'It's going to be really bad': Fears over AI bubble bursting grow in Silicon Valley
In recent days, warnings of an AI bubble have come from the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, as well as JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon who told the BBC "the level of uncertainty should be higher in most people's minds".
And here, in what is often considered the tech capital of the world, concerns are growing.
At a panel discussion at Silicon Valley's Computer History Museum this week, early AI entrepreneur Jerry Kaplan told a packed audience he has lived through four bubbles.
He's especially concerned now given the magnitude of money on the table as compared to the dot-com boom. There's so much more to lose.
"When [the bubble] breaks, it's going to be really bad, and not just for people in AI," he said.

Immigrants selling food, flowers and other merchandise in California will have new privacy protections intended to keep their identities secret from federal immigration agents.
The measure, signed into law this past week by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, comes on the heels of other recently enacted state laws meant to shield students in schools and patients at health care facilities from the reach of President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement actions.
Democratic-led states are adding laws resisting Trump even as he intensifies his deportation campaign by seeking to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-led cities to reinforce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who are arresting people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

Naked bike riders demonstrate against federal troops in 'quintessentially Portland' protest
Protesters rallying against the Trump administration in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display Sunday by pedaling through the streets wearing absolutely nothing — or close to it — in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride.
Crowds that have gathered daily and nightly outside the immigration facility in Oregon’s largest city in recent days have embraced the absurd, donning inflatable frog, unicorn, axolotl and banana costumes as they face off with federal law enforcement who often deploy tear gas and pepper balls.
The bike ride is an annual tradition that usually happens in the summer, but organizers of this weekend’s hastily called event said another nude ride was necessary to speak out against President Donald Trump’s attempts to mobilize the National Guard to quell protests.

MTV spegne i canali musicali in Europa: è davvero la fine di un’era?
“I want my MTV” è stato il grido di una generazione. Quarant’anni dopo, MTV archivia un altro capitolo della propria storia: entro il 31 dicembre 2025 verranno spenti in UK i canali tematici MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV e MTV Live; resterà in onda solo il flagship MTV a programmazione d’intrattenimento. La stessa strategia tocca altri Paesi europei (con ulteriori chiusure nell’Europa centrale e nel Benelux), in linea con un consumo dei video musicali ormai migrato su YouTube, Instagram e TikTok. In Italia, invece, al momento sopravvivono sia MTV (intrattenimento) sia MTV Music su Sky/NOW, un lascito che tiene accesa la fiammella della “Music Television” per gli abbonati.

Il libro dialoga con il lavoro pluriennale dell’autrice e si affianca idealmente ad una sua opera di riferimento, “Nativi Americani. Guida alle Tribù e Riserve Indiane degli Stati Uniti”, tracciando un dittico complementare: da una parte la mappa dei popoli e dei territori, dall’altra il cuore simbolico dei miti e delle pratiche spirituali. Ne scaturisce un percorso che non folklorizza né semplifica, ma accompagna con precisione e rispetto studiosi, docenti, studenti, operatori culturali e lettori curiosi e appassionati.
Questo titolo si inserisce nella vasta collana che Mauna Kea Edizioni dedica da anni alla cultura nativa, un progetto editoriale che preferisce la cura alla fretta e la responsabilità all’effimero. Non un marchio che “presenta”, ma una casa editrice che continua a farsi tramite: scegliere i testi, ascoltare le comunità, offrire strumenti affidabili e accessibili, sostenere la lunga opera di divulgazione che Raffaella Milandri – insieme ad altri autori come Francesco Spagna e il poeta Lance Henson - porta avanti con molte pubblicazioni e con un impegno coerente sui diritti umani e sulla decolonizzazione dello sguardo.

Where should I start? Absolute newb with a kit

The original juice and hops are probably toast by now so I'll have to purchase some new, but I've got two of those jugs and the other bits that come with them.
I also have a small orchard in my back yard and wanted to try to use the thousands of plums in get every year to make some kind of lambic ale.

Pro-Israel group gets £7m from UK government to 'identify' antisemitism
The British government is giving a £7m ($9.33m) funding package to a pro-Israel organisation to deliver antisemitism training in universities.
The Union of Jewish students (UJS) has links with the World Zionist Organisation, which funds illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Under the scheme, the UJS will offer some 600 training sessions to university staff over the coming weeks to help them "identify harassment and hate" and facilitate "open, respectful debate", the Department for Education (DfE) said on Sunday.
Most British universities refer to the IHRA's definition of antisemitism, which has been slammed by opponents as an attempt to impose censorship on valid criticisms of Israel.

