Newsmax Sues Fox News for Having a ‘Monopoly’ on Right-Wing News

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-24 17:50:21

Conservative news broadcaster Newsmax is suing Fox News, accusing its fellow right-wing network of having engaged in anti-competitive practices. In an antitrust lawsuit filed in Florida this week, Newsmax accuses Fox of abusing its position at the top of the rightwing media food chain to keep out smaller competitors—namely, itself. “Fox Corporation has long engaged in an exclusionary scheme to increase and maintain its dominance in the market for U.S. right-leaning pay TV news, resulting in su

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-24 17:11:20

As part of its efforts to shore up NASA's flailing Artemis Program, the Trump administration earlier this year proposed two major changes to the agency's deep space exploration plans. First, in the president's budget request for fiscal year 2026, the White House sought to terminate NASA's costly Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft after the Artemis III mission, the first human landing. And second, to focus on "direct-to-surface" exploration, the White House sought to cancel the Luna

Tesla Just Published a New "Master Plan" and Um, How Do We Say This

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-24 20:21:18

Elon Musk's Tesla has revealed its new "master plan" — and it's so chock-full of meaningless corporate buzzwords, we can't help but suspect that it was generated by an AI chatbot. The so-called "Master Plan Part IV" follows up on Musk's preceding "master plan" installment, which underwhelmed investors back in early 2023 with a vague promise to greatly streamline manufacturing, the consequent release of a cheaper EV, and in-house lithium refinement for batteries.

A Shocking Number of Kids Don’t Play Outside

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-10-24 21:10:27

For plenty of us grown-ups, the time spent running around our neighborhoods or hanging by the playground swings was a highlight of our childhood. Kids today often can’t say the same, though. New research shows that a substantial proportion of children aren’t playing outdoors at all, even on the weekends.

Hydrogen-Powered Plasma Torch Decimates Plastic Waste in a Blink

Why sort plastic when you can blast it to oblivion? Sounds extreme, but that’s the idea behind a new technology with the potential to “realize the era of zero plastic sorting”—while minimizing carbon emissions, too. In a press release today, the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMMS) announced the development of a plasma torch that annihilates plastic waste in less than 0.01 seconds—about ten times faster than a blink.

FirstClub bucks India’s speed obsession, quickly triples valuation to $120M with premium approach

While quick commerce in India has become synonymous with 10-minute deliveries — and the hottest play for startups and investors — FirstClub is taking a slower, more curated route. Yet just three months after launching its app, the 8-month-old startup has tripled its valuation. At a post-money valuation of $120 million, the Bengaluru-based startup has raised $23 million in a Series A round (comprising more than 90% equity and the rest in debt) co-led by returning investors Accel and RTP Global.
