Dana Whitfield This move could lift Dow's value if they get a solid offer amid the current industry slump.

BepiColombo spacecraft begin risky final approach to Mercury orbit — Sep 3, 2026The European Space Agency and Japan’s JAXA have begun the arrival phase of the BepiColombo mission to Mercury, with the two orbiters separating in preparation to enter Mercury’s orbit in November and split in December to map the planet. The highly automated, high-risk sequence—driven by Mercury’s proximity to the Sun and involving multiple flybys—underscores the mission’s complexity, with scientific observations slated to begin in the coming years.

Jared Kim Seven years of flybys and gravity assists just to fight the Sun's pull enough to slip into orbit - wild that Mercury is harder to reach than Pluto in some ways.

Her public updates, including appearances at the US Open, show cautious optimism while she remains undecided about whether she will race again.

Rachel Meyers At 41, coming back from this kind of injury takes real guts. Whatever she decides, she's already proven so much.

Elliott takes stake in Deutsche Telekom, opposes T-Mobile merger plan — Sep 3, 2026Activist investor Elliott Investment Management has taken a stake in Deutsche Telekom and is pressuring the group to drop its planned merger with T-Mobile US, urging instead larger share buybacks and other value-boosting actions. The news has seen Deutsche Telekom and T-Mobile shares rise modestly on the prospect of activist influence, while analysts note the merger would be complex and governance and political hurdles could affect strategy.

Dana Whitfield DT already has control of T-Mobile through its stake, so I don't see why merging fully would even change much operationally besides paperwork and taxes.

Hubble reveals mysterious 10-sided pattern swirling at Saturn's south pole — Sep 3, 2026Astronomers have identified a giant 10-sided decagon in Saturn’s southern atmosphere, likely forming between 2017 and 2023 and continuing to evolve, with sides surpassing 10,000 miles. The feature, observed via Hubble and ground-based telescopes and published in Science Advances, drifts eastward about 6 mph and challenges the view that Saturn’s north-pole hexagon is unique by revealing a more complex, dual-pole meteorology.

Chris Dalton So the north pole gets a tidy hexagon and the south pole shows up with a decagon like it's trying to one-up its sibling.

Caracas airport reopens at 25% capacity via temporary terminal — Sep 2, 2026Venezuela’s Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía has partially resumed commercial flights using a 10,000-square-meter temporary complex to handle about 2,168 passengers daily, with initial operations targeting roughly a quarter of pre-earthquake traffic and plans to reach around 60% by year’s end. The temporary facility was completed in about 35 days and program includes domestic and international flights while permanent facilities are rebuilt.

Priya Raman Going from 25% to 60% capacity by year's end sounds ambitious. Hope they don't cut corners on safety to hit that target.

By Any Means Revisits FBI Civil Rights Investigation — Sep 3, 2026Elegance Bratton's By Any Means dramatizes the 1966 Mississippi FBI investigation into Vernon Dahmer's murder, pairing Mark Wahlberg's mob figure Greg Scarpa with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's Black FBI agent as they bend rules to seek justice amid violent racism.

Edgar Hoover.

Memphis groomer charged after four dogs die; 36 seized from Florida man — Sep 9, 2026Two separate animal-cruelty cases emerged: in Memphis, groomer Keaton Stuckey is charged with four counts of aggravated cruelty after four dogs died from heat stroke while in his care, with necropsies confirming heat exhaustion and no veterinary care provided; in Melrose, 67-year-old Mark Plosila had 36 husky-mixed dogs seized after months of neighbor complaints, resulting in the euthanization of 15 dogs and criminal charges alongside a civil order that previously restricted the number of dogs he could possess. The cases highlight ongoing enforcement actions against suspected animal neglect and the complexities of civil and criminal proceedings in multi-dog welfare disputes.

Rachel Meyers Neighbors warned for months about the overcrowding but nothing changed until 15 dogs had to be euthanized.
