Francis X. Donnelly, The Detroit News Published 6:28 p.m. ET Nov. 13, 2020 | Updated 7:59 p.m. ET Nov. 13, 2020A Potterville man used an unconventional method to kill a deer, and his acquaintances made an unconventional decision to show the killing, said state officials.Two unconventional moves, like two wrongs, don’t make a right. What they do make are possible criminal charges.The Eaton County Prosecutor’s Office is mulling whether to charge the 23-year-old man for allegedly killing the deer with a hammer. His name will be released by authorities if charges are filed.The prosecutor knows about the death because the man’s acquaintances posted it on Snapchat and it circulated on Facebook Wednesday night.During the video, which lasts less than a minute, the deer is standing in the middle of a road in Eaton County, blinded by vehicle headlights. The animal is then struck repeatedly in the head while laughter and words of encouragement can be heard.A state conservation officer learned about the video from a relative at 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.More: Michigan deer firearm season is nigh, interest highThe officer, Todd Thorn, who was off-duty, tracked the man to a friend’s home on Doane Highway, which was near the site of the attack.Grand total of time it took Thorn to find the alleged culprit: one hour.When Thorn arrived, he found the deer partially butchered with its head severed, according to a DNR press release.The man admitted killing the deer but told Thorn it was an act of mercy. The man said he was on his way home when he came upon the deer, which he described as disoriented from being struck by a car.“(He) decided to put the deer out of its misery,” said the DNR.The man told Thorn he and his acquaintances loaded the…

Actress Salma Hayek just took to Instagram to share a much-needed photo, but it wasn’t the normal shot of her chiseled and toned 54-year-old self. Today’s post was a throwback shot of her in her twenties. And while many consider those her prime days, the star looks just as good—if not better—now, just with a few more life lessons under her belt. While Hayek may look the same, her 2014 NewBeauty cover feature proves that she’s grown a lot since the good old days. Something she wishes she could’ve told her younger self: Make time for yourself. “I have a child and a husband who always need me, and the one thing I can’t do is relax and take time for myself,” she told us. “The only place I feel I can do this is when I take a bath or I am in the shower, because no one can find me there. Sometimes, in the morning, I lay down flat in the shower and let the water rush over me. Even if you do it for five minutes, it’s really lovely.” Another lesson she wishes she could have known is that “even the most steadfast of beauties are not without their battles.” Having acne so severe she was prescribed Accutane to treat it, she thought she would never see the clear-skin light at the end of a long, dark tunnel of insecurity.  “There were days I used to wake up, look in the mirror and go straight back to bed because my acne was so bad, so I get it,” she said. “I think adult acne is something that, while it affects a lot of people, most brands still don’t want to give a solution because they think it’s not chic—it’s actually shocking. I think that’s terrible.” With a…

Friday 13th Her 'Favorite' Day DoveCameron/Instagram Scroll for the photos. Dove, known to explore deeper meanings and having explored the mythical aspects behind her snake tattoo, had plunged into the calendar date that everyone deems unlucky. The photos showed the Emmy-winning actress in selfie mode and in her bedroom. Dove was flaunting her insanely-long legs in a sleeveless, white satin dress with a short-and-long feel – you'll see what we mean in the snap. White stilettos matched the nightie-effect dress, with Dove offering two similar shots before taking to her caption. Educating Instagram DoveCameron/Instagram Keep scrolling for more photos. Dove, confirming Friday 13th is "my favorite day," then taught fans that the day is "historically celebrated as the day of the goddess before it was ever re-branded as an unlucky day by patriarchal leaders around the ancient roman era." The number 13 also got an explanation, as the "We Belong" singer called it an "inherently feminine number, representing the 13 cycles of the moon and subsequently women’s bodies, and the incredible relationship between the two." Into All Things Mythical With Snake Tattoo DoveCameron/Instagram Dove might keep it real by admitting her quarantine can see her in bed until noon, but there's another side to the beauty. A pandemic Zoom date with Byrdie this year saw the actress speak of her snake tattoo, and she knows her stuff. "It's all tied into etymology stories of women being equated to the snake and the snake being equated to the underworld," she said of the snake, adding that it's a way to "shame women." Nobody's shaming Dove now, although that was a different story with her bikini-clad road trip.

Netflix It's set over the holidays, and is about a pair of teens who communicate via a red notebook, in which they give each other dares to push one another out of their comfort zones. It's a really sweet, fun show. Here are some of the best tweets and Tumblr posts about it so far...

Scripps College is one of 30 colleges around the country test running Facebook Campus, a new Facebook feature for college students. (HuxleyAnnHuefner • The Student Life) A social media service designed for college students to connect with one another. Sound familiar? From its humble origins, Facebook has grown into the world’s largest social media platform, with 2.7 billion users — and now it’s going back to its roots. Scripps College joined 29 other universities in the United States to test run Facebook Campus, a new Facebook feature specifically for college students, before it’s widely released. It occupies its own tab in Facebook’s navigation bar and includes a campus feed, groups and events, just like the regular Facebook interface. To join, users must have a valid university email address. In early September, Facebook Campus was released to 30 colleges, including Northwestern University, California Institute of Technology, Brown University, Tufts University and Wellesley College.  “ selected a broad range of schools to really see how Facebook Campus can have a broad range of feedback on different kinds of schools,” Trinity Walker SC ’24, a Facebook Campus ambassador, said. Walker became a Facebook Campus ambassador after someone from Facebook direct messaged her on Instagram, asking her to sign up. Walker did not disclose if she is receiving compensation for her position. Within the broad range of schools, the general purpose of Facebook Campus remains the same: to connect university students with each other. Students can input their college major and graduation year to individually connect with people through groups and events.  Some of the groups are extensions or modulations of already existing 7C and Scripps Facebook groups: Free and For Sale @ Scripps, Scripps meme page, Class of 2024 and Café con Leche.  “ can help you make more organic connections with…
