ποΈ Hey, did you know that on this day, August 4th, back in 1901, Louis Armstrong was born? Yep, that's right! This date marks the birth of one of the most influential figures in jazz history.

ππ΅οΈββοΈ Caught Red-Handed: Two US Navy Sailors Busted for Alleged Espionage for China
This is some serious James Bond stuff happening right here in the US. Two Navy sailors - Jinchao Wei, 22, and Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26 - were nabbed recently on charges of allegedly selling sensitive military info to China. Mr. Wei, a fresh US citizen, was apparently on the payroll of a Chinese agent who paid him big bucks for photos, videos, technical manuals, and blueprints of the amphibious assault ship USS Essex, where Wei served. To spice things up even more, he also allegedly spilled the beans about US Marines on a maritime training exercise.
Not to be left behind, Mr. Zhao, stationed at Naval Base Ventura County, was also allegedly on the take, getting paid around $15,000 for visuals and schematics of a radar system from a military base in Japan. China, of course, claims no knowledge of this high-octane cloak-and-dagger game. As things stand, if they're convicted, Wei might be looking at a life sentence, while Zhao could face a max of 20 years behind bars. It's a sobering reminder that sometimes, truth can be stranger (and scarier) than fiction. π’π (Source)
ππ In a Heroic Twist: 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' Creator Kazuki Takahashi Dies While Saving Drowning Snorkelers
Source: goodnewsnetwork
Let's talk about a true-life hero, who wasn't just a legend in the world of anime but also in real life. Kazuki Takahashi, the mastermind behind 'Yu-Gi-Oh!', tragically passed away in a drowning incident while trying to save a couple of snorkelers off Okinawa Island. The anime world is reeling from the loss, but also tipping its hat to Takahashi for his final act of bravery that saved an 11-year-old girl, her mom, and a U.S. soldier.
As per the accounts of fellow rescuer, U.S. Army Major Robert Bourgeau, Takahashi jumped into the treacherous waters when he saw people in distress. While Bourgeau was able to rescue the girl and guide the soldier to safer waters, Takahashi's body was later found on a beach, the unforgiving currents proving too much for the 60-year-old. The creator of the magical card game and one of the most popular anime series in history, Takahashi will be remembered not just for his iconic work but also for his courage and selflessness. In the words of a fan on Twitter, "We will always remember him with every single card we play, trade or collect. R.I.P King of Games." ππ (Source)
π±π Parents in India Allegedly Sell Baby for an iPhone 14 and IG Fame, Lands in Jail
So this is about a jaw-dropping incident from West Bengal, India that you wouldn't believe. A couple named Jaydev and Sathi Ghosh apparently sold their 8-month-old kid to buy an iPhone 14, all for making some Instagram reels while traveling around the state. Pretty messed up, right? People were scratching their heads when they saw the duo, known for their humble income, flashing their swanky new iPhone and touring around without a care in the world. But it didn't take Sherlock Holmes to notice that their baby boy had vanished around the same time.
The curious neighbours tipped off the police, and during the investigation, mom Sathi spilled the beans about selling their little one to fund their new iPhone and travel adventures. And as if that wasn't stomach-churning enough, it seems they also tried to sell their 7-year-old daughter, but thank heavens, they didn't succeed. The police managed to locate the baby safe and sound with a woman named Priyanka Ghosh. All the adults involved are now facing human trafficking charges. Honestly, when you think you've seen it all, something like this pops up and leaves you speechless.π€―π± (Source)
