Issue of Ukraine's territories – the most sensitive topic in negotiations, says Zelenskyy #shorts: https://benborges.xyz/2025/10/18/issue-of-ukraines-territories-the.html
The English in this article is so poor, there are several paragraphs I had to read several times to get any sense out of them. AI or the four(!) reporters named? Interesting topic, but nothing much added in this piece.

This is a good video about Masculinity. I generally agree with it. Galloway get a lot wrong on gender. Though I don't really think he is a grifter. I think he cares about the topic and wants a good out come not too far off what the person in this video wants.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by His Own Hubris
On topic after topic, Trump made clear that he thinks he is the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.
"My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,”
he added.
“I’m not looking to hurt people.”
When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law,
Trump said,

I typically shun this kind of challenges for millions of reasons, but since I take photos almost everyday, I decided to give it a shot. But to make it more interesting for myself, I decided not to use the most frequent categories of photos, i.e. reportage or stock.

State and Parameter Estimation for a Neural Model of Local Field Potentials

Abstract: The study of cortical dynamics during different states such as decision making, sleep and movement, is an important topic in Neuroscience. Modelling efforts aim to relate the neural rhythms present in cortical recordings to the underlying dynamics responsible for their emergence. We present an effort to characterize the neural activity from the cortex of a mouse during natural sleep, captured through local field potential measurements. Our approach relies on using a discretized Wilson--Cowan Amari neural field model for neural activity, along with a data assimilation method that allows the Bayesian joint estimation of the state and parameters. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach on synthetic measurements before applying it to a dataset available in literature. Our findings suggest the potential of our approach to characterize the stimulus received by the cortex from other brain regions, while simultaneously inferring a state that aligns with the observed signal.

Proposition 50,
one of the most expensive ballot measures in state history,

But supporters, led by Gov. Gavin Newsom, successfully used the proposal as a visceral way for Trump opponents to push back against the president during an off-year election about the esoteric topic of congressional redistricting.
