Mass Casualty Incident Declared After Prison Lightning Strike
SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM
Prison authorities have declared a mass casualty incident after a bolt of lightning saw at least 16 inmates at an Ohio correctional facility rushed to the hospital. The strike took place on Tuesday at the Grafton Reintegration Center about 30 miles outside of Cleveland. The group is understood to have been heading out of one building to eat a meal in another. Their injuries are being described as “non-life-threatening,” though some of them are said to have been “critically hurt.” A spokesperson for a local ambulance service confirmed the strike had occurred around 5.30 p.m. local time, but could not confirm the full number of people injured or their current condition. “The call that we originally got was five patients apparently struck by lightning,” they said. “What I can say is that since then, we have transported multiple patients from the facility, and a few of them were critical. I don’t have anything else on their condition at this time.” It comes as the state has been hit by a series of powerful storms, resulting in flooding that is thought to have killed at least one other person.

A LOSING GAME
Roger Federer has lost at least $52 million in stock, knocking him out of billionaire territory. The 20-time grand slam champion owns 2.5 percent of the sneaker brand On, which plummeted 19 percent on Tuesday, according to Forbes. The former Swiss tennis player, 45, now has a net worth of $952 million. It was estimated last year to be $1.1 billion. The high-performance Swiss sneaker brand was founded in 2019 in Zurich and released “The Roger” collection of shoes in 2025, leading to a massive surge in the company’s value. Federer joined the company at its founding as a co-owner, but later shifted his involvement to fashion consulting. During his career, the eight-time Wimbledon champion racked up a total of $130 million in prize money and $300 million from a 10-year apparel deal with Uniqlo, but On Running remains his greatest investment yet.
These Anti-Chafing Shorts Keep Thigh Rub and Sweat at Bay
THIGH AND DRY

Sure, chafing is by no means merely a summer issue, but humidity and warmer temperatures undoubtedly make thigh rubbing, sweat-related rashes, and general discomfort much worse. There are plenty of creams, sticks, and balms formulated to reduce friction, but they can leave behind a sticky or greasy residue—and, of course, require reapplication to actually work when you’re sweating. Thigh Society’s slip shorts offer a decidedly lower-maintenance solution, creating a lightweight barrier between the thighs while helping keep sweat and friction in check. The brand’s top-rated anti-chafing shorts come in several different fabrics and designs, including Cooling, Cotton, and the Original, with select styles available with or without pockets. Our favorite (especially during the warmer months) is the WhispAir Cooling Anti-Chafe Shorts.
Made from an ultra-lightweight seamless fabric, the barely-there undergarments are designed to help regulate temperature and wick away moisture while the brand’s signature anti-chafe paneling prevents thighs from rubbing together. Despite their featherlight feel, these slip shorts are also designed to stay put without constantly rolling, bunching, or riding up as you walk. They also feature a breathable cotton crotch, so you can even skip underwear if you please.
While they may look a bit like shapewear at first glance, these shorts aren’t designed to suck you in, sculpt your waist, or compress your thighs. Instead, each style is all about coverage and comfort, with zero compression. This means no digging waistbands, restrictive squeezing, or dreaded sausage-casing effect. The smooth, seamless construction also makes them easy to layer discreetly underneath dresses and skirts, including slinky and body-hugging silhouettes where traditional bike shorts or shapewear might create visible lines or unwanted bulk. And unlike an anti-chafing balm that eventually wears off, the protective barrier stays in place for as long as you’re wearing them. Whether you’re commuting, sightseeing, dancing at an outdoor wedding, or simply trying to survive a humid afternoon without your inner thighs declaring war on each other.
Thigh Society also offers an impressively expansive range of options, with 19 colors, six inseam lengths, and inclusive sizing from XS through 6XL. For anyone who loves dresses but could do without the thigh rub, sweat, and sticky anti-chafing products that often come with them, they’re a game-changer for any season.

Tourist, 20, Falls to His Death After Botched Waterfall Pic
‘HORRIFIC ACCIDENT’
Zachary Mertens, 20, slipped and fell into an Oregon waterfall after posing for a photo in a closed-off area. Mertens, of Burlington, Kentucky, died from the 177-foot fall from South Falls in Silver Falls State Park late Monday night. The State Park is located about 50 miles south of Portland and 20 miles east of Oregon’s state capital, Salem. According to Oregon State Police, Mertens “crossed into a closed off area to pose for photographs at the top of the waterfall when (he) slipped and fell into the water below.” Park officials and another visitor tried to save Mertens but were too late. The 20-year-old played basketball for his high school team in Bellevue, and for the club team Moss Elite. Photos on social media show Mertens posing on the court with trophies. He is survived by his parents, Jason and Alicia Mertens, and his older brother RJ Mertens, 24. “It was a pretty horrific accident,” former Silver Falls State Park manager and current regional manager Chris Gilliand told The Statesman Journal. “A very tough situation.”

