"She outsold Moby Dick by a margin that would make modern publishers weep—and literary history erased her because women loved her books." In 1855, Nathaniel Hawthorne—the brooding genius behind The Scarlet Letter—wrote a furious letter to his publisher. He spat out words that would echo through literary history: "That damned mob of scribbling women." He was writing masterpieces about guilt, sin, and the darkness of the human soul. Herman Melville was writing Moby Dick, his epic exploration of obsession and the unknowable sea. But the American public wasn't buying their books. They were buying hers. Her name was Maria Susanna Cummins. She was 27 years old. She lived quietly in Dorchester, Massachusetts. She had no literary pretensions, no famous connections, no grand ambitions to revolutionize American letters. She had simply written a story she thought people might like. In 1854, she published The Lamplighter. It didn't just sell. It exploded. Forty thousand copies in eight weeks. …More

What You Don't Know About SAINSBURY'S and the AI BIOMETRIC PANOPTICON swilliamism youtube.com/watch?v=lrZyBciUpLQ Is your local Sainsbury’s turning into a biometric panopticon? In this video, we investigate the shocking reality of live AI facial recognition technology being rolled out in UK supermarkets. What is being sold as a solution to retail crime is quickly becoming a massive social engineering experiment and data harvesting excercise.

From a safe distance, he asked how the lion was feeling. From deep inside the cave, the lion answered in a weak, fading voice: “Oh, Fox… is that you? Why are you standing so far away? Come in. Come closer. I want to see your face and hear your kind words.” The fox replied calmly: “My lord, I’d be glad to come in. But I’ve noticed something unusual: there are plenty of tracks leading into your cave… and not a single set of tracks leading back …More
