Palestinian detainee Bahīj Mohammad Mahmoud Badr (50), from Beit Liqya west of Ramallah, is facing dire humanitarian and health conditions inside Israel’s “Ganot” prison, amid the ongoing policy of starvation, torture, and total isolation imposed on long-term prisoners.
Badr has lost a significant amount of weight due to deprivation of food and medical care and suffers from chronic pain under deliberate medical neglect. He has also been denied lawyer visits for months.
The detainee remains unaware that his brother, Baher Badr, was released in the latest prisoner exchange, as he has been completely cut off from his family since the genocide in Gaza began.
Israeli prison authorities have repeatedly assaulted him during transfers to visits, forcing him to request that visits be halted to avoid ongoing humiliation and abuse. His case represents the systematic suffering of long-term and life-sentenced Palestinian prisoners.
The Prisoners’ Media Office holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for Bahīj Badr’s life and calls on international human rights institutions to urgently intervene to stop Israel’s systematic crimes against Palestinian detainees.

‘We Were Living in Torture Centers’: Freed Prisoner Speaks to the Palestine Chronicle
By Fayha Shalash – RamallahThe Palestine Chronicle
We used to say that the Crypto hype and the AI hype were different. That crypto was just a bunch of grifters stealing people's money but AI had at least some actual tech.
Looking at how the AI companies manipulate each other's stock value I am not sure that statement is still true.
Was ein RAUBzug!
Erst klauen sie uns die komplette Kultur, werfen sie in den Häxler und verkaufen uns diese verwaschenen Kopien. Bringen die Investoren rein und wenn die Blase platzt zahlen nicht die CEOs von den KI Firmen und NVIDIA, sondern die Investoren werden beraubt.
Und wenn dann noch Datencenter rumstehen und die doch irgendwie genutzt werden sollen, schaut uns ne KI ständig auf die Finger und raubt uns die Freiheit!

I recently had some inspiration for a Dungeons & Dragons themed pun, but I had to write a poem in #Latin elegiac couplets to make it truly work. I realize I'm targeting a niche audience here, so I've included an English translation and some explanation below.
Quandocumque placet ludum hunc agitare draconum,
praetori bilis confluit in stomacho.
Namque poeta mihi sapientia verba probavit
expressitque suo carmine: carpe DieM.
Every time I get to play this awesome game of dragons,
our Dungeon Master feels an anger rising strong inside.
The problem seems to be I like to listen to the poets
and Horace taught me well his words of wisdom: carpe DM.
For those who don't know Latin: the phrase 'carpe diem' is traditionally translated in English as 'seize the day,' though it literally means 'pluck the day.' However, when used with a person, the verb 'carpe' can also mean slander.

Andrew Cuomo Uses AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill to Attack Mamdani, Is Out of Ideas#AISlop
Andrew Cuomo Uses AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill to Attack Mamdani, Is Out of Ideas
I am haunted by a pregnant bill in Andrew Cuomo’s new AI-generated attack ad against Zohran Mamdani.Cuomo posted the ad on his X account that riffed on the famous Schoolhouse Rock! song “I’m just a bill.” In Cuomo’s AI-generated cartoon nightmare, Zohran Mamdani lights money on fire while a phone bearing the ChatGPT logo explains, apparently, that Mamdani is not qualified.
The ad bears all the hallmarks of the sloppiest of AI trash: weird artifacting, strange voices that don’t sync with the mouths talking, and inconsistent animation. It feels both surreal and of the moment and completely ancient.
🎶“I’m Just A Shill” (FT. Zohran) pic.twitter.com/ga3JxnYO7B
— Andrew Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) October 30, 2025
And then there’s the pregnant bill.The Schoolhouse Rock! Bill is an iconic cartoon character that has been parodied by everyone from The Simpsons to Saturday Night Live. There are thousands, perhaps millions, of pictures of the cartoon bill online, all available to be gobbled up by scrapers and turned into training data for AI.
For some reason, the bill in Cuomo’s ad has thick red lips (notably absent in the original) and appears to be pregnant. Adding to the discordant AI jank of the image, the pregnancy is only visible when the bill is standing up. Sometimes it’s leaning against the steps and in those shots it has the slim figure characteristic of its inspiration. But when the bill stands it looks positively inflated, almost as if the video generator used to make Cuomo’s ad was trained on MPREG fetish art of the bill and not the original cartoon itself. The thick and luscious red lips are present whether the bill is leaning or standing.
Towards the end of the ad, an anthropomorphic phone with a ChatGPT logo wanders into the scene. Standing next to the pregnant bill, I could not but help but think that the phone is the father of whatever child the bill carried.
My observation led to an argument in the 404 Media Slack channel and opinions were split. “It does not seem pregnant to me,” said Emanuel Maiberg.
Jason Koebler, however, came to my defense. He circled the pregnant belly of the cartoon bill and shared it. “Baby is stored in the circle area,” he said.Perplexed by all this, I reached out to Cuomo’s campaign for an explanation. I wanted a response to the ad and to get his thoughts on AI-generated political content. More importantly, I needed to know their opinion on the pregnancy. “Does that bill look pregnant to you?” I asked. “I think it looks pregnant, but my editors are split. I would love for the Campaign to weigh in.” Out of journalist due diligence, I also reached out to Mamdani’s press office. Neither campaign has responded to my request for it to weigh in on the pregnancy of the AI-generated cartoon bill.
This is not the first time the Cuomo campaign has used AI. An ad in early October featured a deepfaked Cuomo working as a train operator, stock trader, and a stagehand. A week ago, the Cuomo campaign released a long, racist video depicting criminals endorsing Mamdani. Critics called the ad racist. The campaign deleted it shortly after it was posted and blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer.
It is worth noting that Cuomo's AI slop is being deployed most likely because the candidate has been utterly incapable of generating any authentic excitement about his campaign in New York City or on the internet, and he is facing a digitally native, younger candidate who just seems effortlessly Good At the Internet and Posting.
This is, unfortunately, how a lot of politics works in 2025. Desperate campaigns and desperate presidents are in a slop-fueled arms race to make the most ridiculous possible ads and social media content. It looks cheap, is cheap, and is the realm of politicians who are totally out of ideas, but increasingly it feels like slop is the dominant aesthetic of our time.
