Oliver Stark, star of the US drama 9-1-1, broke his ankle this summer while filming a stunt on set, according to Just Jared, which reports additional injuries occurred during production. The news has drawn attention from fans discussing the physical demands placed on the show's cast, who regularly perform action-heavy emergency-rescue sequences.
- 3Critics blast US oil policy as Houthis hit Aramco●While the Houthis are hammering ARAMCO day after day taking out real crude oil supply from the real world, the US takes
Yemen's Houthi forces are repeatedly attacking Saudi Aramco facilities, disrupting real crude oil supplies, while the US is being criticised for counting barrels that cannot actually leave the Gulf and buying diesel from a Russia short of fuel itself. Commenters contrast the physical losses caused by the strikes with what they see as imaginary American supply figures around the Strait of Hormuz.

A commentary argues that the shift toward an intangible economy — work built on ideas, data and services rather than physical goods — is leaving people worse off. The piece claims this economic model contributes to widespread dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Little detail is available beyond the headline itself, so the specific arguments and evidence behind the claim remain unknown.
