American Father and Vlogger Tricked Into Front Line Combat by Russia
The Texas man is the latest in a string of Americans lured to Russia by propaganda, yet confronting a reality that is altogether different than the utopia they were sold.

Summer Sunday adventures: My daughter let me know about a fractured piece of lumber in her bed frame. It was a fairly standard piece to replace, so I swapped out one for the end. Pulled the piece and drove to Lowe's to get a replacement. The plan was to have it cut to size. Sounds simple, entered the store, walked to the lumber section. Asked a rep if I can get a piece of lumber cut to size. The rep asks another rep, Is the saw still down? Yes. The saw has been out of operation for 4 weeks?
@Murray_N I went to Home Depot next and was in and out in 5 minutes. It felt like the older employees know, but are unlikely to complain to management to keep their job. I have been shopping for a washer, and dropped Lowes from the list of vendors.
Immigrants who arrive in the United States illegally will no longer be eligible for a bond hearing, a move that comes as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to keep immigrants who enter the country legally detained, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
The new policy change was announced in a memo last week from the acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. The memo was described to ABC News.
Before the policy change, immigrants could request a bond hearing before an immigration judge. The extensive new detention policy is also expected to face legal challenges
The news was first reported by The Washington Post.
You could legitimately make a fortune by parking outside of the DMV in a van with an inkjet printer, charging $5/page to people trying to get REALIDs who've been told they need to produce a printout of yet another bill or bank statement for the clerk to glance at and then shred.
When I moved the other year, I was required to get a new driver's license within 30 days. One of the valid forms of proof of address was a utility bill.
How I was supposed to move, set up a new utility account, and get a bill within 30 days was not explained.
@cptbutton I'm in more or less that situation now. I lost my wallet, and with it my driving licence, which was the only photo id I had which was valid for applying for... A replacement driving licence. As I live off grid, I also don't have a utility bill. So far I've been unable to find any form of photo id I can apply for without photo id or utility bills which is valid for applying for a driving licence.
getting my realID in PA was quite literally the most Kafkaesque nightmare I have ever experienced.
It took six HOURS, AFTER we got triaged by the person at the door checking to make sure you had the right documents with you.
The person being served next to me was an Afghan translator who had been one of the few to have been granted asylum during the Afghanistan military withdrawal, and the poor clerk had to tell this poor man that he couldn't get a RealID.
@citizenAlex @mitch When I had to fly to an expensive training course in June, I went and got a REAL ID. I went to papersplease.org to read why it was I had resolved so firmly not to get one fifteen years ago. The level of corruption and privacy invasion, the offense I took at it: so quaint now, in the era of DOGE 🙁
@jaredj @citizenAlex @mitch the only people who really can't fly in US without a Real ID are these who cannot get a (biometric?) passport. While it's a bit more convenient to carry a card instead of a passport, the other benefits seem to be absent. (Needless to say, such people exist, and I suppose US has millions of them, but, still, what is the point?)
but then you'd be an asshole trying to make bank by exploiting desperation, like a fucking class traitor who sells out his own people while they're begging for food under threat of death.
It's wild that when this happened to me at the (notoriously difficult!!) Chinese consulate, I had to get out of line, but they had an inkjet printer so my visa application went through. At the DMV, when I didn't have enough ridiculous documents, they just sent me home without a RealID and I gave up.
I have privacy based reasons to not get a Real ID (people can call me paranoid all they want). However, I noticed that my experience trying to get a passport (brand new one, never gotten a passport before) was far easier than my attempt to humor getting a California Real ID based Drivers Liscense.
...and I say this as one of those people who has fallen between the cracks in bureaucracy before.
@Catwoman69y2k Having been naturalized as a US citizen (and previously having had a green card), the RealID process does not represent any incremental privacy risk for me - I am providing the same information, to the same entities, that I previously had to provide that information to.
@jimmyhoke Strawman understanding the nature of the cage suggests that if a third party bought your debt that you do not owe anyone any money anymore because your debt has been paid
They suggest sending debt collectors bills for wasting your time and telling them they owe you a certain fee for each letter they send or for each minute they spend with you on the phone
And sending them bills in the mail based on those assigned fees
this is if you manage to set up a cartel. Because otherwise venture capitalism steps in and outsells you with 1$ per page until it drives you out of business. (and then sells at 4.50$ per page)
maryland made all of their IDs REALIDs like 15 years ago, after the law went into effect. i dont remember doing anything special to get it, i just went and renewed my driver's license and it was REAL
i feel like any state that did not do this is run by morons.
@Yeti Although it's less well known, Dark Star is by far my favorite of films that Carpenter had a part in. Super low budget, good comedy, and introspective.

