The news we couldn't ignore if we tried

Michigan Coach Fired For Screwing Around

CNN / Yahoo— According to the account described, Sherrone Moore’s week shifted abruptly on Wednesday when the University of Michigan fired him as head football coach after an internal investigation concluded he had violated university policy by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, resulting in his immediate dismissal without remaining contract pay. Later the same day, police in Saline responded to an alleged assault near Ann Arbor, took a suspect into custody, and transferred that individual to Pittsfield Township authorities, who booked him into the Washtenaw County Jail pending prosecutorial review; while officials did not publicly identify Moore or release further details due to the active investigation, it became clear by evening that he had been jailed just hours after his firing. The situation represents a steep decline for the 39-year-old coach, who had led Michigan for two seasons, as the team now turns to an interim coach for its upcoming bowl game amid his unfolding professional and legal challenges.

Woman Gives Birth Inside Waymo Taxi

ABC News— A San Francisco woman heading to UCSF Medical Center in a Waymo self-driving taxi gave birth in the back seat before reaching the hospital, prompting the company’s remote support team to notice “unusual activity,” call her, and alert 911; by the time help was en route, she had already delivered, and the autonomous vehicle continued safely to the hospital with both mother and newborn. Hospital staff confirmed they arrived in good condition, and Waymo temporarily removed the car from service for cleaning, noting that while such incidents are rare, the company was proud its robotaxi played a role in the unexpected but special moment.

Keep Scrolling: Ignore The Bait

Study Finds— Rage bait refers to social media posts crafted to provoke anger so people will click, argue, and share. Researchers note that this tactic works because our brains react quickly to anything that seems unfair or threatening, making us more likely to engage even when we recognize the manipulation. Each angry comment or share signals algorithms to boost the content further, feeding a cycle that fills feeds with negativity and distorts our view of the world. Ultimately, rage bait spreads because it triggers strong emotions—and online platforms reward whatever drives engagement.

Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 3

National Stretching Day

National Stretching Day—because apparently, we needed a government-sanctioned reminder that our joints still exist. It’s the one day a year folks remember they’ve got hamstrings, immediately overestimate their flexibility, and pull something that ends with a trip to urgent care and a lecture from a 23-year-old chiropractor named Skyler. Yoga moms call it spiritual, office workers treat it like a miracle cure for sitting, and your uncle Gary just uses it as an excuse to grunt loudly in public. But sure, let’s pretend touching your toes is a revolution.
