Grass Valley’s Bud Furbenny, known for his conspiracy-laden videos about roundabouts, Bigfoot, and chemtrails, is suing YouTube after auto-captions turned his name into “Bugs Fuckbunny.” The video went viral not for his theories, but for the unfortunate closed caption error. While Furbenny demands justice, locals laugh and wonder if this mishap was another plot in his wild theories.

In a misguided social media-fueled resurrection attempt, Redding’s Bethel Church youth group unwittingly reanimated Pete “Lazzy T” Trevino, an infamous local killer. Although briefly resurrected, Trevino quickly clarified he’s “still dead” spiritually—and has since been dismissed from various “second-chance” roles, including at a Quickie Mart. Bethel’s youth now plan less dramatic endeavors as Trevino fades back into legend.

Grass Valley’s own Daryl McCracken is recovering from rabies and tularemia after rescuing a squirrel he believes is the target of a government conspiracy. Despite no interest from local authorities, McCracken insists he’s been “targeted” for his activism. Ignoring medical advice and raising a sparse $18, McCracken remains undeterred, vowing to continue his mission to protect Liberty the Squirrel from “the deep state.”

When her latest solo intimacy session didn’t go as planned, Nevada City’s own Mitzy McConnell took to Instagram and Facebook, blaming “deep-seated societal negativity” for her inability to align with her inner goddess. Self-described as a liberated, empowered woman, Mitzy now finds herself locked in a self-imposed purgatory, wondering if the world’s dissonant energies are to blame for her failed transcendence.

Nevada City bar band The Thorny Blackberries sold their entire original song catalog to Sony for $5.34. Known for hauntingly niche tunes like “Highway 49 Blues,” the Crazy Horse Saloon house band sees the deal as validation, even if it only buys them a single drumstick. “We’re corporate now,” says lead singer Zeke.

Jory Trebilcock of Rhode Island Street insists he's the great-grandson of "Propeller Guy," the man flung by the Titanic’s propeller. With no evidence, he’s convinced Grass Valley to host "Propeller Day," complete with Bigfoot theories, inflatable trampolines, and a Captain’s Hat Toss. Meanwhile, Nevada City scoffs—but hey, pasties will be served.

The Rundex Family Foundation has published a study confirming that Jesus, like all humans, farted. Underwritten by Divinity Beans, Inc., the findings have led to bizarre corporate tie-ins, including religious-themed digestive aids. Meanwhile, Nevada City is protesting the “blasphemy,” while Grass Valley capitalizes on it with a new "Heavenly Flatulence" tour. Chief Data Scientist Robert Colvin maintains, “The data doesn’t lie.”

The new oversized Stanley Cup mug is taking the town by storm, and women are loving it—except for one small issue: it’s nearly impossible to carry! From strained backs to impromptu arm workouts, this mug has become both a status symbol and a struggle. See how locals are handling (or failing to handle) their new favorite hydration obsession.

Just when you thought Nevada City politics couldn’t get any stranger, leaked excerpts from Laura Loomer’s upcoming speech reveal she’s running for mayor—and her platform includes banning kombucha, building a moat around City Hall, and declaring Nevada City an independent MAGA kingdom. Because, of course. Tune in tomorrow as Loomer makes the official announcement at the Nevada County Republican dinner. #OnlyInNevadaCity #LoomerForMayor?
