Met Office issues yellow fog warning across parts of England

A nine hour yellow alert is in place until 7 a.m. Sunday, with dense fog expected across the East and West Midlands, North East and North West England, and Yorkshire and the Humber. Visibility should improve west to east overnight. Road, rail, ferry, and air travel may see delays or cancellations, with Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Humberside, and East Midlands airports on watch. Check updates, leave extra time, and make sure those fog lights actually work. Early Sunday stays overcast and chilly at roughly 5 to 7 C before milder air nudges in from the west. Mostly dry after the warning lifts, with a few showers possible later. Yes, the forecast may change, because British weather loves a plot twist.

Trump calls Ukraine proposal negotiable, allies wince

At the White House, Donald Trump said the U.S. plan to end the Ukraine war is not a final offer to Kyiv and is open to negotiation, a line unlikely to soothe already jittery partners. He said the conflict should never have happened and framed ending it as the priority. Translation for the cheap seats, policy by vibes is back, and the fine print is apparently to be discussed in the hallway.

From eczema to entrepreneur, a 22 year old builds R12 Botanicals

Reece Collins, frustrated by severe eczema at 17, taught himself plant based formulation and eventually launched R12 Botanicals, now trading at nine markets a week. A legal nudge from Boots forced a costly name tweak, because nothing says consumer safety like a fight over a suffix. Early online sales sputtered, so he pivoted to pop ups and face to face pitches, built a five person team that includes his mum and a customer turned staffer, and plans to reinvest holiday takings into ads. His advice to young founders, take risks, stay disciplined, persist. In other words, no miracle cure, just graft and a lot of labeling.

DIY TENS build shows smart compassion in hardware

A maker created a custom PCB based TENS device to help a relative manage hand pain, focusing on controlled current limiting and microcontroller tuned pulse rates to deliver targeted relief. It is a tidy reminder that thoughtful engineering can cut through medical gadget sticker shock without cutting corners. Sensible warning, consult a medical professional and do not treat healthcare hardware like a weekend cosplay project.

Chicago honors 9 year old after attack near school

A 9 year old and his mother were attacked by students near a local school, and the child was formally honored afterward. He described the aftermath plainly, I cried every night, every day. A stark reminder that community support matters most after the cameras leave.

101 year old South Jersey veteran named Living Legend

Ruth Roque Herbolsheimer, who joined the U.S. Army eight decades ago, has been recognized by the Military Women’s Memorial as a Living Legend. A well deserved, long overdue salute to service and staying power that outlasted several eras of leadership fashions.

Starmer to Prince Andrew: if you know something, say it

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to voluntarily cooperate with U.S. House Oversight investigators examining Jeffrey Epstein, noting 16 Democratic members requested a transcribed interview by November 20 and say he did not respond. Lawmakers cannot compel testimony from a foreign national, but they have thousands of Epstein estate emails and records and want high-profile associates to help identify enablers and institutional failures. Andrew denies wrongdoing, was photographed with Epstein in 2010, appears in flight logs and related documents, and settled a civil case with Virginia Giuffre in 2022 without admitting liability. Starmer’s principle is simple, titles and technicalities do not excuse silence.

Tatiana Schlossberg shares terminal cancer diagnosis

Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, disclosed she has terminal cancer and was told she may have less than a year to live. A difficult and deeply personal announcement, and one that warrants compassion rather than commentary.

DHS reverses itself on missing texts, orders records preserved

After calling it a misunderstanding, the Trump administration has directed DHS staff to preserve records in litigation over missing texts tied to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other matters. In a joint status report with American Oversight, DHS says officials have been ordered to keep documents and electronic records, devices have been imaged, and copies stored on a secure server. That follows an earlier claim, blamed on technology changes, that business texts after April 9, 2025 were not maintained. The records sought include messages about National Guard deployments to Los Angeles, the so-called Alligator Alcatraz detention site, cases involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and texts tied to Pentagon liaison Philip Hegseth. DHS will brief the National Archives on its Federal Records Act compliance. Watchdog groups call the preservation orders progress, then point to the agency’s screenshot-and-self-archive habit, which is about as searchable as a filing cabinet at sea.

Kazakhstan backs Armenia’s corridor plan, branding included

Astana endorsed Armenia’s peace and transport corridor initiatives, including the so-called Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity during Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s visit. The pitch is to diversify regional routes and boost connectivity, because nothing says diplomacy like slapping a logo on a logistics map and calling it statesmanship.

