The Brewer settlement covers anyone in the US who used CVS.com, CVSHealth.com or the CVS app at any point before 27 July 2026. There is no purchase requirement, which makes this one of the widest consumer classes open right now.
Trending
The Kirkbride settlement covers people who filled a prescription at a Kroger-owned pharmacy using insurance between 9 December 2018 and 23 August 2026. The counter-intuitive part is that Savings Club members are the comparison, not the class.
Trending
Tyson, Hormel, Seaboard, Clemens and Triumph will pay a combined $117,065,000 to settle indirect-purchaser price-fixing claims. Shoppers in 24 states and DC who bought raw pork between June 2014 and June 2018 can claim without a single receipt.
Trending
Forty property managers have settled claims that RealPage's pricing software was used to inflate rents. The class runs from 18 October 2018 to 21 November 2025, claims close on 29 January 2027, and there is a searchable property list.
Trending
The Brooks settlement covers about 57,000 people whose TransUnion credit reports carried bankruptcy remarks with no matching public bankruptcy record. One group is paid automatically; filing a claim raises the payment substantially. The deadline is 30 October 2026.
Trending
The Burke settlement covers surcharges paid at independent, non-bank ATMs between 24 October 2007 and 14 August 2026. Claims are open now and close on 10 February 2027. No receipts are required, which matters because almost nobody keeps 19 years of ATM slips.

John Ternus took over as chief executive on 1 September. His first product launch is eight days later, and it is not a quiet one: the iPhone 18 Pro line, a first foldable iPhone, two Apple Watches and new AirPods are all expected. Here is the timing, what is expected, and what the schedule itself tells you.
Trending
The form uses your 2025 tax return, so nothing is waiting on paperwork. The federal deadline is genuinely June 2028, and it is close to meaningless: state and college deadlines fall months earlier and much of the aid is allocated until it runs out. Here is what to do in September, before the form even opens.
Trending
The adjustment is set by CPI-W across July, August and September, so two of the three months are already in the books. Estimates cluster around 3.2 to 3.6 per cent. The part that decides what actually lands in your account is what happens to the Medicare Part B premium, which is deducted before the payment reaches you.
Trending
A 20-page anonymous complaint released by Senator Blumenthal’s office calls the Postal Service’s plans secretive, rushed and fundamentally flawed, warning of a catastrophic failure in November. A court order last week removes the immediate compulsion. Both facts belong in the same sentence, and most coverage carries only one.
Trending
Enhanced premium tax credits expired on 1 January 2026 and average marketplace premium payments rose 114%. The change most people have not registered is structural: the hard cut-off at 400% of the poverty line has returned, so earning slightly more can remove the subsidy entirely rather than reducing it.
Trending
The 60th CMA Awards nominations arrive on 10 September. A selection of categories goes out on Good Morning America; the rest follow on a livestream, which is where the majority of the list actually appears. Here is the split, and where Entertainer of the Year currently sits.
Trending
Curtis said on a podcast on 31 August that the two have been together for a year and a half. Most coverage stops at “hypnotherapist”, which is the least informative word available. His working life runs through the stock market, a run of large health publishers, and two books.
Trending
A tropical storm is in the Gulf, the seasonal outlook gives a 75% chance of below-normal activity, and September is the climatological peak. All three are true at once. Seasonal forecasts count storms across an ocean; they do not forecast landfall, and the year that produced Hurricane Andrew was a quiet season.
Trending
The window to change a Medicare Advantage or Part D plan is fixed and short. The mistake that costs people money is not choosing badly — it is doing nothing, because plans renew automatically with next year’s costs and next year’s network. The notice explaining what changed lands in September and most people throw it away.
Trending
The third-quarter payment covers income from June through August. Most freelancers try to forecast a full year of unpredictable income to work out what to send. They do not have to: pay a set percentage of last year’s tax and the underpayment penalty cannot apply, whatever you go on to earn.
Trending
Ford, Honda, BMW, Toyota and Mercedes-Benz all issued large recalls last month, led by 565,691 Broncos. Checking by model is not enough because recalls apply to production ranges, not names. The VIN check is the only reliable method, and the two things almost nobody knows about recall repairs are worth more than the list itself.
Trending
Listeria in ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef, salmonella in jalapeño products and shell eggs, and a positive test in an organic greens powder. Recalled food does not look or smell wrong, which is the entire reason recalls exist — so the only useful check is the label, and here is what to look for on each.
Trending
Payments from the Google Play Store settlement go out through PayPal or Venmo to the contact details on your Play account, with no form to fill in. A settlement that pays itself to a hundred million people is close to a perfect setup for phishing, so the useful thing to know is exactly what a real payment looks like.
Trending
A Louisiana judge has stopped the SEC enforcing penalties against schools that sign affected former professionals, and the conference says it will comply for now. One player could go from NFL preseason to college football in the same year. An injunction is not a ruling on eligibility, and that gap is where the risk sits.
Trending
Anyone who paid for brand-name Chantix between September 2015 and September 2021 can claim. You do not need receipts or a notice ID to submit, which is why the class is enormous. The payment is pro rata against what you actually paid, so pharmacy records are worth digging out even though nobody is demanding them.
Trending
Anyone who paid for YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream between April 2019 and March 2026 can file, no receipts required. The two things keeping people out are both misunderstandings: you do not need a current subscription, and the older DirecTV Now and AT&T TV Now services count too.
Trending
Three settlements are still accepting claims and one of them shuts on 3 September. Each has a different eligibility window, a different payout structure and its own official website. Missing a deadline is permanent, so here is the calendar, the qualifying dates, and the one rule that keeps people out of trouble.
Trending
The index-investing pioneer accepts AI could be an ice-block-to-refrigerator sized advance. He still argues that picking the companies expected to win from it is not a strategy. The reason is the part most people skip: the market has already priced in what everyone expects, so being right about AI is not enough.
Trending
In Britain and its American colonies, Wednesday 2 September 1752 was followed by Thursday 14 September. The eleven days in between do not exist, which is why they are still absent from the calendar on your computer today. The famous mob demanding them back is a good deal shakier than the missing days themselves.

