Open Waters is a game in development designed to induce thalassophobia: the intense and supposedly irrational fear of large bodies of water. The teaser trailer had me clenched within seconds and that was before that thing even showed up.
You are LOST in Open Waters.

The Mamdani look-alike contest moved to the sidewalk on Sunday, August 30, 2026, after police shut down the initial gathering at Washington Square Park due to a lack of a permit, according to the Associated Press. The hurdle didn’t stop the crowd of hundreds from finding a new spot to crown the city’s best impersonator of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The energy was high as the event, sponsored by the social media app Sonder, continued just outside the park boundaries to settle the question of who really wears the mayor’s face best. The winner of the day was Amadeo Fusca, a 40-year-old actor and comedian who walked away with a $100 prize. Fusca really leaned into the aesthetic, appearing in a suit with a New York Knicks jersey underneath.

A man was on his way home when police officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut, pulled him over after running his plate and finding that his rented vehicle had an expired car registration. However, the man alleged that the reason the officers ran his plate and pressed the issue was because of his skin color.
@kingofconnecticut4 shared the incident in a video on TikTok, which has since accumulated over 916,600 views, along with on-screen text that said, “THIS IS ME DRIVING WHILE BLACK IN AMERICA.” According to kingofconnecticut4, he was stopped at a red light when the officers driving behind him allegedly ran a plate check before confronting the TikToker.

Shoppers return clothing for any number of reasons: Dresses not fitting, clothing not looking right, or colors not matching are a few. Most customers expect a swift return process when they bring an item in—not a debate over their transaction. But for one Aritzia customer, a return was anything but easy.
Alanis Koberlein (@alaniskay14) posted a video that received more than 717,000 views. In it, she describes how she tried to return a dress to Aritzia, only to be denied a full return to her card. The reason, she said, was because of a hidden catch in the retailer’s return policy.
