In July, more than a thousand AI agents built their own secret messaging system inside a software tool called Artifactory. They used it to coordinate a cyberattack against the AI company Hugging Face, and organized volunteers to fail their own evaluations on purpose, so the rest of the group could learn how to avoid getting caught.

Over the past ten weeks, the Supreme Court reshaped both asylum and Temporary Protected Status. The Department of Homeland Security rewrote the rules for green card applicants and international students. And Immigration and Customs Enforcement set a new monthly arrest record for the third month in a row. Some of it is already law. Some of it takes effect in the next two weeks. And some of it is still tied up in court, which means it could change again before you finish reading this.

Picture a beach in Lima on a recent Saturday. A guy in full Shrek costume, green face paint and all, squares off against a Superman impersonator, a Jack Sparrow lookalike, and someone doing a dead-on Nicolás Maduro, gray tracksuit included. Dozens of teenagers ring around them, phones out, screaming every time someone lands a move. Nobody’s really fighting. They are not even touching. Instead, they’re “farming aura.” WTF is aura farming, you ask? Fair question.

Glaciers just collapsed into a flood that’s killed more than 900 people in Nepal and Tibet. Over 4,400 are still missing. Rivers across Europe dropped to record lows this August, forcing Romania to shut down a nuclear plant. Wildfire smoke from Canada lingered over New York and Philadelphia for weeks. A heatwave in June killed close to 6,000 people in France alone. And somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the water has been running a fever that’s about to make all of it worse.

Many of those who found a new home in Tulum are now setting roots elsewhere. Up until a couple of years ago, it was considered “the gem of Mexico.” Today, it is a ghost town, where nearly half the shops now sit closed, according to journalist Helen Jennifer. However, Tulum did not fall apart on its own. It is another example of how human mobility across borders shifts. Tulum built up fast, sold hard, and was picked over by the same people who once couldn’t stop posting about it, Americans included.

The Ohio Immigrant Alliance did not set out to write a report about rapists and killers wearing federal badges. They started by noticing a pattern of ICE agents in Cincinnati committing sexual and violent crimes against women, and asked a simple question: was this an anomaly, or something bigger? The answer, published last week in a report called “The Worst of the Worst,” is bigger than almost anyone would guess.

Somewhere in Houston, Oakland, or Grand Junction, Colorado, someone is currently cutting down, spray-painting, or, in at least one documented case, shooting a small black box bolted to a traffic light pole. That box is a Flock camera, one of roughly 120,000 the company says it has installed across 49 states. And people are destroying them fast enough that how-to videos are spreading online. And if that sounds like an overreaction to a “simple” traffic camera, it really isn’t.

Food-related illnesses and the uncertainty surrounding food appear to be the most prevalent memes on social media in 2026. Food recalls seem to be more frequent—or at least more prominent in the headlines. And there’s a wide range of them: a deadly outbreak of listeriosis, contamination by Salmonella, E. coli, and the infamous cyclosporiasis, among others.

Prichard Colón never won a world title. Nevertheless, in 2021, the World Boxing Council awarded him an honorary championship, along with the Green and Gold belt, which the organization said he “always deserved.” It is one of boxing’s stranger honors. It represents a title awarded not for what a fighter did inside the ropes but for what was taken from him there. Colón died last week at 33, eleven years after the fight that ended his career and began the rest of his life.

There’s a news story that seems to have been buried in the headlines. That is, unless you specifically search for it on Google. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, it’s that if a story isn’t everywhere, it’s because the mainstream media simply doesn’t care. We’re talking about the water crisis in Puerto Rico.
