Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Hampton police: Man charged in AI deepfake harassment campaign (fosters.com) — Hampton police say a Massachusetts man is jailed without bail, accused of a yearlong AI deepfake harassment campaign targeting a Hampton resident and becoming the first person charged locally under New Hampshire's new deepfake law. Investigators describe repeated contacts despite a stalking order, a humiliating fabricated arrest video, and ongoing concerns about how easily AI tools can be abused against residents.
2. Seacoast prepares for potential weekend nor'easter (wmur.com) — Hampton crews and police are already putting up barriers and monitoring tides as a possible weekend nor'easter approaches, with rain expected as early as Friday night. Local residents are securing property and urged to stay off the beach and be ready for potential flooding or road closures in low-lying areas.
3. Scores for every Exeter vs. Winnacunnet football game since 1924 (fosters.com) — Hampton football fans can look back at every score from the nearly century-long Exeter–Winnacunnet rivalry, including games played when local students still attended Hampton Academy and High School. The list tracks how the matchup has swung over the decades, right up through recent playoff clashes.
4. Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in New Hampshire (laconiadailysun.com) — Hampton homeowners are seeing typical home values around $631,000, up more than $29,000 in just a year, as part of a broader surge in New Hampshire housing prices. A new statewide ranking shows Hampton mid-pack among 50 communities, but still facing tight inventory and rising costs that affect anyone hoping to buy, sell, or stay put locally.
5. Lobster beyond the roll on the Seacoast (wmur.com) — Hampton Beach diners can still indulge in creative lobster dishes at Sea Ketch even as summer crowds thin, from lobster rangoons to lobster street corn alongside classic rolls. The story also highlights inventive lobster plates in nearby Portsmouth, showing how Seacoast chefs are reimagining this New England staple well into the fall season.
