"Fame has never been this hands-on." That's the tagline for OF Model Simulator 2025, a visual novel RPG featuring nearly naked women which until recently appeared to be for sale on the PlayStation Store for just $15. The announcement page remains but the option to buy has been removed. It's unclear if that's in response to players' ongoing complaints about Sony's slop-filled digital storefront or because of other reasons.

It probably wasn't Bill Nye's political punditry that attracted thirteen hundred people to Charlottesville's hundred-and-thirteen-year-old, flag-and-bunting-clad Jefferson Theatre on the Tuesday evening two weeks before Election Day. The crowd inside had been lined up for hours to hear from Abigail Spanberger, the former congresswoman running for governor, and Pete Buttigieg, her star surrogate for the night. But the Science Guy, who'd got to know Spanberger through discussions on space policy, had the stage first.

Carving pumpkins is one of those Halloween activities that never really gets old, no matter how many times you do it. You get to display your artistic talent (or lack thereof), play with sharp objects, and even roast the seeds for a crunchy treat at the end. You won't get any actual pumpkin seeds out of Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival, but it's still a great seasonal space to hang out, carve pumpkins, and partake in other timeless Halloween activities.

Alcohol has historically been part of mountain biking culture, but its glorification poses risks, especially considering the rise in Alcohol Use Disorder in society.
