Francesca Albanese on why the perpetual conflation, by dishonest politicians like Andy Burnham, of Zionism and Judaism is dangerous.

Totally normal "democracy"

The hunger in the Gaza Strip is part of the election campaign in Israel. Yulia Malinovsky, a Knesset member and candidate on behalf of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, led by Avigdor Lieberman, a right-wing opposition figure, blocked trucks carrying food aid to the Gaza Strip and prevented their entry.

For some reason it's been this month for me too. My brain, on some low level, is getting so bored and tired of the same obvious and non-obvious linguistic cliches, and starting to find it difficult to justify the effort to read when I don't have proof of the effort to write.

Once you "see" AI-generated writing, it's hard to unsee it. This past month has definitely been a before-and-after moment for me.

#programming Fed up with deciphering interleaved logs from concurrent async processes... so playing with ideas to make it make sense. Git-style "tramline" graph toggle for a subprocess could also be useful?

The argument that "antizionism is a conduit for antisemitism feels" irrelevant. If that were valid, we could equally argue that "zionism is a conduit for islamophobia", and "wealth taxation is a conduit for guillotines".

Reading the news, it would be easy to believe that the Green Party has adopted a policy to expel its Jewish members, prevent them from attending synagogue or at the very least scrutinise their activities outside the party. *None of that has happened* 🧵

Credit to the US for making the point the conference was trying to make about US foreign interference in European democracies for them, and bringing more attention to the conference and its themes than they could have possibly hoped for. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Almost all of Meta's PR about Muse was about how careful they had been to set it up not to do things like this, how they delayed the launch by months to carefully design it so it could be trusted. And then...

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.

I'm fascinated by U.S. tech and business journalism because it doesn't adhere to literally any rules of actual journalism. There's no effort to actually explain objective truth; they can't even so much as hint at the fact there's funny math here and the company isn't worth anything close to this

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

Did you know you can see the planets during the day? This is Saturn, photographed 11 minutes after sunrise on 11 June 2021 from Monterrey, Mexico. At the time, Saturn was 1,346,765,000 km from Earth, or about 75 light-minutes away. Credit: Daniel Borja

Google replaced pushing Git tags for certain source code with obtaining source code via Google Drive after making a request through Google Forms. It's completely ridiculous and they've gradually become very slow at handling requests. They're in clear violation of the GPLv2 now.

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn. They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future. Always follow the money.
