A truly bizarre Strands puzzle today where I didn’t figure out the category until it was over and the clue is totally useless.
How To Play Strands

Scientists just debunked a dangerous baby rattlesnake myth
A common belief that baby rattlesnakes are more dangerous than adults has been overturned by a new study from Loma Linda University. After reviewing the history and spread of the myth, researchers concluded that bites from adult rattlesnakes are generally more dangerous because adults carry and inject much larger amounts of venom.
The study also disproves the widely repeated claim that baby rattlesnakes cannot control how much venom they release and therefore inject all of it when they bite. According to the researchers, this misconception has had serious real-world consequences.

The youth clubs fighting to stay relevant in the social media age

It's 17:00 on Thursday in Bradford and as I approach a three-storey former country pub, drill music booms from the basement.
The snappy, rhythmic beats are not what you expect inside this old, listed building.
This is where teenagers from Gypsy, traveller and Roma communities get together every week. Older generations would call this a youth club but when I meet 16-year-old Sterling, he's quick to correct me: "Youth clubs are out of style."
‘Moana’ Faces Box Office Test, Less Than Two Years After Franchise’s Last Big Theatrical Splash
Dwayne Johnson and Catherine Laga’aia lead Disney‘s live-action Moana, which aims to make waves in its box office debut this weekend but could face a challenge, coming less than two years after the latest entry in the island-centric film franchise.
Director Thomas Kail‘s movie is eyeing a domestic weekend start between $60 million and $65 million with a launch spanning 3,900 theaters in North America. This is dialed back from last month, when tracking for the film — which marks the studio’s latest live-action reimagining after striking it big with 2025’s Lilo & Stitch — suggested Moana’s domestic weekend debut could reach as high as $75 million or above.

BBC radio DJ Paul Gambaccini diagnosed with Alzheimer's
Veteran radio DJ Paul Gambaccini has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
In a statement, the BBC Radio 2 and Greatest Hits Radio presenter said: "As Freddie Mercury once sang, you can't turn back the clock, you can't turn back the tide. Ain't that a shame.
"There's no denying it's a serious condition with an uncertain future, but for now life goes on as normal."
Gambaccini, who was given the diagnosis in 2025, said he would continue to present his programmes on both stations.
Pioneering treatment saves identical twins from rare pregnancy condition
A pioneering procedure using high-powered sound waves has the potential to treat identical twins affected by a serious but rare condition during early pregnancy, a study has found.
Blood flow between babies with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) is uneven, leaving one baby dangerously small and the other too large, putting their survival at risk.
Brioney Garrett's identical girls' lives were in danger during her pregnancy before doctors at a London hospital used the treatment to seal blood vessels causing the problem, without needing an operation.
