A recent arrest suggests that underground invaders of city’s sewer system are lured by the promise of lost valuablesThere’s been one thing in particular that has been intriguing New Yorkers this summer: the existence, and whereabouts, of so-called “mole people” – a mysterious group of individuals who spend at least some of their time wading about in the city’s sewers.New Yorkers learned a bit more about the phenomenon this week, when two men were caught red – or perhaps another color – handed, after allegedly emerging from a tunnel in Manhattan. Their arrests have shed some light on a slew of instances where people have been witnessed lifting manhole covers and clambering underground. Continue reading...

Hegseth is obsessed with testosterone therapy. If anything, I’d like the opposite | Dave Schilling

Maybe the key to life is being able to bench press 300lb at 75. But do we need more muscle-bound, angry guys around?I loathe going to the doctor.Not a controversial opinion, compared to some of the other ones in this section of the Guardian. I’m not exactly arguing for universal basic income or for Manchester City to be relegated to the Saudi Pro League here. No one looks forward to a doctor visit, with its recriminations for bad habits or various intrusive blood tests. People don’t have cocktail parties to celebrate their yearly check-up, and yet, it seems like every day, there’s a new reason to go get prodded by a stranger in a lab coat. Continue reading...

Let there be blanks instead of Manchester City’s name on trophies: there was no honour there | Jonathan Wilson

The spaces can stand both as a rebuke to an era of greed but also a tribute to the Premier League’s hunt for justiceAt half-time in the 2014 League Cup final, Sunderland led Manchester City 1-0. Yaya Touré equalised with a casually brilliant 30-yard clip 10 minutes after the break, and City went on to win 3-1. City, we now know from the independent commission, were at the time involved in a prolonged and calculated act of cheating, while Touré, the leaks in Der Spiegel suggested, was being paid via a dual contract to disguise exactly how much City were spending. Although precise details were left to the appendices, the commission’s report refers to payments “not recorded in an employment contract … but instead recorded in a consultancy agreement”.Had Sunderland won, they would not merely have ended a 41-year wait for a trophy but would have qualified for the following season’s Europa Lea
