I'm so sad to hear of the death of photojournalist Antoni Lallican, who was killed by a Russian drone attack on a (clearly marked) group of journalists in Ukraine today.

"Even Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist known as a “Godfather of AI” — a technology that likely wouldn’t exist in its current form without his contributions — recently conceded that his girlfriend had broken up with him using ChatGPT."

ChatGPT Is Blowing Up Marriages as Spouses Use AI to Attack Their Partners Across the world, marriages are being destroyed as spouses use AI like OpenAI's ChatGPT to attack their partners.

"To learn what these AI breakups and divorces look like, we talked to more than a dozen people who say that AI chatbots played a key role in the dissolution of their long-term relationships and marriages." futurism.com/chatgpt-marr...

Anyone managed to get an answer from the Air France customer service WhatsApp line? They said I'm in the queue nearly 6 hours ago and nothing has happened since then and no one responds anymore.

New statement from @simonharrisireland.bsky.social on attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla:

"My Fourth Time, We Drowned" by @sallyhayd.bsky.social should be compulsory reading at the Home Office, including at the very top. What has been happening and continues to happen in Libya is horrifying.

Sally Hayden on X: "Assuming this is an Israeli drone, it’s the loudest one I’ve heard since getting back to Beirut on September 1. #lebanon https://t.co/7cpY4lKbWe" / X Assuming this is an Israeli drone, it’s the loudest one I’ve heard since getting back to Beirut on September 1. #lebanon https://t.co/7cpY4lKbWe

For some reason my video won’t upload here but there is a very loud drone above Beirut today. x.com/sallyhayd/st...

Watching Gaza City high rises be levelled this week while thinking of this line that I overheard an Israeli tour guide say in late July:

Syria: Israel Forcibly Displaces Villagers in Occupied South Israeli forces occupying parts of southern Syria since December 2024 have carried out a range of abuses against residents, including forced displacement—a war crime.

Human Rights Watch new release on Israel's actions in Syria, calling them “not legitimate acts of military necessity, but pages out of the playbook used in the occupied Palestinian territory & other parts of the region, stripping residents of basic rights & freedoms.” www.hrw.org/news/2025/09...

"Every time we stay quiet, we help write the story against ourselves."

New statement from Irish foreign minister Simon Harris:
"There is a genocide taking place in Gaza and the findings of the UN Commission of Inquiry earlier this week make clear that this is the case.
The need for action has never been more urgent. In fact, it is long past due."

New joint statement from 16 foreign ministers on the Global Sumud Flotilla: "Any violation of international law and human rights of the participants in the Flotilla, including attacks against the vessels in international waters or illegal detention, will lead to accountability."

A UN commission of inquiry has found that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza & says "the duty to prevent genocide obligates States to take all necessary steps to try to avoid or stop the commission of genocide".

‘This land is wonderful for wine’: Israeli settlers strengthen grip on West Bank From wineries to Airbnbs, settlers are expanding their footprint in the occupied territories as Palestinians face deepening restrictions

A superb piece of factual journalism by the ever reliable @sallyhayd.bsky.social . Doesn't give you hope of a reasonable end to all this madness though...😔
