Vegas flamingo kidnapping is a sentence that exists now, and the man responsible is Canadian, which honestly tracks. You lose at poker, you walk the casino floor, you enter the habitat, and you leave with a live bird named Peachy under your arm. The search warrant for his hotel room listed feathers, blood samples, and bedding. Peachy needed stitches. Peachy is going to be okay. The man did not think this through.

Meanwhile in Newark, New Jersey, a robber walked into a store, pulled out his phone, opened Google Translate, and typed his demands in English hoping for Spanish. Anyone who has ever tried to have an actual conversation through Google Translate already knows how this went. He has not been caught, which remains the most surprising detail.

Cottage cheese went viral. The internet decided it was the protein solution for everything. One person made mac and cheese with it. Recipes spread. An entire generation went to the store at the same time and now Montreal has a shortage. The Epstein files probably connect to all of it somehow.
