‘Avengers’ star Jeremy Renner says he broke 30 bones in snowplow accident
CNN
—
“Avengers” star Jeremy Renner says he broke more than 30 bones in the New Year’s Day snowplow accident that sent him to the hospital for more than two weeks.
Renner, who plays superhero archer Hawkeye in the Marvel movie and TV “Universe,” posted a photo on Instagram with a caption that read:
“Morning workouts, resolutions all changed this particular new years …. Spawned from tragedy for my entire family, and quickly focused into uniting actionable love ❤️ I want to thank EVERYONE for their messages and thoughtfulness for my family and I …. Much love and appreciation to you all. These 30 plus broken bones will mend , grow stronger, just like the love and bond with family and friends deepens . Love and blessings to you all.”
Renner turned 52 in the hospital. He was injured by a snowplow while clearing a driveway near his Nevada home, leaving him with “blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries,” his publicist previously told CNN.
He underwent two surgeries and was treated in the intensive care unit.
Monday night, the “Mayor of Kingstown” star replied to a Twitter post from the show, writing, “Outside my brain fog in recovery, I was very excited to watch episode 201 with my family at home.”
A 911 call log obtained by CNN says Renner was “completely crushed under a large snowcat (vehicle)” and that he had “extreme (difficulty) breathing.” It goes on to read that, “the right side of his chest is collapsed – upper torso is crushed.”
Renner’s snowcat, an engine-powered machine used to clear snow, started to roll away while Renner was off the driver’s seat, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam previously said.
Ubisoft shows off Skull and Bones’ “narrative gameplay” in new devstream
Following this week’s announcement of yet another delay for Skull and Bones, Ubisoft has shared 30 minutes of new footage from its beleaguered pirate adventure, focusing on what it calls the game’s “narrative gameplay”.
It’s perhaps something of an unexpected place to return after a lengthy absence, given Ubisoft insisted Skull and Bones was “not a narrative-driven game” last summer, but it does at least give players a better idea of how the publisher is attempting to inject a bit of variety into the action.
As Ubisoft explained last year, Skull and Bones is overwhelmingly focused on sailing and combat, with players only able to disembark their ships and explore dry land at a limited number of locations, defined as outposts. Functionally, outposts serve as places players can trade, cash in contracts, pay off factions, and meet other players – but, as detailed in Ubisoft’s latest gameplay devstream, they’re also locations where they might find narrative content Ubisoft is calling “investigations”.
Investigations are a “way to tell a story through a series of steps”, and can be initiated by discovering messages in bottles, unearthing scraps of lost journals, or simply by talking to characters in the world, and will provide clues to finding a specific treasure.
The investigation Ubisoft chose to demo in its latest devstream told the tale of a brother and sister who both believed themselves to be the rightful heir to the throne in the coastal African region the sequence was set.
Rather than taking players on a grand, cinematic narrative adventure, investigations – whose story elements are relayed entirely through on-screen text and accompanying narration – are more of a simple framing device, guiding them through several standard seafaring activities. In this instance, players must first sail to the location where the brother is said to have absconded with the crown, whereupon they’re required to complete a single stage of a settlement plunder (a core mechanic of Skull and Bones, as we learned last year) to receive another message leading to a new location.
Upon arrival, it’s simply a case of parking up alongside a shipwreck and hitting a button to retrieve the next clue, which then points players to a final location – in this case, a port where they can disembark and locate some buried treasure, bringing the sequence to a close.
Each investigation, Ubisoft explains, will fill in a little more backstory of a key character in Skull and Bones’ lore, Captain Freeman, who was said to have taken part in the biggest heist ever seen in the world’s fiction. Ultimately, by piecing together clues, players might be able to find the location of Freeman’s missing treasure.
The full 30-minute livestream also discusses some of Skull and Bones’ other features, including shanties and the variations seen in different parts of the in-game world.
Ubisoft is yet to share a new release date for Skull and Bones following its most recent delay, but says it’ll have more news “very soon”.

Dog owners claim treats are making pups violently ill — and may have killed one pet
A dog food maker with a history of recalling contaminated products is being accused of sickening hundreds of pets — and the recent death of a beloved Pekingese, The Post has learned.
DreamBone’s line of chews, which are made by $3 billion conglomerate Spectrum Brands Holdings, has come under fire from pet owners on message boards and from food and safety watchdogs.
