No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions.
Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Betrayed after WWI, split by artificial borders, abandoned after defeating ISIS—Kurds are still punished for existing. As self-rule in Rojava is dismantled, the truth is clear: statelessness is the threat. Self-determination is survival. Kurdistan deserves independence.

A known racist who proved her own theories deeply correct.
Arendt knew the ins and outs and minutiae but the minute it concerned Black and Brown people ?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

As Bibi points out further in the thread, these are convertible bags - which means, they're backpacks, they're messenger bags... wear them as you want. You don't need to use a wheelchair to get these. (But if you DO use a wheelchair, they have attachment points for them!)

They're calling him the most French man in history
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.
