Lifeguards save young boy, 5 years old, as he's pulled unconscious from ocean
Another dramatic rescue of a young life has taken place this summer as strong ocean waves and powerful tides continue to prove challenging for vacationers and travelers.
Two lifeguards at Silver Beach in Volusia County, Florida, are being credited with lifesaving action on July 30.
Lifeguard Dempsey Manhart was just about to take his lunch break, he said, when the family of a young child flagged him down, frantically waving for help, as FOX 35 Orlando reported.
CALIFORNIA LIFEGUARD SPEAKS OUT ON HEARTSTOPPING OCEAN RESCUE: ‘I LOVE WHAT I DO’
The boy was unconscious and was being held in the arms of a family member, Manhart recalled.
He began helping to bring the boy in from the water when his co-lifeguard, Mackenzie Malone, arrived beside him and checked the boy’s pulse — at which point the lifeguards immediately began CPR on the child.
Malone, who's been working as a lifeguard for her fourth summer, told FOX 35 this was the first time she experienced saving a child from drowning.
"We’re always expecting anything," she said. "We’re always prepared. We always make sure that we know what to do no matter what the scenario is."

She said the moment her co-lifeguard shouted to her that he was going on a rescue, "I knew that it was going to be serious."
Then everything kicked up a notch.
"The moment I saw that [the child] was unconscious, that he had a wound on his head … I knew that it was going to be something big."
The duo began performing CPR on the child.
In short order, he began breathing on his own again.
Malone later said her lifeguarding and life-saving training kicked in.
"Thankfully, it ended up in a positive direction," she told FOX 35. "I’m just very grateful that [with] everything we followed, it worked out and that [the boy] actually is able to have a life and come home to a family."

The lifeguards said they hope the rescue of the child provides a reminder for beachgoers to swim near staffed lifeguard towers — where trained responders can provide immediate assistance in an emergency.
"Heroes!! I am grateful to learn just how well-trained beach lifeguards are," wrote a Facebook user about the Florida beach rescue.
Volusia County is about 50 miles northeast of Orlando, in the east-central region of Florida.
"God bless their strength," wrote another person.

Fox News Digital previously reported that Los Angeles County lifeguards performed nearly 2,000 ocean rescues during a single weekend this summer as elevated surf and dangerous rip currents swept Southern California beaches.
Officials have encouraged visitors to speak with lifeguards about ocean conditions before entering the water.
Swimmers caught in a rip current are advised not to fight it.
Instead, they should remain calm, swim parallel to the shoreline until they escape the current, then angle back toward shore, according to the National Weather Service.
Those who cannot escape should float or tread water and signal for help.

Princess Margaret, Lord Snowdon's country retreat on the market for first time in history at $5.3 million
Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, better known as Lord Snowdon's former country retreat, is on the market for the first time in the home's history.
Known as The Old House, the home, which was gifted to Lord Snowdon by his uncle, designer Oliver Messel, prior to his marriage to Princess Margaret, is listed with Blue Book Agency for about $5.3 million.
Originally built in 1481, the cottage in West Sussex came into the possession of the Messel family in 1890 and was passed down for generations before Oliver gifted it to the royal couple.
Upon receiving the 5,750-square-foot home on the 5.52-acre property, Lord Snowdon transformed the dilapidated home into a private retreat away from the public, often hosting many famous faces, including actor Peter Sellers, ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn, Bianca Jagger, financier Sir Evelyn de Rothschild and more.
PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE’S $3 MILLION FROGMORE MAKEOVER COULD SOON BE ERASED: EXPERTS
"What Lord Snowdon created here was not simply a private home but an extraordinary creative retreat," Director at Blue Book Agency, Theo James-Wright said. "This was a place where royalty mixed with artists, actors, writers and designers, where some of the most influential figures of the twentieth century gathered behind closed doors. Very few houses can genuinely claim to have witnessed such a remarkable chapter of British cultural history."
The rich history surrounding this house inspired an episode in season three of the popular Netflix series, "The Crown."
Some of the elements Snowdon brought to the home include a redesigned kitchen, a balcony salvaged from Ascot Racecourse's Royal Box during refurbishment works, a lake he created and a "time capsule of royal, cultural and family life" made up of newspaper clippings detailing royal scandals and major events, put together by Snowdon himself.
The estate features a main house with six bedrooms, as well as a pool house which can be used as a guest suite. In addition, the grounds include a garden office, library, tractor shed and other amenities.
While this is the first time the home has been put on the market publicly, Snowdon did sell it privately in 2003, and the current owners purchased it off-market in 2005.

