If I upload a movie clip to YouTube, I get a copyright strike within hours.
If I burn a copy of an album for a friend, I'm a pirate.
But AI companies can feed millions of books, songs, articles, and photos into a model, and it's called "training."
The artists, writers, and photographers whose work went in weren't asked and weren't paid.
Courts are still sorting out whether that counts as fair use, and so far the rulings are mixed.
But watching it play out, I can't shake one question.
When an individual copies something, it's theft.
When a trillion-dollar company does it at scale, it's innovation.
Same material. Different size of bank account.

Dozens of former Dulwich College schoolmates and some teachers have alleged racist or antisemitic behaviour by a teenage Nigel Farage (in the late 1970s/early 1980s), including specific claims that he said “Hitler was right” (and related remarks like “gas them”);

NFL华盛顿指挥官队前老板丹·斯奈德，花4800万美元在马里兰州买下一座紧挨着波托马克河的豪华庄园，唯一让他看着不顺眼的，是庄园与河岸之间隔着一片受联邦法律保护的国家公园原始林地，挡住了他在阳台上看河的视线。
2004年斯奈德动用人脉绕过环保听证，直接雇了一支伐木队开进国家公园领地，操起电锯一口气砍光了130棵百年原生大树，给自家后院清出了一片无遮挡的河景视野。
国家公园首席巡逻员罗伯特·丹诺发现整片山坡被砍秃后依法上报追查，没想到斯奈德靠着高层关系，最后只交了一笔微不足道的小额罚款就轻松过关了；
反倒是坚持追查到底的巡逻员丹诺遭到了内部疯狂报复，不仅被无故收缴警徽和配枪，还被发配去管郊区小卖部，甚至连家里都被联邦法警持枪破门搜查。

How can he lay a wreath at the Cenotaph—a monument that honours the sacrifice of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts—when he has openly said that Jews should be “gassed” and that “Hitler was right”?

Boebert Demands Votes be Recounted Manually: 'I Favor a Hand Job'
COLORADO—Rep. Lauren Boebert on Sunday called for a manual recount of the election results in her congressional district, telling reporters, “I favor a hand job.”
"This recount should not be conducted in secrecy," Boebert said. "What is needed is a hand job, with plenty of people around to watch."
Asserting that the voters “deserve to be satisfied," she declared, "A hand job is the surest way to guarantee a happy ending."

Colin Jost, SNL: “President Trump is blaming Tuesday’s losses on the poor quality of Republican candidates. I’m surprised that Trump couldn’t find any new young talent because he used to have a guy for that.”

A man was knocking on doors in Malibu asking for her teenage daughter by name. Months later, the whole world would learn who he really was.
In the late 1960s, Angela Lansbury seemed to have it all. She was a three-time Oscar nominee and a Broadway star with Tony Awards on her shelf. She lived in Malibu with her husband, Peter Shaw, and their family.
But inside that beautiful home, something was quietly falling apart.
Her teenage son, Anthony, had started with cannabis and moved on to heroin. Her daughter, Deirdre, was drifting into the hills above Malibu, where communes, drugs and charming strangers promised freedom and love.
One of those strangers was a scruffy drifter with a guitar who lived nearby in Topanga Canyon. Her stepson David later recalled that this man used to come around their house looking for Deirdre.
His name was Charles Manson.
At the time, he was just another odd character on the edge of the 1960s dream. Then, in August 1969, the world learned the truth. The Tate and LaBianca murders shocked the nation, and Angela realized how close the darkness had come to her own front door.
The danger did not end there. Her children were still caught in that world. Anthony’s addiction grew so severe that he overdosed and fell into a coma. Then a fire swept through Malibu and destroyed the family home.
Angela looked at her husband and said simply, “We have to leave.”
She did not mean a vacation. She meant walking away from Hollywood, from the career she had worked at since she was a teenager, and from everything they knew.
Peter agreed.
In 1970, they moved the family to a quiet farmhouse in County Cork, Ireland, the land of Angela’s mother’s family. There were no Hollywood parties there, no communes in the hills, and no strangers asking for her daughter.
Angela set her career aside and focused on her children. She found a local doctor who helped them through withdrawal, one painful day at a time.
Slowly, the healing began. Anthony recovered first. Deirdre took longer, but she made it too.
When Angela finally went back to work, she had to rebuild her career almost from the beginning. It worked out better than anyone could have imagined.
In 1984, at 58 years old, she became Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote. The show ran for 12 seasons and won the hearts of millions. Behind the camera, her son Anthony, the boy she once feared she would lose, directed 68 episodes of his mother’s show.
Deirdre married and opened an Italian restaurant with her husband in Los Angeles.
Years later, Angela said she had no doubt they would have lost one or both of their children if they had stayed.
She won five Tony Awards, became a Dame, and stayed beloved around the world until she passed in 2022 at the age of 96.
But the role she was proudest of never appeared on any screen.
It was being a mother who was brave enough to give up everything for her children ♥️♥️

🚩 The Sunday Times front page blasts out: “No £5bn EU rebate for UK.”
But no British application exists. No negotiation has begun. No rebate has been requested or refused.
Leo Varadkar has not been Taoiseach since 2024 and now advises a Washington-based corporate consultancy. Michel Barnier is also a former official.
Their opinions are informed but they are not negotiating mandates from Ireland, the Commission or the 27 EU governments.
The article turns Varadkar’s conditional “I think” into a categorical headline, manufacturing the terms of negotiations that do not exist.
Why is Britain’s European future continually framed by former politicians predicting what cannot happen, rather than by asking current European leaders what could?