AG Bill Barr’s father gave Epstein a job at one of the most elite boys’ prep schools in NYC. BANNON: Bill Barr’s father was the one who met Epstein once at a bookstore. Epstein was from Coney Island, had no college degree, and yet B He taught math or was a tutor. After that, Ace Greenberg’s son picked him up. Next thing you know, he’s at Bear Stearns. Then he’s a partner.
And as another coincidence, Bill Barr was attorney general when all of this resurfaced. It was under his authority that the Bureau of Prisons reported Epstein was “murdered”—excuse me, “committed suicide.”
One time we had a problem with someone stealing some of our mail out of the mailbox. So my son ordered a giant bag of sugar free Haribo snacks. It didn't stop the thief, but it made him feel good.
(It took legal action to stop the thief, and the cops messed that up, so no charges. Just no more stolen mail.)
Multiplier update; SCOTUS hands Trump another prime legal win; Bondi purges more DOJ lawyers; Dems demand Epstein docs; NYC floods; and even the Times admits the tranny issue broke their coalition.

Once I watched an interview from many decades ago where a civilised person asked a Kalahari Bushman about his society. One questions was: 'Do you have Chiefs?'. The man became quiet for a while to absorb the concept of 'Chief'. Then he said: 'We have many, many chiefs. In fact, Everyone is Chief of themselves'.
Protesters across the United States targeted Palantir Monday in a day of action focused on the technology company’s work with ICE, facilitating President Trump’s expanding immigration crackdown, and work with the Israeli military.
C'est vrai que Marie était mariée à Joseph et plus vierge depuis un certain exercice du droit de cuissage il y a 2025 ans et au moins 9 mois. Mais c'est pas grave, c'était le patron.
Mmmm il me semble que la virginité n’est pas liée au sexe vu que Jesus faisait partie d’une fratrie mais plus sur la notion de péchés Elle n’avait jamais fait de péchés c’est pour cela justement qu’elle avait été choisie Surtout qu’elle n’était pas toute jeune Mais bon on s’en fout c’est drôle et c’est ce qui compte
Il me semble qu’il avait des frères ET des sœurs donc bon Marie …. Comment dire …. Elle avait vu le loup ? Elle avait fait son devoir ? Elle avait consommé ? Elle avait fait krak krak 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting, that Typhoid Mary desert. I hadn't heard that she made deadly ice cream. Just that she refused to cook for people. Even after the NY health Dept. told her to stop.
It was better pay cooking, than maid work. Eventually they sent her to a NY island (N. Brothers) to live in isolation.
They probably could have just removed her appendix. Where the Typhoid germ was harbored. A lot of germs stay safe there.
@Max_Imum I screwed up a sentence there. It should read... She refused to stop cooking for people. Even after the health Dept. diagnosed her as a disease carrier.
She just went to work for another family, and then back to cooking for them. I guess her famed dessert then took more lives.
The social media company likewise tracked when #adolescent girls deleted selfies, "so it can serve a beauty ad to them at that moment," according to Wynn-Williams. Other examples of Facebook's ad lechery are said to include the targeting of young mothers based on their emotional state, as well as emotional indexes mapped to racial groups, like a "Hispanic and African American Feeling Fantastic Over-index."

