🦔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.

A 16-year-old girl has been found dead in a hotel room in Vienna.
She died of a drug overdose - in company of an arab gang who gave her the drugs.
Grooming gangs everywhere in Europe, not only the UK.

Conservative media doesn't want 20,000 angry, well-armed deer hunters descending on Madison to restore order. Hunters would not expect the commies to be armed. I'm guessing they'd be wrong about that, and an actual conflict would be pretty bad.
Conservatives are telling people that nothing is happening in Madison Wisconsin, that it’s all over already, BLM lost.
Their media isn’t reporting on it at all.
Here’s what’s happening on the ground. See for yourself.
It’s only been four days.
Can we abolish this asshat government already? Congress is our enemy, Trump is a bought-and-paid-for dumbass, and SCOTUS is crooked.
GET RID OF ALL OF THEM.

There is literally no law enforcement authority in Wisconsin with the will to address this problem right now, so the commies will get their stupid commune.
If Scott Walker was still around, they'd never dare to do this.
BTW, there's an election for governor this year.
Want to know what’s going on with the BLM / Antifa takeover in Madison Wisconsin?
I’m talking with multiple people who are undercover there and here’s what’s happening that you won’t see on the news or the live streams.
Spoiler: The city / cops support the far left completely.
In just the last 5 years, Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife MacKenzie Scott has poured nearly $20 billion into overwhelmingly woke causes.
By contrast, over the course of his entire life, stretching back to the 1970s, George Soros has donated $32 billion
Sam Altman says the elites are now very close to creating a genie that can grant any wish.
Altman says they will decide what the first wish will be, claiming it will "benefit humanity."
Altman says their goal is to make sure more people can wish for anything they want.
"You start making these wishes, and the computer grants them."
And it's not just issues with those who were vaccinated. Widespread, ineffective vaccination made the COVID virus worse, resulting in a lot of people (me included) getting very sick, who certainly would have done better with a weaker, pre-existing form of the virus.
The LARGEST vaccinated vs. unvaccinated birth cohort study EVER done shows vaccinated children are FAR SICKER across ALL 22 chronic disease categories:
Autism: +180%
Cancer: +54%
Neurodevelopmental disorders: +1254%
Autoimmune disease: +1120%
Motor disability: +810%
Speech disorder: +803%
Mental health disorders: +696%
Asthma: +553%
Developmental delay: +412%
Atopic disease: +386%
Seizure disorder: +216%
Food allergy: +128%
Neurological disorder: +26%
Any chronic condition: +250%
ADHD (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Diabetes (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Brain dysfunction (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Behavioral disability (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Learning disability (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Intellectual disability (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Tics (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Other psychological disability (ONLY in vaccinated children)
Our peer-reviewed reanalysis of the landmark Henry Ford birth cohort study found 22 out of 22 chronic disease categories were proportionally higher in vaccinated children... ZERO exceptions.

Yep.
TBH, I'd take LGBT people over mass Islamic migration any day, if that was my choice. Would be an easy choice, too.
I say this even though literally ALL the Muslims I've known have been great people...but come on. Fool me once, etc etc.
Liberals will lecture you all day about “Queers for Palestine,” “diversity is our strength,” and how criticizing mass Muslim migration is “Islamophobia.”
Then a Muslim man with known Islamist ties drives a van into a gay pride crowd in Berlin, kills one person, and injures over a dozen more… and suddenly the rainbow warriors are real quiet.
No statements. No marches. No “this is not Islam” posts. Just radio silence while their precious “allies” treat them exactly like the ideology always has.
These people are not just stupid. They’re willfully suicidal. They import the people who want them dead, wave the flags of the regimes that hang gays, and then act shocked when the predictable happens.
Reality doesn’t care about your hashtags.
Lefties already contorting themselves, denying it had anything to do with a Muslim migrant being who a he is. Blaming "masculinity" and lack of proper integration support. What BS.
Soon we will discover whether this is the most important story in the world and the subject of a future movie or a nonevent that is a criminal offense to even speak of.
It's the same as with the girl with the knife in the UK last year. Harassed to do the one forbidden thing, and when she finally does it, she's the one who gets arrested.
A guy followed a mother around with his camera while she tried to get away from him and told her to say “nigger” over and over, and when she finally does it that’s apparently a crime. Completely absurd and unacceptable. She must appeal and we must fund it. No magic word crimes.
Disorderly conduct is a relatively minor charge, a misdemeanor, and I'm guessing a conviction is almost never appealed.
This one, however, should be appealed. Make the system pay for inflicting this shit.
Guilty.
They did it.
They convicted Shiloh Hendrix.
I want to say it's unbelievable, but it's not. In fact, it's increasingly routine.
It will be recorded as “disorderly conduct,” but in truth it's “Whiteness in the First Degree.”
How many hours to render this completely retarded verdict? It was five or six hours, right?
Took a bunch of Minnesotan dumbasses six hours to determine that saying the n-word when a Somali dude *literally demands that you say it* constitutes disorderly conduct.
Guilty.
They did it.
They convicted Shiloh Hendrix.