"The fact that this is the first time the property has ever been publicly offered for sale makes this a genuinely rare moment," James-Wright said. "Opportunities to acquire houses with this level of provenance, architectural significance and cultural importance simply do not come along very often."
Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon first met in 1958, and their friendship quickly turned into a romance, with the palace announcing their engagement in February 1960.
They were married just a few months later in May 1960 at Westminster Abbey. Their wedding was the first royal wedding to be televised, attracting an estimated 300 million viewers worldwide.

Over the course of their marriage, the couple welcomed two children: their son David Armstrong-Jones in November 1961, and their daughter Lady Sarah Chatto in May 1964.
They were married for 16 years before announcing their separation in March 1976, later finalizing their divorce in July 1978. Despite ending their marriage, the two are said to have remained good friends in the following years.
Following their divorce, Lord Snowdon married Lucy Lindsay-Hogg in 1978, while Princess Margaret never remarried.
Princess Margaret died in February 2002 at the age of 71 due to a stroke, after her health began to decline in the 1990s. Lord Snowdon died in January 2017 at the age of 86.

Why the Orioles at +118 could be the play against Zack Wheeler and the struggling Phillies
Well, the trade market is finally coming to a simmer. Perhaps we can call it a boil after yesterday’s blockbuster. We had two major pitchers traded to teams yesterday, with Luis Castillo (in a down year) going from the Mariners to the White Sox, and, of course, Tarik Skubal heading to the Dodgers.
Maybe we should just call the baseball season now and give them their third straight trophy. Two other teams to keep an eye on take each other on today as the Phillies and Orioles square off.
The Philadelphia Phillies are floundering quite a bit. This has been a unique season where we saw them fire their manager after a few weeks of poor play to start the year. That was a move that probably should’ve been done in the offseason anyway. Then they were arguably the best team in baseball for a month or two. Now, they are just five games above .500 and likely going to be wrapped up in a wild card race for the remainder of the season.
The Phillies don’t have a ton of trade resources, but they also don’t need much more than maybe another bat and a better back-end starter. Their front of the rotation is solid with Zack Wheeler and Christopher Sanchez. Wheeler is 10-2 for the season with a 2.53 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP, one of the best pitchers in the game. He did have a couple of tough starts in July, but he also had three quality outings. The Orioles are hitting .250 against Wheeler in 68 at-bats.
The Baltimore Orioles are also struggling, but they’ve pretty much been the same for the entire year. They are three games under .500, but they’ve never seemed to be a team that was going very far.
The thing is, the Orioles have the talent, but some years it just doesn’t click. It appears to be that type of season for Baltimore. Gunner Henderson isn’t having a great season with a .220 average, but he can’t be the sole person to blame for all of this.
I’d point to the pitching and their rotation, as they are really not a very deep squad. They have some good arms, and their bullpen has been much better lately, but they don’t really have a lock-down starter. Maybe the closest is today’s starter, Kyle Bradish. I took him in his last outing, and it was a disaster.
The Tigers jumped on him for 10 hits and five earned runs over 4.2 innings. Phillies hitters have struggled against him over 32 at-bats with a .188 batting average.
Maybe I'm foolish to do this, but I'm going to go against Wheeler. The Orioles are playing slightly better baseball than the Phillies. They both need this game to help with some momentum and to win the series. Wheeler isn't likely to give up a ton of runs, but I think Bradish will bounce back in this outing. The money has come in on the Phillies a bit, but I think that is mostly people just looking at Wheeler and not the full pitcher. Give me the Orioles at +118.

