Old folks on an autumn morning walk. Favorite season.
A shaggy white man leads a shaggy white dog through piles of golden leaves fall from a turning maple. Ahead is an obsessively manicured lawn.

Holy shit ASOS released an adaptive clothing line specifically for people with disabilities?!?!!! Magnets instead of buttons, special pockets and holes to hold wearable medical devices that have tubes, and zippers to make them more comfortable for wheelchair users. www.asos.com/women/fashio...

Communiqué des personnels mobilisés du lycée Paul Eluard de Saint Denis. Hier, battle d'aura avec Greta Thunberg. Aujourd'hui, fouille totale.

Lycée Paul Éluard : fouilles,
gazage des élèves et autres violences policières
Mercredi 14 octobre - Communiqué des personnels mobilisés de l'établissement
Ce matin, les policiers fouillaient les sacs des élèves devant le lycée Paul Éluard. Les policiers ont aussi pu fouiller des poches d'élèves, dont certain-es rapportent qu'on leur a ordonné de montrer le contenu de leur téléphone.
Il s'agit d'une nouvelle étape, intolérable, dans l'incursion de la police au sein du monde scolaire, et d'un rétrécissement des libertés publiques. Nous dénonçons la caution tacite accordée à cette pratique par notre direction. Il y a 15 jours déjà, cette même direction avait autorisé des CRS à circuler à l'intérieur du lycée.
Cette fouille systématique s'est accompagnées de plusieurs violences policières et de scènes d'humiliation : un élève a été pris au cou par un policier et rejeté violemment en arrière, à deux reprises; des lycéen-nes qui entendaient s'attacher pacifiquement à la grille ont été gazé-es sans sommation; d'autres sont trainés par leur sac ou leur cou: un élève filmant la scène est agressé et projeté en arrière. Nous continuons de documenter ces violences policières.
Le gouvernement n'a donc que la violence à opposer aux demandes légitimes de nos élèves et l'institution scolaire se fait complice de cette violence.

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

Distrust in media was expresed by students who drove out BFMTV over its historically police-aligned coverage. Footage circulates on social media, including from LFI lawmakers. Ex. a LFI MEP filmed an undercover officer throwing a projectile -police provocation, a known escalation practice in France.

Two secondary school students have lost an eye and one has now lost a hand in the repression of the student protests by the French police. The French police, the most violent in Western Europe, are now turning that violence on minors, with the support of the government. www.rte.ie/news/2026/10...
