Very few people win the Fields Medal since it is awarded only every four years. But there is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_... Ignorant, racist, asshole.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Following alleged airstrikes against Islamic State by Jordan, a diplomatic crisis has completely blown up between two states tonight. Jordanian airstrikes were heavy handed, likely killing many Syrian civilians even if jihadists were the target.
And, here we go. Jordan has just announced airstrikes against a jihadi group in Daraa (!), southern Syria. Earlier, the state denied links to outside organizations, it seems Amman by evening changed that view. There is only one group they could be targeting there.

“If every piece of software is a door, AI makes it exceptionally easy to turn turn the knobs of every door to see if it’s unlocked ... Not only are some of the locks easy to pick, in some cases the door is wide open or there’s a giant hole in the wall.”

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted
We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

New research involving 378 hospitalised COVID-19 patients found that elevated levels of IL-6, an inflammatory signalling molecule, and neutrophils together in a blood test identified patients with a 14-fold higher risk of death. The test could improve risk prediction, but further research is needed.

Just to clarify something to those who aren’t familiar with Algeria: there will unlikely be any explanation or clarification about this deployment or the nature or scope of the deployment from the Algerian government and/or military. It’s total omertà, as usual.
Literally unprecedented. Algeria to deployment military troops/units to Niger. From what I’m hearing, it’s an open deployment. The official line is to protect investments in the oil sectors (construction of the Nigeria-Niger-Algeria pipeline & facilities). Unofficially, it’s an open mission.

There have now been major voter suppression occurrences registered in 12 out of 27 states in Brazil. Major liberal Brazilian news channel ICL reports São Paulo mayor Ricardo Nunes, who supports Flávio Bolsonaro, said earlier he couldn’t “justify the costs” of running a full fleet in the city today.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Australian police are rolling out Cellebrite's Israeli phone cracking software, and now another Israeli tech firm has turned online ads against our agencies. We need an urgent review of all surveillance companies operating here and the risks they pose to privacy and public data.

The Israel lobby is at it again. The Israel-supporting council in Barnet UK, long an epicentre of the antisemitism scam, has approved a motion declaring anti-Zionism to be antisemitism. The motion targets the Green party’s landmark declaration that Zionism is racism. skwawkbox.org/2026/10/24/lab…

Birds are mostly territorial. When forests are cut, they can't just move to a new one because birds already established there will fight them off. Deer, foxes, rabbits, lynxes, rodents, insects, plants, and fungi have also lost their homes. Trees emit phytoncides that are beneficial to humans.
