The remains of a woman killed in a Brampton collision over the weekend were not discovered until after her family reported her missing hours later, and the vehicle she was in had already been taken to a towing yard, police say.
...
“In the hours after the collision, we received reports of a missing 20-year-old woman whose last known location, confirmed through a shared tracking app, was the crash site. Officers simultaneously checked the crash scene and attended the impound yard to determine whether evidence of a passenger existed,” Bell-Morena told CP24 in that aforementioned email.
“Officers closely examined the rear passenger compartment of the demolished Honda Civic and located the remains of the deceased woman embedded in the wreckage, at which point, we requested the assistance of BFES for her extrication with the use of specialized equipment.” | |

In July, the Guardian reported that the NWSL had quietly allowed its policy on the participation of transgender players, established in 2021, to expire. The scrapped policy used the testosterone levels of transgender players to determine their eligibility to play in the league. In the same article, the Guardian revealed that this lack of an official policy was being eyed by conservative lobbying groups seeking to exclude transgender women from the league entirely.
What that story didn’t anticipate, however, was that a player from inside the league would take up the cause. In an Oct. 26 social media post that was republished the next day as an editorial by the New York Post, Angel City benchwarmer Elizabeth Eddy criticized the NWSL’s lack of gender eligibility policy. She suggested the league should adopt standards like requiring players to have ovaries, or to undergo genetic testing. She wrote that players who those policies would exclude should be forced to play in separate divisions and leagues. Eddy, who began her NWSL career in 2015, played a grand total of zero minutes in 2025 and 87 minutes total in the two years prior—the fact that the Post called her an “Angel City FC star” is a level of truth-bending that should cast serious doubt on the integrity of the editorial.
Racism, transphobia’s close cousin, is never far behind in situations like this, and the Post gave the game away with the photo it chose to pair with Eddy’s editorial. The article featured a photo of Orlando Pride striker Barbra Banda, a cisgender woman whose status as one of the best players in the world has made her a target for transphobes and racists. She was previously barred from participating in the Africa Cup of Nations for allegedly failing the type of bogus “gender verification” test that Eddy wants implemented in the NWSL. Her agent maintains that she never took such a test. | |

The subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) is one of the few regions where the deep ocean is in direct contact with the atmosphere, making it a key location for interior ocean ventilation through gas exchange. We use a novel observation-based data product to analyze large-scale patterns of the air-sea flux of oxygen, finding a mean annual flux of 48.1 ± 14.6 Tmol year − 1 from the atmosphere into the ocean integrated over the SPNA ( 45 ° N– 65 ° N). An analysis of a fully-closed oxygen budget from the data-assimilative ECCO-Darwin ocean biogeochemistry model suggests that the net uptake is counteracted by oxygen removal through ocean circulation and mixing. Over an annual cycle, a SPNA oxygen uptake of 63.6 ± 13.8 Tmol at densities greater than 26.7 kg m − 3 drives a wintertime oxygen increase in corresponding mode and deep water layers. 87% of this net annual uptake occurs in the density range of subpolar mode water (SPMW), 26.7 kg m − 3 ≤ σ θ < 27.63 kg m − 3 , in the upper branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Our results demonstrate that oxygen is injected during mode water formation throughout the subpolar gyre's cyclonic pathway from the North Atlantic Current toward the Labrador Sea. Along this path, SPMW becomes progressively denser and more oxygenated, and is ultimately transformed into Labrador Sea Water which exports the accumulated oxygen to the global ocean in the lower branch of the AMOC. | |

If you just skimmed the press release, you wouldn’t really get the scale of it. On Monday, Vogue.com announced that Teen Vogue would be folded into its parent publication — part of a “transition, in which Teen Vogue will keep its unique editorial identity and mission.”
That’s Condé Nast-ese for “we’re laying off nearly the entire team and stripping the publication for parts.”
Nearly all of my former colleagues — including all but one woman of color and the only trans staffer — were let go. The identity and politics sections, which covered reproductive rights, LGBTQ issues, campus organizing, state and national politics, the labor movement, education, and more were folded. The art team was decimated. The editor in chief was pushed out. The Black women editors behind some of the most popular franchises developed for the style and culture sections were laid off. The only issues name-checked as ones that will continue to be covered when Teen Vogue is subsumed into Vogue’s flagship website are “career development” and “cultural leadership.” | |
