  1. I’m sensing a theme with Twitter. Check the Musk thread for the prostrate massager.
  2. They supposedly brought in $2.5 billion in advertising revenue last year, even if the ads are Viagra, video games, or dick enlargers.
  3. Throwing a wrench in things, and showcasing their incompetence and/or that it probably wasn’t a false flag, at least two of the passports from Tajikistan that were shown off by the Russians as proof they were from Tajikistan, were for men who have been in Tajikistan for months and have alibis, according to the Tajikistan’s government. Russia has done this kind of stupid shit before - identifying somebody who turns out to be in another country - such as the Ukrainian POWs that they claimed died in a plane crash, who were alive in Ukraine. If it were a false flag, I think they’d do a better job of having identities prepared in advance. One of the men they “captured” said he was paid $8,600 by internet people to kill people in a concert hall. I get that Russia is poor, but it wasn’t some random gun-for-hire that killed those people - it was somebody who had some training and serious motivation. edit: I can believe that fake/stolen passports from another country would be used by terrorists, which is why Russia shouldn’t have put that out there so quickly and risked making themselves look even more foolish, and ramping up tensions with Tajikistan (who is already pissed at the lack of CIS support).
  4. Because each of the 2 million active users and bots are worth thousands apiece. Don’t ask me how, it’s Trumpenomics, but those 2 million users/bots are somehow going to generate hundreds of millions in revenue.
  5. Yeah, we publicly issued a warning through the embassy on the 7th, while at the same time privately warned the Russian government ISIS was up to something, and then it happens and ISIS publicly claims it, so of course Putin wants to link it to Ukraine. It’s telling that Russia even tried to blame the Russians in the Russian Freedom Legion or whatever, and that the stories the Russian bots on Twitter were pushing were so laughable. Any Ukrainian special forces in Russia proper are spotting for drones or going to focus on high-ranking military leaders, not civilians in a concert hall. I think it’s a pretty good sign that the Russian intelligence services or the intelligence components of their security services (KGB, FSB, etc.) are pretty tapped out and spread thin with Ukraine, and unable to focus elsewhere. Either this came out of the anger with Putin sending minorities (including lots of Muslims) to Ukraine in disproportionate numbers (versus say Muscovites) or this came out of Syria and anger over the Russians and Assad slaughtering/cleansing or displacing Sunnis. I don’t know the makeup of Muslims in the outlying regions of Russia who are pissed at Moscow, but ISIS is mostly Wahhabi, and there are plenty of candidates in Syria that they could draw from. And there’s always the specter of Chechnya starting shit if they think Putin is weak and couldn’t respond (with or without Kadyrov at the helm). If the comments about Dagestan being Azerbaijan are correct, that adds another facet to this - Putin will have to use valuable resources to tighten up security in the outer regions,
  6. Lately the bots have been acting up. Currently they are pushing Yosemite National Park as breathtaking and stunning https://twitter.com/search?q="Yosemite National Park"&src=trend_click&f=live&vertical=trends
  7. Yep, we got the Fall of Reach this season, and next season
  8. Given that the US government is out there saying they warned Russia a few weeks ago, kind of interesting that it still happened and that Putin fucked that up. Inside Russia guy on YouTube is asking why, in Red Square, if you take out a blank piece of paper and stand there, the police will be on your ass within a minute or two, but it took over an hour before police forces entered the building. That last part is easy, they probably trained at the same place that the Uvalde PD and Texas DPS trained.. Edit: Inside Russia guy is claiming the metal detectors at the concert hall were turned off and the guards were letting people inside.
  9. You will need to go into the iOS or Android app and account settings and then Fediverse sharing. Can’t do it on the web client yet.
  10. https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/C4yMa0Gxxph First post in the fediverse! We're making progress integrating Threads into the fediverse and launching a beta in a few countries that lets people choose to federate their posts. If you see this and turn it on from your profile, you'll see likes from federated platforms appear on your posts here. When you post on Threads, your post will appear on other social media apps in the fediverse, such as Mastodon. Mastodon users can then like your post, and you’ll see those likes on your original post on Threads. The idea is to allow interoperability between apps, whereas currently, everything just exists in its own universe.
