LONDON — A woman who claimed mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse was awarded nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) on Friday by a civil court jury in Ireland. He was mobbed by cameras as he left court but did not comment. The woman’s lawyer said she never pretended to be a saint and had gone out looking for a good time that ended up turning into a nightmare. “How anyone could believe that me, as a prideful person, would highlight my shortcomings.”McGregor’s lawyer told jurors they had to set aside their animus toward the fighter. “I’m not asking you to invite him to Sunday brunch.”The defense said the woman never told investigators McGregor threatened her life.

LAS VEGAS — Max Verstappen is hoping that what happens in Vegas won't just stay in Vegas — it will go down in the history books. Verstappen, 27, of the Netherlands, can secure the trophy by finishing the 50-lap race ahead of his sole championship rival, Lando Norris. Norris needs to outscore Verstappen by at least 3 points to keep his title hopes alive, although they would be slim regardless.

Senate Republicans offered mixed responses Thursday to President-elect Donald Trump's announcement that he will nominate Pete Hegseth, a Fox News personality accused of sexual assault, to lead the Defense Department following the release of a police report concerning sexual assault allegations against him. Some senators defended Trump's pick, while others voiced some trepidation, and a senator told NBC News "I don't care" when approached about a police report released Wednesday tied to an allegation of sexual assault against Hegseth in 2017. Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., also defended Trump's pick, saying he had reviewed the report and would push for Hegseth's confirmation.

Be honest: Would you say work is what you do, or who you are? Now think about the aspects of your pre-retirement self you'd like to carry over into your retirement life in some way. If you can do that honestly, you're more likely to find a satisfying retirement on the other side.

Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, said he isn't holding his breath for an Apple TV. Munster said it's still a "painful topic" since he spent a lot of time looking into the Apple TV and was emphatic that it would happen. However, in 2014, another author, Yukari Iwatani Kane, wrote in "Haunted Empire: Apple After Steve Jobs" that Jobs told Apple employees in 2010 that a TV set wasn't happening. The lesson Munster learned about a company assembling a team and putting resources behind projects that may remain on the shelf continues to apply. Still, Munster's lesson didn't stop him from making a plea for CEO Tim Cook to bring the Apple TV to shelves.

To these stark claims, let me add two supplementary comments that qualify the scale and nature of the shift that I’m describing. First: The end of the post-1989 era doesn’t mean the end of liberalism. Well, maybe. But before going all the way to that conclusion, consider first how many people inside the Trump-Vance coalition still consider themselves partisans of liberal values — defenders of free speech and other liberties they deem most threatened by the left, not the right. And then consider the recent argument from Gray’s fellow critic of liberal overreach, Aris Roussinos, pointing out that the version of the liberal order that bestrode the world after 1989 was quite different from the post-World War II liberal order that preceded it — more utopian in its ambition, more culturally comprehensive in its claims, more imperious and imperial and hubristic and therefore, yes, foredoomed.

X's new terms of service, which took effect Nov. 15, are driving some users off Elon Musk's microblogging platform. The terms are prompting some longtime users of the service, both celebrities and everyday people, to post that they are taking their content to other platforms. Although Musk said in May that X has 600 million monthly users, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower estimates X had 318 million monthly users as of October. That same month, Meta said Threads had nearly 275 million monthly users.

U.S. Treasury yields were lower Friday as investors weighed mixed economic data and assessed the state of the economy. Investors considered the current state and outlook for the U.S. economy after Thursday brought a series of mixed data points. Investors also assessed the latest comments from Federal Reserve officials, scanning them for hints about whether a third back-to-back interest rate cut could be announced when policymakers meet again next month.
