Why is there simply no pressure on the Israelis to facilitate humanitarian relief in Gaza?
Heavy rain causes flooding in many parts of Gaza with nearly 70,000 tents damaged.

Exactly
'...nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine...' How did that go?

Google is using its search monopoly to coerce schools into adopting AI. This highlights the danger of allowing an unregulated monopolist to control an essential service. Multiple courts have found Google liable for violating antitrust laws, and this latest move shows it remains unchastened. As the public increasingly pushes back against the use of AI in schools, Google is making clear it will punish those who don’t fall in line.

A perfect example of why monopolies should be crushed out of existence.

In all my days… I’ve never seen a police officer so desperate to arrest someone, yet unable to do so. She was simply reiterating the Government’s position, so what could he do? Arrest the Government?

People need to stop conflating wealth and intelligence.
Elon Musk says going to medical school is pointless "Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now" Peter Diamandis: "So don't go into medical school?" Elon Musk: "Yes. Yeah. Pointless. But I would say that applies to any form of education" "5 or 4 years from now, we'll have better medical care than anyone has today, available for everyone"

Incredibly this doesn't even say you will be arrested if you demonstrate. It says you will be arrested if you are "planning to attend". OK I just looked up the train timetable. Come and get me.
Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation. Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

This sociopath has the audacity to claim that we should all drink less water, use less power, and consume less RAM for our laptops so that his pyramid company could build more Datacenters to sell his AI slop to nobody while his agents hack banks and companies at will! Jail him!
Sam Altman says its bad that everyone's personal computers are using the world's limited supply of memory chips. "It’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAMs sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization."

This is truly dystopian. Not in our name.
Metropolitan Police arrest a 94 year-old-woman for words of support for Palestine on a placard.

Dude who caused the DRAM shortage is now scolding people for hoarding memory inside their own laptops instead of giving it all to him.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources “a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

Thank you, Emmanuel, for your condolences. Unfortunately, the death toll from the Russian strike on a commuter train in Dnipro has already risen to 14. And just a few hours ago, the Russians struck a residential neighborhood in Chernihiv with a drone and killed two girls. They were only 15 years old. In Kremenchuk, a Russian “shahed” struck an apartment building. Tragically, three people were killed. My condolences to all those who lost their loved ones. In these three attacks alone, 56 people have been reported injured, including 10 children. These are deliberate strikes against civilians, brazen in their cruelty, and the Russians are carrying them out right as the humanitarian operation in Oleshky is unfolding. Russia’s signals are clear – they want the war to continue, and everyone around the world must still work very hard to achieve major de-escalation through strong steps and appropriate pressure on the aggressor. Peace is needed – and for that to happen, Russia must end its war and terror.
Je viens d'apprendre avec émotion qu'un drone à réaction russe vient de s'abattre sur la gare de Dnipro, avec un très lourd bilan. J'adresse au Président @ZelenskyyUa et au peuple ukrainien mes condoléances et notre solidarité. Nous devons, dans ce contexte, aspirer à bien plus qu'un cessez-le-feu localisé comme celui qui vient d'être négocié localement à Olechky. Il est intolérable que la Russie continue d'opposer son refus à toutes les propositions en ce sens, en continuant de miser sur l'escalade et en visant les civils. Nous devons ensemble redoubler d'efforts pour une paix juste et durable et amener la Russie à la table des négociations.

“We’ve built software to track Wikipedia editors,” says the head of the ADL. We have an investigation publishing soon about pro-Israel manipulation of Wikipedia, and he just blurts it out
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt: "I have 45 people at ADL—full-time analysts—45 full-time intelligence analysts tracking the bad guys across social media, across AI, across video games, podcasts, crypto, you name it." "[We've built] software to track Wikipedia [editors]…"

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

Jessica: Trump said, “I don’t give a damn. We’re making a fortune.” You might wonder who “we” is. The “we” is him. He holds $81 million in oil and gas stocks. He made more stock trades than all 535 members of Congress put together.

You're telling me the President owns up to $23.1 million of Chevron AND up to $18.4 million of Exxon AND gas is up 40% in a year AND his trades show up weeks after he makes them AND the House voted to ban itself from trading stocks, but the bill doesn't cover him And we're the ones who get banned for posting it.