  11. Glad to see Republicans are openly shitting on the Bible and the teachings of Jesus as we head into Easter.
  12. In a Statement tonight by U.S. National Security Council Spokesman Adrienne Watson, she Confirms that as soon as Intelligence was received earlier this Month regarding the Imminent Threat of an ISIS Terrorist Attack against Civilian Gatherings in the Russian Capital of Moscow, the Information was provided to Russian Officials under Intelligence Community Directive 191 (ICD-191) “Duty to Warn” at the same time that the State Department Travel Warning was released on March 7th. A lot of people seem to be mad that we provided Russia with the threat information. There’s the criteria that has the be met for ICD-191 to holdup. The criteria must have been met if notice and transfer of information took place. Meaning no methods, frameworks, or sensitive information was jeopardized.
  13. This is what we need to be pushing with the Qanon crowd.
  14. This is the kind of grift Surly needs to be involved with.
  15. I’m not sure how this ties in, but a-ha played there in November of 2019, and they started with “Take on Me” and ended with “The Living Daylights” https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/aha/2019/crocus-city-hall-moscow-russia-3b9ae460.html Whitesnake was there a few months before a-ha and stared with “Bad Boys” and ended with “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/whitesnake/2019/crocus-city-hall-moscow-russia-739ed21d.html I’m sure somebody on Reddit has a few thousand words on how these concerts led to the shooting today (in terms of target selection). Edit: I’m going to look at other places that a-ha has performed at.
  16. This is another video going around and there’s some misinformation present (but not much, one generation off). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus_City_Hall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aras_Agalarov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emin_(singer) I won’t quote the Wikipedia article about the elder Aras because there’s a shit-ton of stuff about the ties between Aras and Donald Trump and the Trump family and little about the Hall, but it should be noted that the Wikipedia articles mentions it was Emin, the son of the Elder Aras, who is the former son-in-law of the President of Azerbaijan, as of nine years ago. It was not the theater owner who was the son-in-law of the President of Azerbaijan. However, his son and the Azerbaijani President’s daughter had kids, so he and the President share grandkids. I find the choice of targets to be interesting. If it was a false flag, I wonder if they’d pick a venue like this, given who owns it. A Dagestani refresher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagestan#Post-Soviet_era https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63028586 (September 2022) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_North_Caucasian_protests So if they were shouting that Dagestan belongs to Azerbaijan (instead of Russia), then the venue may have been random and the shooting could tie into people in Dagestan being pissed off that they were pulled into Ukraine, especially at disproportionate numbers compared to Moscow residents. Probably wouldn’t be hard to find some folks pissed off over relatives dying. And ISIS may very well have cells in Dagestan that are recruiting people, or it could just be ISIS trying to start shit.
  17. Jad Sean would destroy Rittenhouse, but it reminds me of a joke a friend of mine (Clemson grad) mentioned: You guys shouldn’t make fun of this kid. He tried to hang himself after he missed that kick against us. Some people take the rivalry too far. He would have done it too but he couldn’t kick the box out from underneath him
  18. It’s a thing of beauty, complete with ties to China, and specifically, Wuhan.
  19. You know who is not? The Muslims who have watched what Putin/Assad have done in Syria against Muslim civilians. Been a lot of anti-Sunni massacres in Syria under Assad’s watch. Lot of Sunnis driven out of their homes in some form of ethnic cleansing. I’m leaning towards this not being a false flag operation. Especially since they quickly rounded up some unharmed dude to show him off for a camera. If this wa s planned, they would have had everything ready to trot out for the media. Everybody would,have had their stories straight, as @956 Worldwide alluded to.
  20. If the fighters in Syria think Russia is hurting for manpower, and can pull off operations like this, Putin will have to find troops somewhere to counter this, which will weaken him a bit somewhere. The conscripts Putin is calling up now are going to be shit in terms of fighting in Syria or Ukraine as well. And does Putin risk conscripting any more Muslims if this was ISIS?
  21. It really is stunning how incompetent the Republicans are - they are making the Democrats look very competent. They don’t want to be tainted by whatever they perceive up is coming. Whether that’s bigly losses in November, or something coming out in public, there are Republicans giving up their seats early because they are done with this shitshow. Something has to be driving this other than dealing with the MAGA idiots.
