What started as a routine weekend getaway for seminarians from the St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in 2024 took a hard turn into the surreal. The archdiocese of Denver confirmed that an exorcist was called in after a bizarre series of events involving a ceremonial dagger, a mysterious blood oath, and a man in a yeti costume.

Renewed iPad Pros pair nicely with iPadOS 26, and they’re quite affordable right now

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-07-20 04:01:30

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for nearly $600. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro d

New York’s bill banning One-Person Train Operation

The New York State Legislature has just passed a bill (S4091/A04873) that would lock New York City’s transit system in the past. This bill, which would require a conductor to be on board every train operated by New York City Transit, is the technological equivalent of requiring every elevator in the city to still be staffed by an elevator operator.
