A 34-year-old police officer on South Korea's most famous resort island allegedly closed missing persons cases with fabricated records, and at least two of those missing people turned up dead weeks later. South Korean authorities have charged the officer, identified only by the surname Bu, with forging public electronic records, obstruction of official duties, and dereliction of duty after an investigation revealed he closed cases without evidence, deleted files, and lied to families about the fate of their missing relatives. Bu, assigned to the Jeju West Police Station's missing persons investigation team, handled 298 cases between March 2025 and July 2026. He closed 25 of them. Four bodies were discovered on Jeju Island between August…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Hamptons "Tumbleweed Tuesday" fades as remote workers and influencers refuse to leave after Labor Day
The Hamptons tradition of emptying out after Labor Day is vanishing, replaced by year-round crowds that remote workers, content creators, and tourism marketers show no sign of surrendering. For more than five decades, the Tuesday after Labor Day carried an unofficial name on the East End of Long Island: Tumbleweed Tuesday.

The Hamptons tradition of emptying out after Labor Day is vanishing, replaced by year-round crowds that remote workers, content creators, and tourism marketers show no sign of surrendering. For more than five decades, the Tuesday after Labor Day carried an unofficial name on the East End of Long Island: Tumbleweed Tuesday. It marked the day summer visitors packed up, traffic evaporated, and locals reclaimed their towns for nine quiet months. That ritual is now, by most accounts, finished. Second-home owners who once left after the holiday weekend are filing earnings reports from places like Quogue. Influencers are staging fall content shoots in Montauk. And the region's own tourism office has actively campaigned to keep the crowds coming.…Open

The beloved "I Dream of Jeannie" star reassured fans she is not seriously ill after festival organizers described her last-minute withdrawal as a "sudden illness", a characterization Eden herself corrected within hours. Barbara Eden, who turned 95 last month, was scheduled to appear in person at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival in Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend to receive the Cinecon Legacy Award. Instead, organizers posted a Facebook announcement the morning of her appearance saying Eden would not attend due to a "sudden illness." The announcement set off a wave of concern among fans worldwide, concern Eden moved quickly to address on her own terms. Eden took to Instagram to clarify that the organizers had it wrong. She was not…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Big Ten audio fails to quiet 'rigged' claims after Michigan's controversial Hail Mary win
Michigan's last-second Hail Mary victory over Western Michigan has sparked a firestorm of "rigged" accusations from fans, and the Big Ten's own explanation may have raised more questions than it answered. Western Michigan players had already started celebrating. The stadium clock read zero. The Broncos, 27.5-point underdogs, appeared to have pulled off the biggest upset […] The post Big Ten audio fails to quiet 'rigged' claims after Michigan's controversial Hail Mary win appeared first on American Almanac .
Michigan's last-second Hail Mary victory over Western Michigan has sparked a firestorm of "rigged" accusations from fans, and the Big Ten's own explanation may have raised more questions than it answered. Western Michigan players had already started celebrating. The stadium clock read zero. The Broncos, 27.5-point underdogs, appeared to have pulled off the biggest upset in Michigan football in nearly two decades. Then officials stepped in, put one second back on the clock, and gave the No. 16 Wolverines a second chance at a Hail Mary. Bryce Underwood launched a 47-yard strike to JJ Buchanan, and Michigan escaped with a 13-12 win at the Big House in Ann Arbor on September 6. The ruling turned on a single player: Western Michigan's Micah…Open

The organizers of science's quirkiest awards show moved their ceremony to Switzerland after declaring it "unsafe" for guests to visit America, but never specified what danger they had in mind. Ten research teams picked up Ig Nobel Prizes on Thursday at a convention center in Zurich for studies ranging from cockroach milk to the science of blowing your nose. The awards, handed out every year since 1991 by the magazine Annals of Improbable Research, honor genuine scientific work that "makes you laugh, then makes you think." For 35 consecutive years the ceremony called the United States home, rotating among Harvard, MIT, and Boston University. Not anymore. Master of ceremonies Marc Abrahams, who also edits the magazine, told The Associated…Open

A concertgoer on Kesha's Freedom Tour removed her dentures mid-show and handed them over, and the pop star's reaction, caught on video, is exactly what you'd expect. Kesha has built a reputation for wild fan interactions, but a recent stop on her Freedom Tour pushed even her limits. A fan in the front row pulled a set of dentures straight out of her mouth and offered them to the singer in the palm of her hand. Kesha, visibly rattled, picked them up between her thumb and forefinger, then gagged and dropped them. The moment, captured on video and posted to Kesha's TikTok account , spread quickly online. The Los Angeles-born pop star captioned the clip: "The Freedom Tour was feral. Love you, Animals!" The fan, noticeably missing teeth after…Open
