Perhaps the local official can take him to a local aquarium and give him his wish...
Then again, eating that much tainted meat may harm the sharks.

Russell Brand is claiming that two major media outlets are about to release rape allegations against him that he categorically denies. Furthermore he's already framing it as him potentially getting "too close to the truth"
(truth being ivermectin and other anti vax gibberish)

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sure, what’s wrong with ‘endangered’?

An Only In Florida Story that Kit missed: apparently, a do-nothing attitude seems to run deeper than DeSantis and his political stunts.
Clearwater Beach Hyatt ignored Idalia evacuation order, misinformed guests
Quote:As Hurricane Idalia made landfall north of Tampa Bay early Wednesday, most hotels on Clearwater Beach were empty.
Pinellas County had issued an evacuation order two days earlier for Zone A, which directed all guests and residents to leave the barrier islands.
But the 286-room Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa stayed open, sending emails to guests and sliding notices under their doors with false information. “We have not been ordered to evacuate Clearwater Beach,” the messages said, adding that the resort and restaurants would remain open.

The resort slid letters under doors around 5 p.m. on Monday, four hours after Pinellas County announced the evacuation order that would take effect at 7 p.m. that night, according to six Hyatt guests interviewed by the Tampa Bay Times.

It may be old news, but I only found out about it when What The Fuck Is Wrong With You covered it, and that episode dropped on YouTube today.

That he’d be recaptured was never in any serious doubt. What surprised me is that it didn’t end in a shootout with fatalities.

Remember the Chinese spy balloon that everybody freaked out about?
It turns out that it wasn't a spy balloon, and everything China said about it was true.
Quote:Now, seven months later, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, tells "CBS News Sunday Morning" the balloon wasn't spying. "The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon," he said.

It doesn't matter what its purpose was. You don't violate a sovereign country's airspace -- apologists be damned.
Also, I wouldn't disclose what I'd found out, either. I'd let the Chinese wonder and worry.

But then he wouldn't get paid.