Kelsey Plum heads to Phoenix Mercury in blockbuster deal hours before WNBA trade deadline
Kelsey Plum is headed to Phoenix.
The Los Angeles Sparks traded the five-time All-Star guard to the Phoenix Mercury late Saturday night in exchange for Monique Akoa Makani, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick.
CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE
The blockbuster deal came just hours before Sunday afternoon’s WNBA trade deadline and sent the biggest available name on the market to a Mercury team trying to make another postseason run.
Plum, a two-time WNBA champion, has not played since June 21 because of a lower left leg injury. She was expected to return Sunday against the Portland Fire on a minutes restriction, though it is not yet clear whether she will be available when Phoenix visits the Chicago Sky on Monday.
The 31-year-old was putting together one of the best statistical seasons of her career before the injury. Plum is averaging 23.9 points and 6.4 assists through 12 games — both career highs — and led the league in scoring earlier this season.
Her time in Los Angeles lasted only a season and a half.

The Sparks acquired Plum before the 2025 season in exchange for the No. 2 overall pick, hoping the veteran guard could help accelerate a rebuild centered around Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson. Seattle eventually used that selection on Dominique Malonga, who became an All-Star in her second season.
But the gamble never produced the turnaround Los Angeles envisioned.
The Sparks missed the playoffs in 2025 and currently sit at 10-17 after losing six straight games. They have gone just 2-9 during Plum’s latest absence and are in danger of missing the postseason for a sixth consecutive year.
MERCURY'S NOW-DELETED SOCIAL MEDIA POST MOCKING CAITLIN CLARK DRAWS SCRUTINY AFTER STAR'S INJURY
Los Angeles also parted ways with general manager Raegan Pebley in July, leaving assistant general managers Zach Knowlton and Nate Nielsen in charge on an interim basis.
Plum was set to become a free agent after the season and reportedly did not plan to re-sign with the Sparks, making her the league’s most prominent trade candidate ahead of the deadline. The New York Liberty and Atlanta Dream had also shown interest.
Instead, she lands with a Phoenix team that appears determined to keep pushing forward despite its own disappointing record. The Mercury are 11-19 and six games behind the eighth-place Liberty for the final playoff spot.
So Plum has her work cut out for her.
She should immediately provide Phoenix with another proven scorer, secondary playmaker and championship-tested guard. She could also take some of the offensive burden away from Alyssa Thomas, who leads the Mercury with 8.3 assists per game.
The move marks only the fourth time in WNBA history that an All-Star has been traded during the season.
Rubio warns Cuba has infiltrated US with spies, calls communist regime an 'espionage superpower'
Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised concerns about Cuba’s ability to infiltrate and influence top-level U.S. institutions, detailing what he described as a dangerous Cuban spy network that is undermining American interests.
"A failed state 90 miles from our shores that happens to be aligned with adversaries to the United States is a national security threat to our country," he told "My View with Lara Trump" on Saturday.
His comments follow the State Department’s recent release of a 100-page report detailing Cuba’s influence operations in the U.S., linking the nation to Antifa and radical activism while labeling it the "capital of 21st-century communism."
"They actually are an influence and espionage superpower," Rubio said. "If you look at the history of espionage in the United States, Cuba is the only country that consistently has implanted and embedded spies in our system without even paying them," he said.
"We had… a U.S. ambassador, who ended up being a Cuban spy and was recently convicted," he continued. "We've had them penetrate the highest levels of Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)."
Former U.S. ambassador and national security official Manuel Rocha pleaded guilty to and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for acting as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.
Rubio mentioned Ana Belén Montes, a DIA analyst who was found passing American secrets to Cuba, represents one of the "single biggest intelligence failures" and potentially the most serious penetration in U.S. history.
The secretary also told Fox News that Cuba employs networks of protesters across the country to advocate for different causes in an effort to pressure U.S. lawmakers.
The secretary claimed that pro-Hamas, anti-ICE and pro-Maduro protests are all linked to the same network of Cuban-hired protesters.
"There's nothing organic about it. It is funded, it is organized and Cuba is a part of that network and in some cases a critical part of the network," Rubio said.
US BASES, ICE FACILITIES TARGETED IN CUBA-LINKED 24-HOUR ACTIVIST MOBILIZATION PLAN
"And it's a network they will weaponize against us," he continued. "And they talk about it openly, about how they will use that network to pressure American policymakers."
Rubio also accused Cuba of running dangerous influence campaigns throughout Latin America.
"If you look all throughout Latin America, every communist left-wing insurgency that's destabilized governments across the region, every single one of them over the last 40, 50 years has found its support, its help, in many cases, its birth, from a Cuban influence operation," the secretary said.
Critics of the State Department’s report suggest the report chronicling how Cuba poses a threat to the United States is a scare tactic to potentially justify U.S. military action against the country.
Rubio dismissed Americans who sympathize with Cuba’s one-party communist republic led by President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
"I know there are plenty of people in American academia and, frankly, in American press that sympathize with the Cuban regime and have for a very long time," he said. "Part of it is motivated by their anti-Americanism and part of it motivated by ideological affinity."
"But it doesn't mean we can ignore this threat," he warned.
GOP Rep Max Miller pushes back against abuse allegations: ‘I have nothing to hide’
Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, went live on X Sunday morning, denying allegations from his ex-wife that he abused her and their daughter.
"I'm not getting out of this race, and I'm winning in November," Miller said at the end of an X livestream statement with pictures of his family in the background.
Miller said his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, has documented mental health circumstances that might have led to her allegations after their public divorce.
"They frame me as an abuser," Miller said, saying there is "no evidence" against him.
"No court or agency has even substantiated any allegation against me," he added. "Every single one of these allegations were already investigated."
Miller released troves of evidence via Dropbox that he says undermines the allegations against him.
"I have nothing to hide," he said.
Faced with a narrow path to winning control of the U.S. House, Democrats are seeing fresh opportunity in a northeast Ohio congressional seat where the Republican incumbent is facing mounting pressure over allegations that he abused his ex-wife and daughter in a bitter and drawn-out dispute with his former spouse.
Allegations against Miller, a White House adviser during President Donald Trump's first term, have been public for years but have recently drawn increased media scrutiny amid an escalating legal back-and-forth with his ex-wife. That has Democrats sensing Miller could be vulnerable in a district he won two years ago with just over 51% of the vote.
Over the past week, they have called for Miller to resign, requested a congressional ethics investigation and suggested more help could be directed in the fall toward his Democratic opponent, union ironworker Brian Poindexter. Miller has denied the abuse allegations and filed defamation lawsuits against his ex-wife and a second accuser.

