Passenger disrupts 8-hour flight — Captain shuts her down after landing

Logan, a 27-year old six-two inches tall professional swimmer, was returning from a freestyle swimming competition.

The flight from London to New York was about to last eight hours, enough time for him to rest before heading home. He planned to sleep through the flight and regain his energy so that he could go straight to his younger sister and tell her everything about the trip.

Since he booked his flight in the last minute, he ended up in economy class. Well, it wasn’t that it bothered him a great deal. He was just hoping to a safe and quiet flight back home.

When he located his seat, a woman in her 20s was already seated by the window. She smiled at him and said, “It looks like we’re going to be neighbors for some time.” Logan smiled back and nodded.

Everything seemed fine by that point, until a well dressed woman took the seat on Logan’s right side.

She arrived at the very last second and was visibly irritated. She struggled with her overstuffed bag and muttered as she tried to fit it under the seat.

When the flight attendant asked the passengers to fasten their seatbelts and put their tray tables up, everyone complied except for the woman. She started muttering again and rolled her eyes at the flight attendant who approached her and asked her to do what she was told.

As the plane took off, the woman started hitting the button uncontrollably, calling for the flight attendant.

“Yes, ma’am? What can I do for you?” the flight attendant asked.

The woman started yelling. “I hate this seat. How can I seat between these two huge people. Look at them!”

At that point, everyone could hear her words. To make things worse, people started staring.

“I need more room, right now. Look at this man’s legs, they are huge,” she continued sreaming.

The flight attendant told her there were no other seats available, but the woman pushed her and started going up and down the plane.

“I bought this seat. I can’t just sit here for eight hours all cramped up like a sardine.”

She spent the rest of the flight sighing, shifting in her seat, and nudging Logan as though the armrest belonged to her only.

At one point, she turned to Logan and yelled, “You should’ve booked a seat with more legroom. Why should you burden others?”

The yelling continued until the end of the flight, and the moment the pilot announced the landing will take place in 20 minutes, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got to her feet, searching through the overhead bin.

The flight attendant approached her and asked her to sit until they touched down, but the woman refused.

This forced the flight attendant to reach out for assistance from a fellow colleague.

It was then that the captain started speaking through the intercom. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We’re just about to touch down at JFK. Please stay seated and keep your seatbelts fastened at all times. Thank you.”

When the plane finally landed and everyone taxied to the gate, the woman ignored protocol, jumping up, grabbing her things, and nearly hitting Logan and the rest of the passengers. A flight attendant warned her, but she stepped into the aisle anyway — just as the captain emerged from the cockpit.

“Madam, please stay seated, you are making it hard for everyone.” Sadly, the woman wouldn’t listen to the captain either.

Eventually, the captain addressed the whole cabin, “Ladies and gentlemen, I want to express my gratitude for your patience during this flight. I’d like to take a moment to recognize someone who has truly made their mark in our midst. Let’s all give a big round of applause to the passenger in seat 29C—who decided to ignore the crew’s instructions and add a little extra thrill to our journey!”

Everyone started laughing, and the woman felt embarrassed, but it was something she deserved for her behavior.

Trump wanted comedian deported over golf course joke

By

Donald Trump’s policies have been a hot topic since his re-election in November 2024. From the tariffs imposed on nearly every country in the world to his administration’s handling of migration, many of his decisions have sparked significant controversy.

When he’s not busy signing executive orders and changing laws, Trump enjoys playing golf at the lavish courses he owns.

Despite being 78, he is described as “a steady single-digit player who hits a solid deceptively long ball….and he plays quickly, very quickly.”

At the re-opening of the Trump Turnberry golf resort back in 2016, the business mogul–turned president became a “victim” of notorious comedian and prankster Simon Brodkin known for his alter ego Lee Nelson.

BBC

As Trump started his speech, Brodkin threw some swastika-emblazoned golf balls around him and yelled: “Donald, here are the balls you ordered.”

“I’m very sorry Mr Trump and thank you,” he shouted, holding up the balls. “And thank you, I apologise. My bad.”

Brodkin was then taken away by the Scottish police who recognized him and “convinced Trump to not press charges.”

“I do have a criminal record, but also a lot to thank the Scottish police for – they were brilliant,” Nelson told The Scottish Sun.

