"To ask nothing, to expect nothing, and to depend on nothing" - Freedom

We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: https://t.co/gt9s5lbPE4

🚨 BREAKING:

Giancarlo Esposito:

"It's time for revolution. They can't kill us all."

[City of Tempe, AZ @Tempegov]

Tempe has turned off its Flock automated license plate reader system and will end its contract with the company. The cameras are no longer collecting license plate data, and Tempe will not seek another company to replace the system.

While the cameras have helped Tempe Police solve crimes, recent misuse of automated license plate reader systems in Arizona and nationwide has raised concerns about the risks that come with the technology.

Tempe Police has found no misuse of its own Flock system.

Flock will remove its cameras, and previously collected data will be automatically deleted after 30 days unless it is connected to an ongoing case or investigation.

Read through the slides to learn more about the decision and what it means for Tempe.

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

White people proudly let their kids show off firearms all the time in their family photos and nobody bats an eye.

Stay armed, Black folks. 💪🏾

Woke just means Black. Thanks for confirming.

"You have shown us that you are not on OUR side." —Viola Davis rejects Target's apology over racist Halloween costume

“Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above.

These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people.

We MATTER!!

You have shown us that you are not on OUR side.”

[Big Nasty ☭ @keepaustinnasty]

Good morning. I think we should get organized to do the revolution thing. We are running out of time.

There's a scene in Don't Look Up where DiCaprio & Lawrence tells everyone an asteroid is headed for Earth and it barely trends in the news.

Anyways, the oceans are now hotter than they have been in 120,000 years.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst president the United States has ever had.

[ASHA @asha_shar]

Unmistakably XBOX

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Oooooooo, this is the harsh reality! Continue to boycott @Target

🚨 BREAKING:

The city of San Diego just passed a resolution defining any criticism of "Netanyahu, Israel, and Zionism" as antisemitic.

This is proof that America is controlled by Jews.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, the most damning Epstein files completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

I didn’t fumble the bag the first time. He took the role because it was a limited appearance. He was always going to die in episode 7, by design. He made Luke Cage, Hidden Figures, and Moonlight simultaneously. He was killing it on Luke Cage and Marvel TV and the other actors begged me to change my mind, which would have locked him into a long term contract (and cost him the Green Book Oscar) but I kept my word to him on a handshake. That’s why we’re friends to this day. Always keep your word.

[Dylan Park-Pettiford @dyllyp]

Warm up the guillotines. It’s time.

[The Field Negro @NotMyMAGAuncle]

Dear black travelers, here is your latest Green Book update: Avoid
@bucceesUSA at all costs. Google their founder to find out why. Thank you.

[Dom2K @Dom_2k]

I was really really expecting a kkk hoodie or some shi and I mean I was on the right track

[Michelle_BYoung @michelle_byoung]

You sided with the Trump administration’s scare tactics over DEI, lost a loyal Black customer base as well as Black voices that were formerly in the room. That’s HOW it happened and why we will continue to boycott you until you put some REAL CHANGE in motion.
