Gen Z-styled protests spread in Mexico, fueled by mayor’s murder

Thousands protested across Mexico on Saturday under the banner of “Generation Z,” denouncing rising violence after the public killing of an anti-crime mayor earlier this month. In Mexico City, a small group of hooded protesters tore down fences around the National Palace where President Claudia Sheinbaum lives, prompting a clash with riot police who deployed tear gas, according to Reuters witnesses.

McLaren issues apology to Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri as the duo are disqualified from F1 Las Vegas GP

McLaren has issued an apology to both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri after the duo were disqualified from the F1 Las Vegas GP for excessive plank wear. The race had been a standard one for the team and the drivers, with Norris finishing second behind Max Verstappen and Piastri in fourth place. After the race, however, in the post-race scrutiny, both McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were found to have suffered from excessive plank wear that led to the duo being disqualified from the race. The result is a major blow for Norris, especially, who had emerged as the championship favorite after this race. If the original results had stayed, Lando Norris would be going into the F1 Qatar GP next race weekend 42 points ahead of rival Max Verstappen and 30 points clear of teammate Oscar Piastri. As it stands, the driver is only 24 points ahead of both Piastri and Verstappen. In the team’s press release, McLaren boss Andrea Stella issued an apology to the duo, as both were hampered in the title battle by the disqualification. He said, “During the race, both cars experienced unexpected, high levels of porpoising not seen in the Practice sessions, which led to excessive contact with the ground. We are investigating the reasons for this behaviour of the car, including the effect of accidental damage sustained by both cars, which we found after the race, and that led to an increase of movement of the floor.” He added, “As the FIA noted, the breach was unintentional, there was no deliberate attempt to circumvent the regulations, and mitigating circumstances also existed. We apologise to Lando and Oscar for the loss of points today, at a critical time in their Championship campaigns after two strong performances from them all weekend. Lando Norris on the McLaren’s double disqualification The disqualification severely hampers Lando Norris, as the driver almost had one hand on the trophy when he emerged in 2nd behind Max Verstappen. The driver had enough of a buffer that, unless he suffered a major incident, he could coast to the championship. Those dynamics have, however, changed now. Lando Norris’ lead over Max Verstappen is not too much, and the driver would have to be careful. In the team’s press release, the driver conceded that what’s done is done as the focus shifts to Qatar. He said, “It’s frustrating to lose so many points. As a team, we’re always pushing to find as much performance as we can, and we clearly didn’t get that balance right today. Nothing I can do will change that now, instead full focus switches to Qatar, where we’ll aim to go out and deliver the best possible performance in every session.” The next race in Qatar is certainly going to be interesting, as with two race weekends left, we have three drivers in contention for the championship. Something that hasn’t been the case since 2010.

Scientists discover light’s hidden magnetic power after 180 years

For nearly two centuries, scientists have believed that only the electric side of light played a role in certain magnetic effects. Now, a new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has turned that idea on its head. Researchers have discovered that the magnetic component of light also has a direct and powerful influence on matter in the well-known Faraday effect. This surprising finding opens the door to new advances in optics, data storage, and emerging quantum technologies. The Faraday effect was first discovered in 1845 by the British scientist Michael Faraday. It describes what happens when a beam of light passes through a material that is placed in a strong magnetic field. As the light travels through the material, its polarization, or the direction in which it vibrates, slowly rotates. For more than 180 years, this effect was explained only in terms of the light’s electric field interacting with charged particles inside the material. The weaker magnetic field that travels with light was considered too small to matter. Dr. Amir Capua and Benjamin Assouline, from the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, challenged this long-standing assumption. Their new study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, provides the first solid theoretical proof that the magnetic field of light contributes directly to the Faraday effect. In simple terms, light does not just shine on materials, it can also influence them magnetically. Light is made up of both electric and magnetic waves that move together through space. When a constant magnetic field is applied to a material and light passes through it, the light is “twisted” in a way that reveals the magnetic properties of that material. What Capua and Assouline found is that the tiny magnetic wave inside the light itself helps create this twisting motion. It acts on the spinning particles inside the material and produces a kind of magnetic push, known as a torque, similar to what a regular magnet would do. To test and measure this effect, the researchers focused on a special crystal called Terbium Gallium Garnet, or TGG. This material is commonly used in experiments involving the Faraday effect. Their calculations showed that the magnetic part of light is responsible for about 17 percent of the rotation seen in visible light. In the infrared range, its contribution becomes even more important, reaching up to 70 percent of the total effect. This discovery changes how scientists understand the interaction between light and matter. It suggests that light “talks” to materials in more ways than previously believed, using both its electric and magnetic components. The findings could lead to new technologies in spintronics, where the tiny spins of particles are used to store and process information, as well as in optical data storage and future quantum computing systems. By revealing the hidden magnetic influence of light, this study not only rewrites a chapter of physics history but also opens up exciting possibilities for the technologies of tomorrow.

