It isn’t just that the two likely MVPs are playing in this World Series, which begins Friday at Dodger Stadium. It isn’t just that two of the most formidable you-need-to-buy-their-jersey dollar/yen machines of modern times are playing in this World Series. But everything he has done has led him to this moment, to this week, to this World Series. It’s to play in a World Series as a Yankee and do whatever he can to leave people — his people — with a World Series memory for a lifetime. Will it be enough to fulfill Dave Roberts’ prediction that there will be more eyeballs on this World Series around the world than ever before?

TikTok wants to help creators sell their own custom products. Startups like Pietra help creators of all audience sizes break into product development by connecting them with manufacturers and opening avenues to test small-batch orders. TikTok creators can earn a commission on Shop sales they drive from their videos. Boosting sales on TikTok Shop has been a major focus at the company since the feature launched in the US in September 2023.

Even as swing-seat Republicans attempt to paint a more nuanced view of the GOP’s stance on abortion, the national party has often muddled that message. “You can’t hide from it,” said Rep. Kelly Armstrong, a Republican from North Dakota, reflecting on the lessons Republicans learned in the 2022 midterms. Hudson accused Democrats of “creating a false and distorted impression” of the GOP’s abortion position in the 2022 midterms and attacked Democrats for espousing their own “extreme” views on the issue. Since then, Chamberlain has used her own polling to help convince key swing-seat House Republicans to shift their approach. “This is a desperation move by Republicans,” said House Democrats’ campaign chief, Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington state.

AURORA, Colo. — Former President Donald Trump painted a dark picture of Colorado’s third-largest city at a rally here Friday as he once again claimed it had been overtaken by a Venezuelan prison gang. But the city’s police chief told NBC News that Aurora is still “very safe.”“It's not overrun. Without question, Aurora is still a very safe city. Using increasingly inflammatory rhetoric, Trump has seized on other suburban areas with immigrant populations. Asked to respond to Chamberlain’s comments, Trump’s campaign spokesperson pointed to a series of news articles about gang violence she posted on X.

So where are Gen Z's tech founders? Gen Z founders and would-be founders are stepping into a vastly different tech world from that of their predecessors — a world where launching a unicorn is far more difficult, and publicly scrutinized, than it was for the garage-band generation of Jobs and Gates. Gen Z is coming of age in an era when the same Big Tech companies are diffuse and dominant. In other words, millennial founders ran so that Gen Z founders could walk. Perhaps we won't see Gen Z founders standing before a crowd and unveiling their latest shiny products anytime soon.

Despite Aurora becoming a regular talking point at his rallies, a Trump campaign spokesperson declined to specify when or if the former president would visit the city. But Aurora has some important differences: It has a much larger population and has long been diverse. There has been crime, but it’s not clear how much of it is gang-related or directly attributed to increased migration. “They’re going in with guns that are beyond even military scope and they’re taking over apartment buildings,” Trump said Wednesday in North Carolina. Resources in Denver have been stretched thin — and migrants have sought housing in neighboring Aurora, where rent is cheaper.

Lynch was associated with British, American and other intelligence services through his various companies, including the cyber security company he founded, Darktrace. The chef, whose body was found outside the vessel, died by drowning, the coroner said. Local prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio said no personal effects, including computers, jewelry or Lynch’s hard drives had been recovered from the vessel. The vessel did not have a traditional black box or voyage data recorder to record navigation data or audio on the bridge. The costs of raising the ship will fall to its owner, Lynch’s widow, as is mandated by Italian maritime law.

TOKYO — Japan’s government and people cheered the record trophy haul for period drama “Shogun” at the Emmy Awards as yet another win for their history and culture, which are becoming increasingly popular with tourists and international audiences alike. The historical epic set in Imperial Japan claimed 19 awards, the most ever for a single drama season, including best drama and acting awards for leads Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai. Another Japanese period piece, “Blue Eye Samurai,” won an Emmy for the best animated program. The Emmys triumph on Sunday reached Japan on a holiday on Monday, but that didn’t stop “Shogun” from becoming a top trending topic online. “The reason why Sanada is fighting alone so diligently is to give back to Japan,” a user named Rui wrote on X.

The company slipped into the FTSE 250 during September's quarterly rebalancing, index provider FTSE Russell said in a statement, bringing its 15-year run in the U.K. large-cap FTSE 100 blue-chip index to a close. The company's current market cap of £2.34 billion ($3.06 billion) now puts it well below the other constituents of the FTSE 100, as well as some of the top performers in the FTSE 250. As such, funds that invest in the FTSE 100 will exit their Burberry holdings. The luxury label's addition to the FTSE 100 in September 2009 was taken as a further mark of its enduring appeal and its resilience, even amid the global financial crisis. The luxury sector as a whole has suffered from a prolonged downturn in consumer spending amid inflationary pressures and broader economic uncertainty.

Hailed as Britain's Bill Gates, Lynch sold Autonomy, his groundbreaking data-management company, to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion. Shareholders and business commentators were puzzled about what HP, a hardware company, would do with Autonomy, a software company — and why the latter was worth $11 billion. A year after the acquisition, HP wrote down $8.8 billion of the purchase value and accused Lynch of lying about Autonomy's finances. Lynch said HP stifled Autonomy with mismanagement and bureaucracy that pushed out employees and stymied sales. "This verdict closes the book on a relentless 13-year effort to pin HP's well-documented ineptitude on Dr. Lynch," Morvillo said in a joint statement with his attorney colleague Brian Heberlig.
