View Exterior Photos of the 2026 Lucid Gravity Dream Edition

Read the full review | See Interior Photos The Lucid Gravity Dream Edition is a worthy SUV counterpart to the Air Sapphire sedan, combining supercar speed with minivan interior packaging. While more reasonably priced trims will follow, the Dream Edition makes a properly mind-blowing debut for the model. The Gravity reminded more than one of us of the cult-favorite Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG—another quasi-minivan with serious speed. The Gravity has about the same interior dimensions as the Cadillac Escalade EQ, despite its much tidier exterior size. Believe it or not, there's a perfectly comfortable third row in there. The Gravity hits 150 mph a full three seconds quicker than the Corvette Z06. Surprisingly, the Gravity was a lot of fun on the skidpad, requiring countersteer to keep the tail in line. Keep going to see more photos of the Lucid Gravity Dream Edition.

Louisiana attorney general sues Roblox

The attorney general of Louisiana has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, accusing the platform of failing to implement basic safety controls and making the site the 'perfect place for pedophiles.' The lawsuit, filed on Thursday by Attorney General Liz Murrill, alleges that Roblox 'has and continues to facilitate the distribution of child sexual abuse material and the sexual exploitation of Louisiana's children.' It also accuses the platform of purposely not rolling out basic safety controls to protect children from predators and failing to notify parents of risks. Roblox, which launched in 2006, has 82 million daily active users. The lawsuit notes that 20% of these users are under the age of 8, whereas another 20% are between the ages of 9 and 12. 'Due to Roblox's lack of safety protocols, it endangers the safety of the children of Louisiana,' Murrill said in a statement. 'Roblox is overrun with harmful content and child predators because it prioritizes user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety. Every parent should be aware of the clear and present danger poised to their children by Roblox so they can prevent the unthinkable from ever happening in their own home.' According to the lawsuit, adults can pose as children on Roblox, and children can bypass age requirements to access experiences meant for older users. The lawsuit points to several sexually explicit experiences that were on the platform, including 'Escape to Epstein Island,' 'Diddy Party,' and 'Public Bathroom Simulator Vibe.' A spokesperson for Roblox said that while the company can't comment on pending litigation, the platform dedicates 'substantial resources, including advanced technology and 24/7 human moderation, to help detect and prevent inappropriate content and behavior, including attempts to direct users off platform, where safety standards and moderation may be less stringent than ours.' 'While no system is perfect, Roblox has implemented rigorous technology and enforcement safeguards, including restrictions on sharing personal information, links, and user-to-user image sharing,' the spokesperson said. 'The safety of our community is a top priority.' Last year, Roblox launched a number of safety measures to protect children on its platform, including barring users under the age of 13 from sending direct messages. The measures were implemented following reports that Roblox was exposing young users to dangerous risks, such as grooming and explicit content. Murrill's lawsuit states that Roblox's recent safety measures were implemented too late and are inadequate. The lawsuit seeks permanent injunctive relief, prohibiting the company from claiming that it has adequate safety features and from engaging in any activity that would violate the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act.

A timeline of Michigan's Connor Stalions saga: From his presence on CMU's sidelines to the NCAA's penalties

