Judge Judy Is Ending Her CBS Show After 25 Years; Three People Die After Dry Ice Was Poured into a Swimming Pool and Polar Bears Resort to Cannibalism Thanks to Climate Change.
When Judge Judy Sheindlin, 77, recently appeared on the Ellen show, she revealed that her long-lived Judge Judy show will be ending after its 25th season. Not all is lost for Judge Judy fans, however. She said she’ll instead be focusing her energies on a new show called Judy Justice.
“I’ve had a 25-year-long marriage with CBS, and it’s been successful; next year will be our 25th season, silver anniversary,” she said. “And CBS sort of felt, I think, they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program, because now they have 25 years of reruns; so what they decided to do was to sell a couple of years’ worth of reruns.”
“But I’m not tired,” said Judy. “So Judy Justice will be coming out a year later. If you’re not tired, you’re not supposed to stop.”
One big question that remains is if the CBS payroll companies will still be paying Judge Judy her $47 million annual income in royalty fees.

Instagram influencer Yekaterina Didenko was celebrating her 29th birthday at a pool complex in Moscow when guests started to leave the sauna, complaining that it was too warm.
Partygoers ordered 25kg of dry ice that they poured into the pool, and several guests who had been in the sauna jumped into the pool to cool off.
Immediately, those swimmers began to lose consciousness and started choking. The preliminary analysis of the cause of their deaths is suffocation.
Since dry ice is a form of carbon dioxide, when released into an area that doesn’t have proper ventilation, it can cause people to inhale the gas.
Ms. Didenko’s husband is reported to be among those who died. In a video message posted on Instagram, the influencer appeared shaken and said that her husband had been rushed to intensive care.

Ilya Mordvintsev, a senior researcher at Moscow’s Severtsov Institute of Problems of Ecology and Evolution, said that he’s worried about changing behaviors among polar bears, including cannibalism, which is on the rise in the Arctic.
“Cases of cannibalism among polar bears are a long-established fact, but we’re worried that such cases used to be found rarely while now they’re recorded quite often.”
Mordvintsev said there were several reasons that polar bear behavior could be changing, such as a lack of food and their changing habitat.
“In some seasons there is not enough food and large males attack females with cubs,” he said.
An increase in the numbers of people who work in the Arctic might also play a role since that means more people reporting the polar bear’s behavior. “Now we get information not only from scientists but also from the growing number of oil workers and defense ministry employees.”
