Audrey II lands in Panama

We’re following this one, but we’re not sure if we are buying it

Here’s a strange one in the category of space rocks. A rerported Pedregal meteor in Panama is making the rounds on TikTok and other social media, mostly TikTok, and mostly because of videos that showcase a person who seemingly found a flaming meteorite, kept it.

And now it’s beginning to grow tentacles and move. The user has received tens of thousands of comments and even more shares.

They’re calling it the Venom meteorite. In one particular video, he puts a leaf on top of the rock, and the leaf starts to burn. He said he can’t leave it near the sun, or the sun makes it grow. We’re all watching with amusement and enjoyment. But let’s have some discernment.

Others are saying its just a hoax and a spray painted potato..

Here is a link to the account:

The story goes that it was hot to the touch on in flames when found, somebody covered it with a bowl, and then strange black tentacle-like growths began pushing out of the rock. Clips of it are being called the “Venom meteorite,” and some even claim it’s a living thing that doesn’t need food, water, or air to survive. It sounds like something straight out of a horror movie, and of course that’s why it’s spreading so fast online.

So far there’s no real evidence behind the hype. No scientists have confirmed a meteorite fall in Pedregal, no labs have studied these so-called tentacles, and no credible outlets have reported on it.

So.. are we looking at a hoax, a misidentified rock, or maybe just mold or fungus creeping across a surface that people decided to make look otherworldly?

If this really were a genuine meteorite with strange growths, wouldn’t it be front-page news in the science world? Until then, it’s just another viral mystery that keeps people scrolling.

We’ll keep watching the story. We’ll keep following. And if this thing truly grows to the point of a Little Shop of Horrors creature, well, we better find Seymour and take care of this before it’s too late.

New Faces of Death: We are broken

The Charlie Kirk assassination feels different because of how it was delivered. We saw it. Together. In real time. On the same platforms where we share our kids’ pictures, joke with friends, and post memes. The very place that connects us also traumatized us.

For those who saw the Charlie Kirk video this week, we probably still can’t get over it. It was gruesome and graphic—and honestly, it’s something we probably shouldn’t have seen at all.

A few days ago, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a college in Utah, everything seemed to go to hell in a handbasket. From that moment on, we’ve been fighting, doxing, outing.

But put all that aside for a second. One of the worst moments of this entire week was not just Kirk’s death, but also the horrifying video of a Ukrainian refugee being stabbed to death on a train. Two separate tragedies, two shocking images, both dropped into our social media feeds.

Back in the old days, you had to hit “play” before you saw something like that. You had to make a choice—yes or no. Sometimes platforms still blur or black out videos now, but for at least 9 to 12 hours after Kirk’s assassination, the footage wasn’t hidden. It auto-played. It popped up without warning. And for those who saw it—including me, against my own will the second time—it was haunting. The first time I clicked intentionally. The second time it was forced on me.

What we all saw was someone’s life being ripped away in an instant. I’m not trying to get graphic or indulge in gore porn, but it felt like watching a soul leave the body in real-time. Blood pouring, life slipping.

The Drudge Report even used an image of Kirk slumped lifeless as its main photo for 24 hours, linked directly to the video. We can debate whether people had the “right” to see it, but even if we do—maybe we shouldn’t have. It’s not something the human psyche is built to take in casually while scrolling before bed.

And sure enough, the fallout has been real. People online have said they couldn’t sleep for days. Others described feeling sick to their stomachs. All because of a video they didn’t ask to see.

In the past, disturbing content was something you sought out. Kids traded VHS copies of Faces of Death. Early internet users braved Rotten.com. That was back when the “dark web” was just the web. But the Charlie Kirk video? This was a dark-web moment happening on the mainstream internet. And maybe that’s what feels so different about it.

We’re not saying this is an Archduke Ferdinand moment, but the assassination feels different because of how it was delivered. We saw it. Together. In real time. On the same platforms where we share our kids’ pictures, joke with friends, and post memes. The very place that connects us also traumatized us.