Grammy Winner Abruptly Cancels Shows in Mystery Circumstances
A CHANGE OF TUNE
Jon Batiste has canceled three upcoming shows this week, citing personal reasons. The 39-year-old singer, who has won 8 Grammys out of 25 nominations, was scheduled to perform Thursday at New Haven’s Westville Music Bowl, Friday at Philadelphia’s TD Pavilion and Saturday at New York’s Forest Hills Stadium. The venues said ticket holders will receive refunds through their original points of purchase. “As I navigate some personal circumstances, I unfortunately need to cancel a portion of my upcoming performance dates…” Batiste said in a statement shared by the venues. He added that he and his team are developing “new ways and opportunities to share live music” as he releases his albums Monk Meditations and Monk Movements. Batiste did not provide further details about the cancellations. His performances in Ohio, Virginia and Georgia next week remain listed on his website. The cancellations come as Batiste tours nationally. Batiste was the bandleader and musical director of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from 2015 until 2022.
This Wellness Shot Gives Your Liver Some Well-Deserved TLC
DAILY DOSE

When it comes to liver-focused supplements, many of us assume they’re only for recovering from a hangover or for people who drink heavily (or at least frequently). But alcohol is just one small part of the equation. Your liver is responsible for hundreds of essential functions, including filtering waste products from the blood, processing nutrients, supporting metabolism, and producing bile. This digestive fluid helps break down fats and absorb fat-soluble vitamins. When bile secretion or liver function is less than optimal, digestion can suffer, possibly contributing to symptoms like bloating, gastrointestinal discomfort, and sluggishness.
In other words, whether you drink alcohol or not, your liver could probably use a little extra TLC—especially if you’re dealing with persistent digestive issues such as bloating, irregularity, or stomach discomfort. Vitamin Shoppe is celebrating Wellness Month this August, with a slew of products formulated to support your liver (along with digestion and metabolism). Still, our favorite is Dose For Your Liver’s liquid supplement.
Dose For Your Liver has earned the nickname “liquid gold” for good reason. The daily wellness shot is formulated with science-backed ingredients traditionally associated with liver health, including turmeric, milk thistle, dandelion, and ginger. The formula also contains bioflavonoids and other plant compounds designed to support healthy liver function, digestion, and metabolism. Plus, it actually tastes good. The bright, citrusy flavor reminds me of the SunnyD “orange drink” I grew up on, minus the artificial ingredients and sugar overload. Instead, you’re getting a concentrated mixture of botanicals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help support the body’s natural detoxification processes and general digestive health.
If you’re looking to give your liver (and, by extension, your digestive system) a little extra support without adding yet another capsule to your supplement routine, Dose For Your Liver offers a convenient way to combine several popular wellness ingredients into one surprisingly delicious daily shot. Grab a bottle (or two) on sale at The Vitamin Shoppe this month.

Victoria’s Secret Angel Engaged to Australian Boyfriend
SHE SAID YES
Model Alessandra Ambrosio is engaged to Australian jewelry designer Buck Palmer after nearly two years of dating. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, 45, announced the news Tuesday, revealing that Palmer, 44, actually popped the question four months ago during a romantic beach proposal. “I’d choose you in this life and every life. Here’s to forever, my love,” Ambrosio wrote alongside photos and video from the proposal. The images show Palmer getting down on one knee inside a large heart drawn in the sand and decorated with tropical red flowers. Ambrosio appeared shocked as he presented her with a ring before the couple embraced and celebrated in the ocean. “Four months ago, we said YES to forever,” Ambrosio said on her Instagram Story. “We’ve been holding this beautiful moment close to our hearts.” Ambrosio and Palmer confirmed their relationship in December 2024 after being spotted kissing at an Art Basel event in Miami. Ambrosio was previously engaged to businessman Jamie Mazur from 2008 to 2018. They share daughter Anja, 17, and son Noah, 14. Palmer was previously married to model Ashley Hart from 2015 to 2017.

River Tubers’ Brief Trip Turns Into 3-Day Fight to Survive
THE RIVER WILD
A group of river tubers has been found in just their swimming costumes after a water, air, and land search following a three-day disappearance. Michigan State Police said Tuesday that two women and a child had gotten lost in Michigan during what was supposed to be a four-hour jaunt. Police Lt. Pat Agema said Jazzmin Hock, 28, her cousin Sarah Vida, 28, and Vida’s nine-year-old son were treated for cuts, exhaustion, and dehydration. Cops said that they had hit a logjam in the Muskegon River in Western Michigan, which had caused their tube to deflate. The wreck was found on the second day of the search, while the father of one of the missing women said he’d found his daughter’s car with a smashed window at Maple Island Boat Launch in Grant. In footage taken by a pair of rescuing state troopers and a trio of Michigan Department of Natural Resources, the nine-year-old can be seen saying, “We got lost on the river. We went to the river, and we were on the river for four hours.” “I can’t believe that three people, allegedly in bathing suits, with no shoes on, were making the trek through that swamp,” said State Trooper Zach Murphy, calling the rescue a “fourth-quarter, fourth-down, Hail Mary victory.”

