🚨 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." One person is reportedly dead, with several others injured. Police are investigating, and the circumstances still need to be established. Writer: Oliver t.co/pnD8tx8Obn

🇺🇸 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

🇫🇷 Paris is turning into a BATTLEGROUND over France's crumbling schools. Protesters were filmed firing FIREWORKS directly toward police officers as thick clouds of smoke swallowed the streets.

🇷🇺🇧🇷🇺🇦 Brazilian fighters serving in Ukraine had a VERY close call after a Russian strike hit the building where they were staying in Kharkiv. The group, including a fmr Brazilian paratrooper named Lucas, survived UNINJURED and later shared footage showing the aftermath: shattered windows, debris everywhere, and rooms left in a complete mess. Russian accounts quickly seized on the videos, claiming the strike had hit a hotel housing foreign mercenaries. Meanwhile, Russian attacks across Kharkiv reportedly killed at least THREE people and injured dozens of civilians. Writer: Sol t.co/3gSSs8Rkzp

🇺🇸 Katie Zacharia's first day as White House press secretary and CNN is already discussing how long she'll last.

🇺🇸 JD Vance is now speculating about James Talarico's internet search history. “You don't want to find out. Neither do I.” That's a remarkable amount of curiosity from a man insisting he doesn't want to know. Writer: Oliver t.co/Ld4UXTrFm4

🇾🇪🇺🇸🇸🇦 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.

🇫🇷 Footage coming out of FRANCE is getting PRETTY UGLY POLICE officers are seen carrying an INJURED colleague away as fireworks are fired at them during protests that began over conditions in schools. But this was never just about education. Anger over public spending, the cost of living and France's political direction is bringing much wider frustrations to the surface. And what is Macron doing in all this?! When students start protesting the state of their schools and the streets end up looking like this, there's clearly a much deeper breakdown goin on. The violence is unacceptable. But so is pretending the anger behind these demonstrations appeared out of nowhere. Writer: Oliver t.co/5pJpYM3J5l

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is celebrating the U.S. NAVY'S 251st BIRTHDAY by praising its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which he now calls the “impenetrable Steel Wall.” The Navy may be doing exactly what Trump ordered. That doesn't mean the strategy is working. A successful blockade isn't measured by how many ships you can stop, but by what you achieve politically. And I'm still wondering what the endgame is supposed to be. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 The scariest AI future might be the one where everything works as intended. I've been thinking a lot about what happens when Artificial Intelligence becomes smarter than the people building it. So I spoke with Garrison Lovely, author of Obsolete, who has been following some deeply concerning developments inside the AI industry. Garrison says the immediate danger is already emerging in cybersecurity, where increasingly capable models could allow individuals to launch attacks that once required entire teams of specialists. But something else from our conversation stuck with me. We tend to imagine the worst AI scenario as machines breaking free, refusing human instructions and eventually taking control. Garrison worries about that too. Yet he sees another path to dystopia that doesn't require AI to rebel at all. What happens if these systems work perfectly, replacing human labor while concentrating enormous wealth and power in the hands of whoever owns them? Governments could gain unprecedented surveillance capabilities. Autonomous weapons could enforce decisions without soldiers having to obey orders. Ordinary people could lose much of the economic leverage that has historically given them political influence. And if the machines don't remain under human control, the consequences could be even more profound. Garrison believes both futures are serious risks, not inevitable outcomes. I came away wondering whether we're spending too much time asking if AI will obey us, and not nearly enough asking who it will be obeying. @GarrisonLovely

🇺🇸 JD Vance tells a male supporter he loves him, then immediately clarifies: “In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico.” From “I love you” to a Texas campaign attack ad in just a couple of seconds. Impressive. Writer: Oliver t.co/MnowDHcIXZ

🇺🇸🇷🇺 An American who used to make weapons for the U.S. has reportedly joined the Russian military. In an interview, the man, identified as Kelvin, says he was furious that weapons from his former workplace were being sent to Ukraine. He also says the U.S. reaction to the Epstein scandal was the final straw. He's reportedly already signed a military contract and started training. Going from making American weapons to signing up to fight for Russia is one hell of a career change. Writer: Lynn t.co/FJSqAxoaZi

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel is warning that Iran could try to interfere in its upcoming elections through TERRORIST ATTACKS. Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israeli authorities are detecting attempts by Iran and its proxies to carry out attacks aimed at influencing the vote on October 27: “Anyone who attacks us, before or after the elections, will have their hand CUT OFF and will pay the heaviest price.” Israel is heading into one of its most contentious elections in years, with Netanyahu's political future hanging in the balance.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 THE HOUTHIS are turning YEMEN'S TAIZ into a DEATH TRAP Roads cut. Food running out. Shells falling on residential areas. A bottle of water can now cost $4. Wheat prices have surged 40%. Families are fleeing by the tens of thousands. The Houthis aren't simply attacking another city. They're tightening their grip on a major strategic crossroads, threatening to trap hundreds of thousands of civilians while cutting off the supplies keeping them alive. You don't need to destroy a city to make it uninhabitable. Sometimes all you have to do is close the roads. Source: Reuters, Al Jazeera / Writer: Oliver t.co/PJnkpTp4wu
