We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hayden Panettiere.

Through her performance as Kairi, Hayden brought warmth, heart, and an unforgettable voice to the Kingdom Hearts series.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and loved ones.

🦔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.

thinking abt this cut of animation from the evangelion finale

[Zach @zachz27]

Words are supposed to be a thing I use well, but they’re always taken from me when I’m faced with this movie. An artist and his chosen medium reaching their peaks together. This stuff is subjective and all, but Eva really is just that good.

@FitzGSN_ Depends which version of 13 we get. If he’s the 16 game player from ‘24, we’ll have a lot of fun. If not, it’ll be a long year

“nolan’s odyssey isn’t realistic!” “it isn’t accurate!” okay but it isn’t it kind of cool to make the central messaging of a thousands-year-old story told over generations resonate with modern day concerns to teach us lessons just like it did when it was first told

Today marks 7 years since the Kyoto Animation arson attack

We remember the 36 lives lost, those who were injured, and the incredible resilience of everyone at Kyoto Animation. Their stories and the works they created continue to inspire fans around the world.

them: this movie is a spit in the face of greek culture

actual greeks: holy shit i need to see this

[Gene Park @GenePark]

this means so much to me. i am still so proud of my 7 year old article on Evangelion. it was the first time i publicly acknowledged my time in an institution as a depressed, suicidal kid and how Eva taught me that existing is worth living for.
