Rodent activity discovered in Angel Stadium food area, triggering immediate shutdown

• U.S. Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists in Cincinnati intercepted a shipment from Germany that was declared as “winter jackets,” but inspection revealed 337 hatching eggs packed in foam layers instead.
• The shipment was headed to Alaska and was flagged for additional scrutiny based on intelligence gathering and customs screening procedures.
• Officials determined the shipment lacked the required import documentation, making the eggs illegal to enter the United States.
• The eggs were seized because the U.S. Department of Agriculture prohibits the import of hatching eggs from countries affected by highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu). The shipment was turned over to USDA authorities.

• Power technology company Rehlko set a new Guinness World Record by mowing an American football field-sized area in just 14 minutes and 51.06 seconds using a ride-on lawnmower powered by its 999cc, 41-horsepower Command PRO engine.
• The record attempt took place on May 16 at Louisville's TurfMutt Great Lawn, where social media lawn-care influencer Hali Rieman piloted the mower across roughly 57,600 square feet (5,350 square meters) of grass.
• Rehlko said the challenge was designed to showcase the durability and performance of its commercial-grade engine under demanding real-world mowing conditions, including grass maintained at a minimum height of six inches.
• The record wasn't about top speed, but about completing a full mowing job as quickly as possible while actually cutting the grass, demonstrating sustained performance rather than a one-off speed run.

• Dallas-area FIFA World Cup venues are preparing to use four-legged robot dogs, primarily Boston Dynamics' Spot robots, to assist security teams by inspecting suspicious packages, checking restricted areas, and helping assess potentially hazardous situations.
• A viral social media video sparked concerns that the robots would use facial recognition to verify tickets and track fans, but Boston Dynamics said the machines are not being used for facial recognition and are focused on perimeter security and hazard detection.
• The robots are equipped with 360-degree cameras and sensors capable of detecting thermal, audio, and chemical anomalies, allowing them to gather information in areas that could be risky for human personnel.
• While officials describe the technology as a safety and efficiency tool, the rollout has reignited debates about surveillance, privacy, and the increasingly visible role of robots at major public events. Similar robot dogs have already been deployed or planned for use at sporting events in the U.S., England, and Mexico.

• A Florida woman who was born without a right hand had a distracted-driving citation dismissed after an officer claimed he saw her holding a phone in her “right hand” while driving.
• The traffic stop went viral after body-camera footage showed the woman lifting her right arm stump and joking, “So you wanna just call this a day?” while the deputy continued insisting he saw a hand.
• The woman, an adaptive athlete and TikTok creator known as “Slightlyoff.balance,” fought the $116 citation in court instead of simply paying it, and received online support and criticism of the stop.
• Before the scheduled hearing, the Palm Beach County deputy requested the case be dismissed for “lack of evidence,” ending a case many commenters called one of the most absurd traffic tickets they’d ever seen.

• A major sewage flow from Mexico via the Tijuana River is dumping up to 38 million gallons of wastewater daily into waters near Coronado, California, severely polluting beaches.
• The contamination has led to frequent beach closures (129 days in 2025 alone), foul odors, and warnings that water contact could cause illness.
• Residents are reporting health issues linked to toxic gases (like hydrogen sulfide), including respiratory problems, headaches, and nausea.
• Officials say the crisis is worsening due to Tijuana’s population growth overwhelming infrastructure, and are pushing for emergency action while the U.S. and Mexico work on long-term fixes.
• The situation has earned the grim (and unfortunately memorable) nickname “poo-nami,” referring to the massive, wave-like surge of sewage contaminating coastal waters and beaches.
