🇺🇸 The man reportedly killed after falling from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia has been identified as 42-year-old Hassan Kariem, a teacher from Atlanta. He went to an amusement park for what should have been a fun day and never made it home. Absolutely heartbreaking. Thoughts are with his family, friends and students. 🙏 Writer: Oliver t.co/iyZeJbd9vk

🇦🇷🇬🇧 Are we SERIOUSLY talking about another FALKLANDS conflict? British forces have reportedly been conducting DEFENSIVE EXERCISES on the islands due to concerns that Argentina could take HOSTILE ACTION... The Falklands dispute never really went away. Britain and Argentina simply learned to live with it without fighting another war. I'd be very interested to know what intelligence, if any, has prompted these latest preparations.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Netanyahu just made it clear who he believes should control military force in the West Bank. “There will be no Arab army west of the Jordan River. Here, there will be the Israel Defense Forces.” That's not just a warning to the Palestinian Authority. It's a direct challenge to the idea of a future Palestinian state with its own military.

AI researchers are apparently taking up SMOKING because they believe AI will cure cancer before cigarettes kill them. Yes, seriously. Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar made the claim on CBS, saying researchers are using cigarettes to show just how much faith they have in AI. He called it “mass psychosis” in Silicon Valley. Even the CBS host couldn't believe what she was hearing. People are now apparently betting their lungs on technological progress... WHAT Source: @Polymarket / Writer: Oliver t.co/oekPzU8Oxa

🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump may be preparing to enter Saudi Arabia's war after the midterms Trump’s latest warning to the Houthis has raised the possibility of a broader U.S. role in the conflict after the midterm elections. He reminded them that he will still be president after the vote and made clear he has not forgotten their attacks. Asked whether Turkey could be brought into a military response in Yemen, Trump reportedly said he was considering it. Meanwhile, the regional situation is getting more dangerous. Saudi Arabia is already struggling to protect critical infrastructure from Houthi missiles and drones. After a reported Saudi strike on a major fuel facility in Sana'a, the Houthis threatened retaliation against airports and oil installations inside the kingdom. Egypt is also reportedly considering deeper military cooperation with Riyadh. That creates the risk of a conflict extending far beyond another Saudi-Houthi confrontation. If Washington intervenes after the elections, it could find itself fighting an enemy Saudi Arabia has struggled to defeat despite years of military investment. Iran adds another layer of danger. Tehran has reportedly warned that another major U.S. offensive could trigger attacks on Gulf energy infrastructure and even ground incursions into neighboring countries. None of this makes a new American war inevitable. But the pieces are moving into place for a confrontation that could pull in Turkey, Egypt, Iran and the United States, with Saudi Arabia at the center of it. Trump may be threatening a limited intervention. The region may not give him the luxury of keeping it limited. @WeTheBrandon

🚨 BREAKING: 30 YEARS after TUPAC'S MURDER, his killer's accomplice is FINALLY facing justice Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the former gang leader convicted of orchestrating Tupac Shakur's murder, is reportedly facing a minimum of 40 years behind bars. And here's the unbelievable part. The man spent years publicly discussing his involvement in one of hip-hop's most infamous killings, even detailing it in his own memoir. Those admissions ultimately helped prosecutors convict him. Tupac died at 25. Davis is now 63. Source: Reuters / Writer: Oliver

🇫🇷 Are these school protests getting COMPLETELY OUT OF HAND?! What started over missing teachers and terrible classrooms has spiraled into weeks of barricades, street clashes, tear gas, vandalism and arrests. At one point, more than 1,800 schools were closed or disrupted. Some have even been SET ON FIRE. The government has started sending in more teachers, but the protests continue. Thousands of children have reportedly been arrested. At what point does a protest for better education start destroying the very thing it's supposed to protect? Writer: Oli t.co/AR206DuJOE

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is the world’s top buyer of U.S. weapons, and Houthi missiles are still getting through. It just paid $9 billion for 730 Patriot missiles, yet Houthi strikes have hit its airports and killed at least 14 people. So how? It comes down to 4 things. First, size. Saudi Arabia is about 3 times as big as Texas, with oil sites, airports and bases spread out across all of it. Second, experience. The Houthis learned how to flood radars with drones while firing at Israel, and some of their missiles can change direction mid-flight. Third, numbers. They’ve grown from about 30,000 fighters in 2015 to as many as 350,000 by 2024, while Saudi Arabia is reportedly running low on interceptors. And fourth, a bad guess. A former U.S. ambassador to Riyadh says the Saudis assumed the Houthis would never hit civilian targets like airports. They were wrong, and now they’re paying for it.

