To where? Back to Siberia?

This is a fun reading exercise! I managed to get pretty far with knowing some German and some obsolete letters and saying things out loud!

Interview with Phillips talking about Wolf and others. www.npr.org/2025/08/26/n...

Listening to- Mix of Sun recordings licensed to Chess and Chess recordings. Sam Philips said Wolf and Charlie Price were the only 2 artists that he couldn't plumb the depts of. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSN3...

Pressure on local govt *and* local businesses (owners & real estate companies) are effective as selling these properties for these purposes since these are often small town or counties. They go to your church, shop at the stores, part of civic organizations. Pressure works. bsky.app/profile/ridg...

New Mexico officials are reopening the investigation at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch. Let’s be clear: they’re investigating claims that girls may have been murdered and buried there. It’s a crime scene and should have been taken seriously years ago. Instead, here we are. Looking at a cold case.

I'm coming more to the conclusion that the SCOTUS was just following GOP's Paymasters orders. By delaying, allowed companies to raise prices due to tariffs, but will retain those prices when the tariffs would inevitably be ruled illegal. Getting public used to higher prices & larger profit margins.

Now imagine what a narcissistic sociopath like Trump watched or participated in if he felt safe at places like Moscow or Epstein's Is.

Nice 🧵 from our friend Ian about a FB post where mother is asking for a local church that is LGBTQ welcoming for daughter.

Agree. $$$ to the Bank of Dubai plus spread around WH "advisors" could get one exempted from tariffs. Easy money, like pardons and crypto.

As I mentioned yesterday, reports of all the cameras, IT infrastructure with added fiber optics connectivity on Epstein's Is. pointed to collecting, storing & transmitting large data sets to multiple partners. You know, like video. I'm sure similar at other properties. bsky.app/profile/ridg...

If you are surprised by what SCOTUS just did, you need to revisit your premises about the Court and the political economy of constitutional litigation, which is very sensitive to the preferences of people who do not like market chaos even if the administration does not care.

‘We’re just one Epstein story away from Trump announcing that UFOs are real’ - Seth Meyers, 25 July 2025

Your #BanjoAunti is here with a special guest: Ed Helms! While filming “Ode to Mary Jo” Ed and I got to have some banjo time behind the scenes. Today we’re demonstrating the difference between clawhammer and Scruggs-style banjo.

And we all *Know* that those prices won't be coming down anytime soon. Corporations will keep them artificially high to take advantage of those extra profit margins.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

The Supreme Court:

But 'crypto' was touted as being this international currency invisible and beyond the reach of jackbooted Fed govt intent on controlling us through our dollars.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Someone posted about problems South Afrikaners are having immigrating to US at Trump invitation; linking to this article. All I can say is you are getting the full immigrant experience from 1890s. Welcome to the Republican's new Gilded Age. www.history.com/articles/ten...

The best description the current political state of the Nation.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

@studiodoris.bsky.social You were interested in my adventures with EVM 12L & TL806 cab. You have any experience with "step down" mode/center port closed? Just did A/B comparison using the SG & Fender Twin/Quad Reverb through a Weber Z-Matcher. Was getting a rumble with it off. Gone with it on.

As a Catholic, If he doesn't confess and perform contrition, he is enacting a Mortal Sin and his soul is in peril. Add in all the other sins he commits as a member of this Admin, and he is doubly damned. As the Cardinal knows but too humble to mention.

This!!!! With FB/Instagram facial recognition ability, anyone in the courtroom can be identified and a social tree generated listing their background, employment, friends, relatives, vacation spots, income and demographic information.

🧵 1/ Been raining in S WV last couple of days & tempt is up. That means mist & water run off the hillsides. Typical Winter. Took a couple of interesting photos today, using phone, while doing errands. Here is one with mist rising off the river, which is at higher levels. and hillsides surrounding.

Parents are arrested, children taken when "parent" deny medical care due to religious or social pressure. This is obviously child neglect and all children in that household need to be removed and examined, perhaps placed in other homes.

The Arkansas Legislature, in its infinite wisdom, lured big data centers here with tax breaks. Large data centers tax the grid & cause reliability issues. They also use a tremendous amount of water for cooling. Electric & water rates will likely increase. Enjoy! talkbusiness.net/2026/02/hype...

Thread about IT infrastructure at Epstein's Island, including lots of data and camera purchases. Video takes up a lot of storage and bandwidth. Connectivity is necessary to send all that data to safe storage/partner's sites.

We are finally getting the bottom of the conspiracy. People were killed/died during the "activities". Here, at the Island and other places. If his clients participated, makes you wonder about the huge properties, golf clubs, beach front estates Epstein's friends and clients have.

Seems like that easy DHS money isn't so easy after all. Those real estate companies and local owners have to live in communities with the stain of selling facilities for concentration camps. And the locals don't like that. That big sale may poison business for yrs afterwards. Shame and shunning.

New Mexico probes allegation of bodies buried near Epstein ranch - www.reuters.com/world/us/new...

Cruelty to children has always been a goal of Border Agents, then ICE. Separating and caging under Trump 1.0 (some of whom disappeared) to current crimes. Why? Because children are least able to defend themselves from institutional cruelty, making small people feel big; laughing at their tears.

Because- 1-The GOP are slaves to Wealth & prosecuting or denouncing entrenched Republicans present in Epstein files threatens their hold on political power, then service to their Masters. 2-Many of those Masters participated in the crimes documented or alleged in Epstein files. So they won't act.

The value of reading texts from 5, 50, 500, or 5000 yrs ago is to realize common human problems & sentiments across all ages or cultures. The universality of love, hate, conflict, loss, social issues... How did those people of the past dealt with them. Its ignorance to say they can teach us nothing.

The gestures are *too* similar to be coincidence. Seems Elmo has studied film of the Feurer in admiration or trying to pick up public speaking tricks.

🧵1/Guitar stuff- One of the variables you have to consider when fooling with amplifiers and speakers is the electrical resistance in the amp output and the speaker(s) it's going to. Rated in a calculated measurement called Ohms. Ideally the two should match, though there is some room for variation.

It is estimated that since Reagan, tax cuts have sucked over $ 50 *trillion* out of the economy. Money hoarded or used overseas for investment. Money that has caused wages to stagnate by comparison, allowed infrastructure to decline, taken from education & healthcare. From R&D. So yeah, no surprise

See, nothing a few million couldn't fix.

Ronald Reagan started the Tax Cuts for the Rich in 1980. He promised us it would trickle down. He also started the downslide of unions, when he broke the Air Traffic Controllers union.

I would like to know where that WV camp is being constructed as couldn't find any info on it. ICE does rent beds in 3 regional jails and has a limited short term holding facility in Poca, but nothing else I could find. Would welcome additional information.

Yes. but the TV/Internet legal eagles said they wouldn't allow immunity for Donnie. Right now only the filabuster in the Senate can slow him down. The same filabuster everyone wanted to kill 2 yrs ago.

In a coffee shop and had this poster. Heard of Mothman and Flatwoods monster, not Sheepsquatch or Bifgfoot around here. Others are locals fun.

there’s a whole different America out there posting on Threads

Oh. Well, that’s not weird.

As Mehdi knows but won't articulate; the owners, shareholders and execs don't highlight the rantings of the OldMan nor his criminality because they monetarily *Benefit* from this Admin and GOP control of Congress. Ask Bezos why he is killing the WashPost while Amazon gets a $ 7 **Billion** tax cut.

Very interesting backgrounder article on new Va governor Abigail Spanberger. Light on policy but heavy on her history CIA as a case officer, how she got there and being part of group of National Security Women in DC and statehouses. archive.ph/YFeJB