A brush bar that stops while suction continues is almost never a broken motor. It is a safety cut-out responding to a blockage, a wrapped brush, a clogged filter or a low battery. The order you check them in matters, and most people start with the one that is least often the cause.

Glen Powell’s football comedy returns to Hulu this week, and the release format has changed. Season 1 went out weekly; season 2 drops complete on day one. If you were planning to watch an episode a week with everyone else, that is not the show you are getting.

Thompson takes the seat from 1 September while Cowell recovers from a procedure related to his back. Headlines calling it a replacement have people believing Cowell has left the show. He has not, this is not the first time Thompson has covered for him, and the temporary nature of it is the whole story.

Shwin Productions has sued Artists for Artists in Los Angeles, alleging it invested more than $583,000 and was then denied the financial records its agreement entitled it to. Thompson is named in the filing as a co-founder and co-manager. He is not a party to the case, and nothing has been proven.

The book covering the first year of Trump’s second term reached half a million units across hardcover, audio and e-book within a month of publication, putting it on course to be 2026’s bestselling non-fiction title. The number worth noting is not the sales figure but the reporting base underneath it.

Announced in Paris, the CameraJet brushes, water-flosses and rinses, using a camera to find the gaps between teeth and aim a jet at them. Six years, 661 engineers and 38 patents went into it. The detail that decides whether it suits you is not the price — it is that ordinary toothpaste foams, and foam blocks the camera.

Clocks go back an hour on the first Sunday in November. Many states have passed laws to end the switch, and almost none of them can take effect — because federal law lets a state leave daylight saving time but not stay on it. Here are the exact dates and why your state law is sitting dormant.
Trending
Yellow, green and blue are categories of meaning. Purple is usually a category of structure — wordplay, hidden patterns and words deliberately borrowed from the other three so you use them too early. Which is exactly why hunting purple first turns the rest of the grid into a formality.
Trending
Everton want to make last season’s loan permanent. The figures being reported for the same player in the same window run from a nominal sum to twenty million, which is not sloppy journalism — it reflects a genuine uncertainty about what a player with twelve months left is worth to anyone.

