This cop wasn’t fucking around.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigated it returned a no bill, declining charges against the Elyria Police Officer.

The suspect 💀.

🦔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.

The female police officer in the montreal shooting appears to have panicked and shot a fleeing civillian

You can see it clearly in this video here

Just awful beyond belief

Male police officer has been pronounced dead
Shooter is also dead
Female police officer is critical

The host of NPR's This American Life once tried to raise a pit bull with his now ex-wife.

He let the dog ruin his life🧵

He ended up getting it on Prozac and Valium, feeding it kangaroo and ostrich, and making excuses for the many times it would attack people.

Once land is sold, that land is gone. You're never getting it back.

America's wildlands are a national inheritance, the property of all Americans, not only those living, but those yet to come.

But you're a boomer, so nothing after your sad little death matters to you.

Wild video here. Before getting into what happens in this video it's important to know the officer here had responded to the same address the night before regarding a potential home invasion and talked extensively to the home owner.

The next evening (in this video) the home owner called 911 because a man had broken into the home wearing a "red ski mask" and "dark colored clothing."

The officer responds, sees the homeowner (again, who he talked to the night before) struggling with the intruder who had a knife. Officer gives a command for them to drop the knife then opens fire on the home owner, killing him.

Footage has been released as part of an ongoing lawsuit by the home owner's daughter.

two gay men - both of whom worked with children - applied to adopt a baby boy and then raped him to death within 3 months of the child being placed in their care.

Once again I am going to post this image for retards that don't understand.

The US is not populace dense like the far east and the Old World.

Texas has 30 million people in it vs Germany's 80 million.

So many guys go to the gym without a training plan and I think that's a mistake. You need to set specific fitness goals for yourself.

[Jeremy Stamper 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 @jeremymstamper]

Imagine you live in Cairo. 23 million people. No trees, no grass. Starving stray dogs roam the streets. It’s late July. No air conditioning. Sandstorms & pollution so bad you choke when you breathe. Crammed into a studio apartment w/ a dozen surly relatives. What do you do?

Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.

Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year.

On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.

This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.

As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action.

May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.
