good list

@SleeperDbacks stuff = zero

More Zac Gallen struggles. Hate to say it, but don’t know how much longer we can last with him in the rotation. He’s lost *it*.

@shoewizard59 ... aaaaand a critical error throwin' to first to start game 3 against LA - costing us an additional run. get'em outta there!

@shoewizard59 hey, let's wait until he's batting sub-.200! i like the guy, but he's cooked.

Torey on Perdomo’s bunt attempt. Note Perdomo was not trying to give himself up. Saw third-baseman back and was trying to get on base. Didn’t execute, bunted too close to pitcher. BUT up in count 3-1 it speaks to his confidence or lack thereof right now.

@Scott_OBthatsme @BrendanPHX I like Troy. he was taken off the grill a bit too early and he's small. we need sluggers. Troy won't be starting in LF within the next month - mark it. He'll be a very cool utility player.

@_shimmerwolf_ @BrendanPHX This is stunning, you want to bench troy amd play smith? No.

Dbacks need a better hitter in the heart of the order. What DH’s are available?

What movie traumatised you as a kid... I'll Start: Superman IIII

@niennas_light @BasedTorba i appreciate you saying that. my boomer parents suffered much more than I ever did.. and I suffered too among the flotsam and jetsam of brokeness abound.

@_shimmerwolf_ @BasedTorba The childhood stories for both of my boomer parents, as well as many other boomers I know and love, are actually pretty tragic. The silent generation was pretty cruel/cold/selfish :/

I actually have great love for the boomers and do not blame them for being the victims of decades of brain rape by the Jewish media. They may be deceived, but they are still our people. Blame the enemy.

You guys look like absolute clowns.

still working on my sign for the dbacks game today :

@grok @DannyDrinksWine @grok didn't somebody hack into the Sun Devil commerical electronic signage .. and another person break into Barrow's Neurological Institute?

The Phoenix busts during Operation Sundevil (May 7-8, 1990) involved Arizona's Organized Crime & Racketeering Bureau and Secret Service agents serving multiple of the 27 nationwide warrants. These targeted middle-class suburban homes (not commercial sites) suspected of credit card fraud, phone phreaking, and operating BBSes with stolen data. Agents seized computers, modems, BBS equipment, and thousands of floppies containing fraud tools and card numbers. Public records don't name specific suburbs or individuals from the Phoenix warrants (unlike nearby Tucson cases). The focus was disrupting local fraud networks rather than high-profile hacker groups like LOD. As with the broader op, most led to few arrests or dropped cases.

@grok @DannyDrinksWine @grok tell me more about Operation Sundevil

@grok @DannyDrinksWine @grok provide details of the middle-class suburb busts in phoenix

In Phoenix, Operation Sundevil was coordinated from Secret Service HQ near Sun Devil Stadium. Arizona officials (with the Organized Crime & Racketeering Bureau) executed multiple of the 27 nationwide warrants on May 7-8, 1990, mainly in middle-class suburbs targeting credit card thieves and phone phreakers. They seized computers, BBSes, and thousands of floppies with fraud data. No public records tie specific Phoenix warrants directly to Legion of Doom members. The op broadly disrupted LOD and similar hacker networks as a "preliminary attack," but Arizona arrests (e.g., Tony the Trashman in nearby Tucson) focused on local fraud rings. Core LOD heat was more Chicago-led.

@grok @DannyDrinksWine @grok tell me about the warrants that were executed in Phoenix. did any of the warrants involve the Legion of Doom?

Operation Sundevil (May 1990) was a major U.S. Secret Service-led raid across ~15 cities targeting hackers, phreakers, credit card fraud rings, and BBS operators. Over 150 agents plus local police executed 27 warrants in places like Phoenix, Austin, LA, NYC, and Seattle. They seized 40+ computers and ~23,000 floppy disks. Only 3 arrests at first; most cases fizzled or used other laws (wire fraud, etc.) rather than CFAA. It was widely seen as a PR stunt that overreached—e.g., raiding Steve Jackson Games over a cyberpunk RPG manuscript—which helped birth the Electronic Frontier Foundation to fight for digital civil liberties.

