@unspinthespina1 Once you see "Rhodes Scholar", that's pretty much it.

Shout out to the late, great @THErealDVORAK

@unspinthespina1 @kpvsmom Yep.

I think "anti-biologist" would be a more apt descriptor for his life's work.

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@unspinthespina1 @kpvsmom Agreed.

I don't entirely discount cataclysm (but it IS a culty petri dish from the Mayan calendar to the Hale-Boppers)

The institutionalized worship of Paul Erlich et al (the Population Bombers) concerns me most.

But ya gotta have faith

@omgsidewalks If SOME elites believe a greater than 0% chance of a cataclysmic event (Apophis? ECDO? other?), bunkers make sense.

The ruined planet isn't the endgame, just prep for the next phase.

Younger Dryas was just one of about 25 such events in the past 120,000 years.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

@adamcurry Rest in peace, John. The world is lesser without your wit.

To Adam, @andrewhorowitz and especially the whole Dvorak family, my deepest condolences.

Not gonna lie. It's rare to be this upset over someone I never met in real life.

@ryangerritsen LOL "biggest cloud... out of the United States".

I guess he's practicing ways to avoid criticizing China, which puts out about 3X the C02 of the US.

So even if there WAS a reason to panic about C02, under his own logic, he's lying.

@PageTurnGoldSPY @mtradpagan38952 @CAYANCOBRA4 @MattWalshBlog Yep. For controversial films, you need to give it a year into streaming for score reality on IMDb.

This goes all the way back to the war between The Dark Knight and The Godfather, when Nolanites were downvoting The Godfather to make TDK #1.

@mtracey Epstein Act II: Electric Boogaloo doesn't change a thing, beyond procedural housekeeping.

The first Act should have included CIA/NSA documents, not just DOJ "unclassified" documents.

It's all a show.

@thevivafrei Using Price Is Right rules, I'd bid 87 ft.

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@TheReclamare More pertinent...

Did some people actually believed him?

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@ryangerritsen One frame says it all.

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@scoopercooper It's such a bizarre ruling.

All indications are that the drugs would have been found regardless of the manner of the strip search.

Officers violating a person's rights SHOULD face repercussions, but this isn't a case of "fruit from the poisoned tree".

@jasonjamesbnn I was looking up the Toronto condo numbers yesterday.

Real estate firm Urbanation estimates for the GTHA are much higher than 2,200 in Q1 2026:

~4,000 built, new unsold
~9,000 under construction
(not counting the much higher resale stuff)

@JeromyYYC I have no problem with the use of the term "piece of bullshit", but this sounds like someone unskilled in the art of cussing, trying too hard.

When you can replace "piece of bullshit" with "bullet point" you're doing it wrong.

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@DeiCivitas "... the offender's (real or perceived) bias..."

is my favorite part, in a double-plus-ungood way.

Who's perception, the supposed victim? The police?

We're now legislating vibes...

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@SteveRae11 @ThevoiceAlexa @RebelNewsOnline @Yanky_Pollak 100% looks like a random dude caught directly between the shooter and cop.

Saw the shooter, went to take cover, but the cop was there and she shot him.

@DouglasStiff @Ravious101 I appreciate that you actually record replies.

My point though is that as a drone operator for a utility company, it's not your job to educate the public.

The company, at a corporate level, should figure out a better approach to informing the public.

[D614G Groves @dougplanet]

@DouglasStiff @Ravious101 "An unfortunate part of my job is educating the public."

Educating the public shouldn't be seen as unfortunate, since homeowners have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

If anything, the responses to you clearly demonstrate a failure in educating from customer relations depts.
