Hasan Piker attempts to convince Norm Finkelstein that Israel tying itself to Judaism makes it harder to combat anti-Semitism Norm Finkelstein argues back that anti-Semitism is defined as an "irrational" hatred of Jews, but that the resentment is rational. Hasan argues that no people are monolithic, and the scapegoating of Jews is a common tactic. That people understand that when Tucker Carlson says America has "demographic concerns", that is white supremacy. He says that if Jews were monolithic there would not be such a generational divide on Zionism and billions spent to maintain its indoctrination. Finkelstein says he would not tell someone who has experienced the Holocaust that they should not hate Germans. And that he would not argue with a Palestinian who feels the same way about Jews. Norm cites that 95% of Israeli citizens agree with the force used against Gaza, and that its citizen army that represents its population carried out mass starvation as a method of war. Hasan Piker says he agrees with the facts, but he has a more optimistic perspective in terms of changing people's minds on conflating Judaism with Zionism.

They are. This reminds me of one of the saddest stories on the internet, the years long effort to offer 25 million books, including many thought long gone, for free for every person, available at every library. They got sued into oblivion, and it’s dead on a server.

I fully believe that modern authors would be against public libraries if they were proposed today.

🦔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. Hedgie🤗

Borneo’s orangutans, Assam’s elephants — wildlife across the world is fighting a losing battle against bulldozers, greed, and habitat destruction. They may fall, but their struggle will remain a painful reminder of humanity’s cruelty towards the planet.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

“82 Sentences, Each Taken from the ‘Last Statement’ of a Person Executed by the State of Texas Since 1984” by Joe Kloc is the single most incandescent/nauseating/devastating poem I have read. Just utterly brutal. nybooks.com/articles/2024/…

The smartphone really revolutionized the waiting room. Oh I get 20 minutes to look at my phone? Don’t mind if I do. The only problem is sometimes when I’m looking at my phone at home my home starts to feel like a waiting room and I realize it is and I’m just waiting to die

The perception that women’s breasts are “offensive” or overly sexualized, while men’s are not is overwhelmingly a cultural construct, not a universal biological absolute, and is heavily shaped by Christian and Abrahamic modesty norms.
