Screwworms are coming—and they’re just as horrifying as they sound

tl;Dr

screwworms are a species of fly that lays eggs in open wounds or orifices, after which the larvae will feed on the hatching site, typically causing more screwworms to lay eggs. they were mostly eradicated via releasing millions of irradiated, sterile males into their population, a thing we still do every month, but for whatever reason, they broke through the biological barrier keeping them back and have made it all the way to Mexico.

the infection of eggs and larvae is incredibly painful and horrifying, and while humans are much less likely to be affected, the agriculture sector will take an enormous hit to their livestocks if it keeps spreading.

12-year-old Texas girl dies after parents used smoothies to treat life-threatening injuries

TL;DR no information about cause of death or why the parents didn't call for emergency services sooner. Investigators speculate that they didn't want police near their home as they didn't call for 4 days and the mother met them at the gate instead of the house. Miranda (child) dead on arrival at ER. Both parents arrested for first degree felony of injury to a child by omission. Per sheriff child was immobile after the injury and lying on a pallet.

Really fucked up parents these are. Some humans don't deserve to have children.

Indie developer who got blocked on Steam for “potential infringement” of his own work finally gets green light after issuing license declaration to himself

Kind of a funny thing, but from what I see, totally understandable. The third party, Valve in this case, doesn't actually know who created what, just that one piece of media has stuff from a different, unrelated piece of media which can cause lawsuits if stolen. I think. Idk, IANAL, and I'm also not a lawyer.

You grasp at what you thought was a key at first, until you realize there isn't a key there. Someone drew a key onto the floor with black chalk. In hindsight you realize you should have noticed that sooner, like before you even reached down towards it, especially since it's not a particularly well drawn key; you could say it's rather shit, and you can't believe you fell for it.

Pretty much yes. Some guy on 4chan made a post detailing why Vaporeon is the best Pokemon to have sexual relations with, and it blew up.

Ah, you just woke up from a midday nap. For a moment there you were a little confused about where you were; it must've been a really good nap. You curl back up on the bench by the broad window out of frame, where the sun was warming your cozy blankets. Just outside, the trees sway gently in the wind, and a herd of deer munch on the grass. Your eyelids grow heavier, and you settle for going back to sleep. There's nothing going on today, so why not? You deserve it. Soon enough, you fall back into the world of dreams,