California Democrats redrew the two-term congressman’s district, splitting it several ways in what is described as retaliation for Republican map-drawing in Texas and elsewhere. He has left the Republican Party to run as an independent. Democrats call it survival; he has a record of opposing the practice. Both readings are on the table.
Trending
Newly released footage from the 2023 crash that killed newlywed Samantha Miller shows Jamie Komoroski repeatedly declining a breath test and asking to phone her father. She is serving 25 years. The part of this worth understanding is that refusing the test did not keep the reading out of the case, and it rarely does.
Trending
The targeting carryover has been the most argued-about rule in the sport, and it has been softened for a first offence. Offensive pass interference drops to ten yards, punt formations get a numbering restriction, and a scoring play almost nobody has seen is now legal. Here is each change and what it actually does on the field.
Trending
Arsenal arrive as champions for the first time since the Invincibles; Manchester City arrive as FA Cup winners. The match is treated every year as a first read on the season, and the record says it is worse than useless — only one of the past fifteen Shield winners went on to win the Premier League.
Trending
Satellite images from 1–3 August show the Loire, Po, Rhine and Danube shrunk to sandbanks. The figure driving the economic story is a gauge reading in western Germany, and it is widely misread — it is not the depth of the river. Here is what it actually measures and why a nuclear plant on the Danube is in the same story.
Trending
Emanuel has not announced anything, but he has given a date: he and his wife will decide after the November midterms. He has also said being the frontrunner is a “kiss of death”. Both statements are more informative than they look, and so is the problem of sharing a home state with JB Pritzker.
Trending
Bruno Guimarães has left Newcastle, where he was captain, for a fee reported at around £75m. Clubs do not normally spend record money on players at 28, because there is nothing to sell afterwards. Doing it anyway is a statement about what a club thinks its next two seasons are worth.
Trending
Anthony Patterson has left Sunderland for Wrexham on a four-year deal, the biggest fee the club has ever paid. A player moving down a division to join a side trying to come up is not the usual direction of travel, and it says more about where Wrexham now sits than any statement from its owners could.
Trending
The carrier at the centre of US operations against Iran has been continuously at sea for a record stretch with a crew of roughly 5,680. The Centcom commander has now visited twice, a second carrier is heading to the region, and reporting describes conditions and mental health concerns aboard. The detail that explains most of it is the absence of port calls.
Trending
Ken Paxton says God delivered him and wants the Ten Commandments displayed in schools. James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian, calls that display idolatrous and preaches that you cannot love God and hate other people. Neither is arguing that faith should stay out of the campaign. They are arguing about whose reading of it counts.
Trending
Apple has announced nothing: no event, no date, no price. What is reported is a change to how the lineup ships — the Pro, Pro Max and a first foldable in autumn 2026, with the standard iPhone 18 pushed to spring 2027. So the answer to when it arrives depends entirely on which iPhone 18 you mean.
Trending
Departures at the Halo developer surfaced through LinkedIn posts rather than an announcement. One account describes them as routine contractor transitions after a game ships; the studio sits inside an Xbox restructuring that still has roughly 1,600 more roles to remove. Both can be true, and the difference decides how worried anyone should be.
Trending
The stage musical transfers to Theatre Royal Drury Lane after a sold-out world premiere in Bristol, with Oliver Tompsett and Samantha Barks leading and Casey Nicholaw directing. Pasek and Paul have written five new songs for the stage. Exact dates are not set and tickets are not on sale — which matters, because plenty of sites will happily take your money anyway.

Search for when the live-action Moana streams and you will be given 7 October, or 16 October, or early September. Disney has confirmed none of them. All of those figures come from the same two industry conventions, and once you know what they are you can judge any date you see — including the ones on this page.

