Amazon and Microsoft join Google in nuclear energy investments –
💬 Amazon Web Services (AWS) has committed to a $500 million investment into small modular reactors (SMRs) to help fulfill its clean energy goals.
💬 AWS has entered agreements with Dominion Energy and Energy Northwest to study how these reactors could support their target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

New York City is preparing for another clock change — pix11
New Yorkers are preparing for another clock change. On the night of November 3 at 2:00 a.m., the hands of the clock will be turned back an hour. City residents will get an extra hour of sleep, but it will start getting darker earlier.
Despite numerous calls from lawmakers, including those from New York and New Jersey, to abolish the practice of moving the clocks back, no consensus has yet been reached at the federal level.
With the onset of November, the days in New York City are getting noticeably shorter. Already by the end of October, the sun will set before 6 p.m. And on Halloween night, sunset is expected at 5:54 p.m., according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
It's worth noting that not all US states observe daylight saving time. Hawaii and most of Arizona are exceptions.

⚡️The Atlantic compares Trump to Hitler
On Friday, The Atlantic released an article titled "Trump Talks Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini." In it, author Anne Applebaum argues that the Republican has introduced "dehumanizing language" into U.S. politics.
The article sparked heavy backlash from journalists, politicians, and activists. Glenn Greenwald commented that after years of trying to insult Trump with various comparisons, Applebaum has now resorted to comparing him to multiple dictators at once.
The Atlantic’s editor, Scott Stossel, commended Applebaum for her deep knowledge of authoritarian regimes, stating that her comparison should prompt serious reflection when such a knowledgeable figure likens Trump to some of history’s most violent dictators.
In her piece, Applebaum describes Trump's rhetoric as "ugly and repellent," suggesting that the language used by the Republican candidate echoes that of Adolf Hitler.
"More fake news from a third-rate media outlet," — said Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung.