I don’t know where we go from here. I’m not calling for bans or laws. I’m not demanding that social media change its rules overnight. What I’m saying is simpler, more gut-level: we weren’t supposed to see that video. Those of us who did probably won’t forget it. And that’s not good for our minds, our hearts, or our national consciousness.

A resonance above all else.

The hum of the planet spiked today. Did you feel it?

Did you feel the spike?

According to people who are paying close attention to the Schumann resonance, the spike itself was off the charts today—and has been building for a few days. Strange activity has been noticed before, but today’s complete whiteout seems to signal a surge of something across the planet. Interestingly, this surge also coincides with the announcement of the Charlie Kirk suspect, Tyler Robinson, being caught.

Now, what is the Schumann resonance exactly? Technically, it’s a set of electromagnetic frequencies generated by lightning and natural atmospheric activity, circling the Earth between its surface and the ionosphere.

Or it’s just a load of horse manure..

Some scientists say it’s nothing mystical at all, just a natural background hum of the planet. Others dismiss modern “spikes” being reported online as little more than misread charts, pseudo-science, or new-age nonsense. Still, many believe the Schumann resonance reflects or even influences human consciousness, and they report physical and emotional symptoms when the charts show a whiteout—headaches, brain fog, fatigue, restlessness, high energy, stress, ringing in the ears, and more.

Whether real or imagined, what’s clear is that something vibrationally unusual happened today—and for those sensitive to such things, it felt pretty big. So, how do you feel today?

Oddities in the Charlie Kirk killing

As the investigation into the crime plays out, the post-crime world has become just as strange. A few coincidences stand out.

A whirlwind of a news cycle has developed. We still don’t officially know who the Charlie Kirk killer is. But countless suspects are being bantered about on social media. Even 4chan got into the mix, digging up someone with a SoundCloud track about Charlie Kirk being dead at the age of 31—written long enough ago that it reportedly drew an FBI visit to the person’s doorstep. There’s also surveillance video of a purported shooter on a roof. Yet, at the same time, crowd reactions are claiming that everything was just a little too well-done for it to be a lone wolf.

As the investigation into the crime plays out, the post-crime world has become just as strange. A few coincidences stand out.

The first came from Jezebel, the pop culture website. Just one day before Kirk’s assassination, they published an article joking that they hired some Etsy witches to put a hex on him. After the murder, the piece had to be updated so Jezebel could clarify that they did not, in any way, support the killing that took place less than 24 hours after those “witches” supposedly placed their hex.

But maybe even more interesting than the paranormal world of Etsy witches is the AI-contrived world of books on Amazon. Here’s the catch: a book titled The Shooting of Charlie Kirk appeared almost instantly. No big shock there—AI could probably crank out a book like that in seconds. The real shock was the publication date: September 9th. That’s the day before the shooting.

We verified this ourselves. The listing existed on Amazon, and we saw it both on the app and the website. The screenshots we’ve shared weren’t taken from some third-party site—they’re ours. Whether what we were seeing was a glitch or not, the fact remains: both platforms showed the book live on September 9. Now it’s gone.

We’ve been searching since and haven’t seen much of an official response from Amazon. What we did find, though, is that books submitted to Amazon’s system usually sit in the ether for 24 to 72 hours before they’re approved for sale. So how did this happen? Really—how did this happen?

People can joke all they want about conspiracy theories, but this isn’t just funny. It’s weird. Very, very weird.

With all of this going on, there are also strange rumors that the President was AI during his Oval Office response to the killing..

There are people who are being doxed over their celebrations of the Kirk killing..

Some people became very blood thirsty in the immediate aftermath.

At this point, amid this messy aftermath, Congress is freaked enough that members are talking about not being in crowds anymore..

Meanwhile, the manhunt continues for the shooter, and the reaction across this divided nation continues right alongside it.

American Nosedive: The Charlie Kirk assassination

A strange wave has come over this country. We can’t quite pinpoint what that something is. Political battles have always taken place. Fighting has always happened. Animosity and violence, from time to time, have occurred. But the assassination of Charlie Kirk yesterday ignited a different kind of wave.