Report: most video game workers now favor unions

A new report finds a majority of industry workers support unionizing, which gets a lot less surprising when you learn roughly a quarter of them have been laid off in the last two years. When one in four players gets booted mid-level, collective bargaining stops being optional DLC and becomes the main campaign. Executives may soon discover that restart level applies to them too.

North Carolina tree-lighting shooting labeled senseless, three charged

Police condemned the gunfire that broke out at a city-operated tree-lighting along Church Street and Cabarrus Avenue as senseless violence. Three people have been charged. At a community event meant for celebration, families got chaos instead, a grim reminder that public safety is still playing catch-up to easy anger.

70,000 voices, no backing track, all goosebumps in Cardiff

On the 120th anniversary of Wales first singing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau before a rugby international, the Principality Stadium cut the soundtrack and let the crowd take it. The a cappella anthem against the All Blacks rattled the roof and the spine, and made a convincing argument that the best stadium music is the nation itself. Someone tell the PA system to enjoy a nice quiet retirement.

Tatiana Schlossberg, JFK’s granddaughter, announces cancer diagnosis

Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, said she was recently diagnosed with cancer. Wishing her strength, privacy, and a smooth path to recovery.

Teach Welsh history in England, say campaigners who are tired of the sanitised syllabus

Calls are growing for England to teach Welsh history properly, not as a footnote in a tidy British narrative. Tryweryn gets forgotten, the Cofiwch Dryweryn memorial gets defaced, and too many students get the Romans to Kings conveyor belt with Wales cast as England With Mountains. Wales has made its own history mandatory at home, with a new GCSE due in 2026 after a workload delay. In England there is no requirement at all. The plea is simple, embed Welsh history with pride so the United Kingdom actually understands itself, starting west of Offa’s Dyke. Curriculum gatekeepers, sharpen your pencils.

Storm Claudia flooding spurs fresh investment plea in Rhondda Cynon Taf

After record River Monnow levels left Monmouth under a major incident with multi-agency rescues, Rhondda Cynon Taf said it avoided major damage thanks to nonstop work clearing 138 high-risk culverts, gully operations, sandbags, and resident prep. The council has spent over £100 million since Storm Dennis and is pushing for more projects based on NRW modeling of the Cynon, Rhondda, and Taff. Monmouthshire, just 22 miles away, was the cautionary tale. Funding soon would be sensible, preferably before the next deluge.

Bolsonaro detained amid suspected asylum gambit

Brazilian authorities in Brasília detained former president Jair Bolsonaro amid fears he would bolt for an embassy to claim asylum rather than begin his prison sentence. The only thing he managed to escape was the lobby. For once, the accountability clock ran faster than the getaway plan.

Trump lights up Marjorie Taylor Greene after her retirement announcement

Hours after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will resign in January, Donald Trump declared online that “Marjorie went BAD,” claiming she is quitting because he pulled his endorsement. Another day, another GOP family food fight where the tableware is mostly thrown on social media and the menu is grudges with a side of donor fatigue.

Volusia County Coffee Clash, Battery Charges Filed

Deputies in Volusia County arrested 54-year-old Nina Jaaskelainen on two counts of battery after a leash dispute allegedly turned into a coffee dousing of a New Smyrna Beach mother, her infant, and their dog outside Jaaskelainen’s Quail Ranch Road property around 8:35 a.m. on Nov. 14. Deputies noted dried coffee on all three and reviewed video showing Jaaskelainen behind a gated fence with a mug in hand. She reportedly admitted throwing coffee at the dog but denied intending to hit the mother or child. She was released on a 1,000 dollar bond, with a pretrial hearing set for Dec. 1 and trial slated for Dec. 22. An object lesson in neighborhood diplomacy, now with caffeine.

Saudi Arabia Loosens Alcohol Access, Quietly and for the Privileged

Saudi Arabia has expanded alcohol availability for non-Muslim Premium Residency holders, letting select expats buy booze at a Riyadh shop once reserved for diplomats. No fanfare, just a policy whisper, as the kingdom tries to turbocharge tourism and attract 150 million visitors by 2030 while maintaining religious guardianship. Access remains limited to high earners and certain professions, and hotels are poised to upgrade mocktails to cocktails if and when the rules shift. Modernization is arriving, but only if your residency card comes with a velvet rope.