Saleh al-Jafarawi, the Doghmush clan, and the illusion of ceasefire
Saleh al-Jafarawi was abducted and executed by members of the Doghmush clan—an anti-Hamas faction within Gaza. He was not killed in battle, but in a context of internal militias acting under external influence.
This stark fact deserves to be front and center, because it exposes a quiet architecture of violence that functions even in moments when a ‘ceasefire’ supposedly holds. This is the occupation’s most insidious form, a war fought not through tanks or jets but through collaborators and chaos, ensuring that Gaza never truly rests. In this architecture of endless war, ceasefires are illusions, fragile pauses that conceal the unbroken machinery of control, where Israel’s hand remains unseen but ever present, orchestrating violence even in silence.
The idea of a ceasefire is deeply compromised in this model. Even when shelling or open military operations between Israel and Hamas pause, the war continues in shadow. Militia violence, kidnappings, assassinations: these are not paused by ceasefire agreements. The killing of al-Jafarawi during a period when hostilities at the border were reduced shows that ceasefire does not guarantee safety. It merely shifts some forms of warfare from open battlefields to intra-Palestinian rivalries and clandestine operations. This makes peace an illusion for many civilians, who cannot distinguish between external assaults and internal betrayals.
This is not a failure of policy but its intended outcome. Israel has long understood that total military victory in Gaza is unattainable; they have seen countless defeats. What is attainable is permanent incoherence. The tactic amounts to a form of entropic warfare: the deliberate creation of chaos to prevent reorganization. Rather than occupying territory directly, Israel governs through collapse. The breakdown of social cohesion performs the same function as a garrison. When Palestinians no longer trust their own institutions or each other, Israel’s strategic goals are met without the need for visible control. The killing of Saleh Al-Jaafrawi illustrates this invisible war.

PM Starmer says UK ready to help in removing Hamas weapons
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says his country is ready to assist in monitoring the ceasefire in Gaza.
He offered the UK’s experience in Northern Ireland to help in the decommissioning of Hamas’s military capabilities.
“We stand ready in relation to monitoring the ceasefire and decommissioning Hamas capability and weaponry, and that’s drawing on our experience in Northern Ireland and the IRA [Irish Republican Army], which we dealt with in particular in relation to decommissioning,” he said.

US military veterans increasingly face arrest and injury amid protests over Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and his push to deploy national guard members to an ever-widening number of American cities.
The Guardian has identified eight instances where military veterans have been prosecuted or sought damages after being detained by federal agents.
The latest incident occurred in Broadview, outside Chicago, where 70-year old air force veteran Dana Briggs was charged with felony assault on a federal officer on 29 September.

DISTURBED's Belgian Show Cancelled Over DAVID DRAIMAN's Photo Signing IDF Missiles
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mayor of Vorst, Belgium, has officially banned an upcoming Disturbed concert, citing public safety concerns stemming from frontman David Draiman’s outspoken support for the Israeli army – namely that one picture where he's signing missiles that'll kill people shortly thereafter.
Disturbed was scheduled to play Vorst Nationaal on Wednesday, October 15, but the plug has now been pulled following a police order issued by Mayor Charles Spapens (PS) according to De Standaard.

Dude has always been an edgelord in some capacity. He probably thought it would be edgey to sign a bomb, regardless of who made it and who it would kill.
Though, I have zero doubts that David also has some questionable viewpoints on that stuff as well. I'm not aware of any, but I also haven't really heard anything from that band since the late 90s/early 2000s.
Good job getting cancelled buddy. Enjoy obscurity.
Samantha Power secretly colluded with Israel to enhance UN role, leaked emails show
Behind closed doors, the noted ‘humanitarian interventionist’ successfully lobbied for Israel’s inclusion on important UN committees even after the Human Rights Council accused it of targeting civilians in Gaza.
The leaked emails also reveal that Israel furnished Power with a dodgy dossier on Syrian chemical weapons as she pushed regime change in Damascus.
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power secretly coordinated with a top Israeli diplomat to secure Israel’s access to multiple prestigious UN committees, leaked files show.
Power used her platform at the UN to thunder for military intervention in Syria, frequently exploiting the US-backed opposition’s questionable claims of chemical attacks to make her case. And from almost the moment she entered her position, Israel was feeding her cooked intelligence apparently alleging that Syria held a vast arsenal of WMD’s.

Vance warns 'deeper' cuts ahead for federal workers as shutdown enters 12th day
JD Vance on Sunday said there will be deeper cuts to the federal workforce the longer the government shutdown goes on, adding to the uncertainty facing hundreds of thousands who are already furloughed without pay amid the stubborn stalemate in Congress.
Vance warned that as the federal shutdown entered its 12th day, the new cuts would be “painful,” even as he said the Trump administration worked to ensure that the military is paid this week and some services would be preserved for low-income Americans, including food assistance.
Still, hundreds of thousands of government workers have been furloughed in recent days and, in a court filing on Friday, the Office of Management and Budget said well over 4,000 federal employees would soon be fired in conjunction with the shutdown. The effects of the shutdown also grew Sunday with the Smithsonian announcing its museums, research centers and the National Zoo are temporarily closed going forward for lack of funding.
