Emily Harrison-Suhr spent her teenage years selling pink buns to raise money for cancer research — now at 31, she's been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer herself, and the community that once bought her baked goods is rallying around her. A venture capitalist tweets that earning $500,000 a year in San Francisco still leaves you feeling like part of the "permanent underclass" — and the internet cannot decide whether to laugh, cry, or agree. In the ancient town of Asuka, Japan, a giant granite monolith called the Rockship of Masuda sits carved from solid rock — 36 feet long, covered in mysterious square holes, and completely unexplained after centuries of speculation. On a Tuesday at Narragansett Beach in Rhode Island, a massive teen gathering erupts into violence — three people are stabbed, hundreds of beachgoers flee, and two adults are arrested. And in West Palm Beach, Florida, a man gets into an argument with his neighbour over fruit storage and responds by setting his own apartment on fire.Five stories. All real. All strange.The Daily Strange — where truth is always weirder than fiction.
