DeAndre Demarcus-Rashad Jackson is an amateur astronomer from Ann Arbor, MI who, working jointly with the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy in a groundbreaking  experiment using "angular diffraction telescopy" and "spectral-isotropic particle detection" discovered something about the Milky Way's closest neighbor that may change everything about astronomy as we know it, and possibly our notions of the observable universe.

It was an asteroid mining mission gone awry. 42 years ago, the Russian Space Program launched the spacecraft Vulka carrying 2 kosmonauts to the asteroid belt. The mission was to investigate the mining potential for precious metals and rare-earth materials and report back to Earth. Things began fine as the two kosmonauts managed to locate extraordinary amounts of data. After a slew of technical failures the mission went awry. Vulka stopped transmitting 31 years ago and the astronauts were presumed dead by the international community. The Russian Space program and NASA gave up on hope of ever collecting the data from the missions, or rescuing its' heroes. However with recent advancements in radiosonic technology, a signal was in fact picked up, and spurred an emergency NASA mission to rescue the stranded kosmonauts floating in the asteroid belt. Shacknews has statements from space pilot Dmitri Kuznetsov, the only surviving member of the mission. Mr. Sleepy, Amateur Gaming Journalist reports.

Qanon. The disproven far-right conspiracy theory, alleging that a cabal of satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles, in addition to, even worse, friends of movie director Rian Johnson, are running a global child-sex trafficking ring and plotted against former U.S. president Donald J Trump.  By this point we are all familiar with it. Controversy has sparked amongst believers of the wack-job theory, along with the strange people who enjoy Rian Johnson's movies, as a masked character from Capcom's 1997 coin-operated fighting video game has revealed himself to be the brains behind the operation. Mr. Sleepy reports on behalf of the gaming website Shacknews 

In a controversial decision, Nintendo of America has listed ad-supported versions of the popular dating and hookup apps "Tindr" and "Grindr" on the Nintendo Switch eShop for users above the age of 18.
