@Vicplay101 I think it’s a Cinema problem. Ticket pricing is ridiculous so people wait for the movies to be available on their already paid for streaming services, or Google Play. We can watch at home where we can pause to go pee or get a snack. But I did watch D&D in cinema.

@QueenMarkmyword @MizzPaugh @RealCandaceO Candace said a law enforcement source gave it to her in October, ie. Long before court hearing. But note that law enforcement then also had it and still went with “he changed clothes on the roof”. And the footage does NOT clearly show a shot is taken (no recoil or muzzle flash).

🇿🇦 WAKE UP WESTERN CAPE: OUR FARM ESTATES ARE UNDER SIEGE‼️
While SAPS spins clean PR stories, hard facts show a terrifying picture across Stellenbosch and Macassar.
Look at the timeline. It proves these aren't random break-ins—we are dealing with organized syndicates:
* 24 July: 3 masked men use heavy crowbars to storm Neethlingshof Farm. They hold families hostage and hunt for firearms and safe keys before escaping in a white Toyota Corolla. Zero arrests made.
* 25 July: SAPS raids a farm in Croydon (Macassar)—just down the road. They find an illegal 9mm Taurus handgun, unlicensed booze, and two smuggled rhino horns.

THE HARD TRUTH SAPS ISN'T TELLING YOU:
1. The syndicate corridor: Neethlingshof and Croydon sit on the exact same highway connection.
2. Organized network: Armed farm home-invasions and heavy contraband trade (rhino horns) don't happen by accident. Unlicensed guns in Macassar directly fuel farm attacks in Stellenbosch.
3. Bureaucratic failure: Police treat these as separate minor crimes while community NPOs do their job for them. The masterminds behind these operations walk free.

We cannot sit back while local families live in terror.

After seeing a post on it yesterday, I’ve looked more deeply into Anthropic’s purchasing and destruction of millions of used books.

They spent tens of millions of dollars acquiring and destroying books to train their AI model, Claude.

They knew, from the beginning that it would be unpopular. They knew what they were doing, was wrong.

An internal memo from 2024 stated:

“Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world.”

“We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.”

Why used books?

Companies like Anthropic and Meta found it impractical to gain permission from authors and publishers to use their work.

So instead, they stole their work to train their product through mass purchases of used books and through pirating them from the internet.

The authors of these works, didn’t receive a dime for their efforts. These companies stole the hard won literary talent of others to train machines to replace the victims of their theft.

Anthropic cofounder Ben Mann personally downloaded countless books for this purpose from LibGen, a book pirating website.

When a new book piracy website debuted in 2022, Mann sent an email sharing the link with his employees stating: “just in time!!!”

Meta employees were wary about the piracy of books, with one engineer writing, “Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right.”

Anthropic purchased millions of books, in batches of tens of thousands from Better World Books and U.K.-based World of Books.

They then used a “hydraulic powered cutting machine” to slice off the spines of these books before scanning them. Finally, the remains of these books were picked up for recycling.

Feel free to use AI, it’s a free country.

But remember that, if you use Claude, that Anthropic has committed a great wrong, and they knew that they were doing it from the beginning.

Below is an image, from a court case, of a warehouse full of used books, that instead of being held and read by you and your children, have been destroyed forever.

AI is inevitable, but spend your money on the companies who do good, and do not knowingly commit evils.

May the most moral company win.

@vonderwolf @grok @baroncoleman @imperfectgracej @RealCandaceO Candace stated that she has had this footage since October 2025 and that it was given to her by a law enforcement officer/agent. It's not recorded from the hearing.

@Hunting250 @VerhalenB @baroncoleman @RealCandaceO You Americans keep forgetting that the rest of the world knew of Charlie and are following the case. There’s far more than “fringe Republicans” that think Candace & Baron, et al. are on the right track.

@DeliaByliefeldt @Leon_Schreib @HomeAffairsSA In the WC we now HAVE to show a SmartID in order to renew our drivers license. The old license card won’t do. Since Nov 2025. So then we have to make sure to get a SmartID before renewing Drivers. 🙄

@SupaVanSA @JackMillerCPT @grok Not easily - expensive. Don't be petty - I apologised and corrected myself. I believe Data Centres will be harmful to both the environment and the people. Erin Brockovich is doing a massive investigation on them.

[Chanta_Loo @Chant_a_Loo]

@SupaVanSA @JackMillerCPT Apologies, not 'can't' - prefer not to due to factors I listed and expenses connected to those factors. Sa can't even build a power plant correctly and within a reasonable time.

@SupaVanSA @JackMillerCPT Data Centres can't use seawater

[Chanta_Loo @Chant_a_Loo]

@grok @SupaVanSA @JackMillerCPT Most seawater-cooled facilities do not circulate seawater through the servers themselves. Instead they use a two-loop system to avoid exposing sensitive equipment directly to corrosive saltwater.

[Chanta_Loo @Chant_a_Loo]

@SupaVanSA @JackMillerCPT @grok Seawater is not preferred because it causes corrosion to the system, introduces marine biofouling (algae, barnacles, bacteria, etc.), contains sediment & debris (extra filtering required), and environmental regulations.

The DA/CoCT has just approved a data centre project that will require "174 megawatts of electricity and 4.4 billion litres of water a year for cooling."

https://t.co/78bX6vc7Uc

I thought they said Cape Town's water and electricity was in desperately short supply?

They said it was our fault for consuming too much.

They said we are apocolyptically near "day zero". 😱

They said that's why they now need to charge so much for electricity, water, rates and taxes.

If any of that was true...

Why all of a sudden, is the loss of 4.4 Billion Litres of water and 174 Mega Watts of electricity, not a problem? 🤔

@pattygifflaw Thank you! Was just telling someone yesterday I needed a summary list of all this to show them!
