Like, no way,'” Hauldren recalled. “I, like, had to do my research for myself.”Sure enough, it was true. Hauldren confirmed the authenticity of the moment through a…
The world’s largest sporting event — the FIFA World Cup — is coming to the United States in 2026, and Santa Clara is one of the only cities not breaking the bank to prepare, a data analysis by San José Spotlight shows.

Nearly all of the 11 U.S. host cities have spent or are planning to spend millions upgrading their stadiums and improving other infrastructure ahead of the games, but Santa Clara’s Measure J from 20210 protects the city’s general fund.

While cramming for finals, one Western Massachusetts teenager offered her classmate Adderall — a pill she got from a mutual connection on social media. She said she trusted him.“This really helps,” the teen told her friend. “Trust me.” But the pill wasn’t Adderall. It was a fake pill laced with fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid. And she was later found unconscious. Luckily, the scenario was a video created by Hampden District Attorney Youth Advisory Board. It’s called “You Can’t Study if you Don’t Wake Up.” But it’s a real issue facing teens — and adults — today. In 2021, 19-year-old…

For the past 50 years, America’s dreams of space exploration have been stymied by NASA’s failure to build an affordable, reliable launch system. Today, the private sector builds rockets faster, cheaper, and better. Getty Images Ending the agency’s sclerotic rocket-building program will be the first of many challenges facing Jared Isaacman, President Trump’s nominee to be NASA administrator, who is expected to be confirmed.

Only the Rockies could find a way to somehow fail sideways. The baseball wonks up in the Grading The Week offices have been trying to find a foothold to cling to during this already-lost Rox season. When you’re 6-26 as of Saturday morning, that’s a mighty slippery slope. One that’s made even dicier by the fact that the Rockies, who were on a pace to lose 132 games after Friday night’s defeat in San Francisco, aren’t even eligible to parlay all this awful into the No. 1 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Or the third pick. Or even the…
