Hey so how many times does this have to happen before I can say (without sounding like a "conspiracy theorist") that Donald Trump likes Vladimir Putin, will help Putin whenever an easy opportunity presents itself, and would prefer that Putinist Russia win the war in Ukraine

A four frame drawing of an older, grey haired woman in a yellow shirt talking to a younger, brunette woman with glasses in a green shirt. 

The older woman says, "All this Jane Doe, Cornell stuff is totally overblown. It's so silly!" and she continues, "If that's what they call rape now then I guess my friends and I have all been raped, too!" 

There is a moment where neither woman speaks, then the younger woman places her hand on the older woman's shoulder, with a look of compassion.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

I don't think they are worried about the Senate seat but the state constitutional amendments are a lot more up in the air. They told the illuminator that they accidentally moved 67,000 voters to inactive but didn't really explain how they accidentally did that.

I emailed the registrar of voters asking why I was moved to inactive. I am attaching the email exchange to this. I feel like we definitely need an explanation from the secretary of state office for what led to this error. What were they doing trying to do to cause this?
Hello, 

My voter registration was listed as active this morning. When I went to show someone how to check just a few minutes ago, it had changed to inactive and claims my address couldn't be verified.  I filled out things on the website that I think should fix it but the portal doesn't update status immediately.  

I wanted to ask why I was listed as inactive.  I have lived at the same address for over ten years and am a consistent voter.  It is very concerning to me that I was switched to inactive and I want to know how this happened.  I have other friends who also are consistent voters with no address change who have also experienced this. I am deeply concerned about the disenfranchisement this error could cause.  

Thank you. 
Courtney Price Ms. Price,

The Secretary of State's office identified a process that unexpectedly made some voters inactive yesterday.  They are correcting this with a process that will run overnight tonight and return the affected voters to active status.  I see that your status has already been returned to "active" because of the transaction you submitted online last night.

I apologize for this issue, and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Steve Raborn
Registrar of Voters
Is this something they will be making a public statement about? I know several other impacted people and people are deeply concerned about this situation.  



Courtney Price 


I have forwarded your e-mail to the Secretary of State's office as I cannot answer this question on their behalf.  The information provided to us this morning only included content about identifying the issue and that they would make the necessary corrections.

If you live in Louisiana, go check your voter registration. Even if you already checked. This morning mine was fine. Just now I was showing someone how to check and it had changed me to inactive. So they are changing people to inactive as recently as this afternoon.

The Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) statement on OpenAI’s October 6 release of mathematical documents just dropped! www.ahmath.org/statements
AHM Statement on OpenAI’s October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents

Yesterday, on October 6th, 2026, OpenAI – which is currently defending lawsuits against accusations of illegal plagiarism, copyright infringement, and trademark dilution – released a repository of manuscripts purporting to contain solutions to a number of high-profile problems in mathematics.

Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done. The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, from whom OpenAI has claimed to derive its legitimacy, opened their initial advisory statement by saying that frontier AI corporations should not test advanced mathematical problems on internal models. In ignoring the central premise of the Advisory Group’s position, OpenAI has indicated total disregard for the norms of scientific research — norms that guarantee that mathematics remains trustworthy, ethically researched, and in the public interest.

Mathematicians have a particular vision of progress that is informed by history and field-specific considerations. We reject OpenAI's assertion that this release advances our subject, and we urge mathematicians and the public to view the value of this publication model with due skepticism. 

Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.
