Rockstar Announces ‘GTA VI’ Soundtrack Contains 10,000 Songs By Randy Newman

The Onion | positive | Published: 14:11 Oct 13, 2026 (Eastern)

Rockstar Games announced that the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto VI will feature 10,000 songs by singer-songwriter and film composer Randy Newman. According to lead developer Caleb Grothoff, every radio station in the game will be dedicated to Newman's music, and the licensing budget prevented the inclusion of other artists. Additionally, Newman recorded dialogue for over 90% of the game's NPCs, as well as hours of phone calls and podcasts, and developers are working on a downloadable content pack to replace sound effects like gunshots and car noises with Newman grunts.

Steaming Tender Restaurant in Palmer, Massachusetts

Atlas Obscura | positive | Published: 12:00 Oct 13, 2026 (Eastern)

Located in Palmer, Massachusetts—historically known as the "Town of Seven Railroads" due to its 19th-century emergence as a major regional transport hub—the historic Palmer Union Station built in 1884 has been converted into the Steaming Tender Restaurant. After closing in 1971, the abandoned station was purchased in 1987 by Blake and Robin Lamothe, who restored it over 17 years to open the restaurant in 2004. Today, the establishment features numerous historical artifacts, wait staff dressed as train engineers, and outdoor dining alongside active railroad tracks that allow visitors to watch passing trains.

Canadian software engineer and YouTuber Anthony Sistilli built a homebrewed automatic license plate reader (ALPR) using a 4K surveillance camera and AI software designed specifically to track police cruisers rather than civilians. After testing the dashboard-mounted prototype, local police visited Sistilli's home to question him about his intentions and expressed concern that the technology could allow people to track their locations and daily activities. Sistilli noted that these are the same concerns civilians have regarding government surveillance.
