Ukraine’s elite “Ghost” unit attacked a Russian Black Sea fleet, destroying a pair of amphibious war planes for the first time in the war, officials said Monday. Ukraine’s military intelligence service (HUR) said the Ghosts carried out the operation on Sunday, aiming at Moscow’s naval aviation equipment parked in the occupied Crimea peninsula. Footage from the strike shows how drones swooped over the military base and slammed into the Be-12 “Chaika” warplanes, with the assault also taking out an Mi-8 helicopter.

The Israel Defense Forces is advancing into Gaza City, targeting Hamas’s main stronghold, with troops engaged in combat against terrorists both above and below ground, IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said on Sunday. “Hamas has shown the world its true strategy: to exploit its own people and prolong this war,” said Defrin. “Our forces are working day and night, turning over every stone, to bring our hostages home, dismantle Hamas’s terror networks, and secure a safer region for all,” he added.

Back in 2015, Deathgasm brought a goregasmic metalpocalypse to SXSW’s Midnight showcase. Since then, fans of the hard-rockin’ horror comedy—myself included—have dreamed about another demonic headbanger’s brawl. Almost a decade later, and thanks to a $300k+ crowdfunding campaign, writer and director Jason Lei Howden is finally unleashing his long-awaited sequel: Deathgasm 2: Goremageddon. It’s got gnarly shreds, idiots running amok, and gallons of early Peter Jackson-esque gore, which combats the reality that while evil may cum again, it’s a little less potent on this second tour. Howden’s reunion gets the band back together, despite half of Deathgasm perishing during the…

Egyptians reacted with outrage this week after officials said that a 3,000-year-old bracelet that had belonged to an ancient pharaoh was stolen from Cairo’s famed Egyptian Museum and then melted down for gold. Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathy said in televised comments late Saturday that the bracelet was stolen on September 9 while officials at the museum were preparing artifacts for an exhibit in Italy. He blamed “laxity” in implementing procedures at the facility and said that prosecutors were still investigating.

A core part of Starbucks’ fall menu is finally returning. Ever since the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the rest of the beloved fall goodies returned to Starbucks menus nationwide last month, customers have been clamoring for one forgotten flavor to make a comeback: Apple Crisp. Back in August, when Starbucks teased the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte along with other fall items on their Instagram page, the comment section was flooded with fans sharing their grievances that the yummy Apple Crisp wasn’t included in the lineup. “It’s not fall without apple crisp,” one person wrote. “guess I’ll need to…

I was a guest on a recording for a workshop series about maternal and reproductive loss last month with a colleague from Australia. We were talking about these uncomfortable, often unaddressed but not so unusual losses, including miscarriage, stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), and infertility. We wanted to examine how this fits with my work on maternal ambivalence. My colleague’s own experience is both inspiring and shocking. Even though she was interviewing me about maternal ambivalence, I urged her to start with her story—a way to set the tone for us. She and her husband have four children. Their…

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claimed Monday that he is amenable to a one-year extension of the arms control treaty with the US that limits the number of nuclear weapons the two countries have in their arsenals. Putin said he would back an extension of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, if President Trump agrees to it as well. The overture comes as New START, which limits the nukes each side can deploy, is set to expire on Feb. 5, 2026. Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting with members of the Security Council at the Kremlin in…

Giants fans are getting restless. In the midst of a listless offensive performance in their home opener Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, fans began calling for rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart in favor of starter Russell Wilson who just posted 450 passing yards the week prior. “We want Dart,” fans began chanting as Wilson attempted to force the ball to star receiver Malik Nabers in the back corner of the end zone with 49 seconds left in the first half. Dart played sparingly in the Giants’ 22-9 loss to the Chiefs on “Sunday Night Football,” entering for three snaps,…

Charlie Kirk’s grieving widow, Erika, described the moment she saw her husband’s body in the hospital after the conservative influencer was assassinated — as she insisted he “died happy.” “His eyes were semi-open and he had this knowing, Mona Lisa-like half-smile. Like he’d died happy. Like Jesus rescued him. The bullet came, he blinked, and he was in heaven,” Erika Kirk said in an emotional interview with the New York Times. Kirk also revealed the sheriff advised her against seeing her husband’s body due to the damage the bullet had done to his neck. Erika Kirk gets emotional while speaking…
