Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

FBI 302: The woman said Epstein introduced her to Trump when she was 13–15: “It was Donald Trump.” She said Trump told her “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” then raped her. She said she fought back, Trump “pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head.” #OpDeathEaters
Epstein took her off the island when she was between 13 and 15, she told agents on 7 August 2019, and drove or flew her to New York or New Jersey. She was "introduced to someone with money, money... It was Donald Trump." Others were with them, in a very tall building with huge rooms. Eighteen pages of handwritten notes cover that interview. Its typed summary, filed under case number 31E-NY-3027571 and marked PROTECT SOURCE, went online in March 2026.

Trump did not like her, "from the get-go, he didn't like that I was a boy-girl", the 302 records her saying, a reference to her being a tomboy. She could not identify the others present. They all left when Trump asked everyone to leave the room.

He said something to the effect of "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be." He unzipped his trousers and put her head, in the 302's phrasing, "down to his penis". She "bit the shit out of it". He struck her and said words to the effect of "get this little bitch the hell out of here." Agents returning to the incident in a later interview recorded her clarifying what the blow had been: he "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head".

She bit him because he disgusted her, she told agents. "He had money, it reeked off of him."

NDP leader David Eby’s campaign pledge today to increase income taxes on highest earners in B.C and Green leader Emily Lowan’s response
On the campaign trail Sunday, Mr. Eby announced a plan to raise income taxes on B.C.’s highest earners to fund health care improvements and measures aimed at lowering costs for British Columbians. The plan, which would start in the 2027 tax year, would increase rates on the top two tax brackets by 2 percentage points and introduce a new 24.5-per-cent bracket for income of more than $1-million, generating up to $1-billion in 2028-29, Mr. Eby said. 
The changes would affect the top 4 per cent of earners in B.C. and apply only to income earned over each tax bracket threshold. Those earning $190,000 or less would see no change. “After years of freezing childcare, cancelling affordable housing, and sending workers to the picket line, Premier Eby has suddenly discovered that the wealthiest should pitch in to fund the services we all need. But by taxing income, Premier Eby is missing the point. The ultra-wealthy don't get rich on pay cheques. Their fortunes grow in stocks and real estate, and his plan doesn't touch a cent of that. Tomorrow, the BC Greens will announce a plan to fix that.”
