Shipwreck from 1892 found on bottom of Lake Superior
The wrath of Lake Superior has claimed countless ships throughout history, including the Edmund Fitzgerald-one of the most famous shipwrecks of the 20th century. But recently, a discovery was made of a ship that hasn't seen the light of day since before Oklahoma became a state.
"The Western Reserve was a very important ship in her time. She was one of the first all-steel vessels on the Great Lakes, she was built to break cargo shipping records and was deemed one of the safest ships afloat," the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society said on its website.
However, on Aug. 30, 1892, a gale overtook the ship, causing it to sink within a matter of minutes with only one of the 28 aboard at the time surviving.
The ship was lost to the raging waters of Lake Superior until 2024 when it was discovered 600 feet below the surface about 60 miles northwest of Whitefish Point off the coast of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Divers recently plunged into the depths of Lake Superior to capture images and videos of the shipwreck, revealing what the Western Reserve looks like more than 130 years after sinking.
The ship had broken into two pieces, with one half on top of the other, which added to the challenge of finding it. Video of the shipwreck revealed snapped beams, a deformed hull and even a bell that had managed to stay intact.

Video shows bear taking dip in Gulf off Naples beach. 'Mom, run!' son warns his mother
A Florida black bear was caught on video going for a swim in the warm waters of the Gulf, just offshore from a Naples beach. Kylie Nelson and her son were taking a morning beach walk on May 30 when they spotted the bear taking a dip, according to Storyful. As the bear neared the beach, the boy can be heard in the video yelling, "Mom, run!" After leaving the water, the black bear can be seen running in the backyard of a building. Wild black bears are found in almost half of Florida, according to the FWC. Southwest Florida is among the "frequent" locations the FWC classifies where Florida black bears can be seen. Per FWC, nuisance bear calls climbed from 2,000 in 2016 to more than 6,000 in 2024. 'As the bear population grows and development occurs, we are probably going to see more bears move into developed areas. So that's one reason we want to try to manage bear population growth,' FWC's director of hunting and game management Morgan Richardson said. If you encounter a black bear at close range, FWC advises you to stand upright, back up slowly and speak to the bear in a calm, assertive voice. FWC also recommends the following: Don't feed or intentionally attract bears If a bear eats something on your property, take note and secure it Don't surprise or approach a bear If you're in your yard: Make sure you're in a safe area and the bear has a clear escape route, then make noise or bang pots and pans to scare the bear away Don't turn your back, play dead, climb a tree or run. Back away slowly. Avoid direct eye contact as the bear may view it as aggressive behavior A man and a dog were killed in a bear attack in rural Jerome, in Collier County, Florida on May 5, 2025. A family member reportedly called 911 at 7:15 a.m. after witnessing a bear kill the victim's dog. There was no sign of Robert Markel, 89, and his trailer was in disarray, with a mattress and other items scattered throughout, according to a police report. No blood was reportedly found inside the camper, but Markel's bloodied wallet, pants and T-shirt were found about 20 yards away in a wooded area. Markel, of Jerome, was found dead on the property, about 100 yards from the dog. Florida Fish and Wildlife later confirmed a 263-pound male black bear killed Markel in the first recorded fatal bear attack in Florida history. The bear was one of three shot and killed around Markel's property and sent for necropsies and DNA testing. Wildlife encounter: Florida man gored by bison in Yellowstone National Park. What we know A new Florida law allows the use of lethal force to kill a bear if the person "reasonably believed that his or her action was necessary to avoid an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to himself or herself, a pet, or substantial damage to a dwelling." Notification must be provided to FWC within 24 hours. The agency will dispose of the bear. Possession, sale and disposal of bear parts is prohibited. Fines for violations can be $5,000.

Is ‘Mob Psycho 100' returning for season 4? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 3, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 3, 2025, 11:40 IST Mob Psycho 100, a beloved Japanese anime series, has captivated audiences worldwide with its unique blend of supernatural action, heartfelt character development, and stunning animation by Studio Bones. Created by ONE, the same mind behind One Punch Man , the series follows Shigeo 'Mob' Kageyama, a middle schooler with powerful psychic abilities, as he strives for a normal life under the guidance of his mentor, Reigen Arataka. With three successful seasons, fans are eagerly asking: Is Mob Psycho 100 Season 4 happening? Here's everything we know so far about the potential for a new season. The Current Status of Mob Psycho 100 Season 4 As of June 03, 2025, Studio Bones has not officially confirmed Mob Psycho 100 Season 4. The third season, titled Mob Psycho 100 III , aired from October 6 to December 22, 2022, and adapted the remaining chapters of ONE's manga, concluding with the Epilogue Arc. This finale provided a satisfying end to Mob's journey, wrapping up his emotional growth, acceptance of his powers, and his attempt to confess to his childhood crush, Tsubomi. Because the anime has fully adapted the 101 chapters of the original manga, which ended in December 2017, the likelihood of a fourth season following the main storyline is slim. Release Date Speculation for Mob Psycho 100 Season 4 No official release date exists for Season 4, as it remains unconfirmed. However, looking at the release pattern of previous seasons—Season 1 (2016), Season 2 (2019), and Season 3 (2022)—a three-year gap is typical. If Studio Bones greenlights a fourth season or an original project, the earliest plausible release could be late 2025 or 2026. Where to Watch Mob Psycho 100 All three seasons of Mob Psycho 100 are available for streaming on Crunchyroll, with simulcasts of the Japanese broadcast and English dubs.
