The Shepherd is Gathering His Sheep In a dream I saw thousands of people who had been tossed to and fro in the whirlwind of false teachers, preachers, religions, and the like being rescued by a shepherd. They had been getting lost while becoming sicker from the world, but it was coming to an end. The Shepherd began to gather them and minister to each of them individually and collectively. Seeking personal relationship over events and in small gatherings over distance ministering from big churches. Jesus is the Shepherd and His sheep know His voice. (John 10:27) I saw Him as He gathered the people from every walk of life, His little lambs and sheep on the hills and in the valleys of the world as He began to expose and shutdown the false ministries. The people knew exactly who He was and ran to Him, becoming set free, healed, and delivered in the process. In the coming months and years, we shall see those who are not His shepherds: all hireling and wolf pastors, prophets, evangelists, teachers and the rest being revealed and sent away, unable to do more harm. While those who He gathers are filled with joy and hope, healing and power, with liberty and peace as Jesus draws them near. If you have been in a low place and are seeking truth, peace, and especially joy, Jesus is your God and you answer. Those who have been far from Him, unable able to have a personal relationship with Him via His Holy Spirit, or have been wandering about the countryside seeking a shepherd and finding none, expect Him to draw you closer. He will knock on your door and if you answer, you will be brought nearer until you hear His voice and are filled with His inexpressible joy to be with you. Indeed, you are His beloved! ❤️ Enjoy the day and may you be filled with hope and and anticipation for Jesus to come nearer as you draw nearer to Him with prayer and thanksgiving. 🕊️

@ItsRobbAllen Sadly true.

Yesterday sucked. It was my last day at my church of 20 years. I played in the praise band for over 12 of those years. I enjoyed doing so because it was how I got to use my talents to serve God. But the sermon *literally* was about AI datacenters using all our water, mass animal farming, and how environmental racism was causing disproportionate harm to minorities. I'll miss playing, but the UMC is completely lost.

We're all in school. God is the teacher. What is He teaching and what are you learning today?

oh YES. Since the 1980s, Xerox and Canon made a secret deal with the US Secret Service. every color laser printer now embeds invisible yellow dots on every single page it produces. too small to see with the naked eye. they repeat up to 150 times per page so they survive cropping, damage, even shredding. the dots encode: — your printer's serial number — the exact date and time of printing — the manufacturer no law requires manufacturers to tell you this. most printer manuals don't mention it. you almost certainly didn't know. The first use case was counterfeiting. catching people printing fake money. reasonable. Then, in 2017, Reality Winner printed a classified NSA document and mailed it to journalists. investigators cross-referenced the yellow dots with security footage. she was identified, arrested, and sentenced to 5 years. because there is no law regulating who can request this information. no warrant requirement. no oversight. the EFF has been saying this since 2004 and nothing has changed. you can check if your printer does this. the EFF maintains a list: eff.org/pages/list-pri…

@PharmDBTC @Aquamariah1 Sorry to hear that. At least we know now where they're at as a company.

@Aquamariah1 @darrellbjones I tried, but that account got nuked again about 6 months ago under similar circumstances. Sadly, I’ve just given up.

My 18 year old Facebook account - permanently disabled overnight. My pages 5 in all are gone too. Instagram account as well. Meta account is attached, so also gone. Meta VR and glasses no longer work without this, which makes the products itself unusable. Yesterday I changed my password and created a passkey. Later I saw there was a login from singapore was emailed to me, a chinese account accepted a "friend request", then the account was disabled. I'm sure it's AI that processes it all, and getting to a human agent probably implausible. But they should be able to tell that the account was compromised, but alas, no human agent will intervene. And I am locked out permanently. This is the power these tech companies have. To permanently affect you and kill anything you have done, created, built, or posted on their platform. They can't be trusted. Not with your data, not with your personal information. I guess it was time to #deletefacebook

@DarkChrisBurner I saw this when first using it after purchase, but I assumed it was because of shutting off all the servers Elon shut down.

@darrellbjones X has been acting really weird for the last couple months honestly.

Anyone notice a weird glitch when following others. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails, sometimes it works but looks like it fails when you check the account that it says you are following when the button didn't flip over to "following" once clicked.

Thankful I'm not a domain admin anymore. This is the kind of stuff that will keep sys admins from sleeping. I missed out on weeks of sleep managing a whole companies assets.

MANUALLY DRAGGING BOXES FOR ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAMS IS FINALLY DEAD There is a new open-source agent skill that turns raw codebases into cleanly routed draw.io diagrams without you placing a single coordinate. The project, drawio-skill, runs directly inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. Instead of opening a blank canvas, you just ask your agent to map the repo. Here is what it actually does: → Extracts the module structure (supports Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust) → Uses Graphviz for auto-layout and routing → Drops redundant edges so the graph stays readable → Builds native, editable draw.io files But the standout feature is visual self-checking. Once it generates the diagram, the agent "looks" at the resulting PNG. If it sees stacked edges or clipped text, it auto-fixes the layout across up to 5 iterative rounds. It runs from a single file. No MCP server. No background daemon. Best part? It's 100% free and open-source. repo link in 🧵↓

@CutSteel_truth Wow, I am surprised it didn’t happen sooner then. Thanks!

@darrellbjones Happened to me over 5yrs ago. I was politically incorrect for their liking during Covid. Never bothered to go back. At some point the people will wake up to the fact that Facebook is just a propaganda control message center, and leave. There are alternatives.

Never forget that their is an info war going on against America. We Americans are also targets.

Bingo

And further controls will be enacted.

Bingo!

After having my Facebook account obliterated overnight, a day ago, I am so thankful that I did not use Facebook to authenticate to other sites. What a nightmare that would have been. We are all one glitch away from having our online identities destroyed.

@ineas_account @LucasPeczek What makes us trust these platforms with our IDs?

@LucasPeczek @darrellbjones The id thefts by companies seems to be no different from thefts by these heckers.

@Soul_Bones1 @chiefbuddah1 I have a meta quest 3 that no longer works. Definitely use another product.

@chiefbuddah1 @darrellbjones I'm thinking about getting rid of anything related to Meta, sad because I was looking forward to getting a Meta quest 3, but I'll go with the HTC Vive instead now that Meta has let all of it's long time users down.

@LegalFockery I think you’re right!

@darrellbjones Trust me, you'll be thankful in a week.

@GoforNo It was facebooks AI that did it. I don’t think the passkey was the issue, but my account appeared like it got hacked from china.

@darrellbjones Wait... did setting a passkey do this or the friend request... I'm confused how this happened.

@LucasPeczek I think the capturing for gov. Ids is the goal. Verify every human. They track people much better that way.

Same thing happened to me on FB. Went through verification with ID checks and was still ended up suspended. Then not a year later, Twitter/X. Also, same thing, to get my account back from hackers and reinstated, I needed to upload a bunch of documentation as ID. It also went nowhere. Started again on X, but gave up on the Meta joke.

@Cardano_se Yikes! I have no interest is working with their “support”. I just don’t have time or patience for that. Blessings to you!

@darrellbjones I was locked out of my Meta Ads account because I needed to add 2FA, but I already had 2FA. Got told to disable and reenable it, but was not allowed because I had access to sensitive data. Took a month of "support" for them to disable my 2FA and the agent pretended she didn't.
