Mohamed El-Erian is an economist I have followed for years and I trust. Here’s his take on the #tech bloodbath in today’s #StockMarket. Looks to me a lot like #WallStreet is getting concerned the #AI revolution may not be what it appears to be - at least in the short-term. #Finance #Investing #economy

#StockMarket rocked as investors dump tech shares; Nasdaq suffers worst day since June: Live updates - Looks a lot like #WallStreet has decided the #AI bubble is bursting, right now. So the question now is: Does this signal the beginning of a larger retreat from #Artificialintelligence stocks, or is it rather just a temporary glitch? The answer will determine whether investors flee en-masse, bringing the entire market down, or whether the last year’s unprecedented growth and profiteering will simply ‘get over it’ and continue its bullish bent. #Finance #investing https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/29/stock-market-today-live-updates.html

#Reddit Stock Plummets After AI Forces A Surprise Announcement - The dream of an open internet continues to die following the news that Reddit will begin forcing people to be logged in to an account in order to browse its trove of arcane user insights and discussions. The reason seems clear: Google #AI overviews are robbing the platform blind.
“While extraordinarily useful and powerful, AI search solves a different problem than Reddit,” Reddit cofounder Steve Huffman told investors during the company’s quarterly earnings call this week. “AI does not fulfill people’s fundamental need for community, connection, and belonging with other people, and it lacks context and nuance.”

League 2 Fleetwood eliminates English Premier League champs #Arsenal in a penalty shootout in the #EFLCup today - Biggest upset of the year in English #Football and just another reason cup tournaments are so cool. The unexpected CAN and DID happen, much to the delight of Fleetwood’s home crowd. Cross-league tournaments like this one, plus the promotion-relegation model employed by the #EFL make #Sport much more competitive and enjoyable. Unlike the American model where billionaires and wealthy syndicates own sporting ‘franchises’ that are untethered to cities and/or fans - and in fact can be moved at the owner’s whim. There is no ‘promotion’ in American sport for worthy and accomplished lower league teams, where lower leagues do exist. Teams in England often go back to the late 1800’s, always tied to a specific city, never moving. Their fan-bases are often generational & fans play an outsized role in club governance when compared to US teams. Imma US fan of the #EPL & European #Soccer #futbol

Agreed. How was poor Mbappe to know his post would drop at the beginning of the Fifth Party Plenum, when all good Chinese communists are trying to outdo each other’s chest-pounding nationalism? A Plenum where Xi is predicted to continue his purges - to ‘purify’ the party and remove any personal threats to his rule. I expect China to initiate hostilities, at least a total naval blockade, with Taiwan in the Spring.

OMG‼️Kylian Mbappe has really stepped into a very large pile of💩this time. He’s managed to piss-off the entire Chinese nation - from the government down to the regular folks. It’s kinda a convoluted story, but for those who haven’t heard…there are a lot of Mbappe memes depicting the famous #football star as a dictator. He does score lots of goals. So there are lots of memes. Recently he mentioned his favorite was one depicting him as what he described as a “Chinese dictator”. Innocent enough, no? Well, the depiction in the meme made him out to look a lot like the late Chairman Mao, father of the current Chinese regime, national hero, and spiritual guide to the nation. Way to offend an entire country, dude😬 So yeah, the fallout has been fast & furious. Mbappe plays for Real Madrid in La Liga. The league makes @ $100 million/year from the Chinese market, so they followed up Kylian’s very quick apology with a groveling statement of their own. Drama in the #Sport world. #GeoPolitics #China #futbol #Mbappe

Every once in a while a scientific study comes out of #academia with what is for me, a “Duh” moment…one of those “How could they not have known this” reactions. An in my case, it makes me wonder how the previous model could have dominated the literature for so long. So here we have: A hidden bias in human language challenges 70 years of science - TL;dr turns out human language, the origins and functionality of words, is more based on “safety” and “order” than on emotion. And that is, somehow, a revelation. Who’d a thought? #language #linguistics https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261023023738.htm

