An Islamic terrorist attack on the Mall of America in Minneapolis has been thwarted by the FBI. Agents supplied Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, with a rifle and ammunition amid an undercover investigation spanning almost two years. According to a federal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court, Mohamud traded messages with a confidential informant and paid $600 to an undercover FBI employee posing as a member of ISIS for an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition. He was arrested Tuesday in a public park in Richfield, Minnesota, following the purchase. #mallofamerica #terrorattack #isis

A 16-year-old French boy lost two fingers to a grenade during school riots that burned two dozen campuses, injured nearly 90 teachers, and left more than a thousand people wounded. The Sun reported that the boy was hurt outside Couffignal high school in Strasbourg earlier this morning and rushed to hospital in a state of absolute emergency.

Banana the corgi blasted to a halftime win at the Seahawks-Chargers game and looked back like Usain Bolt, leaving NFL fans in stitches online. Three corgis lined up at the 50-yard line during halftime of Seattle’s Week 4 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers and tore toward the end zone. One dog named Banana shot out front, held a clear lead, and glanced back at the other two before crossing the finish line. The Sun reported that the Seahawks named Banana the 2026 Corgi Cup Champion and handed the winner a massive trophy as the crowd soaked up the mid-game show. Seattle then closed out the real contest on the field, beating the Chargers 30-23. For many watching at home, though, the short dogs were the clip that stuck. Banana pulls away…Open

Hundreds of life-sized scarecrows now outnumber the few remaining residents in a Japanese mountain village where no baby has been born for more than 20 years. Nagoro sits in the mountains of Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku Island, about a two-hour drive from Tokushima City. Fields, bus stops, gardens, and an empty primary school are filled with posed dolls dressed as farmers, mothers, elderly riders waiting for a bus, children, and cyclists. The human population has dwindled to roughly 30 people. The dolls run into the hundreds. Local resident Tsukimi Ayano started the unusual project some 30 years ago. She made a scarecrow from her father’s clothes for her field. When people mistook it for a real person, she began crafting more…Open

NASA has selected a project to investigate a football-field-sized hole on the moon that may open into a cavern able to shield future astronauts from harsh radiation and temperature swings. The space agency tapped the Planetary Science Institute to lead the Geophysical Instruments for Marius Lunar Pit Investigation, known as GIMLI, after the team announced the project on Monday. The target is the Marius Hills Pit, an opening in one of the moon’s most volcanically varied regions that Japan’s SELENE spacecraft first spotted in 2009. Daily Mail reporting describes an opening roughly the size of an American football field and about as deep as a 10-story building. Scientists want to know whether it leads to a lava tube or larger underground…Open

Glen Powell is sitting out politics because he hates the discourse, and he blames Paramount’s marketing layoffs for “The Running Man” box-office flop. The “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Chad Powers” star used an Esquire magazine cover interview to draw a hard line on campaign chatter and culture-war sparring. He said the talk divides people, and he wants no part of it on the press circuit. Variety reported his remarks alongside a blunt box-office autopsy: Powell tied the weak run of Edgar Wright’s fall 2025 tentpole “The Running Man” to Paramount Pictures dumping its marketing team right before the film opened amid a merger. Hollywood has spent years treating red-carpet interviews like town halls. Powell is joining a short…Open

Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere nearly settled a dinner-party dispute over Princess Diana with their fists in the 1990s, years after Gere was pushed off their shared film set. Page Six reports that Elton John’s 2019 memoir “Me” describes a star-studded dinner he hosted in the ’90s, around the time he was writing songs for the 1994 film “The Lion King.” Guests included Stallone, Gere, and Princess Diana. Diana, by then separated from Charles, “straight away” seemed “taken with” Gere, John wrote. The pair ended up “sitting in front of the fireplace together, locked in rapt conversation.” Stallone did not take it well.
