Rockstar Games and Miami-Dade county's mayor's office are reportedly discussing a marketing tie-in that would rebrand parts of the county to resemble Grand Theft Auto 6's fictional Vice City, according to Rock Paper Shotgun and Axios. Proposed elements include airport signage and baggage displays, branded transit skytrains, a dockyard installation modeled on the game's Port Gellhorn, a classic-car 'Vice City Motor Fest,' murals, wrapped buses, and library programs with GTA-themed cards and recording gear. Nothing has been formally approved, and the county sheriff has publicly opposed the plan, citing the game's depiction of crime.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep.

Canadian auto parts maker Magna International is investing an additional $35 million into Yuma Energy, a Bengaluru-based battery-swapping startup spun out of Yulu in 2023. The new funding raises Magna's stake beyond the 51% it held since the joint venture began, diluting Yulu's share, though the exact new split wasn't disclosed. Yuma has completed over 60 million swaps and has roughly 100,000 batteries deployed for electric two- and three-wheelers.
Two decades after the International Astronomical Union voted in 2006 to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, a vocal group of scientists, historians and enthusiasts continue to push back against that decision. Critics like Philip Metzger of the University of Central Florida argue the IAU's planetary definition is scientifically unworkable, while others such as writer Laurel Kornfeld have campaigned against the ruling since the day it was announced. The dispute remains largely an American phenomenon, tied partly to national pride since Pluto was discovered by a US astronomer in 1930.
A pay-what-you-can dining initiative that started small in Mexico City has grown this year to include more than 100 restaurants across Mexico, the United States, and other countries.

In March 2024, three Romanian nationals attacked Iran International presenter Pouria Zeraati outside his London home, stabbing him in the leg before fleeing to Bucharest via Geneva. Investigators say the assault is part of a broader Iranian strategy of paying foreign criminals—including Russian mobsters, Hells Angels members, and Swedish teenagers—to target dissidents and journalists abroad, allowing Tehran to deny direct involvement.
It has been two decades since the International Astronomical Union voted in August 2006 to strip Pluto of its planetary status, reclassifying it as a dwarf planet after astronomers discovered a similarly sized object, later named Eris, in 2005. The decision remains contentious, with figures like NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and actor William Shatner recently arguing Pluto deserves to be called a planet again.
