  • Terry Pratchett’s novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, our new study suggests

    Across Pratchett’s later novels, there was a clear and statistically significant decline in the diversity of adjectives he used. The richness of descriptive language gradually narrowed. This was not something a reader would necessarily notice, nor did it reflect a sudden deterioration in quality. Instead, it was a subtle, progressive change detectable only through detailed linguistic analysis. Crucially, the first significant drop appeared in The Last Continent, published almost ten years before Pratchett received his formal diagnosis. This suggests that the “preclinical phase” of dementia — the period during which disease-related changes are already occurring in the brain — may have begun many years earlier, without obvious outward symptoms.

    • Pratchett fans were aware at the time, but likely to put it down to fame and greed: Why put months into a book when the first draft will sell as well? The later Vimes stories, especially, are repetitive and lost much of the joy that earlier works had.

  • Haley Baylee begs judge to toss ex-husband Matt Kalil's lawsuit over penis comments

    “Plaintiff’s complaint seeks to hold a woman in the public eye civilly liable for providing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma she suffered and described as having led to the end of a highly publicized celebrity marriage with an NFL football star,” the court papers read. “Deadass … for our whole marriage, deadass,” Baylee added. “But I was going to try it all. We tried it all: therapist, doctors. Not even lying … Looked up lipo-type s–t … That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kinda writes itself. That was the biggest factor.” The model compared Kalil’s penis size to “two Coke cans stacked on top of each other, maybe even a third.” She ended, “We’ve tried, impossible unless you’re going to be in tears.”

  • Mail carrier suspended after Facebook post about winter storm safety concerns

    A Greater Cincinnati mail carrier said he was suspended from his job without pay amid an internal investigation after he expressed safety concerns about the winter storm on social media. “I left extra early, it took me 45 minutes, usually takes 20. Roads were snow-covered and dangerous,” he recalled. But when he arrived at work, he said he found the USPS trucks buried in snow and no packages to deliver. “Our parking lot was poorly plowed. All the plowing was covering all the postal trucks, kind of burying them,” he said. USPS carriers are typically expected to clean off their own trucks, he added. Thompson expressed his frustrations with the system in a Facebook post about winter safety. USPS contacted him shortly after and told him to “‘take it down,’” he said, “or there could be repercussions.”

  • FBI searches election hub in Fulton County, Georgia

    FBI agents were seen Wednesday carrying out a search at an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, a location that became ground zero for concerns and complaints about voter fraud beginning in 2020. Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a new facility that state officials opened in 2023 that was designed to streamline their election processes. It was not immediately clear what the FBI agents were investigating, but Fox News Digital is told the probe is related to the 2020 election.

  • Here’s Why Many Say the Ilhan Omar Assault Was Staged

    on Tuesday evening, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) was attacked during her first in-person town hall of 2026 in north Minneapolis when a disheveled man sprayed her with an unknown liquid from what police described as a syringe while she was calling for the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

    At no point does she seem genuinely concerned for her own well-being. She barely flinches when she’s sprayed, and instead of backing off, she approaches the attacker. And despite being sprayed with an unknown, pungent substance, she continued the town hall.

  • “I am Going to Kill Donald Trump”: Ohio Attorney General Candidate Runs on Rage

    A video is making rounds on X in which Forhan says, “I am going to obtain conviction, rendered by a jury of his peers, at a standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt, based on evidence, presented at trial, conducted in accordance with due process, resulting in a sentence, duly executed, of capital punishment.” Forhan continued, “That is what I mean when I say I am going to kill Donald Trump.”

    This is protected speech under the First Amendment, but it is also reprehensible rhetoric at a time of increasing social unrest. Forhan is trafficking in rage in the hope that it will secure him a political office.

  • US Black Hawk helicopter trespasses on private Montana ranch to grab elk antlers

    Collecting fallen (or “shed”) elk antlers is a popular pastime in elk-heavy places like Montana, but it’s usually a pretty low-tech, on-the-ground affair. That’s why last year’s story about a US Black Hawk helicopter descending from the skies to harvest shed elk antlers on a ranch was such an odd one. Was it really possible that US military personnel were using multimillion-dollar government aircraft to land on private property in the Crazy Mountains—yes, that’s their actual name—just to grab some antlers valued at a few hundred bucks? The Adjutant General for the Montana National Guard, J. Peter Hronek, quickly issued a statement on Facebook “regarding unauthorized use of military aircraft.” In it, Hronek said that he was “aware of an alleged incident involving a Montana Army National Guard helicopter landing on private property without authorization” and that “an internal investigation is underway, and appropriate adverse and/or administrative action will take place if the allegations are determined to be true.” The Black Hawk was apparently on a training flight at the time. The three servicemen on the chopper were eventually charged in Sweet Grass County Court with trespassing. They all pleaded not guilty. This week, pilot Deni Draper changed his plea to “no contest,” allowing sentencing to go forward without a trial (but without actually admitting guilt).