PA:Press Association

Comedian Simon Brodkin added that Trump “wanted to throw the book at him.”

“Who wants to get waterboarded by the CIA when you can have an Irn Bru in the back of a police van?

“I was in there for ages with the coppers, and it felt more like I was on a stag do than anything else. They drove me to the airport and put me on a plane back to London and told Trump and his team I was deported.”

Among the rest, Brodkin’s pranks include joining in with the Manchester City team’s warm-up, after which he was charged and arrested, storming the stage during Kanye West’s performance at Glastonbury in 2015, and throwing $600 at FIFA President Sepp Blatter and shouting it was for North Korea’s bid to host the World Cup.

“There’s many targets who would be fun to go for but might end up with a death sentence,” Brodkin told Sky in 2019. “Like if I went for Kim Jong Un.

“And then I think if you go for someone like the Queen, that would just be a national catastrophe because you need to go for people with that sweet spot who most people pat you on the back and go, ‘that was funny.'”

This is what really happens during cremation, and it’s not pretty

By
Monica Pop

Although cremation is still taboo in many cultures and religions, it has gained popularity over conventional funerals in recent years.

The truth is, however, that there are many misconceptions surrounding the process of cremation, which leads people to feel scared of it — but that fear simply comes from the unknown.

Lauren, a former funeral home worker who goes by @lovee.miss.lauren on TikTok, decided to walk her followers — over 2.5 million — through the process of cremation and bust a few common myths.

According to Lauren, the most common question people ask is, “How can I be certain that the ashes I receive truly belong to my loved one?”

She then explains the process from start to finish, stating that when the body is transferred to the Crematory, a metal plate displaying a specific ID number is placed on it. The plate remains with the body during the cremation. Following the process, the ashes are placed in a bag labeled with the correct identification, and a cremation certificate is issued containing the person’s name and registration number.

Some of the questions may sound strange, but they refer to real issues.

For example, someone wanted to know if a tampon is removed from the body if a woman dies while on a period.

Lauren explains that in most cases, autopsy is done before cremation and the tampon is removed especially if embalming is conducted. This, of course, is done with the family’s approval and adheres to strict protocols that ensure respect for the body.

Louise Singer, manager of Bramcote Bereavement Services in the UK, also opened up of the process of cremation. She explained that before the process starts, workers check the coffin for anything that can’t be cremated, such as pieces of metal or other tributes that can cause issues.

It is very important to ensure that the body doesn’t have a pacemaker fitted because it can easily explode under high heat and lift a 20-ton, seven-inch-thick cremation chamber into the air.

The temperature in the furnace is between 800 and 1,000 degrees Celsius and it takes around an hour and a half to completely burn.Workers check the progress through a spy hole.

If you have further questions regarding cremation, speak to a funeral director.

We brought our baby for his baptism — the priest’s whisper left us shocked

Thomas, a renowned architect, believed his life was perfect. After all, he had accomplished everything he has ever dreamed of. He was married to his high-school sweetheart, Olivia, owned a nice house, and had a daughter, 3-month-old Emma, whom he adored.

That morning, Thomas woke up feeling more accomplished than ever — It was the day of baby Emma’s baptism.

When he looked at his sweet little girl, he knew that everything he and his wife went through to have her — the exhausting IVF treatments and long hospital stays — was all worth it.

While Thomas’ face spoke excitement, Olivia seemed distant, but he believed she was just stressed because of the upcoming ceremony.

“Is everything ready?” he asked her.

“Yes, everyone’s coming. The balloons are ready, the cake is in the kitchen… It’s going to be a lovely day,” Olivia answered, but because of some strange reason, the smile was lacking from her face.

That morning, Thomas woke up feeling happier than ever — It was the day of baby Emma's baptism.

Once at the church, family members, neighbors, and colleagues started arriving.

Emma was dressed in a lovely blue dress, matching her mom’s.

Priest James greeted everyone who had gathered to witness and celebrate baby Emma’s baptism. He took the baby in his hands, but just as he was about to start the ceremony, his hands started trembling.

“Is everything all right?” Thomas asked.

The priest looked at Thomas, and then at Olivia and the baby.

Finally, he was able to speak. “This child… She bears the Anderson birthmark,” Pasto James said. “This mark. It’s unique to the Anderson family line. My family line…”

That morning, Thomas woke up feeling happier than ever — It was the day of baby Emma's baptism.