4/🧵#GazaGenocide - The attacks on universities across the Gaza Strip are part of a well-documented pattern of scholasticide practised by the Israelis. In an Oct. report titled Scholasticide and Genocide in Gaza, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights revealed that, by July 2026, the Israelis had killed 20,051 students, 830 teachers and educational staff, and more than 194 scholars, academics, and researchers since the start of their genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip.
In November last year, UNRWA said that nearly all of Gaza’s educational infrastructure lay in ruins after two years of the ongoing genocide. “More than 97 percent of #schools have been damaged or destroyed, and 91.8 percent of all #education facilities will require either full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to become functional again,” the UNRWA report said. “Most of the 658,000 school age children have had limited access to face to face learning for over two academic years.” #Palestine #IsraelWarCrimes

3/🧵#GazaGenocide - In the fourth year of their genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis have continued to bomb universities they had already bombed multiple times in previous years. On Sunday afternoon, they bombed the Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) twice. In the first strike, the Israelis struck a gathering of students, injuring five of them, including one critically. The second strike targeted the entrance to the university after it was evacuated; it resulted in the killing of three security personnel: Ashraf Dahlan, Shadi Abu Atta, and Sami Baroud.

2/🧵#GazaGenocide - Over the past three years of their ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israelis have relentlessly targeted Palestinian journalists and media workers as part of what a new report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese describes as “mediacide”…Albanese presented the report titled Truth under the rubble: media in the time of genocide at the UN General Assembly. The report describes how “mediacide” has unfolded in Gaza:
It operates through three mutually reinforcing processes:
(a) the systematic elimination of Palestinian journalists and their means of documentation;
(b) the dissemination and normalization of genocidal incitement and denial by Israeli authorities and segments of the Israeli media; and
(c) the reproduction by influential Western media and digital platforms of narratives that obscure, justify or legitimize atrocity crimes while marginalizing Palestinian voices, evidence and international law.

#Billionaires trying to buy the mid-term #elections - Musk midterm spending tops $442M - add Trump’s PAC spending of $266 million and suddenly…two billionaires, one a capitalist industrialist the other the President of the USA combine for over half a billion dollars spent on #Election2026. I feel confident saying this is NOT what the founding fathers had in mind. #USPol #USPolitics https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6167594-elon-musk-midterm-spending/

Empathy divides Americans by religion, with white evangelicals standing apart (as the least empathetic) - Surprised? I didn’t think so. White, protestant evangelicals thrive on divisiveness and hate it seems. The most un-Christian category they are. #religion #christianity #bigotry #ChristianBigotry https://www.axios.com/2026/10/20/religious-divide-empathy-democrats-republicans

As the Israelis continue to weaponise food in their genocidal war against Palestinians, Gaza is on the brink of another famine. Bakeries in the besieged enclave have sounded the alarm over severe flour shortages, and bread queues have returned. The head of the Bakery Owners Association in the Gaza Strip, Abdul Nasser al-Ajrami, said on Thursday that the Strip’s warehouses were now completely out of flour, warning that the seven remaining bakeries could stop operating within the next 48 hours if new supplies were not brought in. Gaza had 20 functioning bakeries at the start of Israel’s genocidal assault. #Gaza #GazaGenocide #Palestine #IsraelWarCrimes #EthnicCleansing

Just visited the #ActBlue website, which I have used to donate to progressive Dems, to urge them NOT to send donation requests from crazy, “I’m gonna leave the Democratic Party” James Carville, now an irrelevant old fart who has lost what credibility he may have had when associated with the Clintons. He should just STFU and if he thinks his donation requests are welcome, he should think again. I also suggested that solicitations from Chuck Schumer, the senator from Tel Aviv, who continues to claim his job is to funnel US taxpayer dollars to genocidal #Israel, are also not welcome. I know Act Blue does not itself send these texts, rather they make their lists available to Democrats for fund-raising, but still…they demean themselves by allowing idiots like Carville and Schumer to use their resources. Dudes, it’s counterproductive and divisive to host these AHs. #USPol #USPolitics #Democrats

