    Britain has intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” tanker for the first time.

    The order was reportedly given personally by Keir Starmer. The tanker SMYRTOS was trying to cross the English Channel after leaving Ust-Luga on June 1.

    Meanwhile, Russian senator Dmitry Rogozin has proposed mining Russia’s own oil tankers. He said they should be blown up if they deviate from their route.

    “If it blows up under their noses a couple of times, with an oil spill and the corresponding environmental consequences, they’ll come to their senses,” said Rogozin, the former head of Roscosmos.

    A Russian family’s vacation was ruined because of ChatGPT.

    A man and his family couldn’t fly to Macedonia after the AI told them they didn’t need a visa — even though one was actually required.

    The family bought tickets from Istanbul to Skopje, booked hotels and a rental car, but border officers turned them away.

    “Look, comrade sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”

    A Soviet-era grocery store meme: grandma shows her granddaughter an empty fish counter and says, “Look, sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”

    The joke is that in Soviet times, “calorie deficit” wasn’t a diet plan — it was just everyday shopping.

    A nurse from the Moscow region won 16 million rubles — about $200,000 — in the lottery thanks to a vision board.

    She kept it in a visible spot: on her refrigerator. The board showed her longtime dream — owning a house.

    She now plans to spend the winnings on building one.

    A woman has apparently turned her apartment building backyard into a pigeon buffet.

    First, she orders 40 bags of grain straight to her apartment — no exaggeration. Then she throws the food out the window with a scoop.

    But the real nightmare starts after that: every day, seagulls fly in to hunt the pigeons feeding there. They catch them, finish them off, and eat them.

    Now the whole courtyard is covered in droppings, feathers, grain, and dead birds.

    A whole pirate ship is on sale in Russia for just 1.5 million rubles ($19k).

    It is actually a 1,700-square-foot house in Udmurtia, complete with a deck, hold, and masts — basically a place where you can live out your “Blackbeard” fantasy.

    Russia is being asked to recognize the incel movement as extremist.

    Vitaly Borodin, head of the Federal Project on Security and Anti-Corruption, said he will ask the Prosecutor General’s Office to give the movement a legal assessment.

    He claims incel ideology contradicts “traditional values” and should be checked, including for possible foreign funding.

    Incels are “involuntary celibates” — mostly men who blame women and society for their lack of romantic or sexual relationships. Some online incel communities have been linked to misogyny and extremist rhetoric.

    Vitaly Borodin is a Russian pro-government activist known for filing complaints and demanding checks against artists, bloggers, and public figures. His group, FPBK, stands for the Federal Project on Security and Anti-Corruption.
