    Fake Bear Attack Gang caught because they didn't do their homework
    Johnny Mac shares five upbeat stories: Jamie turned his intentionally clumsy “bad” paintings—first made as a joke gift for his wife in 2024—into a side business earning thousands, with pieces selling for $60 to several hundred; he’s fulfilled heavy demand and even had Judi Dench sign and donate one for auction.

    A toilet inside your car - and it's voice activated!
    Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: a Chinese automaker patented a voice-activated car toilet that slides from under the passenger seat, stores waste in a tank with a rotating heating element to evaporate liquid and dry solids, and uses an exhaust fan to manage odors. A University of Oregon study of 20 healthy adults (ages 20–28) compared hot water immersion, traditional dry saunas, and far infrared saunas, finding hot water immersion raised core body temperature the most, boosting blood flow and supporting vascular health when done in moderation. Chicago expanded the “81 Club,” turning public school IDs into Chicago Public Library cards, with pilot usage up 63%. In Switzerland, archaeologists recovered 1,200+ artifacts from a 2,000-year-old Roman-era lake shipwreck. Ohio police found a 91-year-old woman safe, playing Bubble Pop while chasing a high score.
