Beryl Dillman, a retired educator who spent 50 years as a principal and professor, turned 108 in Eugene, Oregon last week — his family believes he may be the oldest living man in the state — and credits a clean diet, no alcohol, and his "good mind" for getting here. "As long as I've got my good mind, I can meet people," he said. Also: a TikTok creator named Carlie Bond went viral for photographing her three kids against a plain wall, uploading the images to ChatGPT with the prompt "make it look like a school picture," and posting the results — drawing a wave of parents sharing their own cost-saving AI school photo hacks, with some also using AI to remove watermarks from proof photos they didn't pay for, which legal experts note is copyright infringement. And a story about a wallet found after 51 years in a home renovation — which is a perfect jumping-off point for the Mackinac Island house, the skeleton in the wall, and what you'd want to leave behind for whoever comes after you. Plus the Sasquatch calling competition, the $30 painting that sold for $1.35 million, MIT's stellar cannibalism observation, and the Jefferson DNA study.