Pixar’s sequel goes to digital platforms on 18 August 2026, to disc on 22 September, and to Disney+ on a date nobody has announced. Those are three different releases and only one of them is included in a subscription you may already be paying for. Here is what each one actually gets you.
Trending
Pixar has dated the sequel, handed the leading roles to Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack, and given them a specific problem: they are sneaking out at night to protect the city and hiding it from their parents. The premise is the original film turned inside out, and the decision not to age the characters up is what makes it work.
Trending
Photographed leaving a London club in a lavender minidress, Swift appeared with her most significant hair change in years: long hair traded for a shoulder-length cut. The blunt bangs stayed. It was her first public sighting in the month since her wedding to Travis Kelce, and a day after he first spoke about it.
Trending
Cleveland’s first unofficial depth chart of the preseason lists two quarterbacks as QB1 joined by the word OR. Fans read it as the team dodging the question. In depth-chart convention it is a specific statement with a specific meaning — and the plan to give each man one preseason start tells you exactly how the decision gets made.
Trending
Pixar revealed the sequel at D23: Miguel is now a teenager and, in the studio’s own word, a menace, and Ernesto de la Cruz returns seeking revenge, sending them back to the Land of the Dead. Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina return, Benjamin Bratt reprises Ernesto, and the premise sits directly on top of the rule the original film built its ending on.
Trending
Disney set a date and showed first footage at D23: Teagan Croft as Rapunzel, Milo Manheim as Flynn Rider, Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel, and the Stabbington brothers played by real twins. Diego Luna is confirmed in the cast with no character announced — which in a remake of a story everyone already knows is the only genuinely open question.
Trending
Marvel Studios revealed seven casting decisions for its X-Men reboot at D23, alongside a director and a release date of 5 May 2028. Here is the full confirmed list, who each character is for anyone who has not read the comics, and the significant absence — Wolverine was not among them.
Trending
Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino took the D23 stage to confirm the sequel, the returning cast and the premise. What most coverage buries is that principal photography began on 8 June 2026 and is done. A sequel with no date is usually a sequel that may not happen; this one is finished and waiting for a slot — on Hulu and Disney+, not in cinemas.
Trending
Warner Bros has never announced a Cursed Child film, and the studio’s screen plan for Harry Potter is a television series at HBO covering the original books. The trailers circulating with a 2026 date and the original cast attached are not from Warner Bros. Here is what has been announced, what has not, and how the two got confused.
Trending
The two schools have agreed a four-game series running 2030 to 2033. That is the good news. The part being skipped past is that the rivalry does not resume until then, so 2026 through 2029 have no game at all — and Notre Dame gave up the late-November date it had defended for decades to get the deal done.
Trending
Felton returned to Draco in November 2025 after nearly fifteen years, in his Broadway debut and as the first actor from the Harry Potter films to join the stage production. His run has been extended more than once. The newly announced end date is billed as the final extension, which is the part that changes how you should treat it.

Every few days another court decision is reported as though it settles Temporary Protected Status. It does not. TPS is designated and terminated country by country, each with its own date and its own litigation. Here is where each designation stood as of 14 August 2026, what the June Supreme Court decision changed, and why the only status that counts for you is the one on your USCIS notice.

The Bachelor in Paradise star says a very low grade astrocytoma was fully removed after a craniotomy on 5 August, that his prognosis is fairly good, and that he will take a pill for life. He found it on an elective full-body MRI he had no symptoms for. Radiologists do not recommend those scans for people without symptoms — and the numbers behind that position are worth seeing before you book one.

Ash from Mount Etna has closed Sicily’s busiest airport in the worst disruption Catania has seen in at least two decades. Volcanic ash counts as an extraordinary circumstance, so the EU261 cash payout does not apply. What does still apply, with no time limit and no cost ceiling, is the airline’s duty to feed and accommodate you — a court settled that in 2013 and airlines rarely lead with it.
Trending
The Seinfeld actor says he agrees a 2012 sketch filmed when Courtney Stodden was 17 was inappropriate and that he regrets it. Stodden’s reply was that she hopes it becomes more than words — because the part of her story that shaped everything else was never illegal at all. She was married at 16 to a 51-year-old, and marriage under 18 remains lawful in 33 US states.

Disney showed the first Frozen 3 footage at its D23 showcase: Anna and Kristoff’s wedding, a mysterious stone, a new villain and a love interest for Olaf named Samantha. It was shown to a room and never posted online. So anything you can actually press play on right now did not come from Disney — here is how to tell, and what was really in the footage.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s mother says the estate dispute with his widow has been resolved, with a settlement awaiting court approval that directs most of the estate to his nine-year-old daughter. The claim turned on a 2022 premarital agreement requiring a $1 million life insurance policy that was intended but never finalised — a gap that outlives the person who left it.

Pocketpair’s head of publishing asked players what they wanted in Palworld 1.1, then had to clarify within a day that a new continent or twenty more levels is not what the update will be. No date has been given. The scope decision that came out of it tells you more about when to expect it than a date would.

A scooper has described an opening sequence Marvel is said to have planned for Avengers: Doomsday, pitting Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man against the X-Men. That is a claim about a plan, from one insider, and it is not the same as casting. Marvel’s own cast page for the film does not list him. Here is exactly what was said, by whom, and what would count as actual confirmation.
Trending
Variety reports that Warner Bros has made more than six offers for a Barbie sequel over three years, all rejected, with Ryan Gosling said to be seeking $20 million and Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig wanting higher fees plus expanded back-end participation. The part that turns a negotiation into a deadline: if no deal is signed by December, the rights revert to Mattel.
Trending
Atletico Madrid have rejected Barcelona’s reported $116 million approach for Julian Alvarez, and Fabrizio Romano reports Barcelona have added Sporting CP’s Luis Suarez to their shortlist. The difference between the two targets is not the price. It is that one has a release clause and the other does not, and in Spain that is the whole transfer market in one sentence.
Trending
ESPN reports that multiple sources around the league suggest the recently retired Chris Paul could take a role in the Los Angeles Lakers front office. Nothing is confirmed by the club, by Paul or by incoming owners Bob Iger and Josh Kushner. What makes it worth noting is the history: in December 2011 the league itself vetoed the trade that would have made him a Laker, the only vetoed trade in NBA history.