Buffalo Bills moved on from Sean McDermott but their offseason moves won't be enough for a title
At what point do you give up on a team? When do you say "enough is enough" and make the decision to just believe it won’t happen for a squad?
I’m at that point personally, as I can’t support the Buffalo Bills winning a Super Bowl anymore. Last season had virtually everything break correctly for them, and they couldn’t get it done, so why do we think they will this year?
As mentioned, they didn’t win the Super Bowl, and they actually lost a playoff game in yet another heartbreaking fashion. The regular season was… odd. They started with four straight wins and looked dominant. They came back in a thriller to open the year and win 41-40 over the Ravens. Then they lost back-to-back weeks to the Patriots (who turned out to be very good) and the terrible Falcons. Their other losses came against the Dolphins, Texans, and Eagles. The Dolphins and Falcons were the only two-score losses they had during the year. They struggled to beat the Jaguars, then lost in overtime to the Broncos.
JOSH ALLEN RECALLS HIS ROLE IN BILLS' COACHING SEARCH, DETAILS JOE BRADY’S APPROACH TO NEW ROLE
I think the team also said they’ve had enough as they finally moved on from Sean McDermott. I don’t think you can really blame McDermott for everything, but sometimes you do need to switch it up and get rid of the coach. They hired Joe Brady, who is more offense-focused, and I’m not sure that was their major problem. They added DJ Moore to the team, and he might have his best seasons behind him. They added another guy who might have his best behind him in Bradley Chubb as well.
JOSH ALLEN SAYS HE WOULD BE 'VERY HONORED' TO PLAY FOR TEAM USA IN FLAG FOOTBALL AT 2028 OLYMPICS
A team that probably could use help on defense doesn’t seem to have done much to address the issue. The best defense for the team is keeping Josh Allen on the field, I guess. Allen is still elite and will keep the Bills relevant no matter what the rest of their unit looks like. It just feels like this team is being pieced together with randomness instead of a full plan. I want to see them start making moves that will push them ahead, not just keep them winning double-digits and relying on luck and Allen’s magic in the postseason.
I think the Patriots take a bit of a step back, as mentioned, but I really don’t see that happening with Allen under center for the Bills. They still have a tough schedule, but 10 wins does feel like the floor for this team every year, right? They’ve had 11 wins or more every year since 2020. I don’t see that changing here. I think a fun bet for them this year is over 4.5 division wins. I think they split with the Patriots, and they should sweep the Jets and Dolphins which gives you five wins. Since 2020, they have gotten five or more division wins three times. It is +115, so I like that look for them as well.

