Quadruple amputee cornhole pro charged with murder

📰 Full Story

Dayton James Webber, 27, a professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee, has been charged in the March 22 killing of 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells in southern Maryland. Charles County authorities say witnesses who were riding in the back seat of Webber’s vehicle reported that an argument turned violent and that Webber shot the front-seat passenger. Wells’s body was later found in a yard in Charlotte Hall. Investigators obtained a warrant, located Webber’s vehicle in Charlottesville, Virginia, and arrested him at a nearby hospital; he was booked as a fugitive and is awaiting extradition to Charles County where he faces first- and second-degree murder and related charges. The American Cornhole League said it would not comment on an active legal matter. The case has drawn intense attention because Webber, who lost all four limbs to infection as an infant and was profiled by national media for competing professionally without prosthetics, has posted videos showing him handling firearms; authorities have not publicly detailed how the shooting occurred or how the body was removed from the vehicle.

Mohamed Salah to Leave Liverpool at Season's End

📰 Full Story

Mohamed Salah announced on March 24–25, 2026 that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025–26 season, ending a nine-year spell at Anfield. The 33-year-old posted an emotional video and the club confirmed the forward “reached an agreement” to close his Liverpool chapter early despite having signed a two‑year extension last year. Salah has made 435 appearances and scored 255 goals for the club, winning multiple trophies including two Premier League titles and the Champions League. Reports say Liverpool agreed to waive the remaining year of a deal reportedly worth about £400,000 per week, meaning Salah will depart as a free agent. His agent Ramy Abbas says no next destination has been decided; bookmakers and media list the Saudi Pro League, Major League Soccer and several top European clubs as leading possibilities. The timing — ahead of Liverpool’s remaining domestic and European fixtures — gives supporters time for a farewell while raising immediate questions about Liverpool’s summer recruitment and the wider transfer market dynamics for elite forwards.

Miley Cyrus Reclaims Hannah Montana in Anniversary Special

📰 Full Story

Disney premiered the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special on Disney+ and Hulu March 24, 2026, reuniting Miley Cyrus with recreated sets, archival footage and a live concert taping filmed for fans in Los Angeles. Hosted and co‑produced by podcaster Alex Cooper, the one‑hour program features Cyrus performing classics such as “The Best of Both Worlds” and “The Climb” (multiple takes were filmed) and debuting a new song, “Younger You.” Guests include Selena Gomez and Cyrus’s father Billy Ray Cyrus; Emily Osment explained she was absent because she was filming another show. Surprise cameo Chappell Roan praised Cyrus on camera but drew mixed reactions at the premiere amid a separate public relations incident in Brazil. Coverage also noted absent cast members (actor Drew Roy was not involved) and heavy nostalgia marketing tied to the premiere — from themed pop‑ups and brand collaborations to Y2K fashion on the pink carpet. The event was filmed under the working title “Project Wig” and emphasised Cyrus’s intention to merge her Hannah and Miley identities rather than repudiate the past.

OpenAI shutters Sora, ends Disney partnership

📰 Full Story

OpenAI announced on March 24–25, 2026 that it will discontinue its Sora text-to-video model, consumer app and developer API, and is winding down a recently publicised partnership with The Walt Disney Company. Launched in late 2024 and remade as a standalone social app in September 2025, Sora helped popularise high‑quality AI video generation but drew criticism over deepfakes, copyright risk and “AI slop.” OpenAI said the Sora research team will refocus on world‑simulation research and robotics and that the company is reallocating compute as demand grows. Reports say the reported $1 billion Disney investment and character‑licensing agreement never closed and will not proceed following the shut‑down. The move follows falling user engagement, high computational costs, internal strategic shifts ahead of an expected IPO and leadership memos prioritising agentic and enterprise products. OpenAI has pledged timelines for winding down services and options for users to preserve their work.

Social Summary
1 / 5
Reporting and observer commentary converge: Sora’s low user retention and high compute costs made it economically untenable amid rising competition from B2B-focused rivals. OpenAI is likely reallocating resources to enterprise products and robotics while addressing reputational and manipulation risks from deepfakes.

Russia launches nearly 1,000 drones at Ukraine

📰 Full Story

On March 24-25, 2026 Russia mounted one of the largest aerial assaults of the war, firing nearly 1,000 strike drones in a 24-hour period, Kyiv and multiple western news agencies reported. Ukraine’s air force said 392 drones were launched overnight and a further roughly 556 in an unusual daytime wave, with officials reporting most were shot down or suppressed by air defences and electronic warfare. The strikes killed at least six people, wounded dozens and damaged civilian infrastructure including a building in Lviv’s UNESCO-listed historic centre and a maternity hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk. The barrage was accompanied by cruise and ballistic missile launches and was described by analysts and Ukrainian commanders as the start of a spring offensive. The attack cut a major Isaccea–Vulcănești power line that carries electricity from Romania to Moldova; Chisinau declared a 60-day energy state of emergency while repairs and demining are carried out. Kyiv repeated urgent appeals for more air-defence munitions as allies weigh further military and diplomatic responses.

Frederiksen's bloc wins but lacks majority in Denmark

📰 Full Story

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s Social Democrats emerged as the largest party in Denmark’s March 24 general election but posted their weakest result in more than a century, leaving the centre-left “red bloc” short of a parliamentary majority. With the Social Democrats around 21.9% (about 38 seats) and allied left parties together holding 84 of 179 seats, the right-leaning “blue bloc” won roughly 77 seats. The centrist Moderates, led by former prime minister and foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, secured 14 seats and is positioned as kingmaker. Voters were driven by domestic concerns — cost of living, migration, welfare and a proposed wealth tax — even after a high-profile international standoff with U.S. President Donald Trump over Greenland briefly boosted Frederiksen’s standing. The far-right Danish People’s Party made significant gains. Parties face potentially lengthy coalition negotiations in which Greenland and Faroe Island deputies and the Moderates could determine who forms government and whether Frederiksen can secure a third term.
