V8 Power! 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Becomes Fastest US-Made Car
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has shattered records, claiming the title of the fastest car ever built by a US automaker. During a high-speed run at ATP Automotive Testing Papenburg in Germany, the mid-engined beast hit a staggering 233 mph, with GM President Mark Reuss at the helm. This speed record was set by a ZR1 coupe equipped with a standard chassis, aero package, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The Corvette’s Top Speed Mode adjusted its systems to push the limits, reaching 233 mph in 6th gear with an engineer riding shotgun. Powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the ZR1 generates 1064 hp and 828 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful Corvette yet.

The New York Times warns AI search engine Perplexity to stop using its content
The New York Times has demanded that AI search engine startup Perplexity stop using content from its site in a cease and desist letter sent to the company, reports The Wall Street Journal. The Times, which is currently suing OpenAI and Microsoft over allegedly illegally training models on its content, says the startup has been using its content without permission, a claim made earlier this year by Forbes and Condé Nast. The New York Times prohibits using its content for AI model training. It disallows several AI crawlers, including Perplexity’s, in its robots.txt file that tells search engine crawlers which URLs they can index. Here’s more of Perplexity’s statement:We believe in transparency and have a public page on our website that clarifies our content policies and how we use web content.

Bank of Thailand Kicks Off Easing Cycle to Help Lift Economy -- Update
By Amanda Lee and Fabiana Negrin OchoaThailand's central bank has joined the ranks of monetary authorities who are easing monetary policy, surprising markets with its first rate cut in over four years to help boost the economy. The Bank of Thailand said Wednesday that its policy committee voted five to two to reduce the policy interest rate to 2.25% from 2.50%. Most of the Bank of Thailand's monetary policy committee members voted to lower the policy rate to help alleviate the debt-servicing burden for borrowers, it said Wednesday. The Philippines central bank also delivered a rate cut on Wednesday, its second of the year, while Indonesia opted to hold rates steady but started its easing cycle in September. "There is a very strong case for the central bank to cut further over the coming months," said Gareth Leather, senior Asia economist at Capital Economics.

How Israel’s army uses Palestinians as human shields in Gaza
During that time, Shubeir said, the soldiers used him as a human shield. And though they served in different parts of Gaza at different points in the war, the soldiers largely used the same terms to refer to human shields. The Israeli military employed a similar practice, known as the “neighbor procedure,” in Gaza and the West Bank in the early 2000s. Israeli soldiers have used human shields in a different way. His sister, 15, was later shot and killed after Israeli soldiers entered the building, he said.

Mark Robinson sues CNN and ex-porn store clerk, alleging reports about him were defamatory • Daily Montanan
Mark Robinson sued CNN and a former clerk at a porn store in Greensboro on Tuesday, alleging that they defamed the Republican candidate for governor in news reports about him. A CNN investigation published last month found that an account tied to Robinson had made a series of explicit racist and sexist comments on a pornography website. His local band also produced a music video about Robinson allegedly owing him money from that time. The suit comes weeks after Robinson first hired a lawyer and pledged to investigate the origin of the CNN report. The suit against CNN does not outline explicit evidence refuting that Robinson was responsible for the posts.