Pro Hockey Rumors lists the New York Rangers, Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights as suitors for Evander Kane, who last played for Vancouver and put up 31 points with 92 penalty minutes in 2025-26. NHL free agency opens on 1 July and the market clears in days. Still being available six weeks later is not a small detail, and it tells you what kind of contract is actually on the table.
Trending
MLB has confirmed the Kansas City Royals will host the Boston Red Sox at the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa on Thursday 12 August 2027, exclusively on NBC Sports. Ticket details for 2027 have not been released. In previous years the ballot was open to Iowa residents only, which is the part worth knowing a year out.

LSU has announced the death of Skip Bertman on Friday morning at the age of 88. He took over the baseball programme in 1984, won five national championships, reached the College World Series eleven times and finished with 870 wins at a .724 rate, then served as the university’s athletic director. The full record, and what those numbers actually represent.

Klay Thompson is in the final year of the three-year deal he signed with Dallas in 2024, at roughly $17.5 million, and the Mavericks are reported to prefer a trade to a buyout. That expiring number is what makes him move, not the comment about wanting to compete for a championship that is currently being read as a trade request.

The 2026-27 NBA schedule puts Walker Kessler back in Salt Lake City on Sunday 25 October. The more useful question is what Utah actually received: two unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and swap rights in 2028 and 2030, in a sign-and-trade that also attached a four-year deal reported at $130 million and a trade restriction running to November 2027.

Cameron Brink exited the fourth quarter of the Sparks’ 13 August game against the New York Liberty after taking a hit to the ribs from Breanna Stewart, on a play ruled an offensive foul. She did not return. No diagnosis, no imaging result and no timeline have been announced. Here is what is actually confirmed, why rib injuries in particular resist a same-night answer, and when the team is next obliged to say something.

The WBO has designated Janibek Alimkhanuly as mandatory challenger to Hamzah Sheeraz at super middleweight, with twenty days to agree terms before the fight goes to purse bids. That order has been issued once already. In 2024 it collapsed and both fighters took other bouts, which is why the twenty-day clock, not the announcement, is the part worth watching.

The FDA approved Moderna’s mFLUSIVA on 5 August 2026, the first influenza vaccine to use mRNA. Approval and availability are not the same thing: the advisory committee whose recommendation normally triggers no-cost insurance coverage has not met in 2026, and its next scheduled meeting is in October. Here is who the approval covers, what the evidence actually showed for each age group, and what has to happen before you can walk into a pharmacy and get one.

Claims in the $35 million Labcorp settlement close on 3 September 2026, but being a Labcorp patient is not what puts you in the class. The test is whether Labcorp passed your details to a collections agency called AMCA before March 2019. Here is how to work out whether that happened to you, what to do if you never received the notice or cannot find your Class Member ID, and why the two payment routes are a choice rather than a total.
Trending
Claims in the Fanatics handling fee settlement close on 27 August 2026 at handlingfeesettlement.com, and several aggregator sites are publishing a deadline of 22 October, which would cause people to miss it by two months. The recovery is also not what most coverage suggests: there is no cash. Class members receive two $5 vouchers redeemable only at Fanatics.com, single-use, expiring after twelve months, and expressly not usable together on one purchase.

Claims in the Lands’ End data settlement close on 22 October 2026 at landsenddatasettlement.com, offering an expected $60 cash payment with no documentation, up to $5,000 for documented losses, and two years of credit monitoring that must be claimed rather than arriving automatically. The detail that will waste a great many people’s time: the December 2024 incident involved data belonging to current and former employees and their dependants, not customers who shopped on the website.

Anyone in the United States who entered menstruation or pregnancy information into the Flo Period and Ovulation Tracker app between 1 November 2016 and 28 February 2019 can claim a share of $59.5 million until 15 October 2026, with no receipts, screenshots or app records required. Two things get lost in most coverage: California class members are allocated twice the share of everyone else, and Meta is not part of this settlement at all — it went to trial separately, so this is only the settling defendants’ money.

