https://unric.org/en/climate-information-integrity-un-sdg-forum-belgium/ UN Excerpt: The United Nations sees two major global challenges converging: the erosion of the information ecosystem and the climate crisis. Tackling them requires a broad coalition, from governments and technology companies to civil society and academia. This was the UN’s message at the “Climate & Information Integrity” session at Belgium’s SDG Forum on 13 October. “AI is speeding up content creation with few guardrails. Tactics against climate action include harassment of scientists and journalists, targeting policymakers, and algorithms that push people into polarised echo chambers,” said Sherri Aldis of the UN Department of Global Communications. With COP31 a…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Chatbots are building intimate “algorithmic self-portraits” of users as they retain information to offer a hyper-personalized experience, researchers warn. A recent study, conducted by a coalition of scientists in Germany, India and the Netherlands and presented at the ACM Web Conference 2026, investigated the ways that OpenAI’s ChatGPT has tracked and made sense of user inputs to develop comprehensive digital profiles of users. In an already-personalized era of digital life defined by data-powered recommendation algorithms, the study urges that chatbot memory offers a…
Death is supposed to be the end of the road. The lights are out, the curtain has fallen. No breathing, no heartbeat—end of discussion, right? Not quite. In some cases, corpses twitch, flex, shift, change positions, or even make noises that could easily be mistaken for messages from beyond the grave. But before you call the Ghostbusters, take a deep breath. The explanation is less zombie apocalypse and more basic biology. Even after the heart stops beating, the body still has a few tricks left up its sleeve. The results can be creepy, sure, but experts say they’re perfectly natural.…

British Columbia Premier David Eby is one of the leading Canadian antagonists who quickly aligned with Mark Carney in an effort to gain power. The province was essentially split 50/50, and so David Eby developed a quick plan. Riding the “Elbow’s Up” wave promoted by most Canadian leadership, Eby announced a strategic snap election in September. His plan was to ride the anti-Trump wave and gain power. However, between the announcement in September and the election last night something shifted. Canadian munchkins began noticing the fraud behind Wizard Carney’s loud but shallow policy. Week by week as the Canadian economy…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Microsoft’s new AI is surpassing the abilities of human doctors — according to its own study, at least. The research, which was peer-reviewed and published in the prestigious journal Science, showed that the medical model, dubbed the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO), was over twice as accurate than generalist physicians at diagnosing patients. And unlike previous studies, this one forced the AI to approach each case like an actual doctor would, instead of being armed with all the facts right away. The tests…
For decades, some Americans have claimed they are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cellphones, cell towers, power lines, or electrical devices. Industry and many Americans have dismissively labeled these as “tinfoil hat” conspiracies backed by zero evidence. But it’s not that simple. Much like vaccine injuries, illegal voting, and food additives, the industry at large has spent decades not looking for any evidence. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. recently announced that this is all about to change.Regulatory Integrity Under RFK Jr.? On September 17, HHS launched an effort to seek public input on electromagnetic fields…

A rapper from Atlanta who is well-known for disgusting behavior like peeing naked from balconies was recently taken into police custody and is facing a slew of fraud-related charges as part of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on fraud, particularly the administration’s mission to recover almost $42 million in food stamps that were meant to go to needy families.

Vanessa Trump announced that she is finally cancer-free after a breast cancer battle that began with an April diagnosis. The mother of five shared the news in a video alongside her daughter, Kai Trump, who responded with an affectionate message to her mom. Her announcement followed surgery and months of treatment.

Former New York State Assembly member Ari Espinal was taken into police custody earlier this month on felony charges that accuse her of stealing over $30,000 from a labor union, according to court documents and a source with knowledge concerning the pending case.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) sat down for an interview with Politico where he seemed to gleefully celebrate the potential defeat of MAGA in the midterm elections that are coming up around the corner. Tillis, who is ending his time in public service, is going out with a bang by putting out a book that was specifically timed for pre-midterms publication and goes ballistic against President Donald Trump’s appointees and warns that the GOP is currently on the path to electoral ruin. The book, “How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents,” is being referred to as a profane, though candid and…
The Supreme Court handed Republicans a victory in New Hampshire’s election rules fight, allowing the state to exclude student IDs as voters prepare to decide a closely watched Senate race. The justices granted the state’s emergency request on October 22nd. Their decision pauses lower court orders that had limited enforcement of the state’s identification guidance. The Republican National Committee backed the state’s appeal. The ruling arrives as former Republican Senator John E. Sununu faces Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. That contest could help determine control of the Senate. Earlier polling…
Back in the heartland, folks seem to be reaching the same conclusion about this week’s political noise: There’s plenty of it, and not much of it has anything to do with fixing the problems in front of us. From campaign theater to outrage over logos, the volume keeps rising while common sense is left waiting in the wings. And from Iran practicing performance art depicting Trump behind bars to the Atlanta Falcons’ logo sending social media into a full-blown meltdown, the week’s cultural highlights are proving that symbolism remains undefeated.The New Bird Gets the Bird The Atlanta Falcons dusted off…

Corey is a recovering bartender, and a freelance editor. He specializes in memoirs and novels but has a smorgasbord of experience in non-fiction works.