'Remember the Titans' star Ethan Suplee issues warning about weight loss drug craze
Ethan Suplee pumped the brakes on the GLP-1 craze, warning that the wildly popular weight-loss drugs aren't the miracle fix many people believe they are.
As millions of Americans continue turning to blockbuster GLP-1 medications, Suplee said the drugs are only one piece of the puzzle. Drawing from his own decades-long weight-loss journey, the actor said sustainable success comes from building healthier habits instead of relying on medication alone.
Suplee has been candid about his decades-long battle with obesity. The "Remember the Titans" actor weighed roughly 500 pounds at his heaviest and ultimately lost around 300 pounds through years of diet and lifestyle changes. He has also undergone multiple skin-removal surgeries and now hosts weekly discussions on his show, "LifeLONG with Ethan Suplee," about long-term weight management.
The 50-year-old actor started dieting at just five years old and later, by his own volition, at age 24. "And I kind of spun my wheels for 15 years on these yo-yo diets simply because I didn't communicate," Suplee told Fox News Digital. "And when I didn't communicate to anyone else, I didn't actually figure out what I really wanted."
After decades of trial and error, Suplee said his own experience taught him there isn't a shortcut to lasting weight loss. While he acknowledged the weight-loss drugs can be an effective tool, he argued they aren't a replacement for building healthier habits.
"As a kid, I wanted a magical diet drug so badly. And now we have what is a magical diet drug," he said. "I think, unfortunately, it's also not a one-stop shop. I think you can hop on a GLP-1 and experience weight loss. You can see the scale go down week over week for a long time without having to do anything else."
"... I think when people imagine their ideal — I don't think the GLP-1s get anyone to their ideal."
'REMEMBER THE TITANS' STAR ETHAN SUPLEE SHOWS OFF MUSCLES AFTER DRASTIC WEIGHT LOSS TRANSFORMATION
Suplee emphasized that the medications can dramatically improve people's health and said he wouldn't discourage anyone from using them.
"By the way, a small amount of weight loss provides a huge health benefit," he added. "So if you're just going into it, going like, 'I just want to be healthier. Let me hop on this GLP-1 agonist and improve my health.' Bravo to you. You're going to do that ... I'm not criticizing those people."
But Suplee said the conversation becomes more nuanced for people hoping to reach an "ideal" weight or transform their physique.
"I think for those people, just hopping on a GLP-1 is not enough," Suplee added. "I think it also will require some resistance training to preserve lean tissue ... maybe increase protein a bit ... I just think [they] aren't a one-stop shop."

The "My Name is Earl" star said his own experience ultimately shaped a simple philosophy: There's no single answer when it comes to long-term weight loss. He said lasting success comes from addressing the many factors that influence a person's health and relationship with food.
"I don't think it's ever going to be one thing," Suplee explained. "I think it is partially the amount of food you're consuming, partially the types of food you're consuming, partially how sedentary you are, and partially your emotional and potentially mental behavior and relationship with food."
"There's an ecosystem to everybody's life."
It's a lesson Suplee said became even clearer after he reached his goal weight.
"I found maintaining weight loss to be a hell of a lot harder and more complicated than losing weight," he admitted.
Suplee said he still grapples with the same cravings he experienced before losing roughly 300 pounds.
"If I see an advertisement for McDonald's, I want McDonald's," he said. "I'm hungry. This is true today as it was 20 years ago."