Not sure why this isn’t bigger news, or cause for quite justifiable panic. 70% of the world’s websites are built on #PHP - 7-out-of-10. And yes, there is a patch, but it is not being pushed for obvious reasons. So that means that it is up to website owners and hosts to address this glaring #Security issue ASAP. Why? because the patch is also a roadmap for bad actors to breach websites. So patch NOW, or be subject to attack, it’s that simple. ##Web #Website #WebDev #Internet #OpSec

Wherein I have a bad attitude about #PHP2Shell on international news.

“Rogue AI” is mostly a marketing line. When an AI company says it built something too powerful to control, what it’s actually telling you is that it skipped the security controls.

Your dentist should not have to be a PHP security expert. Companies that kept selling sites built with memory-unsafe apps to small businesses without explaining the risk own this mess.

4/ #GazaGenocide - On the occasion of World Food Day, the Gaza Health Ministry said in a press statement…that “malnutrition and starvation rates in the Gaza Strip have reached catastrophic levels.”
It published figures that offer a glimpse of the effect that Israel’s weaponisation of food is having on Palestinians in Gaza:
466 deaths due to malnutrition and starvation, including 156 children.
More than 1.4 million people (67 percent of the population) are expected to face crisis-level food insecurity or worse through the end of 2026.
158,001 cases of acute malnutrition have been recorded among children under five from 2024 through August 2026, including 28,716 severe cases that pose a life-threatening risk.
The mortality rate among children under five rose from 13.6 to 33.4 deaths per 1,000 live births between 2022 and 2025, while 12.2 percent of children suffer from stunting.
An estimated 74,200 children will require treatment for acute malnutrition by April 2027.

3/ #GazaGenocide - As part of their strategy to weaponise food, the Israelis have completely destroyed “87 percent of agricultural land and greenhouses” in the Gaza Strip. There are few sources of protein, if any: “Meat and dairy production have ceased, and the poultry sector has likewise been devastated.” “Military operations have resulted in the destruction of 8,700 agricultural wells and 9,992 cattle, sheep, and poultry farms, as well as the killing of approximately 69,000 head of livestock,” the report adds.

Having destroyed Gaza’s capacity to produce food for its inhabitants, the Israelis have continued attacking aid convoys and community kitchens to ensure that starvation persists as a weapon of war. On top of this, the Israelis have been regularly killing aid seekers and aid workers. According to Al Mezan, “Approximately 128 aid convoys, 64 distribution centres, and 48 charitable food kitchens have been targeted, resulting in the killing of 2,605 people seeking aid and aid workers.”

2/ The weaponisation of food and water by the Israelis during their ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip has caused immeasurable suffering among survivors of the genocide. Palestinians in the besieged enclave are enduring “severe deterioration in food security and unprecedented levels of poverty,” according to a new report.
The occupation forces “have deliberately destroyed the industrial and commercial sectors by bombing industrial facilities and commercial establishments, while devastating the agricultural sector through the bulldozing of agricultural land and crops, the destruction of poultry farms and livestock holdings, including cattle, the prevention of fishing, and the destruction of aquaculture projects,” Al Mezan Centre for Human Rightssaid in a report on Friday…tight Israeli restrictions on the entry of aid, including food supplies, have meant that the vast majority of the population struggles to obtain adequate nutrition.

One of the defining features of the Israeli genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank has been its barbarism towards children.
The Israelis have placed more than half of the Palestinian children they have abducted in solitary confinement at least once, highlighting the systemic nature of the Israeli torture regime targeting minors.
“Of the 635 minors held in prison, 351 were placed in solitary confinement, usually for seven consecutive days and sometimes for as long as two weeks,” according to Haaretz.
