I’ve hesitated directly sharing this — outside of a couple RTs — because that’s how I’ve handled it when I’ve been on lists in the past. But I just remembered that kids in elementary school would make fun of me for having a Time Magazine in my backpack time.com/5626827/the-25-most…

Wikipedia, which went online in January, 2001, is now the greatest compendium of human knowledge ever assembled. Yet in the last four years, it has lost 25 per cent of its traffic—more than a billion monthly visitors. Since the site recruits its editors from its audience, this dip also threatens its growth and quality. Many users have been intercepted by A.I. “It’s a cruelly ironic fate,” Julian Lucas writes. Wikipedia was the single most important training corpus in the history of artificial intelligence. Now artificial intelligence is threatening its survival.

Not great!
NEW: Who is an example of a police chief that Nithya Raman really respects or admires? "I don't know...I don't know." Raman is now apologizing for her recent debate remarks that LAPD Chief Daryl Gates was a "gold standard" for his handling of immigration. Critics accuse Gates of racist policies. "It was a mistake to reference his name at all. I was trying to make a point and I fumbled that point. That point was not to praise Daryl Gates in any shape or form. I sincerely apologize for mentioning his name. I know it causes real pain for so many people across Los Angeles and I shouldn't have said it." Raman has said she wants to dismiss current LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell but has not floated any names of potential replacements. We'll have a lot more with Raman coming soon on @CNNTheStoryIs

I'm intimately aware of the allegations coming out tomorrow. Very much an October surprise that will shake up a Senate race in a way that no one is expecting.
The progressive news outlet “Young Turks” is set to publish a story about a gay, closeted US Senator on Thursday.

In a new essay, Bakari Sellers urges House Democrats to block the Protect College Sports Act. Bakari argues it would cap college athletes' earnings while handing President Trump a win "paid for with Black athletes' economic freedom." Full Piece: bit.ly/4zFPSAV

This clip of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is getting a lot of attention tonight, but many of the people sharing it are misstating what she was asked. When she said, "Not to my knowledge," she was not answering whether she had married her brother. Chris Hayes had already asked about the brother claim, and she called it “insane” and a right-wing conspiracy theory initially started by a Somali blog. "Not to my knowledge" was her answer to his follow-up, whether she was related to the man in any way. People are welcome to criticize her for that — but they should at least get the question she was asked right.

“Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Prévot advised against treating Pahlavi as the sole representative of the Iranian opposition. In his letter he wrote that ‘it would be advisable to hear other voices within the Iranian opposition as well. A balanced approach could prevent an invitation from being interpreted as political support for one particular movement or person.’” eualive.net/belgian-parliame…

BREAKING: New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez has filed a federal lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke, his accountant Richard Kahn, and the Epstein estate.

Bush, has posted a political message on Facebook for the first time, saying he voted for James Talarico for US Senate over Ken Paxton.

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?

NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells @kilmeade he would accept a peace deal that freezes the war along the current frontlines, calling it a realistic way to stop the fighting. He says Ukraine would then seek security guarantees from President Trump and European allies to ensure peace and security. "We call it ceasefire or stop killing like President Trump called it. Freeze and stop. And of course this is minimum what we need from Russia today." | @foxandfriends
