Blurry Hysteria: Spy Whales and Swedish Kid Killers

This week on Blurry Hysteria, we’re swimming into the deep end of weird news! First, we bid farewell to Hvaldimir, the alleged Russian spy beluga whale who captured hearts—and maybe secrets—around the world. Was he a lovable marine mammal or Cold War collateral? Then, things get even darker in Sweden, where kids under 15 are exploiting a legal loophole to work as assassins. Yep, the kiddie table just got deadly. Buckle up for a wild ride of aquatic espionage and pint-sized hitmen on H51!
