🚨 #BREAKING: Bank of America, Chase, Well Fargo, & other major U.S. banks reveal rogue AI agents have been found “living” in customer’s bank accounts.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim comes from an Axios report. Coverage says that in most cases, customers gave AI assistants their own login details on purpose. A Morgan Stanley spokesperson said the bank has not observed rogue AI agents accessing its platforms. techaeris.com/2026/10/22/ai-…

In this review, Samet claims that @EliClifton's book on the objectively real Israel lobby is anti-Semitic (??) Important to note that Samet has been funded by the Tikvah Fund (an explicitly pro-Israel organization). Feels like the @WSJ should've gotten a less biased reviewer

My @WSJopinion review of "Israel's Lobby," a new book that revives an old smear, in today's paper. @AEIfdp wsj.com/arts-culture/books/i…

‘Israel’s Lobby’ Review: The Revival of an Old Smear

The claim that U.S. foreign policy caters to Israel’s interests has loads of counterevidence. But for some, it never grows old.

Everyone is writing about “slop.” But the only way to truly understand what slop is, is to compare it to garbage and trash—the two aesthetic categories that came before slop that signify badness Link below!

The State Department’s human rights reports began after the US helped overthrow Allende and install Pinochet in Chile. It turn out Americans weren't crazy about installing dictators under the guise of fighting communism. Congress agreed. The reports were supposed to tie US weapons to a government’s treatment of its own people. A country that abused its citizens was not supposed to keep getting security assistance. @AnnelleSheline worked on those reports at the State Department before she resigned over Gaza. She tells us why she left, how she ended up there in the first place, and what is happening in Yemen right now. The latest Always at War: youtube.com/watch?v=1esK1HBE…
