Imagine smelling a cake baking in someone else’s oven from thousands of miles away.

A University of Kentucky researcher just became the first known humanist to get a religious exemption from using AI at work.
He argued that doing his own thinking is central to being a moral person, and offloading that to tools like ChatGPT would undermine it. The university approved the request.

Everyone wants to know who will control Congress, but the answer might not come on election night.
The Associated Press only calls a race when there’s no way the trailing candidate can catch up, and some states take days to finish counting mail ballots or resolve ranked-choice voting. In recent cycles, full control of both chambers took several days to call.
How long are you willing to wait before the picture is clear?

The U.S. just struck Iranian targets in the Strait of Hormuz, a U.S. official says, even as Tehran claimed it had a plan to reopen the waterway and resume talks.
The strikes were limited and not publicly announced, coming on the eve of the midterms. What happens next is still unclear.
Does this move things closer to a deal, or push them further apart?

Five people, including two children, spent nearly three months adrift in a small boat after a storm blew them off course in the Pacific.
They covered an estimated 3,400 miles before villagers on a remote island spotted them and brought them ashore. Four others from the original group remain missing.
How do you even begin to process surviving something like that?

Ever wonder why your favorite soda started life being ordered as a “Waco” at a drugstore counter? A pharmacist in Texas mixed 23 flavors in 1885 and created something that still doesn’t taste like anything else. The full story of how it got its name and went from a local fountain drink to a national brand is wilder than you’d think.
