There are simulation games for farming, power washing, goat chaos, and office drudgery, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before someone built one around lesbian life. “Lesbian Simulator,” a virtual reality project shown on Meta Quest, sits somewhere between game, interactive art piece, social education exercise, and the sort of concept that

A viral claim that 62 million American men had visited an “online rape academy” in a single month spread fast across social media, carrying the kind of number that makes people stop, stare, and repost. The real reporting behind it pointed to something ugly, but much narrower: traffic data tied to a major porn site

A Texas couple is facing serious charges after investigators alleged they operated a long-running prostitution ring that catered to local police officers and others in their orbit. The case, centered in Godley, has sprawled beyond sex-for-pay allegations into questions about corruption, burner phones, prior convictions, and whether the business survived for years because some of

Most public infrastructure stories are too dull to survive a second glance. This one involved a sewer blockage in Swindon allegedly packed with wet wipes, fat, and so many flushed condoms that a water company had to send residents a letter begging them to stop. The result was less a maintenance issue than a monument

For years, Johnny Somali built an audience by acting like the worst person in any room. In South Korea, that act finally ran into a legal system with no interest in treating public harassment like edgy content. A court sentenced the American livestreamer to prison with labor after finding him guilty on multiple charges tied

Technology paranoia usually sticks to familiar scripts, phones are listening, apps are spying, smart devices are too smart for comfort. Gabrielle Chana took a harder turn. In her version, a Linux Mint update allegedly activated router-based Wi-Fi circuitry and brain-controlled her, with the chief evidence being that she temporarily could not locate a document she

The audio clip is ridiculous in exactly the right way. A few clipped meows over an aviation channel, a sharp response, and suddenly the whole polished image of commercial flying gets nudged a little closer to middle-school radio pranks. The unnerving part is not that it sounds absurd. It is that enough people insist it

A murder case out of Maine was already grim on its basic facts. Then came the alleged confession at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, the repeated admissions to police, and a trail of details that made the whole thing sound less like a conventional homicide investigation and more like a man unraveling in public after a

Most ugly divorces leave behind paperwork, old voicemail messages, and a few stories the neighbors tell at cookouts. This one left a 12-foot bronze middle finger pointed at the house next door. In suburban Detroit, a personal grudge became a permanent outdoor installation, somewhere between revenge fantasy and lawn ornament with a budget. Prefer to

Two people in Iowa are accused of putting oxycodone into a pan of lasagna and giving it to a family member as part of an alleged attempt to cause a miscarriage. It is a story with the structure of a tabloid nightmare, not because the facts are complicated, but because they are so blunt and
