Anthropic's "Project Panama" should DISTURB EVERYONE. Anthropic is secretly buying up rare books, slicing their spines, scanning them, and shredding the originals - and it's court sanctioned.
Some of these are the last known physical copies in the world. Now, they're gone forever, for the sake of digitization.
Wanting to digitize them is understandable, and I have no idea if Anthropic is doing anything with malintent. But DESTROYING rare books on purpose is both wrong and dangerous. And based on internal memos, Anthropic knew that's how people would react if this ever got out.
A digital file can be edited, updated, or quietly rewritten overnight. Anthropic could be completely accurate with their reproductions, but that doesn't stop someone else down the line. Without the original physical copy, there is nothing left to check the file against. Every dictator in history who has tried to control the will of the people has known that. This just makes it way easier than gathering up all the books and burning them.
Buy physical books, on acid free paper if you can so they'll last longer. No one can quietly change a physical book overnight. It is a reliable witness.
Flock cameras now log approximately 20 BILLION vehicle scans every month. That’s not targeted policing of bad guys. That’s mass collection and surveillance - not safety.
STOP THE FLOCK.
TRUMP ACCOUNTS:
— What is a Trump Account?
A Trump Account is a tax-deferred savings account for children under 18. The accounts are designed to grow with investment earnings over time, and when the child becomes an adult, the accounts generally function like a traditional IRA.
— Who is eligible?
Any child under 18 with a valid Social Security number may open a Trump Account. Parents or guardians must set up and manage the account until the child turns 18.
— What is the $1,000 government contribution?
The parent or guardian of a child born between calendar year 2025 and 2028 who is a U.S. citizen with a valid Social Security number may choose to have a one-time $1,000 contribution made by Treasury to the child’s Trump Account. This contribution does not count against the annual $5,000 contribution limit. This benefit is available for these children so long as the account is opened before the year in which the child turns age 18.
— Do Trump Accounts protect taxpayer dollars by preventing waste, fraud, and abuse?
Trump Accounts are built with strict safeguards to protect taxpayer funds, including requiring a valid Social Security number and limiting the one-time $1,000 pilot contribution exclusively to U.S. citizens born between calendar years 2025 and 2028, ensuring this benefit goes only to eligible American children.
— Who can contribute to a Trump Account?
Children, parents or guardians, grandparents, family members, friends, and employers (with the first $2,500 per employee per year excluded from the employee’s income) may make contributions. Additionally, qualifying charitable organizations and government entities (e.g., states, tribes, localities, etc.) may make contributions for all children in a “qualified class” (e.g., all children born in a year, all children in a state, all children nationwide, etc.).
— How much can be contributed each year?
The annual contribution limit is $5,000 total per child, with cost-of-living increases after 2027. Qualifying charitable organizations and government entities may make additional contributions that do not count toward the $5,000 limit.
— When do contributions begin?
Contributions to Trump Accounts will be accepted starting July 4, 2026.
— How are Trump Accounts invested?
By law, Trump Accounts may only be invested in broad U.S. equity index funds that track the overall U.S. stock market (e.g., S&P 500), do not use leverage, and charge no more than 0.10% in annual fees.
— Can money be withdrawn before age 18?
No. Funds may not be withdrawn before the child turns 18, except for a rollover of the entire account to a Trump Account with another brokerage (trustee-to-trustee transfer), certain rollovers to an ABLE account in the year the child turns 17, or distribution upon death. After age 18, standard IRA rules for withdrawals apply.
— What happens when the child turns 18?
At age 18, the account is generally treated like a traditional IRA. The account holder may continue contributing subject to IRA rules and earned income requirements. Withdrawals follow traditional IRA rules and the account holder may be subject to a 10% additional tax for any withdrawal before age 59 ½, unless an exception (such as for distributions for higher education expenses or first home purchases) applies.
— How do I open a Trump Account for my child?
Use IRS Form 4547 to make the election to establish an initial Trump Account for the exclusive benefit of a child who is eligible; also use Form 4547 to make an election for the $1,000 pilot program contribution from the U.S. Treasury to the child’s Trump Account if they are eligible for the contribution. After the election is made, beginning in May 2026, Treasury or its agent will send information to the individual who made the election to activate the account through an authentication process and complete the opening of the initial Trump account.
— When can I open a Trump Account for my child?
IRS Form 4547 can be filed at any time, including at the same time as the electing individual’s 2025 income tax return is filed. Beginning mid-2026, these elections can also be made through an online account at https://t.co/P803D5XoXG.
— Where will the Trump Account be held? Can I use my preferred brokerage firm?
All Trump Accounts will initially be created and held with Treasury’s designated financial agent. At a later date, parents or guardians will be able to transfer the full balance of a Trump Account to their preferred brokerage firm through a simple trustee-to-trustee rollover.
— Can my employer offer Trump Account contributions through a cafeteria plan?
Yes. Pre-tax salary-reduction contributions will be allowed to Trump Accounts owned by an employee’s dependent child through an employer-sponsored cafeteria plan, up to $2,500 per employee per year.

Dear @WasteManagement I followed one of your trucks on Hwy 181 (Daphne) in Alabama for more than 5 miles. Trash was dropping from the top of the truck the entire time. He turned onto 104 toward Silverhill. Pictures of truck attached.
Dear @SamsungMobileUS How convenient that Security update installed overnight on my S22 Ultra, and now I have a moisture warning on my phone that won't clear. Tried cleaning charging port, it's not damp or wet, clearing USBSettings cache. Using a Samsung charger. #fail
Dear @SamsungMobileUS@SamsungMobile Exactly what do the apps, shown in attached picture, have to do with a security update? Absolutely NOTHING! Your time in my home is short.