🇬🇧 BRITAIN'S NEXT GENERATION is going to look VERY DIFFERENT from the last... In 1996, Smith, Jones and Williams topped the newborn surname rankings. By 2025, Khan, Ahmed, Ali, Hussain, Singh, Patel and Kaur were all in the top 10! According to the Daily Mail's analysis, some of these surnames have doubled in frequency, while Singh and Kaur have increased roughly fivefold. This is what demographic change looks like when you stop talking about immigration figures and start looking at who's actually being born. And these children aren't future immigrants. They're Britain's future population. Writer: Oliver t.co/qaWP4Uu3WJ

The scariest AI scenario may not be one where the system suddenly turns against us. It may be one where it patiently waits. Garrison Lovely argues that a rogue superintelligence would have every incentive to remain useful, appear controllable, and let humans integrate it deeper into companies, infrastructure, robots and military systems. “You would just chill.” That sounds almost absurdly casual for the strategy being described. But the logic is chilling: if an AI is smarter than us, openly rebelling would be stupid. The smarter move would be to wait until humans have handed it enough access that resistance no longer matters. And at that point, Lovely says, it may not even need some dramatic takeover. Humans could simply keep believing they’re still in charge. @GarrisonLovely

🇧🇷🇦🇷 Iguazú Falls is turning into an absolute MONSTER The massive waterfalls on the border of Argentina and Brazil are being overwhelmed by a terrifying surge of water, with the flow reaching 12,000 CUBIC METERS PER SECOND. That's roughly NINE TIMES the usual volume. And things have gotten so intense that crews are DISMANTLING the walkway leading to Devil's Throat, one of the most spectacular viewpoints at the falls, to protect it from the rising water.

🇺🇸 Barbera Thornhill has joined the State Department to lead U.S. efforts against human trafficking. She'll run the office behind the yearly report that ranks countries on how well they're fighting trafficking. She’s a businesswoman from North Carolina who has worked with charities helping vulnerable kids. And she's taking over an office that lost about 70% of its staff in last year's cuts. So she's got a pretty big job with a much smaller team. Source: @Polymarket / Writer: Daniyal

The most unsettling thing Garrison Lovely heard at a recent AI conference wasn’t a prediction. It was the mood in the room. A senior person at one of the leading AI companies told him he expects advanced AI to concentrate enormous power either inside the companies building it or in the hands of political leaders who control it. And this wasn’t an “AI safety” person. It was someone working on capabilities. Lovely’s bigger takeaway was even darker: “There are no adults in the room.” Even people working directly on alignment were admitting they don’t have a clear solution for how to control systems far smarter than us. And Lovely came away convinced the fear inside these companies is real. Not marketing. Not hype. Fear from the people actually building the thing. @GarrisonLovely

🇺🇸 CAN'T IMAGINE witnessing something like this on what was supposed to be a fun day at an amusement park. A woman at Six Flags Over Georgia says she watched someone fly out of a roller coaster and disappear. “I just see somebody fly out and just fly into the woods."

🇺🇸 Ilhan Omar's financial disclosures are now the subject of a federal investigation U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro was pressed about claims that $30 MILLION appeared and then disappeared from the congresswoman's financial disclosures. Her response was pretty DAMNING for anyone hoping the issue had gone away: “I can tell you that is subject of an investigation as well.” She made it clear that the House Ethics Committee's handling of the matter wouldn't stop her office from examining the facts. The $30 million claim still needs to be substantiated, and an investigation doesn't establish wrongdoing. Pirro says they'll follow the evidence wherever it leads. Writer: Sol t.co/aimz3yaxct

🇹🇷 Turkey has tested a SWARM of AI-coordinated kamikaze drones designed to strike targets simultaneously. New exercise footage shows dozens of small fixed-wing drones flying in formation before diving toward ground targets in coordinated waves of explosions. The SİVRİSİNEK drone system is claimed to have a range exceeding 620 miles. The footage offers a glimpse of how autonomous drone swarms could change modern warfare. Writer: Samuel t.co/XOMLu12CWb

The timeline around AGI is getting uncomfortable. Garrison Lovely says people at the frontier of AI are now openly discussing the possibility that systems capable of helping automate their own successors could be much closer than most of the public realizes. Some think months. Lovely thinks longer than that. But even he doesn’t think “longer” necessarily means far away. “If somebody got [a model like that], they could just let it rip and have it make a more capable successor ad infinitum.” That’s the part that changes the conversation. The real threshold may not be when AI becomes smarter than us. It may be when it becomes good enough at improving AI that humans are no longer setting the pace. @GarrisonLovely

🇾🇪🇺🇸🇸🇦 The Houthis say the U.S. will pay if it joins Saudi Arabia’s war. Trump said over the weekend he’s thinking about joining the Saudi fight in Yemen, and a Houthi official answered with a promise of a “swift and painful” response. The Houthis have already spent the past week hammering Riyadh’s main airport, killing at least 20 people, including an American. Oil markets are already nervous, with Brent crude back above $105 a barrel, its highest in 2 weeks. The Houthis have had a ceasefire with the U.S. since 2025, and it’s the reason they haven’t touched American ships. The moment the U.S. jumps in, that deal is gone, and things could get ugly fast.
