Crunchyroll Locks Manga Behind Paywall, Shrinks Physical Catalog

Crunchyroll’s store is now paywalled for Mega/Ultimate subscribers and has dramatically reduced its physical lineup, removing most manga, light novels, manhwa, and danmei titles along with the vast majority of Blu-ray/DVD sets. What remains mostly consists of merchandise, with only a handful of Blu-rays from Sony-owned labels (Funimation), Crunchyroll, and Aniplex still listed. Fans blame Sony’s wider push away from disc-based media and acquisitions like The Right Stuf International for the shift, viewing it as part of a broader move toward subscriptions over physical purchases. It’s unclear whether this is temporary or permanent, and Crunchyroll hasn’t publicly explained the strategy beyond noting the paywalled shift. The online backlash has been swift and vocal.

Caribbean CCTV Captures NC mom Liz Waddell entering sea before vanishing

Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell, a 44-year-old physical therapist from Cary, NC, vanished on Grenada’s Grand Anse Beach after surveillance footage reportedly shows her entering the sea around 11:51 a.m. and, about 13 minutes later, swimming beneath a jetty with no footage of her returning to shore. Police say eyewitness accounts also indicate she was swimming in open water; her friend reported her missing later that day. The Royal Grenada Police Force is treating it as a missing-person case and, with FBI input being considered, has not released the footage publicly as investigators continue to search for answers.

Roadside Find Reveals 3,000-Year-Old Bronze Age Rock Carvings Near Oslo

A father and daughter discovered a sandstone panel near Oslo containing Bronze Age carvings—ships, human figures, a footprint, and an unusual broad-handed print—estimated to be about 3,000 years old. Unlike typical granite Nordic panels, the sandstone site preserves clearer tool marks and fewer densely carved details, suggesting a different carving technique. The find, at Kolsatoppen hill in Bærum, adds to evidence that many coastal-art sites remain undocumented and underscores the importance of terrain- and sea-level-based searching in discovering ancient rock art.

NISAR Space Radar Reveals Mexico City's Ongoing Ground Subsidence

New data from NASA-ISRO's NISAR radar show parts of the Mexico City region sinking by a few centimeters per month (Oct 2025–Jan 2026) due to long-running groundwater pumping and compaction of an ancient lakebed; the subsidence has damaged infrastructure and landmarks, and NISAR’s all-weather, dual-band radar enables persistent monitoring of land motion in densely populated or vegetated regions.

Blob near ISS during spacewalk traced to radiator coolant, not alien life

The leak was contained and the astronauts returned to the station. The article also notes the ISS’s long-term operation and a planned de-orbit in 2031.
