You made it past Monday - congrats! 🎉
Now, let’s shake things up with a question you never thought you’d ask yourself: Would I drink cockroach milk? (No judgment, just curiosity.)
Today’s edition is packed with surprises, so grab your favorite non-bug-based beverage, and let’s get into it!
📌 Did you know? Cockroach milk is 4X more nutritious
Cockroach milk? Yep, it's a thing!
Diploptera punctata, the only cockroach that gives birth to live babies, produces protein-rich crystals to nourish its young.
Scientists say this "milk" is over three times more nutritious than cow’s milk, packed with proteins, carbs, and fats.
But don’t expect it on store shelves anytime soon, it’s incredibly hard to harvest.
Extracting just 100 grams requires killing over 1,000 cockroaches! So, while it’s a superfood in theory, mass production isn’t feasible (or appealing) yet.
📌 This scientist reveals the true origin story of Covid
Dr. Jason Bannan, a former FBI scientist, is speaking out about why he believes Covid likely originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
His team found that researchers, including Shi Zhengli, had been conducting risky experiments on coronaviruses for years, often in unsafe lab conditions. The lab also stored thousands of undisclosed virus samples.
Classified intel suggests three WIV scientists fell ill with Covid-like symptoms in late 2019.
While the FBI maintains "moderate confidence" in the lab leak theory, Bannan argues that the evidence overwhelmingly supports it. He aims to counter claims that this is a right-wing conspiracy, emphasizing that scientific findings point to a lab accident.
📌 Justin Bieber does more drugs openly
He shared photos of himself smoking from what appeared to be a bong while on an electric bike, soundtracked by Cypress Hill’s Hits From The Bong.
Meanwhile, wife Hailey attended the Oscars afterparty solo.
Fans didn’t hold back: “Man up and be a DAD,” one wrote.
Another added, “I can smell this photo.”
Amid concerns over his well-being, a source claimed Justin has “lost motivation” and Hailey is “deeply concerned.”
His rep denied hard drug use, insisting he’s just sleep-deprived from parenting. But fans aren’t convinced, one summed it up: “Grow up.”
📌 A mystery illness is taking over Congo
The CDC and WHO are closely monitoring a mysterious disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has sickened over 1,000 people and killed 60.
Symptoms include fever, headaches, muscle pain, and severe respiratory issues.
While Ebola and Marburg have been ruled out, half of the tested cases show malaria, and officials are investigating meningitis and possible food or water contamination.
The WHO has sent medical supplies and trained health workers to help contain the outbreak. This marks the third unexplained disease surge in Congo recently, prompting further investigations and response efforts.
📌 Oh, and Israel has introduced a new ceasefire proposal
Dubbed the “Witkoff proposal,” it allegedly comes from U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, though Washington hasn’t confirmed it.
The plan requires Hamas to release half its remaining hostages upfront in exchange for an extended ceasefire and negotiations for a lasting truce. Unlike the previous agreement, Israel hasn’t promised to free more Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas accuses Israel of undermining the original deal, which included a full Israeli withdrawal and more prisoner exchanges.
Meanwhile, Arab nations are drafting their own plan for Gaza’s future, countering Trump’s suggestion of relocating Palestinians. Netanyahu, under pressure from far-right allies, sees the plan as political survival, while the U.S. position remains unclear.
If Hamas rejects the deal, Israel has warned of "additional consequences," making the situation even more volatile.
📌 Finally, Lady Gaga to perform in Mexico after 13 years
The pop icon will perform at Mexico City’s GNP Seguros Stadium on April 26 as part of her Mayhem world tour. She announced the news on Instagram with a fiery “¡Viva La MAYHEM!” and fans are already buzzing.
Her new album, Mayhem, drops this Friday (March 7), featuring tracks like Abracadabra and Die With a Smile (with Bruno Mars!). Tickets go on sale March 7, with a presale on March 6 for Banamex cardholders.
But that’s not all, Gaga is everywhere this year. She’s hosting SNL this Saturday (March 8), headlining Coachella in April, and even performing a free show at Copacabana Beach on May 3. Plus, she’s set to receive the iHeartRadio Innovator Award on March 17.