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.

“Russia is starting to attack Britain” what do you mean STARTING?
Brexit was Russia. The rise of Reform is Russia. Widespread far right bot activity is Russia. Male street violence is Russia. European election interference is Russia. Widespread division and chaos is Russia.

In 2014, a woman accused Russell Brand of assault. A court then banned her from ever talking about it, even to the police. She had no lawyer; there was no proper trial.
It's hard to believe so here, for the first time, is a copy of the injunction: taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/11/07/…

This is the most disgusting thing I've ever heard this man say, and that is saying a LOT.
TRUMP: "Iran is not a war."
“It’s not a war. It can’t be a war when for 5 months nobody was hurt, killed, or anything else. We haven’t lost anybody in 7 months, so I don’t think that’s a war.”
Tell that to the families of the 23 U.S. service members killed in the line of duty and the 866 wounded since fighting began, you worthless cuck.
How fucking DARE you?

Tim Cook explains why Apple really builds in China, and it isn't cheap labor
Most people think companies go to China for low labor costs.
Tim Cook says that stopped being true years ago.
The real reason is skill.
It's not only how good the skill is. It's how much of it sits in one place.
Apple's products need advanced tooling and state-of-the-art precision with the materials.
That kind of expertise runs very deep in China.
Tim: "In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I'm not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields."
So it isn't about cost. It's about vocational depth.

🇮🇹🇺🇦 WOW! WHAT A SPEECH! WHAT POWERFUL WORDS FROM ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER GIORGIA MELONI!
Here is the full five-minute excerpt of her speech devoted to Ukraine and Donald Trump.
“Russia has launched a new autumn campaign against Ukraine.
Unable to advance on the battlefield, Moscow has increasingly turned its attacks against civilians: power plants, residential buildings, hospitals, and even buses carrying people to work, as in the horrific massacre in Kramatorsk.
This is a strategy through which Russia seeks to subjugate Ukraine with terror, cold, and darkness, simply because it has failed to conquer it on the battlefield.
The facts contradict Kremlin propaganda and those who spread it here.
Since the beginning of the year, Russia has captured very little territory, and in September it lost much of what it had previously seized.
This halt did not happen by chance. It was achieved through Ukraine’s courage and Western support, including that of Italy.
This resistance is the only effective instrument for bringing Russia to the negotiating table.
I respect and understand the passionate debate on this issue, including within this chamber, because nobody here wants war.
We all want peace.
The difference lies in how we intend to achieve it.
As I see it, supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace. It is what makes peace possible.
Because if an aggressor expects its opponent to surrender, why would it negotiate?
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, as many suggest, we would not have peace.
We would be discussing the occupation of a European nation and the return of Soviet imperialism.
Personally, I do not miss those times. I do not miss Russian tanks crushing uprisings in Prague and Budapest.
I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
And nobody will ever convince me that the surrender of those defending their freedom can be called ‘peace.’
The peace we want, and the peace we are working toward, even at the cost of concessions, is a just peace, because only a just peace can endure.
Only a just peace can protect Europe and our interests.
That is why our government's position remains unchanged: support for Ukraine, with particular attention to civilians, pressure on Moscow, and Euro-Atlantic unity remain the pillars of our actions.
In this context, we must address Donald Trump's diesel agreement with Russia.
This is a decision I consider extremely risky.
Of course, we all recognize the need to contain fuel prices, which place a heavy burden on families, including Italian families.
But we must understand that rising prices are primarily linked to the war in Iran, not Ukraine.
Legitimizing Moscow, whose bombs continue to fall on Ukrainian cities, providing new revenues to finance the war, and weakening sanctions are all factors we cannot ignore.
And they contradict everything Western nations, including the United States, have done to force Putin to the negotiating table.
An energy ceasefire is a different matter, one that Italy supports, and we are grateful to President Zelenskyy for Ukraine's immediate willingness to agree to it.
Now we expect Russia to stop attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
Finally, at such a difficult moment, when so many variables are beyond our control, there is at least one thing that depends on us:
We must ensure that Europe does not simply stand by and watch, because the terms of peace will affect our continent and our security.”
— Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy

Kushner's post is what you get when you put diplomatic negotiations in the hands of businessmen who have little experience with the issues, contempt for experts (and Europeans), potential financial incentives for deals with Russia, and a naive belief in the power of personal relationships with Russian leaders and officials.
The problem with the post is less its description of perfectly reasonable objectives for European security than the apparent unawareness that the agreements, institutions, and mechanisms proposed to achieve them have been in place for decades and that Russia has repeatedly violated them.
So long as Trump's diplomacy in Europe and Ukraine is based on the notion that Europe and Russia are equally responsible for the current state of affairs (or worse that Europe and Ukraine are more to blame than Moscow), it will only reinforce Russia's false hope that it can achieve its strategic and territorial ambitions in Europe.
