I'm a millennial pastor in Hawaii who started renting out my car to pay for diapers. I made $3 million last year.
- A Hawaii pastor turned a single Turo rental (a 1998 Isuzu) into Ali'i Rental Cars — 213 cars and $2.95M revenue in 2025.
- He scaled by buying high-demand vehicles (like Jeep Wranglers), taking loans, and hiring staff so he no longer runs daily operations.
- Keeps Sundays off to focus on family and church, and uses the business to support the local community (e.g., helping single moms).

A humanoid robot sprints to victory in Beijing, beating the human half-marathon world record
- A humanoid robot from Honor ran the half-marathon in 50:26 — faster than the human world record — surprising spectators.
- Huge leap from last year (winning time fell from 2h40 to about 50 minutes), with many saying robots “stole the spotlight” and hinted at a new era.
- About 40% of robots ran autonomously (others were remote-controlled); teams emphasize tech like liquid-cooling and athletic designs that could transfer to industrial uses.

Freshman Phenom, Veteran Stars Shine in Ohio State's Spring Game
- Ohio State’s rainy spring game ended with Gray topping Scarlet 35–26, and while the offense put up points the defense (notably Beau Atkinson and Devin Sanchez) was the surprise of the day.
- Freshman five-star WR Chris Henry Jr. made a splash — four catches for 96 yards and a 40‑yard TD — and looked NFL-ready in his debut.
- Returning Heisman finalist QB Julian Sayin and top target Jeremiah Smith give the Buckeyes serious momentum heading into the 2026 opener Sept. 5 vs. Ball State.

Rude names, railways and a mass trespass - how the Peak District became a tourist attraction
- Quirky local legend: Castleton’s cave famously called the Devil’s Arse makes a fart‑like noise when it floods — Victorians tried to tame the name but it’s been restored and still draws visitors.
- 75th birthday: the Peak District was the UK’s first national park (1951) and now gets about 13 million visitors a year — officials are urging use of public transport and even launched a Tube‑style map to ease parking chaos.
- Walkers’ history: the 1932 Kinder Scout mass trespass and decades of campaigning helped push for better access to the countryside, leading to rights‑of‑way mapping and the later “right to roam.”
