Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet
Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Just to let you know, and not that it matters, I saw that she was in "Influential Women Magazine", and it said she was General Counsel. In Edible Manhattan - Katie Zacharia, it said she was a 41-yr. old attorney and General Counsel. I didn't make it up.

"When Trump plucked Katie Zacharia from obscurity & appointed her as his new press sec, he called her 'an attorney.' This is also how Zacharia describes herself. But Popular Information searched for evidence in all 50 states, plus DC, that she was admitted to practice law anywhere — & found none."

Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, claims she’s a lawyer. Is she?
There is no evidence Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law — and the White House did not provide any

Great @cprnews.bsky.social piece examining where GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx is spending his huge fundraising haul. Makes a lot of sense if you subscribe to the idea that Marx is paying out friends/family and building an email list, rather than trying to win. www.cpr.org/2026/10/08/v...
cpr.org
Victor Marx’s spending is as unusual as the rest of his campaign
The Republican candidate for Colorado governor has focused his cash on raising more cash, while minimizing traditional spending.

Elon is dumping mountains of money into the midterms to help Republicans. Spoiler: it isn’t to make life better for regular people — It’s to enrich himself, spread data centers, get government contracts, etc… he does not care about you. www.instagram.com/p/DeaJjWxl0H...

If they are, it’s at a very low level, but I don’t believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, & we would know about it, & know about it very fast!”
