Joel Quenneville was reinstated by the NHL in 2024.

At one point, Cunningham triumphantly declares that he's "starting new pages in the recipe niche" and wants "to disrupt that whole industry" because, in his telling, it's "ripe for the taking." "Going back to the AI recipes, do you know if they actually work?" someone asks Cunningham later in the clip. "Of course they work. ChatGPT told me they work," Cunningham, who looks genuinely baffled by the question, responds. "What kind of question is that?"

Robert Prevost, an missionary who spent his career ministering in Peru and took over the Vatican’s powerful office of bishops, was elected the first pope from the United States in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church. Prevost, a 69-year-old member of the Augustinian religious order, took the name Leo XIV. In his first words as Pope Francis’ successor, uttered from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, Leo said, “Peace be with you,” and emphasized a message of peace, dialogue and missionary evangelization. He wore the traditional red cape of the papacy — a cape that Francis had eschewed on his election in 2013. Prevost had been a leading candidate for the papacy except, but there had long been a taboo against a U.S. pope, given the country’s geopolitical power already wielded in the secular sphere. But Prevost, a Chicago native, was seemingly eligible because he’s also a Peruvian citizen and lived for years in Peru, first as a missionary and then as an archbishop.

Imagine getting dressed up in your finest for a fantasy-themed ball, only to find yourself standing on the concrete floor of a massive, nearly empty convention hall, decorated only with a few rose petals. Welcome to A Million Lives Book Festival. What was billed as a romantasy BookTok convention for indie authors and book fans is now being compared to infamous event flops like Fyre Festival and DashCon, after a flood of social media posts from attendees painted a picture of a confusing and disappointing event. Some authors say they're out thousands of dollars after carting books and merchandise to Baltimore, Md., for the event, which was held May 2 to 3 at the Baltimore Convention Center, and not being able to recoup the costs. Pitched as "the perfect event to make more bookish friends" on organizer Archer Management's website, the festival was supposed to include a vendor hall, panels, a content creation room, cosplay meetups and a competition, as well as a fantasy ball for those who bought VIP tickets at $250 US each.

An Ohio traffic stop took a turn for the strange this week when a pet raccoon was found playing with an alleged “meth pipe” inside the vehicle, police say. In body-camera footage published by Storyful on Wednesday, Springfield Township Police Department officer Austin Branham is seen conducting a search of a vehicle when he suddenly breaks into breathless laughter. Inside the car, a live raccoon is sitting calmly by the steering wheel, fussing with an object in its hands. Branham turns to another officer standing a few feet away, incredulous. “Come here,” he is heard saying. “The raccoon has her meth pipe.”

Pro-crypto senators are poised to pass a stablecoin bill, while failing to crack down on the Trump organization issuing one to collect payments from foreign governments.

According to the newspaper, US spy agencies were told to focus efforts on the semi-autonomous country's independence movement, and American goals to extract mineral resources there.

It's the worst fighting in more than two decades between the nuclear-armed enemies.

Our state surgeon general is once again doing his best to make Florida sicker.

Last month, a Department of Government Efficiency aide at the nation’s consumer watchdog agency was told by ethics attorneys that he held stock in companies that employees are forbidden from owning — and was advised not to participate in any actions that could benefit him personally, according to a person familiar with the warning. But days later, court records show, Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old software engineer who has been detailed to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since early March, went ahead and participated in mass layoffs at the agency anyway, including the firings of the ethics lawyers who had warned him.

Four members said they were informed of the termination Friday, but it had already taken effect in late March, according to a CDC letter.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Two Belgian teenagers found with 5,000 ants in Kenya were given a choice of paying a fine of US$7,700 or serving 12 months in prison — the minimum penalty for the offense — for violating wildlife conservation laws. Authorities said the ants were destined for European and Asian markets in an emerging trend of trafficking lesser-known wildlife species. Belgian nationals Lornoy David and Seppe Lodewijckx, both 19 years old, were arrested on April 5 with 5,000 ants at a guest house in Nakuru county, which is home to various national parks. They were charged on April 15. Magistrate Njeri Thuku, sitting at the court in Kenya’s main airport on Wednesday, said in her ruling that despite the teenagers telling the court they were naïve and collecting the ants as a hobby, the particular species of ants they collected is valuable and they had thousands of them — not just a few.

A Kentucky woman was in a sticky mess when she found stacks of boxes containing lollipops on her front doorstep. The surprise delivery was ordered by her young son while he played on her phone. Holly LaFavers says she tried stopping 8-year-old Liam’s Amazon order for about 70,000 Dum-Dum suckers before the treats arrived, but it was too late. Amazon had already delivered 22 cases to her home.

It is a true city-dweller skill to be capable of walking while simultaneously engaging in conversation, scanning the pavement ahead and being prepared, with the stealth of an assassin, to sidestep, dive, or change course at a mere moment’s notice. Abandoned dog mess on urban streets is an issue common in cities across the world, but in Vancouver, the obstacle course that awaits unsuspecting pedestrians is unique in that there’s an extra layer of difficulty not typically found elsewhere. As public defecation in the city reaches new heights, residents, business owners and Business Improvement Areas leaders are calling for action that goes beyond the routine clean-ups.

Christopher Pelkey was killed in a road rage incident in Chandler in 2021, but last month, artificial intelligence brought him back to life during his killer’s sentencing hearing.

Last week a video went viral of a woman at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota calling an autistic 5-year-old boy a n*****. When she was identified, instead of expressing contrition she doubled down, launching a fundraiser on GiveSendGo (a website touted as the “Christian” alternative to Go Fund Me) to “protect her family”. She has, as of this writing, raised over $700,000. Many of the donors have usernames like “Adolf”, “The fourteen words” and “Fig R Naggot”. It appears that in the United States in 2025, calling a little kid a slur is an infinite wealth hack. While the right wing lavishing morally repugnant people with money is nothing new, it does feel like a few short years ago conservatives would’ve felt pressure to condemn this. Not anymore. Not only are random internet Nazis making this woman rich, right wing pundits are expressing support for her. Something hideous that was always under the surface in the American political body has finally been unleashed, mask off, with no fear for consequences. Since this story aired, I have been asking myself what kind of society we live in where something like this could happen. Where racists are completely unafraid to be racist and where you can get rich by being the most despicable type of person alive. Where sitting congressmen can openly call for Gaza to starve. Where attacking vulnerable trans kids can make you famous. The tenuous social fabric that we once had doesn’t actually seem to exist at all. There is no concept of a social contract. We don’t believe we have any responsibility to each other. We do not work together. We have no shared identity. We have no common goals. Simply put, we do not live in a society.
