Zohran Mamdani’s government-run grocery stores will require shoppers to use an ID:

“Sort of a library card-esque thing.”

🦔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.

@MarkRenton808 @disclosetv Once those 300,000 see that the majority of their compatriots are refusing to fight and are instead sitting at home, they’ll have second thoughts about dying on the frontlines.

@YaboyMrJinks @PositivFuturist You’re in for a rude awakening

@RupertLowe10 It really bewilders my mind on how much we are willing to tolerate the systematic abuse.

[Duncan Hegan @DuncanHegan1]

This Kirpan angle is a red herring. The important factors are (1) the police’s attitude to racism accusations (2) the murderer cynically leveraging that and (3) the collusion of the family. All three of these are indicative of wider and more serious problems than Kirpans.

@XMRVoid It’s inevitable and written in the code.

@paleochristcon The UK is what Greece were to Rome. So naturally the US has a vested interest in the security of the UK.

@thenoorer @GodLogic_GL Which verse in the Quran uses the word Tawhid?

@habahurhahu @__Liberty4All_ @realspeckzo And Cyrus was cut off and had nothing? Historically, that does not match the prophecy. Also, the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was set in motion in 457 BC, which is after Cyrus.

@jacksedart @lukin2006 @punishablepress If you are incapable of seeing why a government that is hellbent on preserving life is more optimal than one that institutes death, then I don’t know what else to say.

Every single Christian in the West needs to heed this warning about Islam in our nations.

Take a breath. Your decision to attack Iran wasn't warmongering—it was bold and decisive. And you're right, after a weekend of bombing and assassinations, Iranian people will overthrow the government and you'll be vindicated. Need help crafting a victory speech? Just say the word

@un2trois4cinq6s it is for me

[Lachlan Phillips exo/acc 👾 @bitcloud]

He lost his papers so they had to import him.

He committed the crime because he's mentally ill.

He cannot be tried because he's legally retarded.

He cannot be deported because his home country will arrest him.

He must be housed because he's unemployable.

He cannot be named because it's racist.

You cannot talk about it because it's a hate crime.

His critics will be portrayed in the media as the perpetrators.

POSIWID: The Purpose of a System is What it Does.

And the purpose of this system appears to be to create the most efficient and unchallenged machinery of child rape, murder and terror the Western world has ever seen.

@FactcheckIslam @btbsoco You are sorely misinformed on history - so much so I’m erring on the side of believing you are being deceptive in an effort to undermine Christianity, Muslim Guy.