Claims in the Google Assistant privacy settlement must be filed by 27 August 2026 at googleassistantprivacylitigation.com. A great deal of coverage says the privacy side of the claim needs no proof, only a sworn statement. The official claim form says otherwise: it requires the device type, model name and the serial number or IMEI of the Google Assistant device in your household. There is also a three-device cap that almost nobody mentions, which quietly limits what anyone can claim no matter how many Google devices they own.

Comcast’s $117.5 million data breach settlement is open to current and former Xfinity customers who were notified in December 2023, with a claim deadline of 14 September 2026 at ComcastBreachSettlement.com. Nearly all coverage quotes the $50 alternative cash payment and stops there. In fact you can also claim $30 an hour for up to five hours of time spent protecting yourself — another $150, and it requires only a written explanation rather than documents. Lost the email with your Settlement Member ID? There is a lookup form.

Google and AdMob have agreed an $8,250,000 settlement over allegations that they collected the personal information of children under 13 through Google Play apps without consent, in breach of COPPA. Claims must be filed by 14 September 2026 at COPPAPrivacyClassAction.com. The eligibility rule that most coverage blurs: it is your age when you used the app, not your age today — so an adult in their twenties who used Google Play apps as a child from April 2015 onwards is covered. Between 3.8 and 10 million people may qualify, which is also why nobody can tell you the payout in advance.

Take-Two chief executive Strauss Zelnick told Variety a digital-only Grand Theft Auto VI was “not the plan” and told CNBC in March there would be a physical release with “a big physical component”. The Ultimate Edition box arriving on 19 November contains a download code and no disc. On Take-Two’s earnings call on 7 August, Zelnick defended it: discs “don’t really make sense” and this is “where the world is going”. The technical claims hold up. What changes is what you own — a code is a licence, and a licence cannot be resold, lent or kept.

The 10-year Treasury yield fell sharply to around 4.6% after the July employment report showed the US economy shed 23,000 jobs against expectations of a gain. Two things about that sentence are widely misunderstood: a falling yield means investors were buying, not selling, and it is the 10-year Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve’s policy rate that mortgage rates actually track. Which produces the strangest rule in personal finance — bad news about the economy is usually good news for anyone about to borrow.

Provisional CDC surveillance counted more than 3,000 clinical cases of the drug-resistant yeast Candida auris across at least 23 states as of 18 July 2026, and the headlines describe a deadly fungus spreading across America. The organism is genuinely serious and genuinely hard to treat, but it is a healthcare pathogen rather than a community one: it is not airborne, and people without healthcare risk factors generally do not become infected or colonised. Here is what it actually is, who is at risk, and why the widely quoted 30 to 60 per cent death rate needs a caveat.
Trending
The July employment report landed at 8:30am Eastern on Friday 7 August with two figures that appear to contradict each other: payrolls fell by 23,000 when economists had expected a gain of roughly 80,000 to 95,000, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% from 4.2%. Both are accurate, because they come from two entirely separate surveys — one of employers, one of households — and because the unemployment rate only counts people who are still actively looking for work.

Ellar Coltrane was filmed for a few weeks a year between May 2002 and August 2013 so that Richard Linklater could watch a boy actually grow up on screen. He is now 31, does manual labour, volunteers as a firefighter and is working towards an EMT licence, and told Variety he is “pretty far away from film”. Boyhood is back in more than 100 cinemas across the US and Canada this month for its twelfth anniversary — which means the film has now been in the world for exactly as long as it took to make.

A total solar eclipse crosses Siberia, eastern Greenland, western Iceland, northern Spain and a corner of Portugal on 12 August 2026. Totality never reaches the United States. From Alaska to North Carolina it is a partial eclipse, with the best-placed lower-48 states — Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont — seeing roughly 15 to 28 per cent coverage. In Maine it runs from about 12:43pm to about 2:52pm EDT with maximum near 1:52pm. Because there is no totality over the US, eclipse glasses are required for every second of it.

The Detroit Lions have made Jahmyr Gibbs the highest-paid running back in NFL history on a three-year extension. Depending on which outlet you read, that deal is worth $75.75 million, $67.5 million or $51.5 million — and all three figures are accurate, because they measure different things. The headline number includes incentives that may never be earned, the middle figure is the contract value, and only the smallest is guaranteed. Here is what separates them, and why NFL contracts work this way when NBA and MLB deals do not.