One grieving owner, Liz Brannen, blames DreamBone Twists for causing her Pekingese, Boogie, to suffer an agonizing death on Dec. 11.
Boogie started vomiting and having bloody diarrhea shortly after eating the treat. Within 24 hours she was gone, the tearful owner told The Post.
“She was screaming at the end and in such pain, but she was perfectly normal the day before,” Brannen said. “It really bothers me that a company would sell something that can kill dogs.”
The Bellville, Texas, resident quickly learned that she’s not the only heartbroken pet owner with a beef against DreamBone chews, which are sold by major retailers including Walmart, Target and Chewy.
Complaints about DreamBone span nearly a decade, but they began to spike over the past several months on Safelyhq.com, a web site that tracks consumer health and safety issues.
This year alone, there have been 70 DreamBone complaints on the site, nearly twice as many as in 2021, with most pouring in since October.
“The recent surge in reports mentioning DreamBone dog treats is especially concerning to us,” Safetyhq’s founder Patrick Quade told The Post. “It is a huge outlier in our data, in terms of the number of reports and the severity of harm caused.”
The Food and Drug Administration is also fielding reports from concerned pet owners, the agency told The Post.
“The FDA has received several dozen complaints associated with DreamBone,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “We are continuing to look into these complaints, but we can’t respond to each individual case.”
Last year, the agency sent a warning letter to Midwestern Pet Foods after the company’s product was linked to 130 dog deaths and hundreds of sick dogs. And in 2020, the agency recalled pet food from another brand made by Midwestern Pet Foods, called Sportmix, after at least 28 dogs died from products with high levels of toxic mold. Spectrum Brands is not affiliated with Midwestern Pet Foods.
DreamBone is mentioned in hundreds of posts on web sites, including Amazon, blogs and social media platforms like Reddit from distraught customers whose dogs allegedly became sick or died after being given the treat.
The Middletown, Wis.-based company owns such disparate brands as Cutter bug repellent, Remington grooming products and Black + Decker appliances, but the majority of its product recalls are within its pet care division.
Publicly held Spectrum Brands did not respond to numerous emails and calls to senior executives.
Spectrum Brands recalled rawhide dog chew products in 2017 after it discovered that a supplier in Brazil had been using an “ammonium compound” chemical that is “approved for cleaning food processing equipment” in its rawhide products, according to the company’s website.
Spectrum acknowledged that dogs may experience “gastric irritation, including diarrhea and vomiting” after eating the raw hides – including such brands as Digest-eeze and Healthy Hide – and may need treatment by a veterinarian “depending on the severity.”
The company acquired the troubled DreamBone brand in 2017 from New Jersey-based Petmatrix. The chews are manufactured abroad in Vietnam, Mexico and China and are marketed as “rawhide free” and “highly digestible.”
A year before the acquisition, Petmatrix was slapped with a proposed class-action lawsuit from a dog owner whose pooch needed surgery after he ate a DreamBone. The complaint alleged that its ingredients were “indigestible” and included a “large amount” of Soribtol, which is “widely characterized and classified, including by the FDA, as an indigestible sugar alcohol, and is used as a laxative.”
After the plaintiff’s dog, Maxie, had been given a DreamBone he began vomiting and had “bloody discharge from his rectum,” according to the complaint. Maxie underwent surgery to remove “a large piece of a dog chew, which matched the description of the DreamBone,” the complaint states.
The veterinarian said “Maxie would have died,” if not for the surgery, according to the lawsuit, which was eventually settled, court filings show.
Other pet owners have also considered initiating legal proceedings, including Stacy Carlyle of Atlanta, whose Bijon-Shih Tzu mix, Bella, died in September 2020.
“The vet found pieces of DreamBone in her digestive tract,” Carlyle told The Post. “It wouldn’t dissolve.”
Spectrum offered to settle, “giving me and [another dog owner who was part of the proposed litigation] about $5,000 a piece” Carlyle said. But she rebuffed the offer and instead took her story to a local news station to warn other pet owners.
Spectrum Brands issued a statement at the time to the news station: “The health and safety of all dogs who enjoy our DreamBone products is our highest priority. We believe there is no merit to these allegations and we stand behind the quality and safety of our DreamBone products.”