10 hours of thunderstorm sounds came on the playlist, so i didn't realize it was also raining outside and left my car windows cracked (again). fortunately the rain sounds reminded me to look outside
Here's notes on why, and how to manage them, and how to get my work elsewhere if you don't want to follow me here (in open licensed formats that you can republish in still more ways if that pleases you better):
Yes, my apologies if this came across as a jab at you. That wasn't my intent at all.
I just thought it was funny because I'm absolutely positive I've done this cycle at least once in my life... if not many more. I read all of your long threads every time I see them (inevitably when someone RTs the first post), and I love them. Then I realize I'm not following you directly, and that seems silly because I love your content. Then I get blasted, remember why I didn't follow directly, and unfollow.
Some time later, the cycle inevitably repeats... and I feel obligated to make fun of myself for repeating it.
"Google needs to keep up the story that it is growing. Once Google stops growing, it becames a "mature" company and its PE ratio will fall from 20:1 to something more like 4:1, meaning an 80% collapse in the company's share price..." - @pluralistic
Not to be the I said so guy, but it's near a decade ago that I first started muttering about maybe not calling Google a startup anymore - which is essentially & rather insanely what they're still doing.
How do you continue growing when the majority of the world's population already uses your products? Magically inventing more customers (at least, faster than the birth date) is not going to happen.
@Murray_N You know what's worse than hearing someone lock their brakes up behind you? Being on your phone with your hands off the controls while someone locks their brakes up behind you.
I've just finished reading _Technofeudalism_ by Yanis Varoufakis. If he's right, then it's politically urgent to escape from the clutches of Meta, Google, Amazon and the like as soon as possible.
Varoufakis' arguments reminded me of _Chokepoint Capitalism_ by Rebecca Giblin and @pluralistic, though according to Varoufakis the dominance of Amazon and the like has killed off capitalism and is a form of feudalism. I still want to compare these two analyses more carefully.
But Varoufakis' argument is: these platforms have managed to lure people in to work for them for free, and with every post and update on their platforms, these exploitative and massively dangerous companies grow stronger and harder to defeat. On the other hand, if the people take back social media and the internet more generally, there's a real opportunity for building a counter-movement with these technologies.
The lesson I take from this: getting people to quit the capitalist platforms and join the #Fediverse is part of political organisation, and possibly an important part if you consider the way people are tethered to their Instagram and Tiktok.
Let me repeat this: Convincing and helping comrades to quit the capitalist platforms and join the Fediverse is an important form of revolutionary political organisation. ✊
@pre @ajn142 Yep. And valid perhaps eight years ago when I was still also posting on Twitter (mostly to raise awareness of Mastodon and help move people over). Not so much once the place becomes an actual Nazi bar. Also, if you haven’t, read my post. This goes deeper than that.
Oh wow, that's awful. Being called uncomradly by the people you care for. Sorry you saw yourself forced to leave. 😔
In 2017, I hadn't even heard of Mastodon yet. But in 2025 not being in the Fediverse? Heck, in 2023 not being in the Fediverse (and that's still generous)?

Exactly. Men in women's sports is a total circus, but Thomas is a straight up cheater.
The fraud is so obvious. He's a straight male who is taking hormones to lower his testosterone, so he can compete with women. There is no ambiguity there.

if you read between the lines, elon stated the intended goal of his party. he said he will target "10 house seats, and 5 senate seats". is that enough to lower federal deficits? of course not. is that enough to screw our razor thin margins in the house and senate and hand the dems congress? yep. That is his intended goal and we need to plan accordingly.
imo, he cozied up to trump because anybody with an IQ above 12 can see that he was gonna beat biden/cumala. he hoped he can get a exemption for his companies when it came to the EV mandates for his support. now that the plan backfired, he's trying to slither back in to the dimms good graces.