Louisiana has recorded at least nine Vibrio vulnificus infections in 2026 and five deaths, against a ten-year average of about seven cases and one death a year. Every patient was hospitalised and every one had an underlying health condition. The detail most coverage buries: the bacterium reaches people two ways — through an open wound exposed to seawater, and through raw or undercooked oysters. Two of this year’s deaths were linked to eating contaminated raw oysters.

Two-term Republican Andy Ogles lost Tennessee’s Fifth District primary on 6 August 2026 to former state Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, 53.2% to 46.8% with 81% of ballots counted. Most coverage leads on the failed Trump endorsement. The more mechanical explanation is in the map: redistricting rebuilt the Fifth so that it runs from central Tennessee to the state’s north-western corner and then south along the Mississippi to Memphis, leaving 82% of its voters people Ogles had never represented.

The Farmers’ Almanac has published its 2026–27 winter outlook: a season of sharp contrasts, an active southern storm track, quick bursts of snow and bitter cold across the North, and a difficult mix of rain, sleet, ice and heavy wet snow in the Northeast. Three things almost every share of it leaves out — the driver this year is El Niño rather than La Niña, there are two different almanacs with near-identical names publishing different forecasts, and an academic comparison of five years of monthly forecasts against recorded weather found roughly 51% accuracy against the publication’s claimed 80%.

Jimmy Horn Jr. caught a pass in the third quarter of the Hall of Fame Game and was overthrown wide open in the end zone just before half-time, in a game Carolina won 33–30 on a five-yard run with no time left. He is a Carolina Panthers wide receiver out of Colorado, taken 208th overall in the sixth round of the 2025 draft — 206 picks after his team-mate Travis Hunter went second. At 5ft 10in and 170lb he is one of the lightest players in the NFL, and the head coach who drafted him spent a career developing exactly that build.

Labor Day 2026 falls on Monday 7 September. The first parade was held on a Tuesday — 5 September 1882 in New York City — and by 1894 thirty states had adopted the first Monday in September. Congress made it federal that year, six days after the Pullman Railroad Strike ended, keeping September rather than 1 May because May Day already belonged to more radical labour movements the government wanted distance from. Plus the real story behind not wearing white afterwards.

Pharmacies start offering flu shots in August, but the CDC target window is mid-September through October, and adults aged 65 and over are advised not to be vaccinated in July or August at all. The reason is measurable: protection begins to fade roughly six weeks after the shot, and flu does not peak until December through February. Get it too soon and the protection thins out before the season it was meant to cover.

Texas, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Iowa and Illinois all hold back-to-school sales tax holidays on 7–9 August 2026, with Massachusetts, Maryland and Connecticut following. Three rules catch people out every year: the price cap applies per item rather than per receipt, an item one cent over the cap is taxed on its full price rather than the excess, and in Texas delivery and shipping charges count toward the threshold — so $95 jeans with $10 postage make a $105 purchase that is fully taxable.

The climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is 10 September, with most activity falling between mid-August and mid-October. There were no active storms in the Atlantic when this was written, but the quiet stretch is ending. The detail worth knowing before it does: a hurricane watch gives 48 hours and a warning gives 36, and both are counted to the arrival of tropical-storm-force winds — 39 mph, not 74 — because preparation becomes impossible once those winds arrive.

West Nile virus is entering its peak transmission season, and 2026 has had its earliest start in over two decades. About 8 in 10 infected people have no symptoms at all, roughly 1 in 5 get a fever, and about 1 in 150 develop severe neuroinvasive illness. That last figure explains a number that confuses everyone: 38 of the first 48 reported cases this year were the severe form — not because the virus usually attacks the brain, but because the reported count only captures people sick enough to be tested.

Twelve Red Flag Warnings and seven Fire Weather Watches are active across the United States this morning. A Red Flag Warning does not mean a fire is burning or that one is expected — it is a weather warning about how fast a fire would spread if one started. And there is no single national criteria: each National Weather Service office sets its own wind and humidity thresholds for the terrain it covers, so a Red Flag Warning in Denver is different weather from one in New York.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Game kicks off the 2026 NFL preseason tonight, Cardinals against Panthers at 8pm ET on NBC from Canton, Ohio. The statistics are recorded as official preseason numbers, but nothing from tonight enters a player’s career totals, the standings, playoff seeding or draft order. Two things do carry over permanently: injuries and roster spots. Plus why Arizona and Carolina get four preseason games instead of three, and why the game is played in Canton at all.

