A former FBI special agent is currently out on $100,000 bond after being arrested for attempting to expose what he described as a covert Russian intelligence campaign to gain influence over leading American tech figures—namely Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The agent, a decorated counterintelligence officer with nearly two decades of service, specialized in Russian espionage operations and had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the U.S.

Customs and Border Protection seized a shipment of t-shirts from a streetwear brand that sells an “Eliminate ICE” t-shirt and multiple shirts critical of police and capitalism. Among the shirts seized was a design that features a swarm of bees attacking a police officer. Emails seen by 404 Media indicate that the shirts are going to be shipped back to China or will be “destroyed.”

 

Any time a major acquisition occurs, it’s standard for regulatory agencies to want to secure some promises before giving it the green light. Verizon’s recently approved purchase of Frontier Communications for $20 billion is no exception, but the concessions that Brendan Carr, Donald Trump’s pick to head the Federal Communications Commission, was able to secure are a little… different. Carr gave the green light to consolidate the industry once Verizon promised it would stop caring about workforce diversity.

Those GOSH DARN Democrats keep trying to feed and house immigrants with MY TAX DOLLARS.

Instead of putting them in cages and throwing them in prison. (AGAIN WITH TAX DOLLARS.)

Yeah, a judge will fortunately stop them with due process.

Oh wait. We don't have due process anymore.

Oh wait. They're arresting the judges.

Oh wait...

Damn, guy is showing you don't need a massive garden to grow food, literally showing you how to grow food in a box.

And the comments are dunking on him. Wtf.

Speak for yourself. I had a security guard who watched me scan then try to run up to me when I finished to recheck my stuff.

Like dude, you watched me from the beginning.

It's always a hassle for me. Items not scanning. The machine screaming about the item not weighing correctly. The machine screaming at you because you moved your item.

It's great for quick purchases. But I'm going to a cashier if I have more than 10 items.

Worked with a guy who was obsessed with Tim Ferris and his 'Opening the Kimono' philosophy on transparency.

Dude took it really far when he pushed for nude events and "Tell All's" at our company retreat.

Later quit to run some crypto scam.

What in the tradwife?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I'm not from the US so I don't know how expensive this stuff is over there, but if it really costs this much to clothe one baby for a year then fuck me and I'm shocked.

Be prepared to be shocked.

Companies play the threat game all the time. Just go, so a local startup that treats people better can take over.
