So the internet really showed up for this “Heat Dome” dilemma we’ve been enduring… with a whole bunch of “life hacks.” Some helpful, some… not so much. Like sleeping under a damp sheet. That can work—unless it’s humid, in which case you’re just marinating. Then there’s the whole “smear yogurt on your windows” idea. The … Continue reading Myth-Busting Summer Cooling Hacks

A guy in Maryland called police to report his car stolen… which is already a bad day. But it gets better. Because while his car was being stolen, he was allegedly across the street… burglarizing a Verizon store. Yeah. Timing is everything. Cops show up, start connecting dots pretty quickly. There’s blood on the broken … Continue reading Karma Catches Crook Mid-Crime

For real. A goat led Washington deputies on a chase. They offered it bribes and attempting to speak it’s language, until a brave civilian risked it all to bring down the bad-news-billy. Here’s a video. Photo by Maxime Agnelli on Unsplash

So here’s the deal for the 4th in Joplin… things kick off at 5:30 at Fred G. Hughes Stadium over at MSSU. It’s the big one this year—the country’s turning 250, so they’re going a little extra. Think food trucks, bounce houses, and that “we stayed for the fireworks” level of commitment. Live music starts … Continue reading City of Joplin July 4 Celebration

A Florida woman gets pulled over last weekend. Sunrise Saturday morning, weaving a little, allegedly not super cooperative. Ends up getting arrested after resisting a deputy and heads off to jail. Now comes intake, where they run her through one of those scanners that basically says, “Hey… something’s not quite right here.” Specifically, her “lower … Continue reading Booger Sugar Baggie Butt Blunder

A quick reminder before you celebrate America by almost setting your garage on fire… fireworks are not that complicated. Find an open space. Not your driveway. Not next to your car. Definitely not under a tree you “think is probably fine.” Open space. Light one firework at a time—this isn’t a speedrun—and then back up … Continue reading Friendly Fireworks Safety Tips

A quick reminder as we approach the holiday weekend: cigarettes and fireworks are not a great combo. Cigarettes and 700 pounds of fireworks, even worse. Out on Whidbey Island in Washington, a guy had been quietly building what neighbors describe as a very not-quiet stockpile of fireworks. We’re talking hundreds of pounds, sitting around his … Continue reading Cigarette Carelessness Causes Fiery Fireworks Fallout

Showing up to a Fourth of July party empty-handed? LAME! Showing up with a sad bag of chips? Somehow worse. If you want to look like you have your life together, bring something that actually helps. Start easy: a little host gift. Flowers already in a vase, a chilled bottle of something bubbly, or even … Continue reading Better Party Bites to Bring This 4th

There’s apparently a “Mexican Batman” out there, and instead of gadgets and a cave, this guy’s weapon of choice is… duct tape. Over about a week in Jalisco, five suspected motorcycle thieves were found taped to lampposts like very questionable decorations. We’re talking full wrap job—plus a little extra flair: the word “rat” written across … Continue reading Mexican Batman Busts Bike Bandits
