It’s much easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they’ve been fooled

No repetitive formula or camera angles. No hyper-realistic graphics that balloon development costs.

Nintendo is for gamers.

🦔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.

By far the biggest spreaders of misinformation and pure propaganda are western governments and their lapdog media outlets. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Liberty Bell.

They want you to believe that the big one is a replica of the one on the cart.

😂

And that they built it out of wood for a fair and then scrapped it.

😂

It is a masterpiece from the Old World.

Advanced civilization preceded us.

Imagine being in the mindset of looking at these structures and genuinely thinking we're more advanced today. There's and endless amount of these structures scattered across the plane, not just one or two, suggesting they were built with relative ease across multiple cultures. I can't even imagine how long it would take us to build something like this today. Reims Cathedral.

Once you see it, you can never unsee it...

“So let me get this straight. It's illegal to not send your child to school, but it's also illegal to send your child to school if they have not received injections of pharmaceutical products. Because of this, 98% of children have received injections of pharmaceutical products in areas that do not allow exemptions.

It seems like a really good marketing strategy for Big Pharma. Either give your child their product that has caused health issues in millions of people or... go to jail.

That sounds like corruption to me.”

When the person who everyone thought was going to change things for the better tells you to stop fighting data centers I think it's time to admit you've been duped once again. Wake up people and realize it's always going to be us vs them and we need to save ourselves.

Nintendo Games Turning 10 Next Year! 📆

[Del Bigtree @delbigtree]

The vaccine rate in England was about 70%, almost identical to America's. That means that 30% of the population, living under the largest propaganda machine we have ever seen, looked at all of it and said no. Those are not apathetic people! Those are people who stood their ground.

And then consider how many of the 70% did it under duress, under threat of losing their jobs. If half of them didn't want to, the picture changes considerably.

Andrew reminded me that democracy comes from the Greek: demos, the people, kratos, the power. Power to the people. He asked how powerful the people of Europe feel right now, and the answer is they're scared of their governments.

When people fear their government, that is tyranny. When governments fear their people, that is liberty.

He said he's confident we're going to get there. There are a lot of us and very few of them, and they are not, he said, intrinsically brave people.

I'm looking forward to continuing to build alongside people like @ABridgen .

What if 9,000-foot trees once covered the Earth, but something cut them down, and their remains are the mountains we see today?

Two completely different worlds here.

We live in a post apocalyptic world.

The folks in charge of this world are desperate to keep this hidden.

スプラトゥーン レイダース、インクの表現が想像以上に進化してる😳

比較してみると「スプラ3」は塗られた床なのに対し、「レイダース」は本当に液体みたい！

しかも泳ぐとインクがうねってツヤまで変化する！Switch2世代の恩恵を一番感じたポイントかもしれません。

Château de Chambord 🇫🇷 Constructed in the 1500s comprises approximately 440 rooms, 282 fireplaces, and 84 staircases. Constructed out of over 20,000 tonnes of tuffeau limestone.

It's enclosed with a massive 32-kilometer (20-mile) perimeter wall.
