The Grace Hopper conference--the largest gathering of women in tech--was abruptly cancelled due to insufficient funding. Women are underrepresented in tech and AI globally. Truly, society is losing out by not investing in women in tech. forbes.com/sites/sandycarter…

AnitaB.org canceled the 2026 Grace Hopper Celebration weeks before it opened. Here is what the loss means for women in AI and the companies hiring them.

Nearly a third of the French education budget is spent on pensions. While students are on the streets again today, the 🇫🇷 finance ministry has published this breakdown for the first time
Maxime Sbaihi@MxSba17h
C'est HISTORIQUE: Bercy publie pour la 1ère fois le poids réel des pensions dans le budget de chaque ministère. Attention, ça pique: 32% du budget de l’Éducation nationale et 30% du budget de l'Intérieur part en réalité dans... les retraites Tous les ministères sont concernés⤵️

Plus de quatre siècles d'histoire partis en fumée à Paris. Le marché des Enfants-Rouges, plus ancien marché alimentaire couvert de la capitale, a été ravagé par un incendie dans la nuit du 11 au 12 octobre. Fondé en 1615, sous le règne de Louis XIII, il portait initialement le nom de "Petit Marché du Marais". Son nom actuel provient d'un hospice voisin, fondé en 1536 à l'initiative de Marguerite de Navarre, sœur de François Ier. Les orphelins qui y étaient accueillis portaient des vêtements rouges, d'où leur surnom d'"Enfants-Rouges". Source : lemonde.fr/societe/article/2…

What does "legitimate" even mean here? The Electoral Commission found massive breaches of electoral laws. It was the biggest case of electoral fraud in at least a century. And that's *before* considering question of Russian interference.

PM believes Brexit vote was legitimate despite Russia claims, No 10 says

It is "inconceivable" that Russia did not try to use the referendum to its advantage, No 10 said, but the PM believed it did not succeed in influencing the result.

Threats of Political Violence Have America’s Elected Officials Living in Fear

A Times investigation has found that violent threats have become a new normal among public officials, reshaped private lives, cost millions in security and pushed people out of office.

It’s not just the government that covered up Russian interference in Brexit. The press also played its part. This is one of the only times I was ever interviewed on the subject… by US media.

Here it is. This is the clip from yesterday's @CNN interview where I'm asked - for first time ever - about Brexit-Trump-Russia. "These vital questions of national security have been interpreted as about politics. And it's not about politics. It's about power. And about Putin."

So this is obviously the official pushback to the line on Russian interference & it’s the same nonsense that Boris Johnson spouted: ‘no successful interference’ is utterly meaningless. There’s never been any investigation & no definition of what ‘success’ means.

Thirty-two US states still allow child marriage. Two states have no minimum age limit, and kids as young as 10 are married in the US. Astonishingly, some progressive groups defend child marriage as "child rights." This is nuts. My @nytopinion column: nytimes.com/2026/10/10/opini…

Opinion | How Is Child Marriage Still Legal in the U.S.? (Gift Article)

Children are still allowed to marry here in the United States because of zealots on the left and right alike.
