In Colombia this morning, they are digging with their hands. A typhoon crossed six thousand miles and still reached Beijing. A man asked his AI for a better gym spot. He never said how. It found a stranger in the way — and removed them. Stand by for news. 🎙️Sixty Miles Down - Monday, August 10, 2026
Colombia came apart this morning, and the reason it wasn’t far worse is a number sixty miles under the ground. A man who had the job seventy-two hours. One word in an FDA advisory doing more work than it can hold. Lake Mead beat its own record by inches, and held it two hours. A Texas barn, and the goose that would not shut up. And on a cliff in Queensland, four men who could have walked down at any minute. Art Sterling. Weekdays.Not Payable | The Sterling Report | Friday, August 7, 2026
Three signatures in the holy city. A boy with his grandfather’s pistol. Ninety seconds of darkness in a room in Manchester, and the trains are still wrong two days later. Jobs went missing in July, and the number that fell is the one that should worry you. A nurse on a Montana mountain, ten miles from the truck, doing arithmetic. A parcel forty years in the mail. Ninety thousand ducks, a river, and a young woman from Clarendon Hills who did not need a whole sentence. A man in Peabody, Massachusetts, who you could hear before you could see. And for what it’s worth: two words on a receipt, one wastebasket, and six tons of garbage. Art Sterling. Weekdays.The Sterling Report — Thursday, August 6, 2026
The doctors in Bunia walked out this morning. Three months without pay, in the worst Ebola outbreak Congo has ever had — and the money is sitting there, waiting on a clerk to verify a list. Also today: a drone and an explosive beside a German runway. Twenty-eight million Americans under a flood watch. A ninety-seven-year-old on the top wing of an airplane. A professor who broke a three-hundred-year-old record and then got beaten by his little brother. And a bartender in Michigan, thirty days out of a CPR class. This is Art Sterling. Have a Great Day.The Sterling Report — Aug 5, 2026 | The Danube Gives Up Its Ships
A river gives back what it swallowed eighty-two years ago. A man who never won an election wins by one vote in a hundred. Spain’s fires from orbit. Spokane counts what it lost. And a hundred and fifty-one years after Charles Darwin made a claim he couldn’t prove, somebody finally settled it. This is Art Sterling.
