I installed cameras in our lake cabin and caught my husband with his female coworker

Olivia Reeves, a conservation biologist with a specialty in wetland ecosystems, believed her marriage was picture perfect. She and her husband, James, have been together for many years. He was caring, loving, and trustworthy, or at least she thought so.

When she was given a bigger office at the university where she taught — a corner office with windows overlooking the campus pond where her students conducted field studies — it felt like moving into a palace.

While going through her things, trying to put everything in place, she stumbled upon an old recording — a rather outdated model built to withstand mud, rain, and the occasional drop into shallow water.

She hadn’t used that in a long period of time and was curios to check what it contained, believing she would hear her own voice discussing her research.

To her surprise, she heard her husband’s voice.

“How could this be?” she wondered. “I don’t recall James ever borrowing this from me,” she though to herself.

However, besides James’ voice, there was one of a woman. The two discussed their plans of their life together.

At one point, James could be heard saying, “We’ll use the old cabin. Olivia never goes there. What’s more, she almost forgot it ever existed.”

He was talking of the old cabin by the lake Olivia inherited from her grandfather. It was true she never visited it, but it was a place holding all her childhood memories and it meant the world to her, and now her husband was trying to turn it into a love nest with another woman.

Olivia couldn’t believe what she had heard.

The following morning, Olivia called the university and requested a week of personal leave, citing a family emergency. In some way, it really was a family emergency.

She visited the lake cabin, and to her surprise, it looked nothing like she remembered it. The entire place was renovated. There were new closets and they were filled with clothes belonging to a woman who was obviously tall and slim.

The fridge was packed with food and all sorts of wine.

James turned his wife’s cabin into a home for himself and his lover.

Olivia could confront James, but she chose not to. At least not until she gathered more evidence of his betrayal.

The following day, she installed cameras in the bedroom and on the porch. Tiny cameras that were unable to be spotted easily.

In the days to come, James and his coworker, Vanessa, visited the lake cabin.

They had wine on the porch, hugged each other, and shared their love for one another. Olivia’s heart shattered into a million pieces. She couldn’t believe James, whom she loved and trusted unconditionally, was capable of such a thing.

After going through his emails, Olivia discovered a joint investment account she didn’t recognize. He opened five years prior with an initial deposit of $50,000 from their savings. Regular transfers had increased its value to just over $200,000. However, since James only provided his email and contact, Olivia never received any notifications.

This showed Olivia that James and Vanessa had been together for at least five years. He was leading a double life and she never suspected a thing.

Finally, she was able to confront him.

“James, why don’t we visit my grandfather’s cabin this weekend?” she said during dinner time.

James’ face turned pale.

“This weekend? Well, you know I’m busy at the university. Having lectures and stuff. Maybe some other time?” he said, as his hands shook.

Olivia couldn’t stay silent any longer.

“Or maybe you don’t want me to see how you renovated it?” she said.

James was shocked. “But… how do you know that?” he asked.

“I know everything James, and I have solid proof of your affair. By the way, the divorce papers are on the night stand.”

James started saying that he was sorry. He even cried. But it was obvious he was only sorry because he was about to lose the cabin, which was on Olivia’s name. Their house was too.

“You have a day to pack your things, James,” Olivia said.

She never looked back.

As of the lake cabin. She renovated it again, and got rid of everything that reminded her of the man who betrayed her in the worst way possible.

Daughter of Rep. McGovern passes away during vacation

Molly McGovern, the daughter of Massachusetts Rep. James McGovern, passed away during a vacation in Italy.

The 23-year-old had dinner with her friends when she suddenly experienced nausea.

According to her family, Molly was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer shortly after turning 18 yet lived her life to the fullest despite the diagnosis.

“She had a great 23 years, but who would have thought the last five years would be the best,” her mother, Lisa McGovern, said at a eulogy for her daughter on Saturday at St. Bernard’s Church in Worcester. “There were little miracles everywhere.”

Rep. McGovern paid an emotional tribute to his daughter who passed away and was taken from him way too soon.

“Molly radiated pure joy. She lit up every room with her beaming smile — full of laughter, endless warmth, and a sharp wit that could disarm you in an instant,” he wrote in an Instagram post.

Molly was a student at Northeastern University where she pursued a bachelor’s degree in political science and international affairs.

