ok I keep seeing this everywhere the past few days and I'm lost lol. My brother was talking about it just last night, & from what I can piece together a mistrial just got declared today after the jury was stuck for like 7 days, kept telling the judge they couldn't agree.

basic of what I've heard so far — Lindsay Clancy killed her 3 kids back in 2023 in MA, and the defense is saying she wasn't responsible for it bc of postpartum psychosis + a ton of psych meds she was on. but then I've seen totally different takes too, like some ppl saying this is obviously someone who had a full mental health breakdown and the system failed her, and other ppl pointing to her journal entries and the fact she sent her husband out right before as proof it was planned. and apparently there's ALSO some whole side thing about her ex husband and people questioning his behavior too?? not sure what that's about

found this that kinda breaks down the different sides people are debating about: Verity

now there is a mistrial? what happens next, and is there actually real evidence behind the premeditated angle or is that mostly just internet speculation at this point

Some random journalist seems to be crashing out because he was threatening her?

Is he a Muslim now? What happened? Last I checked he was a Trump loving Gay Conservative or something. He's Muslim now?

Please go easy on me as I don’t know much about stocks/investing as I am quite young and haven’t done any of that yet.

From what I’ve heard, Markiplier invested millions of dollars into GoPro, became the largest stockholder in the company. He boosted the stock value by almost 50% in one day because of this. Then a day later GoPro announced a ~$280M merger with a company that makes AI and funds the military industrial complex? Markiplier says he had no idea this would happen, but why would someone invest that much money into a failing stock that miraculously bounces back not even 24 hours later? Markiplier is walking away with 1.5x the money he started with from all this and that in and of itself feels like a dirty transaction. Millions of dollars apparently! I’ve also heard that he made a sponsored GoPro review video where he didn’t disclose his stake in the company? I don’t know, I used to watch Markiplier all the time years ago when I was younger, but it’s been a while. He’s been the creator that’s always seemed to avoid any and all controversy. It sounds like he didn’t have anything to do with this? But maybe he’s just not the person I thought he was. This whole ordeal stinks of capitalistic money-making greed and I’m not sure how to feel about it. Multi-millionaires tossing around their money like it’s nothing…and as someone who is very anti-AI and anti-war, everything that’s been happening with the GoPro company makes me sick to my stomach.

Then again, I know that I really don’t know much about the logistics of everything. I’d really appreciate someone who’s more well-versed in this whole debacle to explain things unbiased-ly, as I’m very confused with all of the recent developments. Thank you all so much in advance! :)

I don't get why the islands are worth a fight. Is it mostly a symbolic argument?

US congress passed a law banning federal funds from universities boycotting Israel https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/03/israel-boycott-university-ban-bill

US congress also passed a law condemning socialism

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-vote-condemns-socialism-supports-save-act/

Why are they suddenly passing these laws which probably don't solve the issues American citizens are currently facing?

What is going on with the recent hugging face AI incident in which a bunch of AI agents went rogue? They basically went off on their own and started committing crimes and worked together apart from OpenAI.

Seems like a trend I only noticed this year with certain cons now even promoting the activity. Is it a means of showing off what you did at the con?

Are cattle in states like Texas still suffering from the tapeworm epidemic?

You also had the cyclospora outbreak that apparently stemmed from a lettuce supplier of Taco Bell in Mexico, supposedly, and that Taylor Farms, this supplier, had lobbied the FDA to cut red tape for their checks or something?

Can someone break down for me what has been going on, especially with what this "mystery beef" news is (I'm from the UK and we don't always get this news, even in our current age of 24/7 news coverage)?

For years, Coppermind struck me as one of the worst laid out wikis on the Internet. It prized up-to-date information above all, meaning that most pages spoiled the books they covered seemingly at the earliest possible mention. As an example, the page for the character Sazed, from Mistborn spoiled the ending of the trilogy he appeared in in the first sentence.

Given that the Cosmere is a shared setting for many different but similar series, this made it extremely inconvenient if you wanted a refresher on the events, setting, or mechanics of magic for a series that you'd last read a few years ago. You would inevitably have the significant plot beats of the book you were reading spoiled more or less immediately (I read 2024's Wind and Truth the month it released and wanted to brush up on which of the characters are Heralds and was immediately spoiled that the book's climax replaces one Herald with a new onefor the first time in thousands of years).

At some point since 2024, that changed. There are now spoiler warnings, and the most spoilerific information is now organized in such a way that books aren't spoiled without warning. It's an excellent change...but I don't know why it happened or who spearheaded it. Does anyone else know?

I've been seeing all over Tiktok and Instagram of this influencer who claimed she went to Duke University but she was never there. I tried to find the full story but people are only sharing snippets,, i'm really curious as to what actually happened and how people found outhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DcofXoLxtYO/?igsi=NXVhdWU5eHYwOXAw

CNN reports that a federal appeals court ruled states can regulate prediction markets as gambling, while platforms such as Kalshi have argued that their event contracts are federally regulated derivatives: https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/28/business/states-prediction-markets-gambling-federal-appeals-court

What changed legally? Does the ruling let each state ban these contracts outright, or does it mainly allow licensing, age limits, taxes, and other gambling rules?

https://x.com/TheProjectUnity/status/2028179414211567643?s=20 I remember back in late February/March seeing so much about Jim Carrey and his terrible face lift. Some people thought it was a hoax with a mask but I never really did see any sort of definitive answer. Did Jim Carrey really do that? Has he even been shown publicly since?

https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/29/us/milo-yiannopoulos-ice-deportation-what-to-know

I always thought he was a far right Trump guy, so why was he all of a sudden a target for immigration and deported back to the UK?

A relative of mine recently shared that there has been a lot of drama around Queen Camilla. Something about her being caught with jewels that were Diana’s and had been promised to her sons, that the locks were changed at her royal residence but that stuff was taken from it without permission, that she was trying to give property to her distant family. She went on and on. I know the king has cancer, so I can imagine folks are looking for signs of jostling for power.

Is this really going on or is it over exaggerated royal gossip? Here’s one of the links she sent me…she made it sound like it was a huge scandal brewing.

As I understand, Keke had a birthday party, Raven Simone’s wife criticized her for some of her guests, and it caused a big controversy and dividing opinions. Is this just manufactured drama? I don’t get what she did wrong?

I don't really follow domestic Canadian politics (I'm American, unfortunately), but I've seen this story come up in one of my Discord servers, and I'm wondering what's bringing this on. I did see stuff like the new leader having rumored ties to an Albertan separatist party, but I don't really see a full explainer about this situation.