Shiba Inu December Surprise Announced by Coinbase: Two Key Dates

Major crypto exchange Coinbase has unveiled a December surprise, which includes Shiba Inu. In positive news, Coinbase will be launching new U. S. perpetual-style futures for Shiba Inu, giving retail traders access to one of the most widely used derivatives products in crypto within a regulated environment. Shiba Inu also stands to benefit from the upcoming launch of 24/7 trading for altcoin monthly futures. In a tweet, Coinbase reveals major developments, saying, “December just got major for altcoin traders,” while highlighting two key dates ahead. In May this year, Coinbase launched 24/7 trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, making it the first time leveraged futures contracts could be traded around the clock on a CFTC-regulated exchange. At the time, Coinbase revealed that its Derivatives Exchange was actively working to introduce perpetual-style futures to the U. S., highlighting the 24/7 trading start as only the beginning. Two key dates revealed According to Coinbase, beginning Dec. 5, 24/7 trading will go live for all altcoin monthly futures from Coinbase Derivatives. On Dec. 12, Coinbase will be launching new U. S. perpetual-style futures for all altcoins. The assets launching include Shiba Inu (SHIB) and 10 other cryptocurrencies, such as Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot, SUI and Stellar. The launch will give retail traders access to one of the most widely used derivatives products in crypto within a regulated environment as well as round-the-clock and weekend trading of altcoin futures, including Shiba Inu. Shiba Inu in spotlight This week, news went out that Japan has officially green-lighted SHIB, making it eligible for a 20% flat tax, putting it in the same category as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This week, major crypto exchange Gemini announced the launch of new perpetual contracts, including Shiba Inu. Gemini’s European customers can now trade perpetual contracts for Shiba Inu, allowing users to take long or short positions with up to 100x leverage and no monthly expiration date within the Gemini platform.

Pols & Politics: Healey staffer takes ‘a digger’

You can’t plan an accident. A staffer for Gov. Maura Healey was reminded of that fact during a press conference Thursday. Gov. Maura Healey was holding the press conference outside her office, calling on President Donald Trump to release Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding immediately, when she was interrupted mid-speech by a loud thud followed by collective gasps. At first, there was confusion among reporters and elected officials alike, with many concluding that someone standing way in the back of the room, behind all the cameras, reporters and equipment, had fainted hitting the ground hard enough to stop the entire event. When she realized the victim may be one of her staffers, Gov. Healey rushed from the podium, dashed through the collection of TV cameras and members of the media, and to the aide of her employee with genuine concern and a look of worry on her face. It really seemed like a serious medical situation was unfolding right in front of the governor and the media who covers her. But, thankfully, it all ended with a comedic sigh of relief when the unfortunate Healey staffer cried out that she was okay and just “took a digger” as she tripped over TV equipment. The press conference went on, and a slightly shaken, and perhaps mildly embarrassed staffer was left unscathed. Brian Shortsleeve wins another endorsement Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Shortsleeve has picked up another early endorsement in his campaign for the state’s executive office. Shortsleeve announced Thursday that he’s earned the endorsement of state Rep. and House Republican WHIP Leader Brian Frost (R-Auburn), marking the second legislative endorsement for the candidate in as many weeks. “Every day at the State House and all across the Commonwealth, I see the need for new leadership in the Corner Office,” said Frost. “The Republican field for Governor has terrific people willing to step up to make a positive difference for Massachusetts and I strongly believe Brian Shortsleeve has the best chance to win in November against Maura Healey. I find his energy to communicate his message and relate to the voters refreshing.” Shortsleeve welcomed Frost’s endorsement, highlighting his “long record of public service.” “I’m honored to receive Representative Frost’s endorsement. He has been a longtime leader in the Massachusetts House, fighting for taxpayers across the Commonwealth,” Shortsleeve said. “Our team is growing every day. Representative Frost’s support is another major boost for our campaign.” Frost joins State Senator Peter Durant (R-Worcester) and State Reps Marc Lombardo (R-Billerica) and Nick Boldyga (R-Southwick) in endorsing Shortsleeve for governor. Congressman Stephen Lynch introduces bill for nationwide affordable housing Democratic Congressman Stephen Lynch (MA-08) joined Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain (MI-09) and members of the House Financial Services Committee on Friday to introduce legislation that would create more access to affordable housing access across the country. A bi-partisan effort, the Modular Housing Production Act would facilitate the financing and construction of affordable housing nationwide. It would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to review all construction lending programs administered by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and promptly address barriers that currently limit construction financing for modular homes-highly-affordable single and multi-family dwellings that are built in sections and then assembled on a permanent site in accordance with state and local building codes. “Amid a national housing crisis that includes a severe shortage of more than 7 million affordable homes and single-family home prices that exceed the median household income five times over, the Modular Housing Production Act will better ensure that homeownership is attainable for America’s working families,” said Rep. Lynch. “I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation with my colleague Rep. McClain, and I am grateful to Ranking Member Maxine Waters and Chairman French Hill of the Financial Services Committee for their continued leadership in support of housing affordability.” The Modular Housing Production Act has also been introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as part of the bipartisan Road to Housing Act that passed the U. S. Senate in October of 2025.
