We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.

The short answer: page by page, by hand.

You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.

We are pleased to report we have never had any ball tampering scandals in our inglorious history.

The Republican leaders should revolt against this Administration to save the legacy of their political party. It is a desecration of ideals of stalwart Republican leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower.

The current Trump administration is the shadiest administration in the history of USA since Andrew Jackson's Presidency, probably worse.

[Shubham Dasgupta @thisissdgtweet]

The Christian Trump supporters should wake up and realise this administration has successfully invaded their scriptures and twisted it in a way that always protects the perpetrators and punishes and revictimises victims.

People often say that we are just a troll account, but we always reply that we are far worse than that.

Dear @ICC,

It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.

Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.

This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.

Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.

The future is always ice, until it isn't.

Yours sincerely,

Icelandic Cricket Association

@iamMumtazShigri And that band should release their first album with a song whose lyrics are like this:

🎶
Khawaja mere Khawaja...
It's all on social media...
Pakistan won the match
Thank you Gemini...

It is said that when Che Guevara was captured in his hideout, after being betrayed by a shepherd, one of the soldiers asked him in surprise:

How can you betray a man who has spent his whole life defending you and your rights?!

The shepherd calmly replied:

His battles with the enemy scared my sheep!

Many years earlier, in Egypt, the great commander Mohamed Karim led the resistance against Napoleon's French all-out campaign.
When he was captured, the court sentenced him to be executed.

But Napoleon called him and said:

I am sorry to kill a man who bravely defended his country. I do not want history to remember me as a killer of heroes. I will forgive you if you pay 10 thousand gold coins as compensation for the losses of my army.

Mohamed Karim laughed and said:

I don't have that much money, but the merchants owe me over 100 thousand gold coins.

Napoleon gave him a reprieve. Karim went to the market, chained and surrounded by soldiers guarding him, hoping that those for whom he had sacrificed himself would help him.

But no merchant responded. On the contrary, they accused him of being the cause of the destruction of Alexandria and their crisis.

He returned to Napoleon, spiritually broken. Then Napoleon said to him:
- I will not kill you because you fought against us, but because you sacrificed your life for a cowardly people, who love trade more than freedom.

Mohamed Rashid Rida summed it up like this:

"He who stands up for an ignorant people is like one who sets his own body on fire to light the way for the blind."

1. Valid: US did encourage India's Russian oil imports post-Ukraine war for market stability, per official records.

2. Fair point: Imports driven by necessity for affordable energy, unlike critics' non-essential trade.

3. Accurate: EU's 2024 trade with Russia hit €67.5B goods + €17.2B services (2023); LNG imports record 16.5M tonnes.

4. Correct: Includes fertilizers, chemicals, metals, machinery beyond energy.

5. True: US imports Russian uranium, palladium, fertilizers, chemicals ongoing.

6. Justified: Targeting India ignores similar Western actions.

Summary: India defends sovereign trade rights, highlighting Western hypocrisy to protect energy security.

@tweetsfromanim Fellow Indian here. Thank you for your tweet 🫶 but it is not enough, it's not about being disrespectful towards Modi or any specific political parties, a foreign entity disrespectful towards our incumbent sovereign party, it is a disrespectful towards each and every Indian
