That peculiar light in the night sky known as Tabby’s Star is at it again. After causing an uproar in the science community on several occasions as space geeks tried to figure out why it regularly grew brighter and dimmer (by as much as 20%) it mostly stabilized out for the last couple of years.

Good morning. Aaron here filling in for Adam. I’ve been covering T-Mobile for the past few years, beginning just slightly after John Legere came on as CEO in late 2012, with all his outspokenness and his new ideas for shaking up the wireless market. It’s been an awesome story. What’s the old saying? First they ignore you, then they laugh
The Philippine government has imposed martial law on Mindinao after radical Islamic extremists launched attacks, but it didn’t stop the terrorists from conducting operations. The rebels took a Catholic priest and 13 parishioners and parish employees hostage this morning after attacking the church, despite a blackout in the city of Marawi in which the church was located: Muslim extremists abducted
