A parasite, called the New World screwworm fly, has now crossed the Mexican border and embedded itself in Texas. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that the flesh-eating parasitic fly had been found in La Pryor, around 30 miles north of the Mexican border. The fly eats cattle alive, and cases have been slowly moving north through Mexico. It is the first U.S. case since 1966, and Reuters reports that if it spreads further, it could cost the state’s cattle industry around $1.8 billion. Locals are not impressed, blaming the USDA for letting it reach Texas. “Instead of using every available tool, USDA moved too slowly and relied ⁠solely on a partial solution that takes years to fully implement,” Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told Reuters. Eggs are laid in open wounds, and after hatching, larvae burrow into animals’ flesh, killing them if not treated. Cases are linked to the movement of livestock, and the USDA said it has halted cattle movement within a 12.4-mile radius around the outbreak. It can spread to humans but cases are rare.

A tourist’s roadside wildlife encounter turned into a nightmare when a wild bear attacked him through his car window and tried to drag him from the vehicle. Georgi Bizhev, a 46-year-old Bulgarian tourist, suffered serious injuries after stopping along a mountain road near Romania’s Vidraru Dam in the Carpathian Mountains. After spotting a mother bear and her cub, Bizhev tossed food scraps toward the animals and began taking photos and videos. Video captured by an onlooker shows the adult bear lunging into the car through an open window. Separate footage recorded by Bizhev shows the animal clawing at him as he screams for help. Bizhev suffered serious bite wounds to his left arm after raising it to protect his face and neck. “I saw the bear’s ears prick up and it jumped at me,” he said. “It tried to grab me and pull me out of the car.” Bizhev said his seatbelt helped prevent more severe injuries while other drivers honked and shouted in an effort to scare the bear away. Emergency crews responded after Bizhev alerted guards at the nearby dam. Officials said the mother bear was likely acting to protect her cub. “I entered its environment, it was a mistake for which I paid,” Bizhev admitted.

Camila Cabello, 29, has split from her 40-year-old billionaire boyfriend, Henry Junior Chalhoub, after more than a year and a half together. The couple was first seen together in Saudi Arabia in November 2024, attending an afterparty for an Elie Saab fashion show. Chalhoub is the heir to a family fortune; his family founded the luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group. They were frequently photographed together afterward, spotted in St. Barts a few months later, attending a Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week in March of last year, and vacationing in Ibiza in the summer. Their last public appearance was at Coachella, where they walked hand in hand as Cabello performed during Young Thug’s set. Prior to dating Chalhoub, Cabello was linked to singer Shawn Mendes in an on-and-off relationship from 2019 to 2023, when they officially broke up. Cabello was also linked to life coach and author Matthew Hussey before dating Chalhoub and Mendes.

Rebecca Grossman, the ex-girlfriend of former New York Yankees pitcher Scott Erickson, has been hit with another legal blow after a jury found both her and Erickson negligent in the deaths of brothers Mark and Jacob Iskander. Jurors awarded the boys’ family $176 million in damages stemming from the 2020 crash that killed 11-year-old Mark and 8-year-old Jacob in Westlake Village, California. Grossman, a Los Angeles socialite, was convicted of murder in 2024 and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison after prosecutors said she struck the boys while speeding through a marked crosswalk. The boys’ mother testified that she was crossing Triunfo Canyon Road with her children when she saw two vehicles racing toward them. She said she grabbed her youngest son and dove out of the way of Erickson’s vehicle before Grossman—allegedly traveling 73 mph in a 45 mph zone—struck the boys moments later. While Erickson was never criminally charged, a jury found both him and Grossman were street racing their cars at the time and “acted in concert with each other in the course of their activities leading to the fatal collision.” Grossman also faces punitive damages, which are expected to be determined Thursday.

Summer is almost here, and if you’re looking to unwind without alcohol—or want a mood boost without the side effects often associated with traditional THC or CBD edibles—Camino’s Energy Gummies offer an uplifting buzz without the munchies, next-day grogginess, or couch-lock fatigue. These hemp-derived THCV gummies are a clean, natural alternative to booze, giving you sustained energy with a mood lift.