Nearly 1,000 people were arrested Saturday as massive demonstrations erupted into violence across France, presenting another challenge to President Emmanuel Macron during his final months in office. France’s Interior Ministry reported approximately 410,000 demonstrators nationwide, including 110,000 in Paris. The CGT labor union disputed those figures, estimating nearly 800,000 protesters across the country.

U.S. intelligence officials are warning that Iran has intensified efforts to assassinate Americans overseas, prompting the Trump administration to reduce diplomatic staffing across the Middle East amid escalating threats from Tehran and its terrorist proxies. Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton issued an unclassified memo Friday to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, warning that Iranian assassination plots targeting U.S. citizens have reached dangerous levels. “Lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages,” Clayton wrote.

On Wednesday evening, it got heated in the second and final debate between Michigan Senate candidates, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers, over the issue of the Muslim Brotherhood, which many in the liberal media have wrongly claimed El-Sayed has condemned. That exchange was highlighted Wednesday night on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, where the host falsely claimed El-Sayed has previously denounced the Muslim Brotherhood, and the term Islamophobia made an appearance. Before Collins played a clip from the debate, her lead-in included an inaccurate defense of El-Sayed. COLLINS: Days after we saw Abdul El-Sayed denounce the Muslim…
Iran’s army said on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, that its air defenses destroyed a U.S. LUCAS drone over Bandar Abbas near the Strait of Hormuz, according to Tasnim. The claim has not been independently verified, and the U.S. military has not confirmed it.

There’s also a possibility we’ll have a nice, big, beautiful agreement,” he said of possible strikes. He also said the U.S. “may do another little Epic Fury, or they’ll…
Sandpoint, Idaho, is one of those beautiful American towns that seems perpetually in danger of being discovered by the usual unwelcome flock of people from California. Situated on Lake Pend Oreille and surrounded by mountains, it has a charming downtown, a remarkable natural setting, and the sort of small-town atmosphere that makes people want to abandon whatever overpriced metropolitan disaster they presently inhabit—and that they helped create. Unfortunately, once enough of these people arrive, they tend to demand the same amenities, conveniences, and developments that made the places they left so expensive and unpleasant in the first place. I met…
Where is William of Occam when you need him? The celebrated author of “Occam’s Razor”—Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem—would be a useful chap to have around when trying to understand The Case of Ilhan. The hijab-clad, Trump-and-America-hating, Somali-born woman who has been representing Minnesota’s 5th congressional district since January 3, 2019, is everywhere in the news. The proximate cause of this new interest was the October 12 pre-dawn search of Ilhan’s Washington, D.C., home by Homeland Security Investigations. The search took about five hours and yielded a number of potentially interesting items, including cell phones, personal computers, notebooks, and her…
In Torrance, California, a large and influential suburb of Los Angeles, the No Kings protests have appeared with frequent vengeance. From June 14, 2025, to the current election season, registered Democrats, wokesters, progressive leftists, democratic socialists, full-blown socialists, and racialist ethno-nationalists have shown up in large numbers to tell the world how much they hate Trump. They love setting up along the main thoroughfare of the city, standing in front of Torrance City Hall, holding up their banners, calling the president all kinds of evil. Speakers from the main liberal, left-wing, progressive Berniecrat (you get the idea) clubs throughout the…

Every election season, two very different tools are competing to tell Americans who will win: opinion polls and prediction markets. Each has a long track record, and each has stumbled. “We don’t set the odds; the people do,” David Piegaro of Kalshi, one of the largest U.S. prediction markets, told Just the News. “Our markets are super dynamic as new information comes out, whether that be a poll, whether that be an event in the real world.” Each has a long track record, and each has stumbled. How each tool works and how accurate they are Polls ask a sample of…

While the world was still raging that President Donald Trump would turn to Russia’s Vladimir Putin to try to score relief for Americans suffering from inflated diesel prices, the president’s diplomatic team led by special envoy Steve Witkoff was wheeling and dealing behind the scenes in stealth mode.Volodymyr Zelensky, who exploded at the Trump-Putin diesel deal, was bluntly told by U.S. officials there was no value in poking the eye of the one ally whose financial and intelligence assistance was at the heart of Ukraine’s ability to stand toe-to-toe with the much larger, nuclear-armed enemy. He also was told, despite…
(The Center Square) – California’s taxpayers paid at least $500 million this year to build wildlife crossings over highways and freeways, potentially offsetting $1.64 billion in economic costs caused by large wildlife vehicle collisions.That’s according to numbers from the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy, the Mojave Desert Land Trust and the Road Ecology Center at University of California, Davis.

(The Center Square) – Candidates in Iowa’s second congressional district are divided on tariffs, healthcare and gas prices as the race for control of Congress comes to the heartland.Iowa Rep. Lindsay James, D-Dubuque, and Republican former Iowa state Rep. Joe Mitchell are battling to win Iowa’s second congressional district. With U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, running for U.S. Senate, the race has narrowed between both candidates. The Cook Political Report, a national polling aggregate, ranks Iowa’s second congressional district as a “toss up,” which means either party has a good chance of winning control in the district. While rising gas…