Thomas was shocked. “Pastor James, it’s just a birthmark. Many babies have them. What are you trying to say?”

“This exact mark, in this exact place. It appears in every generation of my family,” Pastor James said.

At that moment, Olivia started crying, and Thomas knew something was terribly wrong.

He recalled that months ago, Pastor James’ brother, Andrew, returned to town. He was a counselor at the church and Olivia visited him to help her with the tough time she experienced with the fertility issues.

“No! It can’t be,” Thomas yelled and looked at his wife, but she didn’t say anything. She didn’t deny that Emily could not be his daughter. She just cried, and that was it.

At that moment, Thomas’ world shattered. He left the church and somehow found himself sitting on a bench an hour away. His phone rang uncontrollably, but he couldn’t answer. He wasn’t ready to accept the truth he had just heard, that his Emma wasn’t his.

It took some time before he was able to face Olivia, the woman he loved and trusted with all his heart.

She claimed that she and Andrew had only been together once. At that point, she was at her lowest. But that didn’t change the fact that she betrayed her husband and lied to him about his daughter.

Andrew knew the truth the entire time, but once he learned Olivia was carrying his child, he left town again. He did want to meet the little one when she was born, and they met once at the nearby park, but that was it.

Eventually, Thomas was able to forgive Olivia because he cared about Emma too much. He knew that fatherhood was more than just the DNA that child carried.

But the trust was broken, and their relationship was never the same.

Popular shampoo recalled over deadly bacteria risk

German company Henkel recalled over 1,000 bottles of their shampoo brand Tec Italy Totale Shampoo due to fears of possible contamination with Klebsiella oxytoca, a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause infection of the eyes, skin, and nose.

Henkel warned that it had distributed the shampoo in New York and California but it may have reached additional states.

Tec Italy is available for online purchase to consumers from Europe.

According to a release by the manufacturer, the recalled shampoo “is packaged in a green plastic 33.81 fluid ounce/1 liter bottle, marked with the lot number 1G27542266 on the side and the UPC code 7501438375850.”

Henkel further explained that exposure to Klebsiella oxytoca can cause health effects in humans, including eye, nose and skin infections, with “additional reactions for consumers with immune-compromised conditions,” as reported by Fox News.

“To date, there have been no reports of user harm or injury related to these products,” Henkel said in the release.

“Consumers who experience symptoms, or have any medical questions associated with this recall, should consult a physician immediately.”

The bacteria is not harmful within the intestinal system. However, if it spreads to other parts of the body, such as the bloodstream, it can kill 10–20% of patients.

It can cause pneumonia-like symptoms including fever, chills, shortness of breath, and cough if it enters the body through other channels, such as the bloodstream.

The recall was classified as Class II, which denotes “a situation where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote or where use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.”

Those who have already purchased the shampoo contaminated with the bacteria should stop using it and return it where they bought it for a full refund, the company said.

The Obama family suffered the loss of Marian Robinson, the mother of Michelle Obama.

Robinson, who lived in the White House during her son-in-law’s presidency and brought “normality” into the lives of her granddaughters, Sasha and Malia, died aged 86.

Her family said in a statement that she died “peacefully.”

“As a sister, aunt, cousin, neighbor, and friend to so many, she was beloved beyond words by countless others whose lives were improved by her presence,” the statement from the Obamas and the Robinsons said.

“She passed peacefully this morning, and right now, none of us are quite sure how exactly we’ll move on without her.”

The former first lady paid tribute to the woman she called “her rock.”

“My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today,” Michelle posted on X.

Barack Obama wrote, “There was and will be only one Marian Robinson. In our sadness, we are lifted up by the extraordinary gift of her life. And we will spend the rest of ours trying to live up to her example.”

The Bidens also shared their deepest condolences.

“We knew Mrs. Marian Robinson as a devoted mother and grandmother with a fierce and unconditional love of her family. With the blessing of friendship, we felt that love ourselves – with every quiet smile or warm embrace she shared with us,” Joe and Jill posted.

Marian Robinson was born Marian Lois Shields in 1937 in Chicago’s South Side. She married Fraser Robinson and the couple welcomed two children together, Michelle and Craig. Fraser passed away in 1991 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis.

Robinson took an active role in her children’s education and supported them every step of the way.

