Police in Kentucky are looking for a man who has defecated on the same porch multiple times over the past week for no apparent reason.

Louisville Metro Police say they have received three police reports about the alleged “porch pooper,” who’s since gained lots of attention online after doorbell videos of him have been posted on Reddit and Instagram.

The homeowner, who did not want to be identified, being targeted by the so-called porch pooper said he first noticed something was up on Tuesday.

“I went out to my front porch that morning and noticed what I thought was cat poop,” he said.

The homeowner said he cleaned it up and checked his Nest doorbell camera from the night before and that’s when he realized it certainly wasn’t a cat.

“Not only did he defecate, but he also urinated on our welcome mat,” he said.

Your. Employer. Doesn't. Care. About. You.

Hang ten and amen

The cult of personality surrounding Elon Musk appears to have reached a new peak. ... a giant bronze statue of Elon Musk has been spotted being transported on a flatbed towed by a Tesla Cybertruck.

...

The giant Elon Musk statue was spotted in Brownsville, Texas, where Elon Musk's space venture, SpaceX, is building Starbase, a launch pad and rocket factory that will produce the next-generation SpaceX Starship rocket.

...

There is a lot of excitement for SpaceX and Elon Musk in the area and a group calling itself ElonRWA appears to have set up shop in Brownsville, and this group is behind the Elon Musk statue.

...

ElonRWA took possession of the original drawing of Elon Musk and turned it into an NFT (non-fungible token). After the image is turned into an NFT, you can now buy and own a part of the digital asset.

...

the giant Elon Musk statue being towed by a Cybertruck is an attempt to gain notoriety and direct people to purchase a fraction of the Elon Musk drawing NFT and own a piece of the meme.

Lying that he was a volunteer at a student-care centre and that he needed to complete a game challenge to get back his slippers, Tan Boon Hwee convinced a woman to let him draw smiley faces on her toes.

After drawing on her toes, he touched her feet so that he could adjust their positioning for picture-taking.

For this, Tan, 35, was sentenced on Thursday (Aug 15) to eight months' jail for outrage of modesty.

On top of that, there was another penalty of 36 days' jail because he committed the offence while on a remission order, which is typically issued to prisoners who show good conduct and are then allowed to be released after serving two-thirds of their sentence.

Tan, who has a sexual interest in feet, was convicted before for similar offences from 2019.

He has chronic adjustment disorder with depressed mood and paraphilic disorder (related to atypical sexual interests), but the latest assessment by the Institute of Mental Health, dated May 3 this year, found that these disorders had no contributory link to his offending.

...

In April 2022, TODAY reported that Tan was sentenced to two weeks and five days' jail after being convicted of two charges of outrage of modesty.

In one of these offences, he had claimed to be a member of a non-existent charity called the "Barefoot Walking Society" when he molested a woman by caressing the soles of her feet. They had met through dating application Tinder.

In 2019, he was fined S$8,000 for five molestation offences.

A man who was convicted of pointing a gun at Burger King drive-thru worker who wouldn’t accept drugs for payment and later shooting at other people elsewhere the same night has been sentenced to 143 years in prison.

Prosecutors who announced the sentence Thursday said the drive-thru incident was the beginning of a series of crimes Eugene Robertson carried out in the Denver suburb of Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022. No one was wounded.

In April, a jury found Robertson guilty of 17 crimes, including eight counts of attempted murder. The sentences for many of the crimes were stacked on top of each other, leading to a long sentence. Robertson had faced a maximum sentence of more than 400 years when he was sentenced Aug. 9.

...

The Sentinel Colorado in Aurora previously reported that a witness at the convenience store store told police there seemed to be “something off” about Robertson and that he was “talking about God” and carrying a Bible with a purple cover.

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin:

A pair of colonoscopies that included a screaming patient and a surgical tech without a medical license handling scope insertion put a Tampa doctor on probation last week by the state’s Board of Medicine.

Dr. Ishwari Prasad also was fined $7,500, must pay $6,301 in Florida Department of Health case costs and has to take a five-hour continuing medical education course in laws, rules and ethics before Aug. 7, 2025. But the probation provides the meat of Prasad’s punishment.

...

Prasad has never been disciplined by the Board of Medicine previously, but state records show some insurance payouts to patients of $250,000 in 2017 to the estate of a patient, who alleged a mistake caused a year-long delay in diagnosing colon cancer; $115,000 in 2008 to a patient who suffered “a spontaneous perforation of a diverticula in the third portion of the duodenum” and died after a long hospital stay; and $250,000 in 2004 to a patient who “sustained a colon perforation following the colonoscopy.”

Prasad’s current problems started on June 5, 2023, at the Ambulatory Surgery Center, 4500 E. Fletcher Ave. in the Tampa area.

According to the Florida Department of Health administrative complaint, Prasad uses hearing aids, but wasn’t wearing them during the two colonoscopies he was in charge of that day.

“During one or both procedures, the surgical team was unable to effectively communicate” with Prasad, the complaint said.

During the first colonoscopy, the complaint said, Prasad “improperly delegated” to a surgical tech, someone without a medical license, at least one of the following tasks: scope insertion, scope manipulation, manipulating the snare over polyps or tissue or removing polyps or tissue.

(During the second colonoscopy, the complaint said, Prasad “began inserting the scope before the patient was fully sedated. The patient began yelling.

Prasad “did not immediately stop the procedure when it became apparent that the patient was not fully sedated. [Prasad] failed to realize that the patient was not fully sedated due to [Prasad’s] failure to wear” his hearing aids.

That's gotta be a lot of power bricks and strips....

I bet it happens again tomorrow