Logan Rothstein, who believes his 8-year-old Chihuahua, Hercules, died in 2019 because of DreamBone, has waged a three-year campaign – reaching out the to FDA, retailers and the media – to raise awareness about the number of complaints against DreamBone.
“I don’t think Spectrum makes a consistently bad product,” Rothstein said. But he believes because the product is made overseas that it likely has “very little quality control.”
A 120 million-year-old dinosaur fossil with the bones of its final snack still inside of it reveals it enjoyed eating our ancestors
-
Paleontologist Hans Larsson found a small mammal foot in the rib of a dinosaur fossil.
-
The reptile was carnivorous and bird-like, according to McGill University.
-
It’s one of only 21 dinosaur fossils ever found with its food inside of it.
The key to a small, four-winged dinosaur species’ survival was not being fussy about what it ate, the examination of a rare fossil revealed.
Paleontologist Hans Larsson, a professor at McGill University, was the first to notice a small mammal foot lodged in between the bones of a fossilized Microraptor, a carnivorous dino with birdish wings. The discovery shows the dino ate a long list of animals, including mammals, fish, birds, and lizards, the university announced in a December 21 press release.
“These finds are the only solid evidence we have about the food consumption of these long-extinct animals – and they are exceptionally rare,” Larsson said in the release. The revelation that the animal was an “opportunistic” eater “puts a new perspective on how ancient ecosystems may have worked,” he added.
Only 20 other fossils have been found with the fossilized bones of their meals inside, according to McGill, and this is the first time a fossil has shown that any dinosaur ate mammals, the Economic Times reported.
Microraptor fossils were first discovered in the early 2000s in Liaoning, China, located in the northeast part of the country along the Yellow Sea. Scientists have speculated that the species likely died out because it had four wings, and the two additional wings created drag when it moved.
Its ability to make a snack out of all kinds of animals may not have been enough for make up for two too many wings.

Shocked couple discovers ‘alien hand’ on beach: ‘Looks like ET’s bones!’
Life’s a beach — or is it a boneyard?
A skeletal hand appendage washed up in Brazil this week — and a horrified couple was shore it was “alien bones.”
Leticia Gomes Santiago and her boyfriend Devanir Souza were taking a romantic stroll on the beach when they happened upon it.
The pair filmed the hand — found in the sands of Ilha Comprida, São Paulo State, Brazil — next to Santiago’s flip flop as a size reference, noting how “big” it was.
“We think it is not human because of the size and amount of bones,” Santiago said. “What could it possibly be?”
It could have belonged to some sort of aquatic mammal, or, they mused, something not of this world. So, of course Santiago sought out social media experts to discover the truth.
“We don’t know what animal it is, and if it’s an alien, even worse,” she posted to her followers.
One commenter proceeded to joke that it could be the beloved extraterrestrial from Steven Spielberg’s beloved 1982 film about a pint-sized alien, or perhaps it belonged to a creature from prehistoric times.
“Looks like ET’s hand,” one person quipped.
“[It’s a] mermaid hand!” argued another.
“Might as well be a dinosaur bone!” stated someone else.
“Take it to a biologist, because this isn’t normal,” one sane person advised — and that’s just what they did.
Eric Comin, a marine biologist, claimed the eerie hand probably belonged to a cetacean, a group of sea mammals which includes dolphins, porpoises and whales, hence the size, Jam Press reported.
His deductions were made upon first glance, noting that more testing would be necessary to exactly determine which creature of the sea the mysterious flipper belonged to — although he’s convinced it’s probably a dolphin.
Solely based on the images he’s seen, the rate of decomposition told the biologist the mammal was most likely dead in the water 18 months ago.
People who discover remains, he added, should report it to the Cananéia Research Institute (IPEC).
Odd or unknown animals of the sea — or parts of them — are known to wash up on shores, like last month, when an unidentified “globster” was discovered on an Oregon beach.
The mysterious creature from the deep looks like a massive blob and smelled like “decomposing mammal,” according to the local who stumbled across it.
“We always prioritize leaving the bones on the beach so it does not interfere with the cycling of nutrients within the ecosystem,” Henrique Chupill, the spokesperson for IPEC, told Jam Press.
“Eventually, when there is some scientific interest, we collect them to be used in studies. If they are recently-deceased animals, we collect them to perform necropsies and identify the cause of death.”
