And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

"With #Yandex data centers under constant attack, I’m starting to worry that the White House will issue yet another demand to stop the strikes. After all, it would be a tragedy if Russia’s valuable bot traffic dried up just before the midterms." @tatarigami.bsky.social

Trump says Nobel Peace Prize an 'indelible stain' on Norway
US President Donald Trump has once again made complaints that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, calling this year's decision
"disgraceful and embarrassing".
The prize was awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay on Friday. Hours after the announcement, Donald Trump told a rally he had "never heard" of the "mystery person"
"This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway" he said, adding "we will not forget"Cour

That little Russian diesel, if exists at all, will not do much for Trump in the mid term elections but the money going to Russia will help killing sleeping families and children with Russian missiles and drones. Appaling.

Zelenskyy is right. Let's hope Ukraine has a healthy stock of drones and cruise missiles to apply its own sanctions on Russian refining and exports. One benefit of Trump ending almost all aid to UA is that he no longer has much leverage in Kyiv to persuade it not to.

Palantir invited itself to the EPFL (ETH Lausanne) university careers fair... This caused an uproar amongst the students. Now the venue, SwissTech Convention Center, did univite them...
Lausanne, le 29 septembre 2026, 
Palantir, qui figurait parmi les entreprises annoncées pour le Forum EPFL 2026, ne participera 
finalement pas à l'événement.
Le Forum EPFL a pour mission de mettre en relation les étudiants de l'EPFL avec un large éventail 
d'employeurs. La participation de Palantir entrait dans ce cadre, au même titre que celle des 
autres exposants.
La décision de ne pas accueillir l'entreprise a été prise par le SwissTech Convention Center, qui 
accueille le Forum. L'annonce de la présence de Palantir a suscité une forte agitation, qui s'est 
traduite par des dégradations sur le campus ainsi que par des publications et messages haineux 
sur les réseaux sociaux. Dans ce contexte, le STCC a considéré que le risque de troubles 
pendant l'événement était trop élevé pour accepter la présence de l'entreprise dans ses locaux. 
En tant que gestionnaire du lieu, il est pleinement en droit de prendre cette décision. Le Forum 
EPFL en a pris acte et Palantir en a été informée.
Nous souhaitons être transparents sur ce point : le retrait de Palantir ne résulte ni d'un choix du 
comité du Forum, ni d'un jugement sur les activités de l'entreprise. Il découle d'une évaluation 
des risques liés à la sécurité de l'événement.
Le Forum EPFL respecte la liberté de chacun d'exprimer son désaccord, y compris envers les 
entreprises présentes. Nous condamnons en revanche fermement les dégradations et les propos 
haineux, qui ne peuvent en aucun cas être considérés comme une forme légitime de débat.
Le Forum EPFL 2026 aura lieu comme prévu du 5 au 9 octobre au SwissTech Convention Center. 
Nous nous réjouissons de vous y accueillir.
Le comité de direction du Forum EPFL 2026

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (
