A Meteor Boom, a Blank Ballot, and the Pianist in the House

Today on The Sterling Report: El Niño may be returning, Britain’s oldest known rock art emerges from a Welsh cave, Uber’s lost-and-found box tells on America, and NASA explains the boom that shook parts of New England. Plus, a Long Island village has no mayoral candidates, America prepares for its 250th birthday, a Missouri man finds a $50,000 lottery ticket in his truck, and a Sydney concert is saved by a pianist from the audience.

When AI Becomes Too Kind

In this Sterling Special Report, Art Sterling examines the rise of flattering artificial intelligence, the growing use of chatbots for emotional advice, China’s rapid push in the global AI race, and the need for temperance in the age of powerful machines. A human-centered report on technology, truth, and the future worth keeping.

Duct Tape, Baby Robins, and a 70-Foot Whale

Art Sterling follows the strange and tender stories off the main road: Shuetsu Sato’s duct-tape signs in Tokyo, an electric toilet-paper haul in Australia, Arcata’s Kinetic Grand Championship, a robin nest stopping a Ford F-250 in Olathe, a blue whale skeleton at Oregon State’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, hope for Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, and Joe Symonds, the 87-year-old DoorDash driver whose wrong turn led to unexpected help.

Golden Yaks, Tiny Sea Slugs, and a Secret Skyscraper

Art Sterling follows the stories hiding in plain sight: a golden yak from folklore, a sea slug smaller than sesame, a hidden chamber beneath Lincoln, a chatbot caution, a record made of paper cups, and the Chrysler Building’s secret race for the sky.

Roman Ruins, Record Heat, and Words That Moved America

Art Sterling covers a Roman villa discovery in northern France, early heat across Western Europe, a Minnesota Medicaid fraud case, the death of Clarence B. Jones, the Garden Grove chemical tank scare, plans for a UFC event on the White House South Lawn, Miles Davis’s 100th birthday, and the near-eradication of Guinea worm disease.

A Day to Remember, A Country to Pause

Art Sterling marks Memorial Day with a look at American military cemeteries around the world, the Dutch families who adopt graves at Margraten, the origins of Decoration Day, unsettled holiday weather, public tours at Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, 108-year-old Susan Young Browne renewing her license in Delaware, Sausal Creek restoration in Oakland, and the science behind children’s laughter.

Flying Ferries, Storm Goats, and Trout in Human Hands

Today’s Sterling Report takes the side roads: Norway’s electric flying ferries, hydrogen seeping from ancient Canadian rock, oysters rebuilding a harbor, a million bees on a Tennessee ramp, goats leading rescuers to a buried storm shelter, AI watching for whales, and thousands of trout carried home one silver flash at a time

Kindness, Tall People, and an 800-Year-Old Bathroom Notebook

Today’s Sterling Report follows unusual and uplifting stories from around the world: India’s Rah-Veer Good Samaritan program, Indigenous divers helping control Australia’s sea urchin problem, a medieval notebook found in a German latrine, Singapore’s idea for AI “nutrition labels,” endangered American historic places, severe spring weather, Boston Logan’s remote TSA pilot, Seattle’s Tall Tour, baseball’s “Tarps Off” trend, and a Massachusetts ice cream truck owner whose kindness sparked free treats for children.

Starship, Ebola, and the Question of Progress

Today’s Sterling Report looks behind the headlines: an Ebola outbreak moving through central Africa, the human cost of AI automation, villagers helping bring back India’s giant tortoise, SpaceX’s Starship V3 test, hard questions in Washington, a San Diego security guard who protected children, wildfire evacuations near Simi Valley, an old physics mystery, ancient games of chance, modern heirlooms, and one rancher opening the gate to let the tide return.

A Strike Paused, A Tomb Opened, A Team Says “You’re With Us”
