Got the Sunday video up early this time!

If you've been seeing news about "oh no there's a spike in farm bankruptcy"- it is NOT as simple as "farms go out of business & then investors buy them all."

hoooooo boy

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down.

Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP.

She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs.

They want people sick, hungry and scared because then it’s harder to fight back.

Stephen Miller was not elected. He was chosen by Trump.

Yet he’s been instrumental in the bombings of Venezuelan boats.

Instrumental in the murder of countless people.

Yesterday he was asked about putting troops on the ground in Venezuela and said:

“These are terrorists and they're gonna be killed."

He’s out of control.

SNAP recipients get an average of $6.31 a day for food. 

Members of Congress get $79 a day.

You know what else they get? Healthcare for life.

Meanwhile their constituents are facing huge insurance increases and being told they must “prove they matter” to receive healthcare. 

Maybe it’s time congress proved they matter! 

Fund SNAP and protect Medicaid! 

A December update of Microsoft Teams will now track and report your location using the local Wi-Fi network. This is a less intrusive way of tracking time spent in the office than asking people to badge in and out.

It’s off by default but IT admins can make its usage required.

Half the ICE budget is for the puppy pads they need when they get chased back into their SUVs by righteous citizens.

Science needs to be ready for the censorship and chilling of scholarly research. That means a global rejection of large intermediaries getting between researchers and the public. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/science-must-decentralize

The UN Cybercrime Treaty is fundamentally flawed and threatens human rights worldwide. UN Member States must not legitimize these dangers by signing when the Convention opens for signatures this weekend. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/joint-statement-un-cybercrime-convention-eff-and-global-partners-urge-governments

We apologize for the long performance degradation today.
Finally, we identified all of the 'tricks' that AI crawlers found today. They no longer bypass the anubis proof of work challenges.

A novelty for us was that AI crawlers seem to not only crawl URLs that are actually presented to them by our frontend, but they converted the URLs into a format that bypassed our filter rules.

By the way, you can track the changes we have been doing via

Publishers need to learn that when they don't work with researchers to do the right thing, scholars find their own solutions—legal or otherwise. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/civil-disobedience-copyright-keeps-science-going
