Reading recommendations: “The Souls of Black Folk”, WEB Du Bois (1903) “The Indian Problem”, José Carlos Mariátegui (1928) “The Question of Palestine”, Edward Said (1979)
Name one other minority in history whose very existence was openly and ubiquitously discussed as an international “Problem” to be solved.

Brazil is choosing between a guy who did a boat orgy during covid with ties to racketeering death squads and a guy who had the entire establishment trying to put him in jail for corruption and couldn’t

I wonder if winning 1st round of Brazil election wasn't the worst thing that cd have happened to Flávio Bolsonaro. It thrust him + his many skeletons into the spotlight; delivered massive jolt to the left + centre, who have awoken and are mobilizing; & allowed FB to start dreaming of power he doesn't yet hold, which seems to have distracted him. Even Bolsonaristas I've met travelling Brazil in recent days are nervous & seem to think their man has taken his eye of the ball, while the left is on the march.

Interesting to see every single international law scholar remaining on Twitter (most left for BlueSky/Linkedin) outraged at the US’ backtrack re Myanmar

Two and a half years ago, your boss said this 👇 Today you are trying to bully ICJ judges into the opposite position. A reversal that exposes the shameful hollowness of his purported concern for the rights of the Rohingya people.
ICJ ad hoc "judge" Navi Pillay is tipping the scales on the ICJ’s current proceedings on Myanmar, intending to lower the legal threshold for proving genocide so that weakened and false standard can later be weaponized against American and allied soldiers whenever they raise a finger against terrorists that hide behind civilians. Pillay: We see your agenda and we'll be watching the ICJ’s handling of these proceedings very closely. As our actions against the ICC demonstrate, we will not allow globalist, faux-judges to weaponize the law against our troops, undermine our sovereignty, or put American lives at risk.   The Nobel Committee has disgraced itself by awarding the Peace Prize to Pillay. What a shameful choice to "honor" someone who represents an "international community" with a leftist, globalist, antisemitic agenda. President Trump is showing a better way, by actually ENDING WARS, bringing hostages HOME, and making PEACE.

Oh that’s a very interesting conspiracy theory but here’s me organising academic events, following the case and using my platforms to raise awareness of it at its height in 2018-2020. What were you doing 2018-2020 re Myanmar?
Replying to @Alonso_GD
You guys do not and never cared that Myanmar committed genocide against the Rohingya. The mass killing of the Rohingya is completely irrelevant to you. But because you're obsessed with third world hatreds of the Arab world, you raise it once there's a Jew connection.

I wonder if he knows that there’s 16 other judges in this case. That’s at least an 8-judge scale she - one of the leading experts in genocide law, selected to this case back when Western states were anti genocide - is supposedly “tipping”

Insane.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agen…

For comparison, the Chief Executive of the entire NHS England, overseeing every hospital and every strategic decision for the public healthcare system in England, one of the most complex jobs in the country, makes £270,000
It appears that the Israel lobby group Creative Community for Peace advertised a UK-based job. CCFP is legally the same entity as StandWithUs, which is funded by the Israeli PM’s office. CCFP was key to the campaign against Kneecap. The annual wage is £700,000.

To understand what is at stake in Brazil: ⬅️ 19 Oct: Visiting Pará state, Flávio Bolsonaro promises to end “environmental obstacles” and says producers can do “whatever they want” ➡️ 21 Oct: Pará has Brazil’s most fire hotspots in 2026, with 571 in the last 48h, @inpe_mcti says
Finally some global engagement with Brazilian politics. Again guys it’s only the place that is deciding how much oxygen the planet will produce for the next 4-8 years, no biggy

Pitch: "AI will cure cancer" Reality: AI killed the Internet
Whats happening right now is probably way worse than the Hugging Face incident. AI-powered attacks are hitting real organizations while major platforms disclose breaches and critical flaws. - Microsoft reports AI agents targeting hundreds of organizations, reaching privileged cloud access in under three hours in multiple cases. It attributes the ConnectWise compromise to the same group. - CrowdStrike documented four operators running successful AI-agent campaigns. One compromised at least 15 Argentine healthcare organizations. - PHP2Shell: AI helped turn longstanding PHP flaws into working exploits. Cloudflare’s CEO reports millions of exploitation attempts. Their AI involvement is unknown. - Railway disclosed possible access to customer secrets. LiteLLM shipped a backdoored release. Zeabur confirmed another breach and is shutting down. - GitLab patched a maximum-severity flaw affecting 12 years of releases. Node.js patched a serious code-execution vulnerability, with Vercel deploying firewall protections. Feels like a turningpoint.

Jews are not responsible for Israel's actions, Hen.
Instead of saying “Jews control the economy,” now they say, “Israel is why oil prices are high.” It’s the same bigotry, just a modern mutation.

This was not about harvesting olives. It was about harvesting headlines. Brad Lander’s latest stunt is nothing more than a calculated political provocation. Lander traveled to a foreign country, deliberately entered a restricted security area, and participated in an unauthorized activity without the required coordination. What makes this stunt even more outrageous is that his own team contacted Israeli representatives in the United States ahead of his visit and was explicitly informed that proper coordination with the relevant authorities was required. He chose to ignore those instructions. At a time of heightened security tensions, Israeli security forces have a responsibility to protect lives, prevent dangerous incidents, and maintain public order. Had anyone been injured as a result of his reckless political theater, Lander would undoubtedly have been among the first to demand that Israeli authorities intervene and provide protection. Brad Lander came looking for a confrontation. Now he is pretending to be its victim.

This is crazy
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10. Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years. Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.

“Uncoordinated olive harvest” in *his* land. Get out of the West Bank.
Earlier today, a number of harvesters, accompanied by dozens of individuals, arrived to conduct an uncoordinated olive harvest in an area near Beitar Illit. Harvesting in this area requires a request to be submitted to the relevant authorities in advance of the start of the olive harvest season. This coordination is necessary to ensure the security of the area and maintain public order. Due to the security risk posed by conducting an uncoordinated harvest near an Israeli community, IDF soldiers, Border Police forces in Judea and Samaria, and officers from the Judea and Samaria District Police arrived at the scene and detained those present. The landowner was informed that he must coordinate the olive harvest on his plot of land and was provided with the relevant contact information to arrange a harvest at a later date. It should be emphasized that authorized olive harvests have taken place and continue to take place. To date, approximately 100 coordinated harvests have been conducted across Judea and Samaria, yielding many dozens of tons of produce, with security provided and coordination by the security forces, without any unusual incidents. In areas designated for coordinated harvesting, only harvesters will be permitted to enter, solely for the purpose of harvesting. As in previous years, security forces are working to facilitate a safe and orderly olive harvest season, with a firm commitment to enabling harvesting without unusual incidents or interruptions, alongside their ongoing defensive and counterterrorism missions.

“Every single house was rigged with booby traps and had to be destroyed” Meanwhile, the genocidal army:
Israeli soldiers in Southern Lebanon are seen ‘jokingly’ giving a tour of a displaced family’s home while rigging it with explosives. More than 1.2 million people have been forcibly displaced as a result of Israel’s attacks and reinvasion of Southern Lebanon.