Her father described her as “unbelievably funny, fiercely loyal, and wise beyond her years,” adding that she had a “rare gift.”

“She made everyone feel special, because she genuinely believed everyone was special,” McGovern wrote. “She treated people with compassion and kindness—always standing up for the underdog, and making fast friends wherever she went.”

According to her father, Molly never let her cancer diagnosis slow her down.

Recently, she finished a semester studying in Asutralia.

Her brother Patrick spoke of his close relationship with Molly, saying the two would FaceTime or speak on the phone every day.

“Molly will always be the soul of our family,” he wrote. “We are so proud of her, and so glad that so many people were touched by her incredible life. We love you, Molly, and we miss you already.”

Molly passed away on April 23, and her funeral was held on May 3.

Full Flower Moon rises tonight—What to know about 2025’s Scorpio Micromoon

The Full Flower Moon, which raises tonight, offers a breathtaking vision for skywatchers worldwide.

It will be fully illuminated May 12, at 12:56 p.m. EDT (17:56 GMT).

The term “Flower Moon” comes from Native American and European traditions of giving each full moon a seasonal name.
So, May’s abundance of wildflowers inspired this month’s moon to be given this flowery name.

The Micromoon, a phenomenon occurring with the Full Flower Moon, is the opposite of supermoon.

Tonight’s moon is one of the few micromoons visible throughout the year. At this point, the moon is farthest from the Earth and appears around 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than a supermoon.

The Full Flower Moon will be visible without a telescope or binocular, all you need is a clear view of the south-eastern horizon.

Midjourney

In case you miss it, don’t worry, because it will be also visible for a few more nights.

According to BBC Sky at Night Magazine, the 2025 Flower Moon will rise in the southeast from the UK.

“It will be beneath the constellation Libra and won’t rise very high in the sky, meaning a clear horizon will be of benefit. The Moon will then work its way across the southern part of the sky, before setting in the southwest in the early hours around dawn.”

This May’s Flower Moon falls under the sign of Scorpio, ruler of the eighth house, bringing themes of power, passion, secrecy, and rebirth.

So far, 2025 has offered an abundance of astronomical events and phenomena, including the Eta Aquariids meteor shower associated with the Comet Halley.

Further, February saw an unusual alignment of seven planets—Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury.

Along with the Flower Moon, the stars Spica and Arcturus will shine above it, and the constellation Libra will rise to its left.

What’s more, on May 13, as the moon sets, Venus and Saturn will be visible in the east, and Jupiter and Mars will light up the western sky as the moon rises.

How consuming cannabis affects your body during workout

In recent years, cannabis has become more accessible than ever, leading to more people consuming it.

Currently, it is legal in several parts of the US and many countries around the world, which has helped reduce the stigma surrounding it.

With this shift of societal perception, a number of athletes who are seeking ways to maximise performance are exploring the benefits smoking weed offers.

The question that raises is whether cannabis truly enhances athletic performance and overall exercise experience.

Cannabis is known for its psychoactive effects, especially the compound THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

When consumed, it triggers a release of dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, leading to feelings of euphoria and relaxation.

The effects of cannabis on exercise are different for different people.

While some report enhanced focus during exercises with the help of the weed, others experience impaired performance.

Jessamyn Stanley, a yoga teacher, body positivity advocate, and writer, highlights the mental advantages of using cannabis before exercise. “Using weed before a workout is a great way to get out of your head about what’s to come,” she explains.

Since exercise is challenging for many, consuming weed can ease the mind and help individuals approach workout with a more positive mindset.

Herb reports of a 1975 study that explored how smoking cannabis could affect prolonged physical activities like cycling.

The results showed that cannabis users (18.2mg THC) experienced reduced cycling endurance. At first, this was linked to higher heart rates, but that was later challenged as cannabis consumption elevates heart rates.

Another potential benefit of consuming cannabis is pain relief and inflammation reduction.

A survey in Nature found that around 70% of people who consume cannabis said being high made workouts more enjoyable, and cannabis users exercised longer than non-users. However, the findings are limited and observational, meaning they only show correlation, not causation.

Some of the risks of smoking weed users need to consider are that THC can impair coordination and judgment and increase the risk of exercise-related injuries.

The final thought would be that you should always consume with caution.

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

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

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.

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…”

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.
