After dark, the streets of Uvalde, Texas, are silent. modest yards, low fences, and porch lights that shine against the flat horizon of South Texas. In September 2025, 35-year-old Regina Santos-Aviles burned herself alive in one of those backyards. It was declared a suicide by the medical examiner. The same was confirmed by the police report, which was made public months later. However, the tale did not stop there. It spread, gaining national attention and political weight.

Many viewers will always associate Robert Carradine with Revenge of the Nerds’ Lewis. For another generation, however, he was just Dad. Carradine portrayed Sam McGuire, the laid-back and sometimes perplexed father of Lizzie (played by Hilary Duff), on the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire. Even though the role came decades into his career, it might have been one of his most subtly significant.

The headlines about Robert Carradine and the cause of death spread swiftly, but the ensuing quiet was more depressing. Carradine, who played Lizzie’s father on Lizzie McGuire and Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds, passed away at the age of 71. He lived with bipolar disorder for almost twenty years before taking his own life, according to his family. It is a fact expressed simply, almost in a clinical manner. However, the reality surrounding that fact was far from clinical.

The county of Sussex felt smaller than usual for almost twenty-four hours. Under almost twenty inches of snow, roads that are usually humming with delivery vans and pickup trucks sat motionless. Wind swept powder across Route 113 in Georgetown, erasing tire tracks as fast as they were created, like a curtain being drawn and redrawn. The Level 3 driving ban was more than just a press release statement. It was evident in the quiet. The message was clear when the Delaware Emergency Management Agency declared Level 3 driving restrictions for Sussex County: nobody should be on the roads unless necessary.…
Tropical Cyclone Horacio appeared almost graceful from afar, with its eye clearly defined, clouds encircling it like a coiling spring, and a perfectly formed spiral carved into deep blue water. Then you see the figures. wind speeds of almost 160 mph. About 910 hPa is the central pressure. Category 5: All of a sudden, the word elegance seems inappropriate. Horacio became the first Category 5-equivalent storm of 2026 as it grew stronger over the Southwest Indian Ocean east of Madagascar. It transformed from a mild tropical storm into something much more powerful in a single day. This is referred to…
When does tonight’s State of the Union address start? 9 p.m. Eastern Time is the short answer. Given the president’s arrival, the applause lines, and the slow choreography of Congress gathering under bright television lights, the longer answer is most likely 9 p.m. The speech is customarily given in the House chamber at the US Capitol at 9 p.m. ET. At that point, lawmakers lean into the aisle in an attempt to get attention as the networks switch to the marble corridors and the handshake gauntlet starts. The exact start time, however, is determined by how long it takes the…
The courtroom was as silent as most Los Angeles courtrooms, with lawyers whispering in low, formal tones and the fluorescent lighting humming softly overhead. The son of renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner, Nick Reiner, was standing behind glass, wearing brown jail clothes, his beard cropped close, and his head shaved. He didn’t say much and only responded when asked, not at fault. That seemingly robotic statement has now become the difference between a distraught family and a protracted legal battle.

The atmosphere around Launch Complex 39B changed noticeably the morning the delay was formally announced. A few days prior, engineers had finished what seemed to be a flawless wet dress rehearsal: systems were functioning, propellant was loaded, and the countdown was practiced down to T-29 seconds. The Space Launch System’s imposing orange core stage, which resembled Saturn V’s successor, was framed by a clear blue Florida sky. At least in public, confidence appeared to be growing. Then there was the problem with helium. NASA has reported that engineers have identified a disruption in the flow of helium to the temporary…