During a May 7 episode on the podcast IMO that Michelle Obama co-hosts with her brother, she recalled her husband’s words after the passing of her mother; “You’re next up.”

“That’s sort of the darned thing about being a grown-up. When you lose your parents, you’re next up,” Michelle said about stepping into the family’s matriarchal role. “I guess if anything with mom’s loss, I thank God you’re my big brother and I have a husband who’s older.

“Because Barack was saying, ‘Well, you’re next up.’ And I was like, ‘I’m not really ready to be next up.’ I told him, ‘You’re next up. And Craig is next up. I delegate that power to you,’” she joked.

People left terrified after spotting creepy hidden face in group photo

By

A group photo shared on Reddit has gained a lot of attention, but not for the right reasons.

Namely, when the group of friends posed for the photo, they probably never imagined it would go viral, or that it would end up frightening so many people.

This seemingly innocent photo came with an unexpected twist.

At first glance, it looks just like a regular selfie meant to capture a moment of fun time during a hiking trip of six friends. However, there is something wrong with the picture.

The person who posted it on Reddit captioned it: “A friend of mine sent me this picture from his group of friends in Chile. At first, I didn’t notice anything unusual. But once you see it, you can’t unsee it.”

Reddit

Upon closer examination of the photo, fellow Redditors started noticing a creepy face lurking among the friends. Someone who wasn’t part of the group and not even there when the photo was taken.

Eagle-eyed netizens spotted the creepy face hiding in the bottom left corner of the photo.

The face “squeezed” between the two women isn’t smiling like the rest of the group. What’s more, it stares out blankly from the shadows, giving chills to those who notice it.

“I am not exaggerating when I say that when I finally saw it, I got goosebumps and felt genuine fear,” one commenter confessed. “Wtf. I believe in ghosts again now.”

Reddit

Another person wrote, “My dumb*** was looking at the red thing in the bottom left corner. “I was like, uhhh, looks like someone was just cut out of the pic… then BOOM, I saw it. Runs to hide under the covers.”

Of course, there were also those who tried to offer more logical explanations.

“It’s just a person that’s also in the group with their face being hidden in shadow by the two around it, and made to look creepy with that intense blue filter,” someone wrote.

No matter how that face ended up on the photo, one thing is certain, when you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Photos like this, no matter how unsettling they might be, create a strange sense of fascination.

Is Pope Leo XIV the final Pope? Chilling prophecy sparks debate

By
Monica Pop

Robert Francis Prevost has become the 267th person to become Pope. He will be known as Pope Leo XIV.

Even before his name was announced, the crowd gathered in front of the St Peter’s Basilica chanted “Viva il Papa” or long live the Pope.

Leo, who was born in Chicago, is the first American to hold the position of the head of the Catholic church. Despite his place of birth, the Vatican described him as the second pope from the Americas (Francis was from Argentina).

His election brought renewed hope, especially because he is believed to share late Pope Francis’ values and views on a number of issues, including the poor, migration, and the environment, among the rest.

As Catholics celebrate Pope Leo XIV, a prophecy is casting a shadow on the future of the church.

A prophecy, known as the Prophecy of the Popes, claims there would be 112 popes after Malachy’s time — Saint Malachy was an Irish mystic who lived in the 12th century — with the last one being referred to as “Peter the Roman.”

According to some, Francis, who died on April 21 at the age of 88, could mark the 112th pope on that list, USA Today writes.

Josh Canning, director of Toronto’s Chaplaincy at the Newman Centre, dismissed the idea in 2013. He said, “I don’t know how you can connect Peter the Roman with Pope Francis.”

Fr. James Weiss, an Episcopal priest and professor at Boston College, dubbed the prophecy a forgery. “The prophecies are a forgery. I don’t believe there’s any credibility to them.”

Further, Weiss argues that the popes in the prophesy aren’t specifically names. On the contrary, they are referred to as to  “swift bear” and “rose of Umbria.”

Medieval history professor Joëlle Rollo-Koster says there is not even evidence that Malachy wrote any prophecy whatsoever. ”As a historian, I am hardcore on the evidence, and that, for me, is the ultimate proof that Malachy did not utter prophecies or write prophecies,” she said.

The prophecy, no matter if one believes in it or not, doesn’t show any connection to Pope Leo XIV.