You had your usual back-and-forth: the “thoughts and prayers” crowd on one side, and then—far more disturbingly—people who weren’t just indifferent, but openly celebrating. Not hiding it. Not whispering it. Celebrating. Memes, mockery, gleeful remarks. We’ve all had family or friends who said ugly things about news events, but those conversations used to happen behind closed doors, around the kitchen table.

Now, they happen instantly on social media, in the raw hours after blood is still drying. Screenshots of celebrations go viral. Then there are fights about the fights—arguments over whether revenge is needed, whether to dox people, whether to double down. The chatter becomes clatter. The noise eats itself.

And through it all, the obvious truth: violence is a failure. When you turn to violence, you’re essentially admitting defeat. You’re declaring your ideas weren’t strong enough to win on their own.. so instead, you kill the person holding the ideas you hate. It’s morally bankrupt. It accomplishes nothing but more grief. Yet last night, videos spread of people defending it, saying Kirk’s murder proved that sometimes violence is the answer.

That’s where we are. The great American nosedive. We’ve talked about pop culture reactions to tragedy before. But this one? This one feels different. This one feels rotten.

It feels like we’re in a soft Civil War. Not the kind with battle lines and uniforms, but one fought in algorithms, comment sections, and dark private groups. The beginnings of a conflict with no victors.

We should be pausing, collecting ourselves. But nobody is. We should be thinking deeply. But thoughtfulness has been replaced by taunts and jeers. We cheer when “the other side” takes a violent end, as if that’s a point scored for our cult.

Sometimes I just want to tap out, let someone else step into the ring, because staying in the ring is exhausting. Where do we go from here? Maybe nowhere.

Did you ever see a perfectly crisp red apple, shining in the sunlight? It looks beautiful, delicious—until you bite into it and find it’s rotten inside. That’s America right now.

So who’s going to take the first bite?

A Devil of a Hit: The Conjuring: Last Rites

CONJURING LAST RITES with $75 mil + weekend

The Conjuring: Last Rites has stormed into theaters and, according to estimates, scored a devilish $75+million at the box office in its very first weekend. That’s not just impressive but it also makes the film the number one horror release of the year, right out of the gate.

Move over SINNERS.. and hold the WEAPONS.. there is a new crown as the genre’s breakout hit. But with Last Rites arriving at the start of September, just as cooler air and autumn vibes start to set in, maybe the timing played a role? Did the movie ride that seasonal wave, or does it truly have the staying power to compete long-term with the biggest names of the year? Week two will tell.

Deadline said that a big slice of the audience included women and Hispanic men and women, a demographic pull that may be connected to the movie’s religious themes and the enduring cultural fascination with faith, demons, and exorcisms.

For now, all eyes are on whether those opening-weekend chills turn into a sustained scream at the box office. But one thing is certain: thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren’s legacy, The Conjuring franchise still knows how to scare up big numbers.

Aliens on the senate floor.

Sen. John Kennedy, the well-known and outspoken senator who has provided the internet with countless memes and offbeat committee-room moments, has done it again. This time, it was during a speech about radioactive shrimp from Walmart.

With his trademark flair, Kennedy brought out a giant cardboard photo of the alien from the movie Alien. At one point, he even joked that we might become the alien ourselves if we ate radioactive shrimp. But then, in classic Kennedy fashion, he pivoted to a serious note. And no matter your political party, he had a point.

Countries like the United Kingdom and China do a much better job inspecting their food imports than the United States does. Kennedy reminded us that while “radioactive shrimp from Indonesia” sounds absurd, it’s not isolated. Since that frozen shrimp recall, more recalls have popped up—cooked shrimp, shrimp cocktail—across stores like Walmart and Kroger nationwide.

Kennedy didn’t mince words: it’s unconscionable that our system lets this happen. The isotope found in the shrimp isn’t some minor contaminant—it’s dangerous, deadly even. And the truth is, this probably won’t be the last time something like this happens.

So yes, we got the meme-worthy image of an alien propped up on the Senate floor. But behind the humor, there’s a serious conversation we should be having about food safety in America.