Michigan's punishment for the Connor Stalions saga has arrived nearly two years after the scandal first broke. Former coach Jim Harbaugh was given a 10-year show-cause penalty, Stalions received an 8-year show-cause penalty and current Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was sanctioned for two years. Additionally, Michigan received fines that will add up to millions of dollars. If you need a refresher on how the reaction to the in-person advance scouting scheme unfolded, we've got you covered. Here's how everything transpired starting with the 2023 college football season. September 2023 We didn't know it at the time, but Stalions was on the sidelines at Michigan State's game vs. Central Michigan. Stalions was spotted with CMU gear on and with a sideline pass from the visiting school. His alleged presence became known in October, as CMU started an investigation to determine how Stalions ended up on the sideline. Just a few weeks ago, CMU said it was working towards a resolution with the NCAA regarding Stalions' presence. The NCAA's database notes that CMU was served with a notice of allegations in June, though the school denies it received one. CMU coach Jim McElwain retired after the 2024 season. He's a former Michigan assistant and reportedly a subject of the NOA. Jake Kostner, also a former Michigan assistant, was the team's QBs coach in 2023. He resigned in September of 2024 for reasons that have not been publicly disclosed. The NCAA addressed Stalions' appearance on the sidelines in its infractions report against Michigan. "On one occasion in 2023, Stalions personally engaged in-person scouting when he stood on Central Michigan University's sideline wearing a bench pass and disguised in Central Michigan-issued coaching gear during the institution's contest against Michigan State. According to interview statements by a former football staff member, Stalions attended that game in part to decipher Michigan State's signals, but also to help a Central Michigan staff member with play calling." October 2023 The NCAA informed the Big Ten on Oct. 18 that it had 'highly credible evidence of a wide-ranging, multi-year in-pwerson off-campus scouting scheme orchestrated by a non-coaching staff member of the University's football program.' Remember, sign-stealing is perfectly acceptable and not against the rules. In-person advance scouting, however, is not. The next day, Yahoo Sports reported on the existence of that investigation. Then-Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh responded with a statement saying that he did 'not have any knowledge or information regarding the University of Michigan football program illegally stealing signs, nor have I directed any staff member or others to participate in an off-campus scouting assignment. Stalions was suspended with pay on Oct. 20. Four days after that, Yahoo Sports reported that Stalions had been purchasing tickets to games featuring teams that Michigan could have faced in the College Football Playoff. November 2023 The Big Ten presented Michigan with what it said was 'uncontroverted evidence' of the in-person scouting scheme on Nov. 2. That evidence showed how Stalions 'participated in and coordinated a vast off-campus, in-person advance scouting scheme.' According to the conference Stalions and others 'video recorded signs used by future University opponents while attending the opponents' games in person.' Stalions found himself out of a job on Nov. 3. On Nov. 4, the Big Ten formally informed Michigan that the school had violated the conference's sportsmanship policy. The conference then used that policy as the grounds to suspend Harbaugh for three games on Nov. 10. The Big Ten said the 'existence of the impermissible scheme is proven' and that Harbaugh would never allowed to be with the team during the week but had to miss the team's games vs. Penn State, Maryland and Ohio State. Michigan and Harbaugh eventually accepted the Big Ten's ruling as the conference's investigation was closed following the Penn State game. The Wolverines went 3-0 in those games under interim coach Sherrone Moore. December 2023 Harbaugh was able to return for the Big Ten title game where the Wolverines beat Iowa 26-0 to cap a 13-0 season. The win gave the Wolverines the top seed in the final four-team College Football Playoff. That same month, Michigan received a notice of allegations from the NCAA regarding the recruiting violation investigation. January 2024 Michigan beat TCU in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff and took down Washington 34-13 to finish the season 15-0. Harbaugh ultimately missed six of Michigan's 15 games during the season. He was suspended for the first three games of the year as part of Michigan's self-imposed punishments for recruiting violations. The final weeks of the season had made it clear that Harbuagh was not long for college football. Rumors of his potential return to the NFL started swirling and Harbaugh left Michigan for the Los Angeles Chargers just over two weeks after the Wolverines beat the Huskies. August 2024 Friday's penalties are on top of the ones handed down to Harbaugh just over a year ago. Harbaugh got suspended for a year and was given a four-year show-cause penalty for recruiting violations and the way that he did not cooperate with the NCAA. The penalties were significant … if Harbaugh was still a college coach. Instead, his suspension is already over and he has three years left on the original show-cause penalty. May 2025 News broke that current Michigan coach Sherrone Moore would serve a self-imposed two-game suspension in Week 3 and Week 4 of the 2025 season for his role in the Stalions scandal. Moore allegedly deleted text messages relating to the scouting scheme and the suspension would be for games against Central Michigan and Nebraska. By not suspending Moore for Week 1 and Week 2, the coach will be on the sideline for the Wolverines' game at Oklahoma in Week 2. August 2025 In addition to Moore's two-game self-imposed suspension, the NCAA tacked on a third game that will be served at some point during the 2026 season. Michigan was fined $50,000 along with 10% of the budget of its football program. Additionally, the school got fined its postseason revenue sharing money for the 2025 and 2026 seasons — the College Football Playoff can be lucrative — and the team was also fined the cost of 10% of its football scholarships for this season. A show-cause order does not necessarily ban an individual from being hired by a school. But in this case, it may be difficult for Harbaugh or Stalions to return to the college ranks anytime soon. Any school that hires either individual would have to explain to the NCAA why the hire was being made and the governing body has to approve the hire. Given the penalties issued Friday, it's unlikely the NCAA would be willing to let Harbaugh or Stalions return anytime soon. However, it's hard to see either man coming back to college football at the moment anyway. Harbaugh is entering his second season with the Chargers after a playoff appearance in 2024 and Stalions is coaching high school football in the state of Michigan.
