New data indicates that as vaccination rates and natural immunity increased, COVID-19 has dropped to the 10th leading cause of death by 2023. Despite this significant decline, with over 76,000 deaths directly or indirectly attributed to the virus last year, it remains a serious concern, according to a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This marks a nearly 69% reduction from the approximately 246,000 COVID-related deaths in 2022. The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, led by Farida Bhuiya Ahmad, observed that COVID-19’s impact on…

On October 4th, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will conduct a nationwide test of its emergency alert systems. This test is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of government mass communication channels and will involve phones, TVs, and…

Tesla Owner Locked Out of Car, Faced with $26,000 Battery Replacement In a TikTok video, Canadian Tesla owner Mario Zelaya blasted his $140,000 car as a “piece of trash” after discovering he was locked out and faced with a staggering $26,000 bill for a new battery. Unlike traditional cars where you can simply unlock the door or call a locksmith if you lose your keys, Zelaya’s situation was far more complicated.

In her photo series “I Fought The Law,” Olivia Locher playfully captures some of the strangest laws in America. Each photograph depicts her breaking a bizarre law from a different state. These outdated or just plain odd regulations have either never been removed or seem completely absurd. For example, there’s a law in California that prohibits riding a bike in a swimming pool. In Kansas, serving wine in teacups is against the law. And in Oregon, you’re banned from exercising while driving—was that really a common issue? Some of these…
