Dictionary.com’s Word of the Year is one that we’ve all heard, read, and yes, sometimes even used in varying situations. “Maxxing” is a word that refers to the practice of pursuing an activity to the fullest, or optimizing a certain aspect of your life. It can be used on its own, but it’s often used with a word ahead of it making it work in just about any scenario. While looksmaxxing may be the most well known application, it can be used throughout the day: you can be proteinmaxxing your breakfast, tokenmaxxing AI during your workday, and then end with cozymaxxing at night. Annoyed yet?

The latest online controversy is heartbreaking, namely because there is a super talented, 3-year-old little boy in the middle of it. Nevada Pierre has a huge and growing social media presence because he’s got game; the videos posted show a toddler phenom on the soccer field and that’s what his parents say got other parents upset at a youth soccer game over the weekend. The sports organizer ultimately called 9-1-1 on the parents - admittedly not for an emergency - but because he claimed the mom was “unruly” after complaining her son was taken out of the game because he was “too good.” The highlight of this story: the cops, whose body cam footage shows officers who were there to protect and serve everyone that day.

50-year-old professional photographer, Irene Miller, was taken away in handcuffs as she deplaned from a work trip to Las Vegas. Police have charged her with 4 counts of child neglect after authorities say she left her 14-year-old, 12-year-old, 11-year-old and 9-year-old home alone for several days. Police were alerted when the oldest daughter called 9-1-1 after her 9-year-old brother dropped a dumbbell on his head. Miller says she hired a babysitter for mornings and afternoons, but allowed her kids to stay overnight unsupervised, and now she’s looking at serious, criminal charges.

Convicted murderer, 28-year-old Jacob Morley, is on the run after escaping from the Tennessee Department of Corrections late Sunday evening. Morley was first noticed missing just before midnight, when surveillance footage later showed him “breaching” the prison fence and about an hour later stealing a white truck 2 miles from the prison. Authorities are warning residents in Tennessee and neighboring Kentucky and Missouri that Morley should be considered dangerous and should not be confronted.
