Trump and Netanyahu's repugnant displays at the UN, in which they boasted of war crimes and threatened genocide, would not have been possible without ostensibly liberal accomplices like Canada's Mark Carney They are all cut from the same cloth
Reporter: Do you think Trump is going too far when he says he is considering annihilating Iran? Do you think that helps the peace process? Mark Carney: There is a war now. He is speaking the language of war.

🦔Someone is buying Japanese used books by the ton. Not novels or comics. Philosophy, history, medical law, Edo-period cultural texts. Multiple buyer accounts all ship to one logistics center in Okayama Prefecture that won't answer questions. Export records show over 50 tons, roughly 100,000 volumes, shipped to the US since last year. No buyer has been identified. Separately, court documents confirmed Anthropic's "Project Panama" bought millions of books in the US, cut the spines off, scanned them, and shredded the originals. An internal memo said the goal was to "destructively scan all the books in the world." Similar operations have been reported across Europe. My Take Anthropic's US book operation came out in court filings earlier this year. Project Panama. Millions of books, cut the spines off, scanned, shredded. Their VP chose the codename so nobody outside the company would find out. That story broke and apparently the same operation just moved to Japan. Anonymous buyer accounts, a warehouse in Okayama that won't take questions, and 100,000 volumes of specialized academic texts that nobody buys to resell. I don't know how you build a trillion-dollar industry on material you had to acquire in secret through middlemen because you knew the public would object. Authors spent years on those books and now they're fed through a scanner and thrown away so a chatbot can sound smarter. If the data was free to use, they wouldn't need codenames and anonymous warehouses. The lawsuits over who owns this material have barely begun and I think the copyright exposure across the whole AI industry is enormous. Anthropic's internal memo said the goal was every book in the world, which describes the foundation of the product. Hedgie🤗

US elections ought to be called Surrender Season. It’s that time when the fragile green shoots of critical thinking and dissent are crushed underfoot, and everyone then ritually submits to the imperial consensus.

Reliably rated the ‘most corrupt’ country in Europe, Ukraine has by September 2026 received $1.9 Billion in support from Australia. That’s Billion with a B. Slave to Ukraine!
Corruption scandals in Ukraine do not stop. In Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa, investigators just busted a cash-conversion scheme. Companies paid fake firms for goods and services that never existed, cut their taxes, and got the money back in cash. About $11 million a month. Some $526 million since 2023. Roughly $67 million in unpaid taxes. Іs there a bottom to this corruption — or only a roof?

*Uprooting trees to uproot the people* Weeks before the olive harvest, Israel orders uprooting Palestinian olive trees across the occupied West Bank. Thousands have already been destroyed since October 2023. Environment destruction is part of the accelerated ethnic cleansing.
Israeli terrorist forces are uprooting olive trees on a large scale in the town of Beit Rima near Ramallah.

this makes sense when you consider, for example, that israel is one of the rare countries where the same person moves straight from leading its department of education to leading its military (naftali bennett). such a transition would be unheard of in most other countries. imbuing israeli youth with this ideology is a long-term likud play that has been extremely successful.
"Should we commit genocide in Gaza?" "Do you think there are any innocents in Gaza?" The series of comedian Lior Schlein talking to the youth of Israel continues, and this time he hears why even babies are not innocent. The full scale Nazification of Israeli youth is truly shocking.

Dr. Marandi just described the US policy perfectly: "The other guest is openly genocidal. He's talking about starving the Iranian people to trigger an 'organic revolution.' That's the opposite of organic - that's let's kill the kids, let's kill the women. Starve the people, make them suffer, because they don't like the revolution. This is deeply sinister. It shows the nature of the U.S. empire. There's a lust in the United States to make Iranians starve. It's a deep sickness."

🦔A farmer in Vineland, New Jersey photographed a neighboring golf course and accidentally caught 62 unpermitted gas generators at a data center that powers Microsoft's AI tools. Each ran at 1,982 kilowatts, over 50 times the state permit threshold. New Jersey fined operator DataOne $1.1 million, the largest fine ever against a data center in the state. DataOne can keep operating while it reapplies for the permits it already failed to get. My Take DataOne applied for permits, got rejected, and turned the generators on anyway next to farmland, homes, and two schools. The fine is a million dollars for a company with billions in capital. They decided it was cheaper to break the law and pay the penalty than to wait for approval. And they're probably right, because the fine doesn't shut anything down. They get 45 more days to reapply while the generators stay on. Oracle can't get a gas pipeline permit in New Mexico. Over 500 communities have banned new data centers. And here's a company that just skipped the permits entirely and got a fine it can pay without noticing. The AI infrastructure buildout is on a collision course with every community it touches. These companies need power now and they're not going to wait for anyone to say yes. New Jersey already killed data center tax credits because residents organized. The more of these stories that come out, the harder it gets to site the next facility anywhere. The industry wants to spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure, but the people who live next to it have a vote too. Hedgie🤗

NEW: Iranian sources, to the surprise of NOBODY deny that “technical talks” are taking place between the United States and Iran. This was some of the most egregiously false reporting I have seen throughout the entirety of this war, which says a lot. Iran has been EXTREMELY consistent in their demands, and it was held with Witkoff and Kushner via third-country mediators… There’s no “technical talks” happening, that’s ridiculous.
IRGC-owned Fars News citing an informed source denies Axios’ report of new Iran-US talks. “It was fabricated mainly to manage markets and oil prices.” Also denies Al Jazeera’s Tehran bureau chief’s report that Iran sent technical experts to New York for the talks. #Iran

Kicking out the free press is bad, but what’s even worse is calling for the press to be assassinated. You might want to sit this one out.
Kicking out the free press is what fragile authoritarians do. Not American presidents. instagram.com/reels/DdovJZPT…

Check out the speed (EV sales growth, YOY): >Colombia: +304% (Apr 26) >Brazil: +196% fully electric (H1 26) >Uruguay: +147% (Aug 26), EVs now 51% of new car sales >Latin America overall: +74% (Q1 26) >Mexico: +22% (H1 26) Now the rest of the world: >Europe: +29% (Jan–Aug 26) >Global average: +4% (Jan–Aug 26) >China: -12% (Jan–Aug 26), yet EVs hit a record 65% share because petrol sales fell even faster >North America: -21% (Jan–Aug 26) The world grew EV sales 4%. Latin America grew 74%. North America is going backwards. The next EV boom isn't in Detroit or Stuttgart. It's in São Paulo, Montevideo, and Bogotá. Wires chewing pipelines

So funny how he can straight up say 1 Israeli life is worth 33 American lives & they just lap it up
Benjamin Netanyahu says October 7th was the equivalent of "sixteen 9/11s." "Proportionately," the death of 1,200 Israelis is "equal to" the death of 40,000 Americans, he says.

A stunning realization of the past few years is that very large numbers of the planet’s political leaders are used to a world in which the US simply tells them what to do, and now that the US is a failed society, these abject and passive followers are lost, adrift and ridiculous.
