Story 1: If You Had a Time Machine, Would You Visit the Future or the Past?
If time travel was possible, what would you rather do? Visit the future after all this nonsense is over, or opt for simpler times and visit the past? An online survey asked 4,000 people, and the most popular choice across all age groups was . . . the past.
65% of people who answered said they’d rather travel back in time. Only 35% would rather see what the future holds.
Young people were much more likely to say they’d travel to the future though. 47% of people under 25 said they’d check out the future, compared to less than a third of people over 50.
Story 2: A Woman Just Discovered Adult Swim on Cartoon Network . . . And Is Offended by It
Cartoon Network has been offering mature content on its late-night Adult Swim block since 2001. But some KAREN out there just discovered it for the first time recently . . . and she wants to speak to a manager. Figuratively speaking.
She Tweeted, quote, “Cartoon Network after hours. They throw it in your face. They hope you aren’t the kind of parents who monitors what your kids watch and do.
“They’re busy conditioning them. What do you see here? I see witches abusing babies. This is not ok. This is not funny.”
After getting blasted on Twitter, she said, quote, “When the darkness is exposed, the demons start panicking.” Then she took her account private, which is kind of ironic.
Yesterday, Adult Swim responded by Tweeting out the “mature material” warning that runs before every show.

Story 3: A Drug Smuggler Is Caught After Using a Fake Name from the “John Wick” Movies
The prep work on this crime must have taken forever. Then it all fell apart because someone was too obsessed with Keanu Reeves . . .
Airport police in Italy recently intercepted a package sent from Colombia that was filled with coffee beans.
And it turned out around 500 of the beans had been cut in half . . . hollowed out . . . filled with COCAINE . . . and then taped back together. The tape was dark brown and hard to spot, so it probably would have made it past authorities.
But whoever sent the beans from Colombia used a fake name on the address. And the name they chose was “Santino D’Antonio” . . . a mafia boss from the movie, “John Wick: Chapter 2”.
One of the cops must have ALSO been a big “John Wick” fan, because they recognized the name . . . opened the beans . . . and saw the tape. Then they delivered the package to the address, and arrested a 50-year-old guy who came to pick it up.
They ended up finding 150 grams of cocaine inside the beans, or just over five ounces.