Fatal Tesla Crash and Fire in Arizona

In Buckeye, Arizona, a Tesla crashed near an intersection shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday and ignited a lithium battery fire that required a hazmat response. The lone driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause is under investigation, including whether driver error or driver-assistance tech played any role. The incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of Tesla’s safety record and emergency egress concerns.

Barcelona Back at Camp Nou, At Last

After 906 days away, FC Barcelona returned to a partially reopened Spotify Camp Nou, with the broader Espai Barça overhaul still in progress. The lights are on, the seats are filling, and the culers are finally home, albeit to a soundtrack curated by corporate naming rights. Progress, with a playlist.

New Jersey’s Trial Balloon, Withholding Federal Taxes

Gov-elect Mikie Sherrill says she is considering withholding federal tax payments to protest the Trump administration, a tease she floated on Jon Stewart’s podcast. It signals combative posture after her blowout win, framed as a referendum on Trump. Nothing grabs Washington’s attention like threatening to cut off its allowance, especially before the moving boxes are unpacked.

Ireland vs South Africa, How to Watch and Stream Saturday in Dublin

Under the Saturday night lights, two heavyweights renew hostilities as Rassie Erasmus hunts a first win in Dublin. Live stream and TV details include free options for viewers in Ireland. Blockbuster rugby without necessarily blockbuster prices, somewhere a paywall just felt a chill.

Teach Welsh History in England, The Tryweryn Blind Spot Comes Home

Calls are growing for England to teach Welsh history, sparked by how many have never heard of Tryweryn, the 1960s drowning of a Welsh-speaking village to supply Liverpool’s water. Wales now mandates Welsh history and is revamping GCSEs, delayed to 2026 to give teachers breathing room. The ask for England is simple, treat Welsh history as British history, from Llywelyn and Gwenllian to Betsi Cadwaladr, so the ignorance and the mistakes stop looping like a rerun nobody asked for.

Wales vs New Zealand, Where to Watch the All Blacks Finale

New Zealand land in Cardiff for their last test of 2025, while Wales, buoyed by a win over Japan, stare down a streak that has gathered dust since 1953. Expect Wales to scrap and the All Blacks to bring ruthlessly polished chaos. TV and streaming available via local broadcasters. History says New Zealand, hope says Wales, and the rest of us say hydrate.

From Insults to Alliance, Trump and Mamdani Find Common Cause

After trading barbs that sounded like a doomed group chat, the pair emerge from the Oval Office praising each other. In Washington, calling someone a total menace is apparently the handshake before the hug. Ideology is temporary, proximity to power is forever.

South London Festival Eyes Two-Weekend Expansion Next Year

Organizers are weighing a second weekend anchored by an Afrobeats festival and a Mahrajan Festival. Twice the culture, twice the decibels, and yes, twice the wristbands to lose in a coat you will not find until spring.

South African Women Protest Femicide, Government Declares National Disaster

Tens of thousands marched in Johannesburg against gender-based violence, confronting a devastating toll of roughly 15 women killed each day. The government has declared the crisis a national disaster. The scale demands sustained action, resources, and protection that arrives before the headlines, not after.

Philadelphia Museum CEO Fired After Misuse Accusation, Unanimous Board Vote

A court filing accuses former Philadelphia Museum of Art CEO Sasha Suda of misappropriating funds, and the board did not exactly linger in the gift shop. Hired at $720,000 a year, Suda was fired on Nov. 4 after a 12 to 0 vote. When a museum board is unanimous, the financial brushstrokes probably were not Impressionist, they were bold, messy, and right across the balance sheet.

Brendan Fraser Leads “Rental Family,” A Search For Connection Off Camera

Brendan Fraser stars in Rental Family as an actor in Japan hired to step into other people’s lives, chasing that elusive thing Hollywood keeps writing like it has never met one in the wild, genuine human connection. If he pulls it off, it might be the rare movie about empathy that remembers to include some.

Florida AG Seeks To Unseal Epstein Grand Jury Transcripts

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed an expedited motion in federal court to release grand jury transcripts from the Jeffrey Epstein case, citing recent legal changes that could allow disclosure in the public interest. Lawmakers are turning up the pressure, and one of the last official veils over a case that bent the rules for the well connected may finally lift. Sunlight, meet the guest list.