Los Angeles County health officials say anyone who was at Universal Studios Hollywood between 10am and 9pm on Sunday 26 July may have been exposed to measles, and should watch for symptoms through 16 August. A person with measles is contagious for four days before the rash appears and four days after — which means the most infectious half of that window looks like an ordinary cold. Here is the CDC timeline day by day, what two MMR doses actually protect against, and the one thing to do before walking into a clinic.

Landman season 3 will not air in 2026. Filming now starts in September 2026 and runs into the first quarter of 2027, which puts the premiere in late winter or early spring 2027.

After the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs 6-3 in Learning Resources v. Trump on 20 February 2026, the administration has refunded roughly $100 billion of the about $166 billion collected. A federal judge ordered the money returned to importers, and only the importer of record can claim it through the Customs and Border Protection system. Households that absorbed higher prices have no route to a refund, because importers, not exporting countries, pay tariffs in the first place.

Salad and Go filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed all of its locations, with the final day of trading on 5 August 2026. The chain began in Gilbert, Arizona in 2013 and grew to more than 70 stores across Arizona and Nevada. For customers holding gift cards the legal position is harsh: cardholders are unsecured creditors, the lowest priority in a bankruptcy, and a company can only keep honouring cards if the bankruptcy court allows it.

Marine One is the call sign of any United States Marine Corps aircraft carrying the president, not a particular helicopter. It is flown by Marine Helicopter Squadron One, HMX-1, nicknamed the Nighthawks, using VH-3D Sea King, VH-92A Patriot and VH-60N White Hawk airframes. As many as five identical helicopters fly together and shift position after takeoff to disguise which one holds the president.

Lockland High School in Ohio cancelled its 2026 varsity football season after only 15 players came out over the summer. Football fields 11 players a side, so 15 sounds survivable until you look at what a season actually demands: no substitutes, players going both ways for four quarters, no cover for injury and no way to run a full-team practice. Nationally the picture is the opposite of decline: US high school football participation has risen in three of the past four years.

The 2026 Perseid meteor shower peaks late on 12 August into the predawn hours of 13 August, with the precise maximum predicted for 14:53 UTC on 13 August. The moon is new on 12 August and 0% illuminated on peak night, so there is essentially no moonlight to wash the meteors out. Under a dark sky observers frequently report 90 or more meteors an hour, with the midnight-to-dawn window the best. No telescope is needed.

The Phoenix Dust Storm Scale, or PHX-DUST, ranks dust storms from Category 1 to Category 5 using average dust concentration over a one-hour period, with Category 5 covering readings of 5,000 micrograms per cubic metre and above. Letter codes add detail: W for widespread, I for isolated, L for long duration, S for short, H for high wind gusts. It was developed by 22 researchers led by Arizona State University and published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Crucially it is applied after a storm, not as a warning.

Opponents argued it shifted the burden from income tax paid largely by the wealthiest onto a broadened sales tax. Nine states still levy no broad personal income tax.

A heat advisory is the lowest level of National Weather Service heat alert, below an extreme heat watch and an extreme heat warning. There is no single national temperature that triggers one: thresholds are set locally, because people acclimatised to hot climates are affected at higher temperatures. In Maine a heat index of 95F for two consecutive hours can trigger an advisory, while parts of Florida require a heat index above 108F. The NWS renamed Excessive Heat Warning to Extreme Heat Warning on 10 March 2025.

If your Walgreens closes and you have not chosen a new pharmacy for Auto Refills, Walgreens says it will automatically fill those prescriptions at another nearby Walgreens. You can pick a different location yourself when refilling online or by calling a nearby store. Walgreens also offers delivery within a 20-mile radius from most pharmacies from as little as $3.99, or shipping from a fulfilment centre at no added cost. Specialty patients get a call from a specialty pharmacist.

Shoplifting is the explanation most people reach for, but the reasons Walgreens itself points to are different: customers shifting to ordering prescriptions and household goods online, and pharmacy reimbursement rates from insurers and pharmacy benefit managers becoming less profitable, which makes filling prescriptions a weaker business than it was. Sycamore Partners took the company private in August 2025 and shifted to closing individual underperformers.

Walgreens now expects to close fewer than 100 stores in 2026, down from internal projections that had been closer to 700.

The confirmed closure list spans at least a dozen states, and Walgreens has not published a full public list of locations.

Designated for assignment means a player is immediately removed from the 40-man roster, after which his club has seven days to return him to the roster, place him on waivers, trade him, release him, or send him outright to the minors.
