On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, remember: the Jewish people are indigenous to the Land of Israel. 🇮🇱
@ValentinaForUSA@elonmusk Christianity doesn’t need and never had warriors like you. The Cross embodies sacrifice, love and forgiveness. What you are portraying is evil, arrogance and a pride towards earthly power and violence.
Mongolian Girl Has a Laugh with her Camel.
The little girl’s name is Butedmaa and she was just 5 when this picture was taken in 2003 by photographer Han Chengli, who titled it “Inner Mongolian Child”.
“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more war. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel. We will only have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us.”

Last night the IRGC performed public hangings on 3 innocent young men.
This 👇🏽 was Bush’s Shaikh’s response.
The IRGC is now a proscribed organisation in the UK.
Expressing support for them is a criminal offence.
The Islamic regime has executed all these people in recent weeks.
Their only crime: demanding freedom.
Hundreds of others, including women and children, are set to be next.
And the world remains silent.
Jews don’t eat bacon, but they don’t try to ban it for others.
Mormons don’t drink coffee, but they don’t try to ban it for others.
The Amish don’t use electricity, but they don’t try to shut down power plants.
Islamism wants to force everyone to live under Sharia law.
He will be executed tomorrow he will be hanged. He’s just a child. Please help me to get the leaders to call the Islamic Republic to stop the execution.
My heart broke when I just watched the forced confession of this young boy on Iran’s state TV.
They tell him: “You are Mohareb.”
He asks: “What does that mean?”
He was so young, he didn’t understand that it means one thing in Islamic Republic:
execution
A 17-year-old boy, Shervin Bagherian, was arrested in Iran’s recent protest. Now in the middle of a war they are preparing to execute him.
His only crime was wanting a normal life. There is still time to speak up. Will you stand with me and be his voice before it’s too late?

Let me get this straight. The argument is that Israel has been trying to wipe out every Gazan, whilst at the same time flooding the place with aid, vaccinating all their children, and killing almost none of them who weren’t combatants, in terms of a significant percentage of the whole? In nearly 3 years? That’s the argument? That they’re both genocidal AND completely shit at it?
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.