Each energy gummy is infused with 10 mg of THC and 5 mg of THCv (delta 9 tetrahydrocannabivarin), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid dubbed as “diet weed” for its potential focus-enhancing and appetite-suppressing side effects. Camino calls the sativa-derived chemical compound a “motivational sidekick,” saying fans of the gummy use it to help boost focus for creative projects and even before a workout.

Reviewers seem to agree, noting that the gummies deliver an energizing, uplifting effect without triggering the intense snack cravings commonly associated with other THC products. “I love these. I was looking for a gummy that wouldn’t give me the munchies,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The THCV really helps in that regard! I get a pleasant, energized, and productive feeling from these, without being overly wired like some headier strains.” Another fan of the gummies echoed the sentiment, adding that the focus-enhancing benefits were even more noticeable than expected. “I [was] SO focused on many projects I had been dragging my feet for weeks. Focus and energy was off the charts and no crash.”

Whether you’re looking for a traditional THC experience without the lethargy and increased appetite or simply searching for a hangover-free alternative to alcohol, Camino’s Energy Gummies are well worth adding to your summer rotation.

Several airline employees were injured after a Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner suffered a dramatic nose-gear collapse while parked at Frankfurt Airport ahead of a scheduled flight to Los Angeles. The incident occurred at around 12:45 p.m. local time on Thursday as the aircraft was being prepared for Flight LH450. According to aeroTELEGRAPH, the plane’s nose landing gear suddenly gave way, causing the front of the aircraft to drop and the engines to strike the ground. The impact also tore off at least one landing-gear flap. Passengers had not yet boarded the aircraft, but crew members were on board and the jet bridge was attached at the time of the collapse. A Lufthansa spokesperson confirmed that “several employees were injured and are currently receiving medical attention.” The airline told aeroTELEGRAPH it is working with authorities to determine the cause of the incident. “We are currently investigating the exact circumstances together with the relevant authorities,” the spokesperson said. The flight was canceled, and technicians remain at the scene as the investigation continues.

Bravo executive Andy Cohen has a new man. Cohen was out on the town on Tuesday night with his new partner, Kevin Sobieski, 42, to celebrate his 58th birthday. Sobieski, who works for a private equity firm, previously dated EGOT-winning composer and lyricist Benj Pasek. According to TMZ, the couple has been dating for a few months. Cohen has famously not been in a long-term relationship for some time. The reality TV aficionado dated Clifton Dassuncao for two years before they broke up in 2018. He opened up about the breakup in a 2023 interview, explaining that the relationship forced Dassuncao to come out to his father after the Daily Mail reported they were together. Prior to that, Cohen dated his Radio Andy co-star John Hill for three years in the early 2000s. Cohen has said that over the years he has preferred to use various dating apps to meet people. In a 2025 Call Her Daddy interview, he revealed, “I’m on every app. Grindr, Scruff, Raya, Hinge…” He has expressed a desire to meet Mr Right and settle down. He has clarified how his dating has changed since becoming a single father to two children: his son Ben, born in 2019 via surrogacy, and his daughter Lucy, was born in 2022.

The largest U.S. immigration prison company illegally funneled $250,000 into a political network that helped elect a fresh face on the committee policing ICE, a watchdog has alleged. GEO Group, which runs more immigration detention centers than any rival, was named in a Federal Election Commission complaint filed May 27 by the Campaign Legal Center, as first revealed by the Daily Beast’s sister Substack PunchUp and Migrant Insider. Federal contractors are barred from political giving. The complaint alleges GEO broke that law when it paid the sum last July into a tax-exempt fund tied to Rep. Jim Jordan, 62, the Ohio Republican whose Judiciary Committee oversees ICE. The cash landed 11 days after President Donald Trump signed the law that nearly tripled ICE’s budget. The fund shares its leadership with a super PAC that backed a single congressional candidate last year, in Matt Van Epps, 43. Van Epps won a Tennessee special election in December and now sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, which also polices ICE. The man atop both Liberty groups, Ray Yonkura, spent nearly a decade as Jordan’s chief of staff, POGO had earlier reported. The watchdog’s Saurav Ghosh called it “the very definition of pay-to-play corruption.” GEO, the Liberty groups, and the offices of Van Epps and Jordan did not return requests for comment.