Community Rallies For Ny’Leek Ellison’s Ninth Birthday

In Upland, Pennsylvania, chef Ashley Clark organized a Spider-Man themed party at no cost for Ny’Leek Ellison, who was left paralyzed from the neck down after a February 4 hit and run. Police later arrested and charged 22 year old Caleb Campbell. With help from coworkers, volunteers, and family, Clark cooked, baked, and filled the room with gifts, turning hardship into a moment of joy. A simple, beautiful reminder that community can show up when it matters most.

Philadelphia Marathon Weekend Draws 37,000 Runners, And Plenty Of Road Closures

The Pennsylvania Convention Center expo is packed as runners collect bibs for a weekend that brings more than 37,000 athletes from over 60 countries to Philly streets, with the Half and 8K on Saturday, kids run and full marathon Sunday. Expect the city’s signature wall of cheers, from visually impaired marathon vet Jenny Hwang of Queens and her guide to Wynnewood’s Katie Rabinowitz, racing her hometown while undergoing chemotherapy for stage 4 breast cancer. Drivers, plan ahead. This is the rare Philly showdown where four wheels politely yield to a lot of very determined legs.

Trump Cheers Greene’s Exit, MAGA’s Longest Bromance Hits The Rocks

Donald Trump called Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s plan to leave Congress in early January great news for the country, days after he withdrew his support. For a onetime star of the MAGA fan club, that is a brutal un endorsement, and a reminder that in this franchise, loyalty is a monthly subscription with no refunds.

Medway's School Streets Rack Up £680k, Residents Cry Cash Grab

Medway's School Streets at 11 schools have issued nearly 25,000 penalties since March, pulling in about £680,000. Cars are barred 8:15 to 9:00 and 2:45 to 3:45. Some parents say the gates feel safer. Neighbors say traffic is just shunted onto side roads, exempt locals keep getting ticketed, and the signs could double as eye charts. Also, if the cash is flowing, why are the potholes not? The council insists it is about safety, notes six months of first-time warnings, and promises a review. Translation, they will look into it after they finish counting.

Texas Wants Supreme Court Blessing for New Map, Racial Gerrymander Fight Intensifies

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to overturn a federal ruling that its redistricting map is likely an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The timing neatly aligns with Donald Trump’s effort to help Republicans keep control of Congress. Texas says the lines are fair. Critics see packing and cracking with the precision of a Swiss watch built by partisan cartographers.

Saudi Crown Prince's U.S. Tour Ends With Pageantry and Promises

Mohammed bin Salman wrapped a Washington swing on what the White House framed as stronger footing, with President Trump hailing him as a singular leader in the Arab world. The reception featured a red carpet, a horse parade, and a black-tie dinner rarely granted to anyone, much less an authoritarian under intense human-rights scrutiny. In the Oval Office, Trump brushed aside questions about the CIA’s conclusion that MBS orchestrated Jamal Khashoggi’s killing. The visit ended with Saudi Arabia designated a major non-NATO ally and a U.S. promise to sell F-35s, because nothing says special relationship like pageantry and next-gen jets.

Clintons Ordered to Testify in Epstein Probe, Depos Set for December

House Oversight Chair James Comer says Bill and Hillary Clinton must sit for depositions on December 17 and 18, following bipartisan subpoenas issued in July. The Clintons offered written answers, condemned Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes as abhorrent, and said they have little to add. Comer argues their personal relationships with Epstein and Maxwell are the point. Bill Clinton’s documented ties include more than a dozen flights on Epstein’s jet and White House visits by Epstein and Maxwell. If they appear, the questioning will be behind closed doors, with some video later released. Republicans are floating contempt if they refuse and cite the Bannon and Navarro cases. The committee has pressed former officials across administrations and says DOJ has turned over more than 20,000 documents. A deadly serious subject, wrapped in very familiar political theater.

‘Photo-Op Osmosis’ Alleged as Warren Says Trump Piggybacked on Mamdani’s Shine

Warren says Donald Trump tried to siphon some of Zohran Mamdani’s spotlight after a chummy meeting with New York City’s mayor-elect, joking it is no surprise Trump wants to stand next to Mamdani and say they think alike. When you cannot earn the glow, you loiter under it.

New Jersey sets April 16, 2026 House special election as Sherrill exits for governor

Rep. Mikie Sherrill will resign her U.S. House seat before inauguration, clearing the decks for her Jan. 20 swearing-in as New Jersey’s 57th governor. Gov. Phil Murphy scheduled the primary for Feb. 5. In Trenton, every promotion comes with a by-election cleanup crew.

