Worth tracking down tonight's Anderson Cooper's AC360, first ten minutes, w Sen @gallego.senate.gov .

Gallego is holding nothing back. (See attached image, from this story www.rawstory.com/ruben-galleg... I heard this live.)

Text gives you the gist; worth finding video for the vibe.
Transcript: "No," said Gallego. "And I've been very clear. He is a madman. He is insane. He's only thinking about himself." "You really think he's insane?" Cooper pressed him. "Yes!" shouted Gallego. "I'm sorry, where are we at this moment where we don't understand what's happening in this country? The man is threatening war against a NATO ally. We all think this is rational, right? Let's accept what's happening here. He is not rational right now. He is destroying our world reputation or potentially our economic opportunity or economic might and power around the world because he is being petty."

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

federal agents have targeted the rideshare driver waiting area at the o'hare airport on 3 separate occasions over the last 10 days, including twice since saturday.

today, at least 20 agents blocked the exits and demanded drivers show ids.

dozens of people have been abducted—11 on saturday alone.
On Monday, October 20th, ICIRR received confirmed reports of ICE and other immigration enforcement agents targeting ride share drivers at O’Hare Airport’s “Delta Lot”. At least 20 agents have been spotted shutting down the exits of the lots and demanding IDs from drivers. Multiple people have been detained. Please take precautions and avoid the area if you can. Remember: you have the right to remain silent, the right to ask for an attorney, the right to refuse to sign anything, and the right to speak with the consulate from your country of citizenship. If you witness any ICE activity, or if someone in your family has been taken by ICE, please call 855-435-7693 Organized and educated communities are safer communities. Please share this information with others who may be affected.

Covid & Cancer September 26, 2025 Ben Clark Cancer, Covid-19, News There is now compelling medical evidence that Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, and trigger the growth of secondary cancers (metastatic progression). In studies, cancer survivors who contracted Covid had a statistically significant higher risk of cancer-related deaths compared to uninfected cancer survivors. This is such an important issue that BuDS has decided to run an awareness campaign over the autumn and winter. The aim of the campaign will be to warn cancer survivors of the very real additional danger that Covid poses to them.

Government Shutdown Threatens Pay for Air Traffic Controllers
Controllers have already received one reduced check, because the shutdown began in the middle of a pay period. The next pay date, Oct. 28, will be the first fully missed paycheck.

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update
Avatar whatacartouchebag Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image. 5d Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine. So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do: In the url bar, type in about:config It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue. One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top: browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy. The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

I didn't have the means to get a higher education, and I've never been happy about it. The fact that someone who had the privilege of going to law school is doing this shit, instead of actually using the education I couldn't access, really burns me up.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

"What if, in the process of trying to ban AI products that quite actually encourage children to kill themselves, we wind up banning chatbots that help children cheat on their homework, diminish their propensity for critical thought, and lead to the development of other forms of AI psychosis?"
bcmerchant.bsky.social Brian Merchant @bcmerchant.bsky.social · Oct 16
CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

If only OpenAI could have foreseen the entirely predictable hazards of irresponsibly releasing this tech. I guess the estate of every dead person will have to individually request a special dispensation to no longer have disgusting videos made by OpenAI’s tools.

The federal government is still shut down.
Tweet by Jermaine Fowler @thehumanityarchive that reads:”FYI. America has had 10 government shutdowns since 1976. No other developed democracy does this. They keep operating at last year's funding until deals are reached. But here, a shutdown stops child nutrition services and furloughs food inspectors while ICE keeps running, prisons stay full, wars keep going, debt gets collected, and Congress never misses their $174,000 salaries with complimentary gym memberships. They don't close the whole government. They close the parts that help you and keep the parts that serve power.”

"The case is proceeding."

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says the US-backed agreement to end Israel's war on Gaza will have no bearing on his country’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.
