🦡 🏒 The wife of the Washington Capitals' captain and Russian national Alexander Ovechkin, Anastasia Shubskaya, said on her Instagram page that her husband's villa was robbed by a raccoon that made its way onto the property from the forest.
According to her, the animal stole the pacifier of Alexander Ovechkin's little son Ilya, taking it out of the stroller.
"It came, took the pacifier out of the stroller, ran away into the bushes, returned and, as if nothing had happened, came to our villa in search of food. The raccoon was barely driven away," Shubskaya said.

🤔 What's the biggest order you've ever placed at McDonald's? The 50-piece McNugget, four large fries and some Cokes?
🤯 A McDonald's employee claimed she took a $7,000 order in a TikTok video that went viral.
Brittani Marie Curtis posted a TikTok video on November 10 with the caption "no lie, ya girl is TIRED!"
Curtis said in the video's comment section that the order was for a local prison in Perry, Georgia, and staff only had four hours to make the order. The McDonald's is located near the Houston County Detention Center, according to WSB-TV Atlanta, but it's unclear if that is the location the order was for.

🤨 Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confused a number of facts about fossil fuels in a video to her followers explaining why pipelines are bad for the country.
The congresswoman mistakenly asserted that the Keystone XL and Line 3 pipelines were proposed to increase U.S. natural gas exports in the video she posted on her Instagram account Saturday.
The two pipelines would transport crude oil, not natural gas, from Canada into the U.S. as an import, according to their operators.
