Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of sex trafficking, is now learning Russian to avoid going insane in her prison cell, The Mail on Sunday has reported.
Maxwell doesn’t have access to pens, pencils, and books — but is allowed to use a laptop for a few hours a day to learn the language.
Why Russian, though? 🤔

😳 A Florida jogger managed to fight off a teenager who ‘planned sex games’ with his corpse.
Florida police have arrested an 18-year-old local, Logan Smith, after he attacked and attempted to kill a jogger, whose corpse he planned to hide in his closet at home to use it in "his sexual fantasies", state law enforcement has revealed in their report.
Unfortunately for the attacker, the runner knew some martial arts moves, which he used to overpower and restrain the assailant until the police arrived.
The attacker planned to use a rubber mallet and deodorant spray to stun and disorient the victim, but instead simply tried to strangle him using a clothing robe belt, the report said of Smith's plans. He tossed the belt over the victim’s head and around his neck, but the jogger managed to break free and repel the attack.
The 18-year-old allegedly claimed that he decided to implement his murderous plan after watching the film "Scream".

🚫 Anti-vaccine activists march in DC to protest mandates
Thousands of protesters from across the country — including some of the biggest names in the anti-vaccination movement — descended on the nation’s capital on Sunday for a rally against vaccine mandates.
Organizers had projected that 20,000 people would attend the rally, marching from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, according to a permit issued by the National Park Service. A smaller crowd of several thousand, however, arrived on the Mall by early Sunday afternoon.
Nevertheless, national surveys suggest that an estimated 1 in 5 American adults remain unvaccinated. Among children ages 5 to 11, who became eligible for the shots in November, fewer than 20 percent are thought to be vaccinated.

📲 WhatsApp is said to be almost ready to migrate Android chats to the iPhone
Meta may soon release two highly-requested features: the first is one iPhone users have been waiting for since the beginning - the ability to migrate their chat history from Android to iOS. In the second, WhatsApp is also said to be working on a two-step verification feature for its desktop and web clients.
It’s unclear when the company plans to release either feature. A month before the migration one launched on Samsung devices, WhatsApp head Will Cathcart said it would arrive on iOS phones “soon.”

🤖 Some US hotels are using room-service robots to assist guests and deliver food amid staffing shortages.
The robots, created by Savioke, carry out simple tasks such as delivering meals or other items to guest rooms, allowing hotel staff to focus on crucial tasks like manning the front desk at a time when staff levels remain at record lows. Businesses in many industries are suffering from the effects of the labor shortage. Some have been forced to pay more attractive wages to retain employees or slash operating hours due to low staff levels.
Savioke CEO Steve Cousins said the robots do not replace workers but are an added "arsenal" for hotels. He claimed that hotels from New York to California have placed orders to purchase the robots.

🛳 Cruise diverted to Bahamas after arrest warrant issued for Crystal Symphony
A cruise line is in a state of chaos after unpaid fuel bills caused a Miami judge to issue an arrest warrant for the Crystal Symphony cruise ship. The warrant gives authorities the ability to seize the ship if it enters US waters. As a result, the ship is currently docked in Bimini instead of returning to South Florida.
This comes just days after Crystal Cruises suspended all sailings following a bankruptcy filing by its owner, Genting Hong Kong. In the complaint, Peninsula Petroleum claims Crystal Cruises, and one of its sister lines, Star Cruises, owes them some $4.6 million dollars in unpaid fuel bills dating back to last year, with slightly more than $1 million of that debt coming from the Crystal Symphony alone.
