Southwest Plane Lands at Wrong Airport, Narrowly Avoids Precipice

 Posted on August 22, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  197 words  |  Kelle Repass

Correction appended, Jan. 13 2014 A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 landed at the wrong airport on Sunday, stranding its passengers in Hollister, Mo. It is unclear why the airplane, which was headed for nearby Branson, Mo., touched down at an airport 9 miles (14 km) away from its intended destination, but it appears it will stay there for a while, since the 3,700-ft. (1,130 m) runway is not sufficiently long for the Boeing jet to take off. [Read More]

 Posted on August 22, 2024  |  14 minutes  |  2884 words  |  Billy Koelling

2023 proved to be a blockbuster year for video games. Hotly anticipated platform titles debuted on a monthly, and sometimes biweekly, basis, consuming video gamers' time (and the contents of their wallets) like some viral new version of the ever insatiable Pac-Man. But it’s not as though gamers minded much, given the quality of the output. The biggest struggle proved to be staying on top of all the new releases, and there’s no doubt that many people will still be playing catch-up well into 2024, especially given the length of some of these games.

In fact, despite its rising popularity, few think of this beer as being anywhere near as hip as Pabst Blue Ribbon. [Read More]

 Posted on August 22, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  591 words  |  Tandra Barner

Apparently, according to a new investigation into frozen seafood at supermarkets, quite often this isn’t the case. And no matter if the flawed measurements represent honest mistakes or purposeful deception, the result is the same: Consumers are paying for more than they’re getting, and there’s ample reason to believe there’s something fishy about the seafood business.

Top 10 Kids Book Series We Miss

 Posted on August 22, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  137 words  |  Martina Birk

Many of today’s kids, just like those in the mid–20th century, when Betty MacDonald published the four original Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books, don’t put away their toys. Some don’t want to take a bath. There are, in this day and age, still Never-Want-to-Go-to-Bedders, Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Takers and Interrupters. But many 21st century kids (despite the fact that in 2007, decades after MacDonald’s death, a fifth installment was put out by her daughter, who added several new stories to one previously unpublished by her mother) may not be familiar with the lovable Mrs. [Read More]

If you’re excited for True Detective‘s finale Sunday, or simply care about good TV in general, there are two pieces you should read today. The first is Kate Aurthur’s long interview with True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, which is fascinating on a number of topics, not least for his answer to criticisms of the show’s women characters–and to the question of why said women are so often naked: [T]here is a clear mandate in pay-cable for a certain level of nudity.
