Halfway through the video, the jelly turned slowly, seemingly purposefully, and reached out one of its incredibly long arms. It didn’t feel like a reaction. It was like being acknowledged. That was the moment the ROV paused, floating in deep blue emptiness 820 feet down, bearing witness to something that very few living humans have ever seen. Stygiomedusa gigantea, the so-called huge phantom jellyfish, isn’t new. It was first described in 1899. But in the 127 years thereafter, it has rarely made an appearance. Barely over a hundred sightings have ever been authenticated, and most were ephemeral, indistinct, or confined…

By early 2026, one of America’s most renowned restaurant franchises will appear dramatically different. Pizza Hut, whose classic red-roofed dine-in venues once felt as common as post offices or bowling alleys, is formally closing 250 of its failing U.S. sites. It’s a change that feels both overdue and curiously emotive. According to Yum! Brands—the parent company of Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell—the closures are part of a strategic pivot. Company officials defined the afflicted locations as “underperforming,” but this isn’t just about figures on a financial sheet. This move underscores a broader reevaluation of what diners want, how they…
At first, she flies clumsily, with gestures that are halfway between cute and ridiculous. Her ears twitch mid-air. Her jetpack purrs. Yet somehow—remarkably—Fika, known fondly as Jetpack Cat, plays like she belongs. Players have spent the last week figuring out how big of an impact this long-teased, finally playable hero could have. Introduced as part of the Season 10 hero drop, Jetpack Cat not only broke design assumptions but fundamentally reframed what support positions may look like in a high-speed, team-based shooter. Her ability set isn’t simply playful—it’s especially inventive. Lifeline, a cable that snaps teammates out of danger, functions…
It was just hours after Penn State’s dramatic overtime loss to Michigan State that Gavin McKenna, one of the most talked-about prospects in recent hockey memory, found himself in a predicament that no pre-game briefing or scouting report could have prepared him for. A battle close to State College’s downtown. An purported shattered jaw. And by midweek, felony charges filed in Centre County. The list is not short. In Pennsylvania, aggravated assault is a first-degree felony that denotes an act carried out with “extreme indifference to human life.” Added to it were accusations of simple assault, harassment, and disruptive conduct.…
On the evening of January 31, Tommaso Cioni drove his mother-in-law home, waited in the driveway until she stepped inside, and then left. It was an ordinary act of courtesy, the kind that feels almost ceremonial in families when care is softly exercised rather than publicly expressed. By the next morning, that brief moment would have strikingly similar weight to so many true-crime timelines—simple, documented, and suddenly important. Nancy Guthrie, 84, did not arrive to church the following day. For a lady characterized as limited in movement yet cognitively alert, its absence aroused instant worry. Deputies arrived at her Tucson…
The first Bahama Breeze I ever visited featured teal walls that looked like sea glass under dimmed lighting and ceiling fans that moved gently, like they weren’t in any particular hurry. This week, Darden Restaurants announced that it will close all Bahama Breeze locations—some permanently, others for a new identity—bringing back that memories. This Caribbean-themed establishment, long known for coconut shrimp, island music, and shockingly reasonable happy hour mojitos, is sailing into the sunset. A total of 28 eateries remain. Fourteen will close fully by April 5, 2026, while the other 14 are slated to be turned into different Darden…
There are players who define statistics, and then there are those who define eras. Draymond Green belongs to the latter. His 13.5-year stay with Golden State has been powered not by numbers alone, but by energy, direction, and a stunningly successful sense of control over chaos. In recent weeks, speculations floating about his imminent resignation have stopped being idle chatter. They are now focused, organized, and intensely emotional. As the February 5 deadline approaches, Green has confirmed trade talks, saying that contacts with Coach Kerr and even his son have emerged. By NBA standards, Green’s numbers—8.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and…
It was a peaceful Monday in early August 2013 when The Washington Post—an institution once characterized by Watergate and a century of Graham family stewardship—suddenly became the personal property of Jeff Bezos. The news fell slowly, like dust after a thunderclap. The $250 million price tag appeared modest for a guy whose fortune exceeded that of sovereign states, yet the ramifications were far more vast than the sum implied. Rather than route the transaction through Amazon, Bezos used Nash Holdings, a privately owned corporation he controlled. That distinction was both symbolic and practical. It implied that he viewed the Post…
When Jon Gruden and Rich Gannon were paired in 1999, it didn’t seem like they would make headlines. One was a brash, youthful coach with a wired earpiece and a frown that rarely softened. The other was an experienced quarterback with a resume more respectable than remarkable. Yet together, they produced one of the most unified and shockingly powerful offensive partnerships of the early 2000s. That synergy has resurfaced in recent days, but it’s now on a sidewalk instead of a sideline. During Super Bowl week in San Francisco, the two stumbled into each other by happenstance. What ensued was…
There’s a particular type of silence that settles over a school after the announcement hits: “Lockdown. Secure all doors.” It is neither loud nor quiet, but anticipatory, like the pause shortly before an orchestra begins a movement. At Christopher Columbus High School in Southwest Miami‑Dade on a Wednesday morning in early February, that hush stretched across classrooms and halls after a report of an armed person on campus. What followed was a quick dance of responders, officials, and parents all acting with urgent care. Within minutes of the 10:37 a.m. report, law enforcement officers swarmed on the campus, arriving with…
