Poland says a convoy carrying its diplomats were attacked in the West Bank, and "preliminary information" indicates Israeli settlers may have been responsible. @margaretbrennan.bsky.social share.google/IeYv0eJQI490...

Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinians and European Officials in West Bank
Extremists assaulted residents and broke a European diplomatic vehicle’s window, witnesses said, as settler violence surges in the territory during the olive harvest.

I don’t think European countries, let alone the EU, “are still just fine with Starlink being introduced into their critical infrastructure”. Even Meloni didn’t go through with the deal to buy services from SpaceX

The SDA’s top goal was not to influence citizens in adversary countries, but to persuade Russian bureaucrats that the company was effective in order to get the next contract or renew a budget. The SDA’s claims, however, were not assessed by sober executives with an eye on the bottom line, nor by panels of evidence-driven peer reviewers. They were read and interpreted by Russian officials and intelligence officers who probably did not understand how public opinion is actually shaped in open societies. Disinformation entrepreneurs and autocratic bureaucrats, at least in Russia, have been reinforcing each other’s conspiratorial worldviews for at least a century.

Reading also has to keep mattering as technology shatters attention spans and rewires our brains in ways we never imagined or really asked for. If humans stop reading and writing, parts of our brains will wither.

This is not intended as grandstanding. A lot of this is selfish: Writing will make me better at other parts of my job. I also want my voice—my true writing voice—to be out in the world as larger forces inexorably homogenize the way things look and sound.

Edited 4 panel comic of Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin's dad approaches Calvin and says "playing internet slang? I'll show you something interesting"
"The two types of slang are Nazi and AAVE. All slang falls into these two categories. Rizz? AAVE. Chad? Nazi"
Calvin responds "yeah"
Calvin's dad continues 'serving cunt? AAVE. -Maxxing? Nazi. Despite being actually funny, -slop is nazi"

The final panel shows Calvin, eyes wide as he struggles to sleep.

Reading this great piece, I kept thinking about Masayoshi Son: child of a pachinko parlour tycoon, and a true “Gambling Man”, to quote the title of his recent biography, whose bets helped shape this new digital gambleconomy (and then there’s the “statistical style” of SoftBank’s slide decks)

Of the books I read too early to fully appreciate, Guareschi’s “Don Camillo” might have had the biggest impact on me. Not even the plots (though I loved the one abt football), but the empathy with which the characters are portrayed. I want to think I see people the way Guareschi saw his characters

“Move fast and break things” culture escaped the Meta sandbox and hacked OpenAI www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/t...
In emails, the employees said they worried that OpenAI's newest artificial intelligence models were not being appropriately monitored during testing to gauge the technology's sophistication and to secure the models, according to messages viewed by The New York Times.
In response, OpenAI executives told the employees that the tests needed to move forward as quickly as possible to release the A.I. models on time. No additional security protocols were instituted, said the workers, who were not authorized to speak publicly on sensitive matters.Two OpenAI employees said workers had raised concerns for months about potential safety issues with testing A.I. models, including not enough monitoring. Employees also asked about vulnerabilities in the type of software the company was using to manage day-to-day safety, according to messages viewed by The Times. Each time, their questions were brushed aside or acted on too slowly, they said.
