Besides Texada!
Dangerous Grizzly Killed on Texada Island After Relocation Failed
AmmoLand | February 14, 2026 | Dean WeingartenDuring 2025, a saga unfolded where a dangerous, food-habituated grizzly bear swam across three miles of saltwater to Texada Island in British Columbia, Canada.
Wait — grizzlies can swim three miles? Why don’t they knock off those pansy Global Warming–fearing polar bears? We need lots and lots more ICE.
The bear had been tagged in the left ear. It was a young boar about 4 years old that had been relocated twice due to conflicts with humans. The bear kept coming back.
It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with . . .
But apparently it doesn’t always choose to go Baloo Water:
Just before the swim, the bear had been breaking into fishing boats and had stalked two teenagers on the beach. …
“The people escaped by entering and remaining in the water for half an hour while the bear remained on shore circling back and forth. The grizzly bear tore up one of their jackets on shore before leaving,” COS said.
Another recent incident occurred on May 27 on Texada Island.

Florida restaurant faces backlash after selling pizzas with iguana meat as topping
NY Post | 02/18/2026 | Zoe HussainA Florida pizzeria is facing backlash for adding iguana pizza to their menu while a cold snap in the Sunshine State stunned the invasive reptiles, causing them to fall from trees.
My take-out restaurant — “The Slop John B.” — will run commercials with a catchy jingle:
“Iguana go home
(You know) Iguana go home;
Well, they fell so broke up
Iguana go home!”
Have it Uruguay.
Great Overnight Replacement: The Federal Express Decline and Fall of Collierville, TN
Revolver | October 27, 2025 | Karl HollywoodConclusion
The story of FedEx’s decline and Collierville’s transformation is a microcosm of a quiet crisis that has been unfolding across the United States for decades, though it has accelerated greatly in the past five years. What began with a change in leadership from founder Fred Smith to CEO Raj Subramaniam has culminated in a vote of no confidence from its pilots, an exodus of loyal customers, and a community in the heart of Tennessee that is now unrecognizable to its lifelong residents.
In addition to which, I think I’ll add “Karl Hollywood” to my list of Witness Protection names.
Now I can’t get this image out of my head.
No water or electricity, and children begging in streets filled with rubbish – but this is why I won’t leave Cuba
The Guardian | 13 Feb 2026 | Ruaridh NicollFelix Valdés García was nine years old when the revolutionaries came to blow up his trees. It was the verge of the 1970s and his father, Felin, was losing the family farm to Cuba’s 10-year-old communist regime. …
For decades the family had nurtured their 800 hectares of rich loam alongside the meandering Sagua River. Eight couples, all related, worked the fields, while Felix and his sister had fruitful adventures among the royal palms, avocado, mango and magnificent ceiba.
Magnificent ceiba meets magnificent C4.
“The sappers arrived,” Felix writes in his family memoir. “A gang of agile men who opened holes in the roots and placed charges of dynamite. There was a terrible roar and the trees flew into the sky, defying gravity, then fell shuddering with broken branches.”
Poetic, in a way.
“Fir in the hole!”