He was quick to clarify that long-term weight maintenance isn't about completely cutting out fast food, including McDonald's.
"But it's not eating it emotionally, not eating it to cure my anxiety, not eating it out of compulsion, and then not overeating it," Suplee added. "Like, these are all the factors I have to deal with to maintain my weight."
When asked what has allowed him to maintain his weight loss over the years, Suplee pointed to a less obvious factor: learning to be honest with himself by opening up to others.
"I found I could become more honest with myself by opening up and being honest with other people," Suplee said. "And I think that really made a huge difference in my ability to maintain this weight loss as long as I have."
Ancient Book of Revelation city gives up stunning secret buried for 1,500 years
An ancient mosaic was recently revealed in a Turkish city long known for being one of the seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
The artwork was uncovered in the ancient city of Smyrna, an archaeological site in modern-day İzmir, Türkiye, according to Turkish state news outlet Anadolu Agency (AA).
Smyrna — along with Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea — is one of the seven churches of Asia Minor addressed by Jesus in the Book of Revelation.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH ANCIENT TREASURE CACHE AT BIBLICAL CITY CONNECTED TO GENESIS
Revelation 2:8 states: "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again."
The mosaic was found during infrastructure work at the archaeological site. It dates to between the fourth and sixth centuries A.D., according to officials, and measures roughly 16.4 by 8.2 feet.
Photos show archaeologists brushing away centuries of dirt to reveal the remarkably preserved 1,500-year-old mosaic and its geometric and floral motifs.
Excavation director Akın Ersoy said the mosaic was first found last year, but archaeologists did not fully excavate the artwork until this year, according to AA.
LOST SERMONS FROM ONE OF CHRISTIANITY'S GREATEST SAINTS DISCOVERED AFTER 1,600 YEARS
"In connection with this, we also found traces of the walls that defined the space," said Ersoy.
"We believe that a structure was built over the mosaic during the Ottoman period in the 19th century, and that the new layout was created while avoiding damage to the mosaic floor as much as possible."
The most striking motif is the heart-shaped ivy leaf, which is made of red tesserae, or mosaic tiles.
Though modern people see the heart as a symbol of love, Ersoy said the mosaic was created long before the symbol came to represent romance.

"It was not very clear in the early periods that the heart represented affection and love. We see the heart emerge as a symbol of love in paintings during the Renaissance," he said.
Rather, Ersoy said the heart-shaped ivy leaf was intended to symbolize loyalty.

"The ivy leaf clings to trees and walls," he said. "It came to symbolize loyalty and has been used from antiquity through the centuries."
Archaeologists also uncovered bags, cooking pots and earthenware vessels dating to the late Ottoman Empire and the early years of the Turkish Republic, suggesting the space was reused roughly 1,500 years after the mosaic was laid.

"We can say that the people of that period consciously protected it because there is very little damage," the archaeologist said.
"The space was brought back to life after 1,500 years."
The latest discovery is one of several recent archaeological finds in cities mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
Last summer, archaeologists uncovered a massive Roman council hall in Laodicea, which featured carvings linked to early Christian worship.
Months later, archaeologists announced the discovery of a Roman-era marble bathtub and other ancient artifacts in Ephesus.

A viral video showing a man riding a jet ski then passing out performing a stunt called a "nose ride" looks like AI. That's the first thing I thought when I watched it.
Not because Dillan Stapler, a 32-year-old jet ski influencer, passed out on his jet ski, but because he then slams into a dock and someone ends up being launched between two of the posts on the dock.
His buddy riding alongside him and recording it all seems to think he's pretending to be asleep at first. He starts to get concerned about Dillan when his warnings are ignored.
Here's the viral footage of the crash and his rescue after he was sent flying through the air before landing in the water.
According to Dillan, this is a move he's done a million times and he's not sure what went wrong this time. He doesn’t remember any of it.
His follow-up on the apparent real accident shows the damage the crash into the dock did to his jet ski. He explains he has some repairs to pay for and passing along some safety tips to all the weekend warriors out there.
Probably the most important tip was to not try the stunts he and his pals perform. Jet ski stunts go sideways, even for the professionals.

Thanks for the support. I have to be honest. It is a lot of work scouting "Insta talent." But it's work I feel is important work. Work that is a part of what helped build Screencaps into the juggernaut it has become over the years.
