Another one to file under 'Nope - didn't know that about Florida'...
Just weeks before the Civil War ended, a group of Confederate soldiers, cadets, and old men held off a Union advance in the Florida wilderness - and Tallahassee became the only Confederate state capital east of the Mississippi never captured by Union forces.
The Battle of Natural Bridge took place in March 1865, as Union forces attempted to advance inland from the Gulf Coast toward Tallahassee. Confederate defenders, including teenage cadets from the Florida Military and Collegiate Institute, held the natural limestone crossing point of the St. Marks River against repeated Union assaults. The Union forces eventually withdrew, and Tallahassee remained in Confederate hands until the war's end just weeks later.
It's a footnote in the broader Civil War story, but a significant one for Florida - and the Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park preserves the site today, quiet and largely unknown to most visitors. Have you ever heard of the Battle of Natural Bridge? Drop a comment and follow The Real Florida for more overlooked stories from our state's Civil War history.
Thanks to Jaime Mille and Life in Florida for the inspiration.

You don’t need a lip reader to know what Trent Thornton thought of his outing Wednesday. The Cubs pitcher yelled “Fuck” twice and angrily hurled his glove into the bench after exiting the 9-5 loss to the Brewers at Wrigley Field.
“He is upset on his way to that Cubs dugout,” Brewers announcer Brian Anderson said while the hot mic caught Thornton.
The odd thing about Thornton’s reaction is that he didn’t allow an earned run while pitching in relief of starter David Peterson in the third contest of this four-game set inside the Friendly Confines.
Thornton is in his first (and maybe only) season with the Cubs and is 5-5 with a 3.40 ERA across 44 games. Chicago is one game behind the Phillies for the top wild-card spot in the NL.
My guess is his 'esprit de corps' wasn't enough to hide his emotions...

WTF is that thing? It bit me!
The mysterious creature - which witnesses described as a gray fox or a fisher - has been reported attacking people in the Centerra Park area of Lebanon since Sunday, the Lebanon Police Department said Tuesday.
Police believe the “same wild animal” is behind all three attacks - and that its aggression could be a sign it has rabies. But because officers have not found the attacker, “we cannot confirm what type of animal is involved,” the department noted in an online warning.
The creature grabbed one man’s bag before launching after his feet and legs. The man then kicked the animal, which eventually scrambled under the truck.
The first attack was reported Sunday, with two more reported afterward. The latest happened Monday evening, according to Lebanon police.
Police suspected that a fisher cat was behind the first attack, which occurred near the Centerra Parkway. Never heard of one - didn't even know they existed...

And down goes Frazier! This match was a real squeaker! Things got hairy in the London Underground when two mice were spotted sparring like boxers on their hind legs — cracking up and creeping out commuters. The rowdy rodents are shown in a viral video chasing each other on the Oxford Circus subway platform, then hopping on their haunches and fighting fisticuffs-style.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was caught off guard when TMZ asked whether she would ever consider dating a conservative following reports that she and longtime fiancé Riley Roberts had split. The New York Democrat laughed before answering, “Um, I’d have to say… probably not.” When asked why, AOC said politics is connected to personal values for her and that being aligned on those values is “tremendously important.”
AOC did make clear she has “no foul” toward people who can put political differences aside and find love across the aisle. But her answer highlights just how deeply politics has worked its way into American relationships, where a person’s voting habits can now become a dating deal-breaker.
Democratic strategist James Carville famously went the opposite direction, marrying longtime Republican strategist Mary Matalin despite their very different politics. Carville has previously criticized younger progressives for allowing politics to dominate too much of their personal lives. His advice was essentially to drop the political superiority and become more pragmatic - pointing to his own decades-long marriage as evidence that Republicans and Democrats can somehow survive under the same roof. In an America already divided enough by politics, maybe being able to disagree without hating each other isn’t such a terrible idea, but it is hard to actually pull off because most Libs are jerkoffs. Juss' sayin'...

The brazen theft of an entire truckload of Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBRs) has taken another wild turn, with the beer giant's CEO personally calling out the thieves and putting a reward on the table to get the stolen haul back.
"Someone had the balls to steal it," Pabst Brewing Company CEO Greig DeBow said in a video posted to TikTok. "I don't know. Kudos to them, perhaps. I'm sure they look cool with a garage full of PBRs," he said. "That's actually not cool, though. But we want it back."
(Side note - Pabst Brewing Company is offering a $20,000 reward
for info about who's got the stolen beer)

I really do have to admit that I'm truly impressed
by some of this AI shit.
I asked it to color this cartoon and got this:

President Donald Trump is officially appearing on a new U.S. $1 coin as America celebrates its 250th birthday. The U.S. Mint begins selling rolls and bags of the gold-colored 2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $1 Coin at noon Eastern on September 2. The coins are legal tender and feature Trump’s portrait alongside the words “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the anniversary dates “1776 ~ 2026.”
The standard coins are available in rolls of 25 for $61 or bags of 100 for $154.50, with an initial household purchase limit. Although they carry a $1 face value and can legally be spent, the Mint is clearly positioning the special anniversary dollars as collectibles.
