Episode of November 1, 2026

The 2026 Mexico City Grand Prix starts at 14:00 local time at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, which is 20:00 (8pm) UK time on Sunday 1 November 2026 (the UK is back on GMT). It is live in the UK on Sky Sports F1 (Channel 4 only has highlights). Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes, 365 pts) seals the drivers' title by scoring just two points — i.e. finishing ninth or better — as that puts him on 367, out of reach of Russell (242), Hamilton (241) and Verstappen (236) with 125 points left; if he scores nothing in Mexico he is still champion provided neither Russell nor Hamilton wins the race.

The player Burrow is passing for 4th place is Carson Palmer, whose Bengals career total is 22,694 yards. Burrow's current career total is 22,463 passing yards (83 games; 20,810 entering 2026 plus 1,653 through six 2026 games), which puts him 231 yards behind Palmer. Note: the Bengals' official game log/career page and StatMuse all only reflect play through the Oct. 25 win over Baltimore (Cincinnati is 4-2 with a Week 8 bye, next game Nov. 8 at Atlanta), so on the data I could read he is still 5th and 231 yards short; if the "moved into 4th" milestone happened in the most recent game, it was Palmer he passed and his total would then be 22,695+.

The Chiefs @ Broncos game on Sunday 1 November 2026 kicks off at 9:25pm UK time (the US 3:25pm CT CBS slot). In the UK it is live on Sky Sports+ (with part of the coverage also on Sky Sports Main Event), with the broadcast starting at 9:15pm; it's also streamable via Sky Go/Now with a Sky Sports pass. Note the DAZN preview page itself was blocked by a VPN/geo wall (HTTP 403), but NFL.com's UK "where to watch" page confirms NFL Game Pass on DAZN also carries every game live in the UK and Ireland.

(1) Black Friday 2026 is Friday, November 27, 2026 (the day after Thanksgiving); Cyber Monday 2026 is November 30. (2) Walmart's 2026 holiday calendar lists three sales: Early Black Friday Deals Nov. 12–15 (online from 12:01 a.m. ET Nov. 12, stores from 6 a.m. local), the official Black Friday Deals sale Nov. 23–29, and Cyber Monday Nov. 30–Dec. 2 — so its Black Friday sale itself begins Nov. 23, with deals starting as early as Nov. 12. (3) Amazon has not yet published an official start date for its 2026 Black Friday sale; its own FAQ says only that early deals are live in the Holiday Shop now and to "check back soon" for Black Friday details, and its /blackfriday page still shows last year's event.

Election Day 2026 is Tuesday, November 3, 2026 (270toWin's page is headed "2026 Poll Closing Times — November 3 Midterm Elections"). All times below are Eastern, per 270toWin's table: Georgia closes 7:00 PM ET, Pennsylvania 8:00 PM ET, New York and Arizona 9:00 PM ET (that is 7 p.m. local in Arizona), and California 11:00 PM ET (8 p.m. local). To check your own polling place, use vote.org's polling-place locator (vote.org/polling-place-locator) or your state's official lookup — e.g., Pennsylvania's is pa.gov/services/vote/find-your-local-polling-place; note 270toWin's own warning that individual polling places may close earlier, so confirm locally.

Confirmed. Juan Atkins, the Detroit techno pioneer, died aged 64 on Saturday 31 October 2026 in his hotel room in Mexico City, where he was booked to play at YuYu Cine Club; he was found unresponsive, taken to hospital and pronounced dead (agency Greensmith Artists confirmed to Resident Advisor; reported by The Guardian, Pitchfork, Billboard and the Detroit Free Press — DJ Mag's own page was blocked by a bot wall for me). No official cause of death has been given: Billboard states plainly "No cause of death has been reported," while the Free Press says friends and colleagues described him as dying in his sleep and notes he had battled diabetes-related complications; Wikipedia's unsourced-in-outlets "heart attack" claim is NOT corroborated by these reports. Agency founder Dragan Greensmith asked that the family's privacy be respected ("His family is currently dealing with extremely difficult circumstances"), and Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield and peers Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Eddie Fowlkes and Richie Hawtin issued tributes. As for his role: born in Detroit in 1962 and raised in Belleville, he met Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson at school to form the Belleville Three, co-founde

Winner: Variety (variety.com/2026/tv/news/savannah-guthrie…) — free, loads with a plain GET, and carries the fullest account of what Savannah Guthrie said: her entire Instagram caption verbatim (the daughter's umbrella drawing, "we ache for her, we cry out for answers, we cannot move forward," "The reward is still available. Please. We are begging you.") plus her closing thank-you and two earlier statements about her mother. Ranking: 1) Variety, 2) Deadline (also free and full, with the same caption plus more case detail like the released ransom notes and the $100K/$1M rewards), 3) NBC News (free but only quotes an excerpt of the caption, though heavier on investigation detail), 4) People (HTTP 402 — blocked, no article body).

Winner: the Sky Sports page. It tells a UK viewer plainly that the Mexico City Grand Prix starts at 8pm UK time on Sunday 1 November 2026, with build-up from 6.30pm on Sky Sports F1 (also Sky Sports Main Event), plus how to watch/stream in the UK and Ireland (Sky, Sky Sports app, NOW day/month pass), free highlights, weather (dry, ~27C) and track notes. Ranking: 1) Sky Sports; 2) RacingNews365 (clean "14:00 local, 20:00 GMT" line and full session schedule, but no UK broadcaster info and its table shows a contradictory 21:00–23:00 race slot in an unlabelled timezone with login prompts); 3) Formula1.com (session times in local time only — global/UK times are only in an image — and it pushes F1 TV Pro rather than UK coverage); 4) ESPN (HTTP 202 challenge, zero readable text).

Winner: Sports Illustrated (On SI) — si.com/nfl/lions/onsi/detroit-lions-lb-ja…. It loads with a plain GET, was published/modified ~29 minutes ago per the page, and is the only one of the four carrying the team's update: "Lions PR reported that Campbell was being transported to a local hospital to be evaluated for a neck injury," plus detail that he and Jimmy Rolder collided while tackling, medical staff worked on him for a lengthy period before he was carted off, Rolder was questionable (hamstring), D.J. Reed questionable (hip), and Aidan Hutchinson gathered the team in tears.

Ranking: 1) SI/On SI (loads, most current + specific, includes Lions PR statement). 2) NBC Sports/PFT — loads fine and gives good play detail (went down twisting T.J. Hockenson on a 10-yard gain, immobilized on backboard, published 3:36 PM Nov 1, 2026) but no condition/team statement in the readable text. 3) ESPN — HTTP 202 with no readable content. 4) AP — HTTP 403 Cloudflare "Just a moment..." bot wall.

Billboard's article (by Mitchell Peters, dated Nov. 1, 2026) is fully readable by plain GET. (1) Date of death: Atkins was found unresponsive in his Mexico City hotel room on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, ahead of a scheduled show at YuYu Cine Club, and was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital; his agency Greensmith Artists announced the death Sunday, Nov. 1. (2) Cause: Billboard states plainly that "no cause of death has been reported"; the only statement is from Greensmith Artists founder Dragan Greensmith, who told Billboard his family is "dealing with extremely difficult circumstances" and asked that their privacy be respected (Kevin Saunderson also paid tribute on Instagram). (3) Named collaborators/projects: Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson (the Belleville Three), Rik Davis (Cybotron co-founder, album "Enter" and track "Clear"), his Metroplex label and Model 500 alias ("No UFO's"), the 1988 compilation "Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit," aliases Infiniti and Audio Tech, and German producer Moritz von Oswald as Borderland.
