However, this September’s snowfall is all but a certainty as C.L.U.P. (Combined Local University Party) is committed to bringing Singapore’s first rave with subzero temperatures to form. The organizer is turning this party into “Snow City,” which will feature one room at normal temperature and another with conditions dipping down to -7° Celsius (equivalent to roughly 20° Fahrenheit). “There will even be blizzards at random times,” they...

Editor’s Note [August 20th, 2022, 7:27pm]: This report has been updated to include a statement from a representative of the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, who, when reached for comment, was unable to confirm whether or not the suspect was planning a mass shooting.

As headliner John Summit famously tweeted (and has since deleted), “I’m drunk and I’m high and I’...
