Chess robot breaks 7-year-old’s finger!

A 7-year-old boy in Moscow was in a match at the Moscow Open with a robot. He took his turn too quickly for the robot’s liking, err processing, so the bot grabbed his finger- and broke it! “This is of course bad,” said the President of the Moscow Chess Federation, Sergey Lazarev. He mentioned that the robot’s suppliers will have to think again.

Woman sues man for $10K — because he stood her up on a date

Photo by Brett Sayles/PEXELS

A Michigan woman is currently in the middle of suing a man for $10,000 — because he stood her up on a date.

I’m not quite sure how this even happens, but apparently the basis of the lawsuit is emotional distress. Because the dating faux pas just so happened to fall on the birthdate of the woman’s late mother.

Seems like a stretch to me. I mean — the woman MADE THE DATE on the day her dead mother was born. How much emotional distress can she possibly be suffering? Anyways…

The lawsuit is actually moving forward, for whatever reason. Although I think you will be entertained by the judge yelling at this woman….

This soccer player got hit with a projectile fish

You’ve probably seen people throw empty beer cups at players that suck at sporting events before, maybe a even a hotdog. But how in the world someone got a full fish in the stadium and then decided to throw it at the perfect moment to smack a player right in the face… that’s planned! That’s assault!

There’s a sinkhole in the pool!

Imagine enjoying a nice afternoon at the waterpark when BOOM! The pool starts to suck you and everything in it way down. That happened to these folks. I always knew you should stay away from the drain but I didn’t think that this could happen!

A new, easy-to-remember number for the Suicide & Crisis Hotline…

As an advocate for mental health, I’m so glad to see this improvement.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline has changed up to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline. A nationwide easy to remember three digit number comes along with a slight rebrand to give those experiencing a tough time a place to turn to.

Spread the word!

However, we aren’t done with our work here. After reading my morning e-mail from The Hustle, there apparently are only 13 states that have put in place funding to support this initiative — and that does NOT include Illinois. So — lean on your lawmakers! Let’s get this changed!

Do They Belong To The Streets?

Does he belong to the streets?! He refuses to call his girlfriend his… girlfriend.

My boyfriend calls me his lady friend and refuses to call me his girlfriend in public. He thinks it makes him sound like a simp when he calls me his girlfriend. I feel like when he calls me lady friend that it makes me sound like a floozy and not someone he loves. Does he belong to me to the streets for calling me his lady friend? By the way he’s 31 not some old man. Ahoy!

A cameraman wanders onto the track during Track and Field World Championships

Oopsies! A Cameraman at the Track and Field World Championships was so busy watching everyone else he forgot to watch where he was going! He stood in the middle of Lane 2 with his back to the front runners. The athletes had to didge him and probably lost some serious time because of it!