Philadelphia Museum taps Daniel H. Weiss as director and CEO amid leadership churn

Less than three weeks after firing Sasha Suda, who has since sued the board, the Philadelphia Museum of Art hired Daniel H. Weiss, the former Met chief credited with steadying its finances. Unlike the Met’s split model, he will run all operations. He starts Dec. 1. The board calls him ideally suited to restore stability, because nothing says calm like a swift leadership swap and pending litigation.

CISA’s talent drain meets a ransomware surge and unreliable AI

Editors warn America’s lead cyber agency is losing the talent war while adversaries operate nonstop without HR bottlenecks or congressional purse strings. Akira ransomware is intensifying attacks on healthcare, raising patient safety risks. Meanwhile, some security-focused AI models are confidently echoing wrong assumptions, turning assistance into an attack surface. Net result, thin ranks, brutal criminal pressure, and overeager machines. The fix is not another press release, it is hiring, safeguards, and accountability.

Enterprises fling AI agents into workflows, oversight sprints to keep up

Under pressure to boast AI-driven productivity, companies are stuffing agents into critical processes faster than they can spell governance. Rubrik’s Dev Rishi argues the only way to keep control is real visibility, policy, and rapid remediation. Deploy the shiny bots if you must, but bring adult supervision.

Jenna Lyons exits Real Housewives of New York

The Bravo alum says she will not return next season, announcing the decision on Instagram. The reunion couch has been replaced by the grid post, less champagne throwing, more curated closure.

Trump says posts calling Democrats traitors were not threats

He insisted Friday that labeling lawmakers as traitors and accusing them of sedition was not threatening, just a warning of serious trouble, and not threatening death, to be clear. So, not a threat, merely an ominous drumroll with the classic I am not threatening you, but flourish.

Bald eagle drops cat through North Carolina driver’s windshield

Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a motorist escaped injury when a bald eagle dropped a cat that shattered the passenger side of the windshield. A grim collision of wildlife and roadway, thankfully without human harm.

Paraguay warning, new highway could be a fast lane for traffickers

Paraguay’s former justice minister cautions the Bioceanic Corridor may become a strategic route for organized crime without serious security planning. If you build it and skip the safeguards, the cartels arrive before the tourists.

Mamdani visits White House as Trump predicts a cordial first meeting

The New York City mayor-elect arrived Friday for his first sit-down with the president, who told a radio interviewer they will get along fine, smoothing over earlier barbs, including Trump branding Mamdani a communist. Washington’s favorite magic trick, last week’s insults, today’s handshakes.

Blind Item Reveal: PR Romance As Performance Art

A gossip blind item pegs Disney alum Dove Cameron as the actress who allegedly tried to float a faux engagement in hopes a real one would magically materialize. Nothing says eternal devotion like a trial balloon pitched to the algorithm. Consider it a reminder that in certain corners of Hollywood, love is a content strategy, and the ring is a prop until further notice.

Westeros Will Never End, GRRM Teases More Spinoffs

After HBO laid out a Marvel-style slate that keeps House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms rolling for the next three years, George R. R. Martin says he is helping develop five or six more projects, mostly prequels, with a few set after that polarizing Thrones finale. Think ideas like Aegon the Conqueror, the once-planned Nymeria series, and the abandoned 10,000 Ships. A Jon Snow follow-up was explored then shelved, an Arya adventure remains a coy hint you drop over pizza. Translation, plenty of scrolls in the scriptorium, but remember development often means a very nice drawer where pilots go to nap. Just ask the $30 million Naomi Watts prequel that never saw daylight.

404 Media Helps Ground a Data-Grabbing Travel Scheme

In a week where journalism actually did something, 404 Media’s reporting helped shutter the Travel Intelligence Program, a scheme run by Airlines Reporting Corporation, owned by United, American, Delta, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, Lufthansa, Air France, and Air Canada. It hoovered up booking data from more than 10,000 agencies like Expedia, names, credit cards, routes, then sold access to government buyers like ICE, the FBI, the SEC, State, and ATF, no warrant required. Also on the scoreboard, an exposed AI porn platform locked down its image trove after scrutiny. Consider it a rare frequent flyer perk, your itinerary no longer comped to half of Washington. They also dug into AI in games and took a detour into Risograph printing, because not everything interesting has to be dystopian.

