MAP Alert News (Oct 1-15, 2025)

This list, as with the last, is to be continuously updated throughout a two week period, regardless of what articles Mu posts on top of it. We are now posting stories in order of retrieval, as opposed to publication, so the new stories will always appear on top. If there are more than one update for a given day, they will appear above a horizontal rule.
A comment (C), subscription content (S) and video (V) tag will now appear in this edition to alert readers to non-typical aspects of a story.
We encourage Mu readers to post about any of these news stories on MAP Forum, where they will hopefully get feedback; in some cases, Jim will create a post.
We strongly suggest to readers who like to comment these pieces at the news site, not to wait for the story to appear here, as it will be too late. Instead, conduct your own Google News searches using the prompts at the bottom of our page and ultra-short-dated time range specifiers, e.g. when:24h,or when:48h. For future archives of this news-wrap when they appear, see the tag for MAP Alert News in the header.