Pilot Tests Positive for Marijuana After 300ft Plunge Injures 24 Passengers
FLYING HIGH
The captain of an Air India flight that plunged nearly 300 feet in midair tested positive for cannabis. Flight AI379 was traveling from Phuket to Delhi on August 4 when it suddenly lost altitude, injuring at least 24 passengers before landing safely. Both pilots underwent mandatory drug screening. The captain’s initial test required confirmation, and a second test subsequently confirmed cannabis use, according to Reuters. Investigators are now examining the captain’s behavior during the flight after cabin crew reportedly complained that he appeared not fully in control. An internal safety report said the captain was standing behind the co-pilot when an alert sounded and the autopilot disengaged. The plane’s nose then pitched up before the co-pilot pushed it down, sending the aircraft into a sharp plunge. Both pilots and loose objects briefly floated inside the cockpit during the maneuver. The captain eventually took control and stabilized the aircraft, but it had already dropped nearly 300 feet. India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation summoned Air India CEO Campbell Wilson on Tuesday to answer questions about the incident.

Socialist Loses Nail-Biting Primary in Key Battleground State
BATTLEGROUND
A moderate establishment favorite squeaked out a razor-thin primary victory, extinguishing a progressive surge that threatened to upend a critical Midwestern battleground. The high-stakes Wisconsin clash saw Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly edge out state Representative Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist who sought to ride growing left-wing primary momentum. With 98 percent of the votes tallied, Crowley pulled ahead by roughly 3,000 votes after moderate Democrats survived a chaotic primary field marred by candidate dropouts and scandal. Hong, a single mother and former chef, centered her campaign on her working-class roots but stumbled under scrutiny over past social media posts. Though national progressive heavyweights like Senator Bernie Sanders declined to endorse her, Republicans heavily funded ad campaigns to boost her, betting she would be an easier general election target. Instead, Crowley—backed by outgoing Governor Tony Evers—will now advance to face Representative Tom Tiffany, an ardent Trump ally who voted against certifying the 2020 election results, setting up a brutal clash over who will control the crucial swing state’s executive branch.
EltaMD’s Derm-Approved SPF Is a Godsend for People Who Break Out Just *Thinking* About Sunscreen
IN THE CLEAR

Ask any dermatologist what the most important step in your skincare routine is, and you’ll get the same answer every time: daily sunscreen—even if it’s cloudy, and even if you “don’t burn.” Not only is SPF one of the most effective tools for preventing premature aging, but it’s also crucial for protecting your skin from UV damage and lowering the risk of skin cancer.
Of course, knowing you should wear sunscreen and actually finding one your skin can tolerate are two very different things. For anyone with acne-prone, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin, the wrong SPF can lead to breakouts, irritation, or a full-blown flare-up.

Free Shipping
One SPF that consistently earns praise from dermatologists, aestheticians, and skin-sensitive users alike is EltaMD’s UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen. This mineral-based SPF is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and specifically formulated for reactive skin. It’s infused with skin-supporting ingredients like niacinamide to help calm inflammation, smooth texture, and support an even skin tone without causing irritation.
The texture is lightweight and breathable, with a velvety demi-matte finish that layers beautifully under makeup and plays well with the skincare underneath it. And because it comes in untinted, tinted, and deep-tinted versions, it works for a wide range of skin tones—no chalky residue or white cast. If your skin has a history of rejecting sunscreen, this derm-loved favorite might just be the one that finally gets a yes.

Rock Legend, 81, Cancels Entire Tour After Show Axed at the Last Minute
TONIGHT’S NOT THE NIGHT
Rod Stewart has canceled the remaining dates of what was billed as his final ever tour after undergoing medical treatment. The 81-year-old Scottish singer had already canceled his appearance at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati on Sunday after he had a coronary stent procedure. His team has now confirmed he will be pulling out of the remaining dates on his “One Last Time” tour, which included a six-night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, while he recovers. A representative for Stewart said he hopes to “regain full fitness before returning to the stage” at some point. “I’m deeply disappointed to miss these shows and sorry to let my fans down, but I look forward to getting back on stage and having a good time with you all again soon,” Stewart said. The Grammy Award-winning singer’s career began as a solo artist in the late 1960s, and he went on to have a string of hits such as “Tonight’s the Night,“ Maggie May,” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” He also fronted the group Faces alongside future Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. Stewart has sold more than 120 million records worldwide in a career spanning seven decades.

ICE Arrests Soccer Player at Airport as He Eats With Team
CHEAP SHOT
ICE agents detained an Argentinian semiprofessional soccer player as he was eating pizza with his team at a Florida airport. Matías Pourrain, a midfielder for Miami United Football Club, was taken into custody by agents at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as his team awaited their flight to Los Angeles for the championship game of the United Premier Soccer League, in the fourth tier of U.S. soccer, reports the Miami New Times. The team issued a statement on Instagram before their match, which it went on to lose, saying “the club has been fully at Matías and his family’s side, providing legal support, making an attorney available, and remaining in constant contact with his family.” A DHS spokesperson told Newsweek that Pourrain had overstayed his visa after he was admitted legally to the U.S. in 2019. However, his brother, Juan Pourrain, told Argentinian outlet Todo Noticias that he had asylum status and Social Security but was awaiting a pending appointment. Pourrain is currently in custody at the Glades County Detention Center, according to the ICE detainee database.