Plaid Cymru Unveils Near-Complete 2026 Senedd Slate

Plaid Cymru became the first party in Wales to publish an almost full list of candidates for the May 7, 2026 election, locking in top spots across all 16 new super-constituencies. Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth called the team outstanding, pitched Plaid as the made in Wales government-in-waiting focused on the NHS, cost of living, childcare, and business growth, and cast the race as a two-horse sprint while vowing to keep Reform out. Headline names include ap Iorwerth in Bangor Conwy Môn, Elin Jones in Ceredigion Penfro, Delyth Jewell in Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni, Heledd Fychan in Pontypridd Cynon Merthyr, Llyr Gruffydd in Clwyd, Siân Gwenllian in Gwynedd Maldwyn, Sioned Williams in Brycheiniog Tawe Nedd, Peredur Owen Griffiths in Casnewydd Islwyn, Carrie Harper in Fflint Wrecsam, and former leader Adam Price on the Sir Gaerfyrddin list. Lower list slots will be filled in later, because in politics, pressing publish on the spreadsheet is the easy part.

Two suspected Scattered Spider members plead not guilty in Transport for London cyberattack case

Two suspected Scattered Spider members plead not guilty in Transport for London cyberattack case, as two U.K. teenagers denied hacking the transit agency in 2024—an intrusion attributed to the cybercrime group. Because nothing screams criminal mastermind like trying to kneecap a bus timetable.

8-year-old stabs ‘uninvited’ grandmother while defending mother from knife attack, deputies say

Deputies say an 8-year-old stabbed an “uninvited” grandmother while defending her mother from a knife attack in Orange Park, Florida, leading to the arrest of 62-year-old Serpil Nebiye Adams on attempted second-degree murder charges. Around 3:15 p.m. Monday, Adams allegedly entered her estranged adult daughter’s home on Reese Avenue through an unlocked door and attacked with a serrated utility knife while two young children were present. The child grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Adams in the upper arm, stopping the assault; deputies noted blood on the sidewalk and a trail toward a vehicle. Investigators identified Adams, traced the vehicle to a friend, and—with Jacksonville officers—found her at a Jacksonville residence, where she was arrested; she later invoked her right to counsel. The mother and children were not injured. Adams is being held in the Clay County Jail on just over $500,000 bond under a no-contact order and is due back in court Dec. 16.

Police chase ends in crash in New Garden Township, Chester County, leaving three dead

Morning Roundup: School closure survey, Trump targets Pennsylvania lawmakers, and a gamers’ weekend

Morning Roundup: The School District of Philadelphia is asking residents to weigh in as it maps potential school closures, seeking community input before any consolidation moves. In a serious escalation of rhetoric, Donald Trump targeted Pennsylvania lawmakers and veterans Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlihan, accusing them of “seditious behavior” “punishable by death” over a video urging military and intelligence personnel not to obey unlawful orders. For lighter quests, PAX Unplugged returns to the Convention Center this weekend, bringing tabletop makers and meeples from around the globe. Elsewhere: Philly school principals are pushing for a new contract without threatening a strike, the Mummers set their 125th parade for New Year’s Day 2026 on Broad Street, a Friendsgiving delivered warmth to neighbors facing homelessness and addiction, Thanksgiving resources are available citywide, and HBO renewed “Task,” with Mark Ruffalo returning to Delco noir. Mayor Watch: Cherelle Parker touts 2025 Marathon Weekend updates at the Convention Center, then heads to break ground at Happy Hollow Playground.

Man wounded in shooting after altercation inside Philadelphia home

Man wounded in shooting after altercation inside Philadelphia home: Police say a 28-year-old man was found on the front steps of a Mayfair house on the 7200 block of Walker Street around 11:30 p.m., shot twice in the chest and now in critical condition. The alleged shooter, a 27-year-old who also lives there, remained at the scene and was taken in for questioning. Investigators say the men had argued earlier in the day over a woman, the dispute continued inside the home, and the 28-year-old told police he’d been locked out, forced the rear door, and was carrying a knife. A search recovered three spent casings, a semi-automatic handgun, and a knife; four to five witnesses were taken for interviews. No arrests have been announced.

Lawsuit seeks to investigate U.S. government’s role in ICE-tracking app takedowns

Lawsuit seeks to investigate U.S. government’s role in ICE-tracking app takedowns, as the Electronic Frontier Foundation drags two federal departments to court to find out how officials allegedly leaned on tech platforms to scrub apps and sites that monitored ICE activity. EFF wants to know if that “content moderation” was actually government pressure that trampled First Amendment rights—essentially, whether the delete key came with a federal seal.