Four robot dogs are about to start prowling FIFA World Cup sites in Dallas and New Jersey using cameras for eyes. Hyundai and the robotics firm Boston Dynamics built the four-legged machines to help secure security for the tournament, which kicks off across the U.S., Canada and Mexico on June 11. The manufacturers have named all the anamatronics “Spot,” for reasons best known to them. Two will be stationed at the World Cup’s International Broadcast Center in Dallas and two at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The bots use onboard cameras to see and will flag potential threats to the officers monitoring them, FIFA says. The rollout has already spooked some online. After a viral clip claimed the dogs scanned fans’ faces, Boston Dynamics pushed back. “The robots do not have facial recognition capabilities,” a spokesperson said. They are one piece of a vast operation. More than 30 agencies are coordinating on North Texas’ security plan, with undercover and uniformed officers and tight FAA drone restrictions on match days.

Unless you’ve got the memory of an elephant, taking notes is a must. Remarkable has built a name for itself with innovative tablets that cut out distracting apps and focus on productivity. In fact, a study by Remarkable found that users experience 35 percent less stress and 20 percent more focus when using a paper tablet compared with working on a PC. Today, the brand is unveiling a new offering—the Remarkable Paper Pure.

The new 10.3-inch model is a marked improvement in every way. The battery is longer lasting (up to three weeks on a single charge), it features a crisper black-and-white canvas display, and it is 50 percent faster than the Remarkable 2. Like its predecessor, writing on the Remarkable Pure Paper is, well, remarkable. It feels just like writing on paper with the digital ink appearing in as little as 21 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye.

A veteran Everest guide who had been feared dead for nearly a week has been found alive, crawling down the mountain alone after surviving at extreme altitude in what rescuers are calling a miracle. Dawa Sherpa—also known as Hillary Dawa Sherpa, after the legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary—was last seen above Camp 3, at around 24,600 feet, while descending after a successful summit. Six days later, a cleaning crew spotted him sliding slowly through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall toward Base Camp, alive, with frostbite on his hands but otherwise in surprisingly good shape. “Dawa managed to survive against all odds for days. It’s nothing short of a miracle,” said Pemba Sherpa, executive director of 8K Expeditions, which had been overseeing the search. “This is a true self-rescue.” “As far as I know, no one has survived alone at that altitude on Everest so far,” Pemba Sherpa added. “I think he must have lived inside the tents to keep himself safe.” Dawa, 52, is now awake and being treated in an intensive care unit in Kathmandu. “He recognized me, is good and speaks,” his daughter Mhendo Lhamo Sherpa told Reuters. “We are happy.” Before he was found, his wife had already offered last rites.

A Chinese man who went missing during a cruise ship visit to a Caribbean island has been found dead. Wang Zyuan, 33, vanished after going hiking alone on a trail in St. Kitts and Nevis on May 27. The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force (RSCNPF) confirmed in a June 1 update that a search team located his body on the Mount Liamuiga trail, but did not reveal a cause of death. The force added in a statement that it “extends its heartfelt condolences to Mr. Wang’s family, friends, and associates during this painful time.” Officials said that Wang had called 911 on the morning of May 28 to report that he was lost on the trail, but that contact with him was “subsequently lost.” In the wake of Wang’s disappearance, the RSCNPF urged anyone hoping to hike the treacherous Mount Liamuiga, or any other trail in the region, to do so with a qualified guide, inform others of their intended route and ensure their cellphones are fully charged. In a statement, Royal Caribbean confirmed Wang was an employee of the company, and it is “saddened” to learn of his death.