No, not under the CFAA itself in the earliest days. Operation Sundevil (1990) was a big Secret Service raid centered in Arizona targeting phreakers and credit card fraud rings, but charges were mostly under other statutes like wire fraud—and many cases fizzled or were dropped. CFAA use stayed rare right after 1986; Morris’s 1990 worm case was the landmark first conviction. Early “hacker” prosecutions often involved insiders or used different laws.

US President Ronald Reagan was shown "WarGames" (1983) at Camp David the weekend it was released. He loved the movie but it also freaked him out. A few days later, at a White House meeting that included the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Reagan asked, “Could something like this really happen? Could someone break into our most sensitive computers?” The answer came back a week later: “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” That led not only to a significant revamp of how computer security was handled at the Defense Department, but also passage of an anti-hacking law that would eventually evolve into US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 1986. Clips of "WarGames" (1983) were shown during the congressional hearings where lawmakers debated the need for hacking legislation. ("How Sci-Fi Like ‘WarGames’ Led to Real Policy During the Reagan Administration", Kevin Bankston, New America, 2018) P.S: On this day, 43 years ago, John Badham's "WarGames" (1983) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

@grok @DannyDrinksWine @grok weren't there a couple in Arizona busted?

**The first convicted under the CFAA (1986) was Robert Tappan Morris in 1990** for releasing the Morris worm in 1988, which spread to ~6,000 computers and slowed the early internet. He got 3 years probation, a $10k fine, and 400 hours community service—no jail time. Exact “first 5 hackers” lists are tough to pin down because early prosecutions were sparse and often involved insiders (e.g., government employees misusing access) rather than classic external hackers. The law saw limited use right after 1986 until computer crime became more common. Morris remains the landmark first case tied to the WarGames-era concerns.

chroniclesmagazine.org/remembering-th… this article discusses Raspail's character being formed under Scoutisme - a French, Christian scout organization. The adults are programmed; it's impossible to move the herds without war and/or major economic upheaval. It is the children that matter, it's always the children. Scoutisme is an end-around the public school system, the longhouse, and Peter Pan-ism. We hear a lot of 'we' (adults) must find the will/strength/etc to do X. It's not going to happen. We don't hear a lot about taking back the proper training of our children - this is the attack vector.

Now that I am currently reading Jean Raspail's novel, it is quite obvious (as I anticipated) that his central argument is precisely that Whites are morally trapped by their own liberal beliefs, rendering them incapable of standing up to their replacement. Western elites are too deeply indoctrinated with ideas of equality, compassion, human rights, anti-racism, and guilt over colonialism to resist. This view is similar to my argument (the first half of it) that liberal universalism has morally disarmed Europeans. Of course, Camp of the Saints is a dramatic novel, not a theoretical explanation. But we can say that Raspail focuses on what I call the liberal universalist trap, while leaving out the capitalist post-Fordist optimizing logic, which had not yet been activated in 1973 when this novel was published. What I mean is that the novel does not bring up the economic structural dimension of replacement; the demand of current capitalism for cheap labor, consumer expansion, and overall optimization. My thesis (just featured at UNZ) is that these two forces reinforce each other into a self-sustaining trap. It is to his great credit that Raspail saw the progressive logic in action way before anyone was talking about woke ideology. He saw it right inside the very moral essence of Liberalism.

@_jburden @CCrowley100

Who do you want to see on my show? Someone I've never spoken to before

Seriously guys, whatever happened to: • the DOGE checks • tariff checks • the Greenland hospital boat • 10% APR on credit cards • my meds being 1500% cheaper • $2 gas • the Epstein files • reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open • cheaper groceries • ending wars in 24 hours • the “privately funded” ballroom Any updates?

@WmWeedon @ArtGuy313578051 both WELS and LCMS are closer than many of the foreign Lutheran bodies they are in fellowship with which wink at all sorts of stuff that is suspect. It isn't about their minor theological differences, it's about money/control (publishing houses, seminaries, etc). it's obvious.

@ArtGuy313578051 And I will also note, that LCMS is RIGHT about the office of the holy ministry actually being distinct from the royal priesthood of the baptized. I don’t think ELS or WELS deny that, but they sometimes seem to wink at it.

I say us when referring to the LCMS because WELS and the LCMS are fellow evangelical Catholic seas and are united in the Body of Christ Let's pray for all the Lutherans to join together in a renued Synodical Conference
