He spent less than 3 minutes on the field during the New York City FC's 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union, but he has already earned one-name status. "SIGN HIM NOW," the official MLS X account wrote on a post that featured video of Raquinho's escapades. Play was stopped during the 21st minute as the raccoon entered the penalty area at the New York City end of the field and started scampering around the field. Williams slipped into play-by-play mode as the excitement reached a peak and the raccoon was captured under one of the garbage cans.

Claim: Genetic testing company 23andMe sold users' data to the Chinese government. Rating: About this rating Originated as SatireIn May 2024, a rumor spread that genetic testing company 23andMe – which provides information on ancestry and health variants with the use of a sample of saliva – sold users' data to the Chinese government. The claim that 23andMe sold users' data to the Chinese government largely spread via a screenshot of an article featured on Medium, an online publishing platform. However, shortly after the publishing of the article on Medium, an article [archived here] in the Washington Post detailed a new Biden order that would "stem flow of Americans' sensitive data to China," including genetic data. On the 23andMe website, the company's privacy policy specifies that it "will not share your genetic data with employers, insurance companies, public databases or 3rd party marketers without your explicit consent."

Using satellite imaging and analysis of cores of sediment, a new study published Thursday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment has mapped a 64-kilometer (40-mile) long, dried-up, branch of the Nile, long buried beneath farmland and desert. “This is the first study to provide the first map of the long-lost ancient branch of the Nile River.”Ghoneim and her colleagues refer to this extinct branch of the Nile river as Ahramat, which is Arabic for pyramids. Ancient Egyptians likely used the now-extinct Ahramat Branch to build many pyramids. It’s possible that “countless” temples might still be buried beneath the agricultural fields and desert sands along the riverbank of the Ahramat Branch, according to the study. Most likely, a period of drought and desertification swept sand into the region, silting up the river, Ghoneim said.

There may or may not be another father-like figure in this proposed kid’s life — unclear right now.
