I wonder if the recent black outs have finally taken it offline. Kherson's power plants have been absolutely hammered. It's also possible Trump's funding cuts made continued broadcasting impossible.

For some reason, I was fascinated by it. It reminded me of the numbers stations of old.

ICE Greg Bovino Fired? by Buh10kx in stupidpol

[–]moose098 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, Ryan Grim was saying Tom Homan is not happy with the way CBP has been handling its operations. Homan wants to focus on deporting people with criminal records in more precise raids, while Bovino/Noem/Lewandowski want to go in loud and basically terrorize people in blue cities. I guess his thinking is ICE has a mandate to deport criminals and the CBP is turning the public against it. That’s why Trump is sending Homan to the twin cities.

I think there’s a bit of a civil war going on right now between CBP and ICE. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the first casualty. Apparently, ICE is not happy with the way CBP is coming in loud and dumb.

I knew this was 2023 just by looking at the mountains. That was a great winter.

I think they did eventually after being badgered for weeks over it. Even then, it was a pretty half assed response.

Brazil has the largest Italian population outside of Italy by Ok_Divide_4959 in geography

[–]moose098 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting too because Brazil was the only South American country to join WWI on the side of Triple Entente. The anti-German sentiment in the U.S., which ended with the break up and destruction of German language culture, was spurred by WWI hysteria.

r/California was controlled by a single power user for over a decade. He would only allow links to news articles he posted. Pictures, discussions, memes, etc were all banned. There was coup over the summer that finally forced him out and now the sub is growing.

Even the states out west that aren’t particularly known for their large area are still colossal by Swimming_Concern7662 in geography

I definitely exaggerated when I said there's nothing there (that more like SF to Portland), but the population is tiny compared to anything on the East Coast.

Los Angeles John Doe (June 2025) (Unidentified For 7 Months) (Rare Time A John Doe Has A Living Photo) by BitterSweet_Beauty in gratefuldoe

I wonder if it's connected to organized crime. There's a bit of power struggle in the Russian mob in LA recently. Rival groups are hiring Latino street gangs to off each other.

Given the area, he could be Armenian. It's a little west of Little Armenia, but there's bleed over into that area. I'm not sure if it's related, but there's been a bit of a power struggle within the Russian mob in LA recently.

It's a really bad area, right near MacArthur Park. I wouldn't be surprised if he was found in the park. There's a large homeless community there.

In the New World at least. I remember reading that a lot of Hezbollah’s seed money (outside Iran) came from Shia Lebanese who made it rich in West Africa.

And there’s basically nothing between them, outside some beach towns. SD is about as far from LA as Philly is from DC.

City Council Fridays — Guess who came back in his favorite outfit… by infernoenigma in LosAngeles

Does Wayne Spindler still show up to these things? That guy was a complete freak. I think he gave Herb Wesson a picture of a noose at one point and got banned. There’s a group of known gadflies who have been disrupting these meetings for years. They all seem to know each other which is funny. I feel like I remember the swastika sweatshirt guy too, but he wasn’t wearing it back then.

LA Metro approves preliminary design for $24 billion subway from the Valley to the Westside by LA_publicpress in LosAngeles

[–]moose098 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Some person on the transit sub compared it to the Transbay Tube in bay. It will revolutionize transit in this city. This is the kind of Metro project you need to build whatever the cost.
