Micron buys Powerchip fab campus for $1.8B to boost DRAM capacity
Micron is buying a chipmaking campus from Taiwan’s Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC) for $1.8 billion, aiming to ramp up DRAM manufacturing fast. The site is a legacy fab that Powerchip opened about 19 months ago after investing $9.5 billion, which is a painfully modern reminder that in semiconductors you can spend a fortune building the “future,” then sell it like a barely-used treadmill.
Sydney shark incidents linked to warm water, storm runoff, and possible sewage
Experts say warmer summer waters, storm-driven murkiness and runoff, including untreated sewage, may have helped set the table for three shark incidents around Sydney’s northern beaches within 24 hours. One man was left in critical condition after an attack at Manly, while an 11-year-old at Dee Why got away when a shark bit his surfboard. Specialists urged people to stay out of the water after storms, warning runoff can draw bait fish and attract bull sharks, prompting calls for stronger public warnings and renewed debate over shark-control measures.
Noem claims 10,000 migrants arrested in Minneapolis amid crackdown
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said 10,000 migrants were arrested in Minneapolis as part of the administration’s immigration enforcement push.

Prince Harry and Elton John among claimants in privacy case against Daily Mail publisher
Prince Harry is in London for a court case where he, Elton John, and five other claimants allege the Daily Mail’s publisher unlawfully gathered private information to generate stories, breaching their privacy. Nothing says “healthy media ecosystem” quite like celebrities suing tabloids for allegedly doing tabloid things, and tabloids acting shocked that anyone noticed.
Man shoved onto Brooklyn subway tracks, suspect still at large
A 35-year-old man was shoved onto the tracks at the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, just before 5 a.m. Sunday, police said. The victim was helped back onto the platform and taken to NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn in stable condition, and no train was approaching at the time. The suspect fled and remains at large, with NYPD releasing photos and a description, and the incident is reported as the city’s second random subway shove of 2026.
Europe’s trust in U.S. shaken after reported Trump Greenland pressure
Europe is seeing a sharp decline in trust in the U.S. after reports that President Trump demanded Denmark give Greenland to the United States, with warnings of a trade war and even possible military action. The episode is pushing European leaders and the public to rethink reliance on the U.S. for security and trade, which is what happens when diplomacy starts sounding like a hostage note written by an overconfident real estate guy.
Miami Dolphins expected to hire Jeff Hafley as head coach
The Miami Dolphins are expected to hire Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as their next head coach, according to a league source. Another day in the NFL’s coaching carousel, where “fresh start” is code for “now you get blamed for everything in a new zip code.”
