So I have been seeing this on posts about AI Companies being data hungry and going about to procure older books to scan and feed to models as to get High Quality pre-AI text. And during this whole process they cut the back binder to roster individual pages scan then with OCR and when done destroy them. It feels very dystopian arent there any regulations about this do they only destroy non-endangered books or they are after all of them and want to be a single source of truth? https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/08/17/ai-companies-are-buying-and-destroying-antique-books-heres-why/
I assume there is a specific event or issue which prompted UPS to generate a service alert relating to delivery in the middle east. However, there's too much Middle East news for me to filter out what triggered UPS to generate an explicit service alert. Can anyone loop me in?

I keep seeing headlines & reaction headlines but don’t know what she did to warrant all this buzz.
I saw a bunch of posts in the Hacker News type spaces talking about moving elsewhere and evaluating alternatives, and various complaints in past months. Is there compelling grounds for an exodus or are people always complaining about it and this is a nothing burger or small burger?
Ive been seeing this term 'digital twin' pop up a lot more lately especially when talking about new city developments or big infrastructure projects. It sounds kind of sci-fi but I dont really get what it means in a practical sense. Is it just like a fancy 3D model or something more? And why is it suddenly such a big deal now? Is there some new tech that made it more viable or accessible?
Over the past week I've heard a lot of uproar about deteriorating conditions abord the USS Abraham Lincoln, including reports of sailors jumping overboard.
What's going on here? Are the sailors overworked/been at sea for too long/suffering from cabin fever? Is anything being done to bring the ship back to port and/or alleviate the situation?
I keep seeing think pieces or others’ opinions about what happened but can’t seem to figure out the actual source of the discourse.

Before this all began, id never even heard of Wildberries. But after doing a quick google search, it sounds like they're Russia's version of Amazon. Non of the news articles I've read have given a reason for the specific strikes on these warehouses in particular, except the article ive linked which says Ukraine has accused them of "handling military goods". I dont know what thats supposed to mean, are they being used to store military equipment? Do they sell military equipment? Or are they just doing it to try and hurt Russias economy, which i assume it has a good percentage in supporting
I remember her as a right-wing politician, but for some reason she’s been making the news lately for tweeting a bunch of thirst traps and showing off her new tattoos.
Is there some context I’m missing?
Over the last few days, the NBA has been in a hot mess because of the Clippers organization and how they tried to circunvent the salary cap by funneling money to Kawhi Leonard. Whats the whole ordeal now that supposedly "no evidence" was found?
Randy Fine is a congressman of Florida and a vile bigot.
Here is he talking about deporting "Jihadi Mamdani" https://xcancel.com/i/status/2089154481787171210
He has a primary tomorrow and his opponent is Dan Bilzerian, an antisemite who has thrown antisemitic attacks at Randy. Because Randy himself is a raging bigot most people on social media don't care that he is now at the receiving end.
What I don't get is why the Democrats are coming in support of this vile bigot?
Here is Shontel brown coming in support of him

Here is Randy Fine saying if Democrats come to power this will be our last 4th of July https://xcancel.com/i/status/2071287976059871364
Here is Hakeem Jeffries also coming to Randy Fine's support: https://xcancel.com/i/status/2089166349335454179
Why are Democrats so worried about a virulent Bigot's feelings?
Maybe I am naive, but I see a lot posts and comments about how important it is to get rabies shots after almost no contact with animals.
Don't get me wrong, I know how dangerous it is and in the post below I understand that it is necessary to get rabies shot after a racoon attack you, but in the comments below, people talk how they got rabies shots after a bat flew into their house. No bites, no scratches, nothing.
Is that such a huge problem in the US, that you guys have to look out for?
For context I live in Germany, where rabies is almost extinct. We know what rabies is, but I don't know anyone who ever got the shots.
Potential spoilers!
I have been seeing a huge influx of fanart of spiderman, which makes sense cause a new spiderman movie came out. However, most of the art I am seeing shows spiderman as a transgender woman. if this is something to do with the new movie, please spoil it for me, I wanna know what is going on.

From what I understand, Farage resigned his seat in Parliament, which triggered a special election to fill it. But he ran in that election and won the seat back, so what was the point? What was he trying to accomplish?
For context, I'm American and I only know of this election because of the many YouTube recommendations I've gotten about Count Binface challenging Farage. example video
I keep seeing people spamming anti viral spiral on YouTube posts.

So, I dont watch these two very much but I can kinda recall seeing episodes of them a few months ago and they seemed happy, got fantastic chemistry, and just had some new kids.
Now the narrative seems to be
- Tom Segura got a big break
- Tom lost weight
- He now thinks he's better than his partner
- He now thinks he is a big shot and will show up with a 22 year old soon
- He kinda nuked his legacy, house, family, the podcast
- His (Ex) wife wanted to make it work, was fine, and is just thrown aside
(Giving extra credit to Bobby Lee and Khal, for making it work regardless so smoothly)
What did I miss, how, why is that true?
