Today's quick update [Oct 26]: - On the first anniversary of the Elfashir Massacre, RSF drone strikes targeting 4 power stations, causing widespread outages across Sennar, Jezira, Gedarif & White Nile states. - SAF drone strikes in Nyala, South Darfur. #KeepEyesOnSudan

For now.

It’s now clear that Big Tech companies believe AI enables them to operate with fewer employees. Hiring of junior workers has slowed, layoffs continue, and Microsoft is now offering buyouts to 60,000 employees. Tech jobs will increasingly lie in smaller tech companies and businesses outside tech.

This isn't really fair to gifted kids who aren't trained teachers and don't know how to teach. It's also not fair to the kids who are struggling and need actual, targeted instruction from an adult who knows how to help kids with learning difficulties.

"But what do we do with the gifted kids, they'll just sit in class and twiddle their thumbs?" I don't know, I guess it's impossible for them to help their classmates, or work on a project in class that uses their curiosity and also teaches their classmates something. <shrug> Guess we can't!

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

JFC, people. We're understaffed. Can you give us a breather?

You mean Israel provided receipts to debunk the world’s false claims?

Neither of these justices are going to retire. Ever. Alito doesn't believe the Republic could possibly survive without him. Thomas knows his "dear friends" will no longer support the lifestyle for which he has become accustomed. Roberts is more likely to ever retire than Alito or Thomas.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net

My armchair analysis of Supreme Court Retirement Watch is that I genuinely don't think Trump wanted or wants Alito or Thomas to retire, because Alito and Thomas are already the Trump administration's de facto representatives on the Court, and I'm not sure he could find anyone better

Police called on a 3 year old Black boy-for being "too good" at soccer. Officers escorted his family away in front of all the other kids. After the league had them trespassed from the field. "They really called the police on a 3 year old because he had the ball too much," dad said.

Thousands upon thousands of Israelis are gathered in Hostage Square, calling for change before the upcoming elections. We can have a better, more peaceful future.

NEWS — A 9th Circuit panel appeared unlikely to immediately grant the Justice Department’s request to segregate roughly 20,000 California ballots tied to people it says are likely noncitizens, per The Hill. Judge Mark Bennett questioned whether the court had jurisdiction.

Agreed, which is odd you're so willing to accept antisemites.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

If it's a choice between saying the popular thing and getting more likes... Or saying the uncomfortable but true thing because people need to hear it even though it costs me likes... I will always try to say the uncomfortable thing. I won't be perfect at it, but at least I'll try.

I shouldn’t be, but I’m shocked by how many people don’t understand what the Kobayashi Maru test is meant to convey. Saying “like Kirk, I don’t believe in no win situations” is like saying “like Ebeneezer Scrooge, I agree that Christmas is a humbug.”
