Prigozhin is wanted by the FBI here in the states for helping trump get elected in 2016. Mueller indicted him. The republicans wish you didn’t know that. They want you to believe Russian conspiracy to install their shill is a hoax. Russia installed Trump with the help of stupid, hateful Americans.
Just a reminder re. Prigozhin and the Internet Research Agency troll farms:
“I was never just a financier of the Internet Research Agency. I invented it, I created it, I ran it for a long time.”
Invention idea for an anti-paparazzi jacket that is covered in QR codes so that, whenever anybody tries to photograph you, it keeps trying to pull up the Applebee's menu.

Doing this with checks is a crime called check kiting. This allows the recipient to make use of the time-value of money for free, without paying interest. But it's legal in this setting simply because there's no law against it.
Hello #Mastodon! This is my very first post. I'm still a little confused on how this all works, but as Reddit continues to destroy itself I'm finding a new home 🏡
I love it. Russia's prospects just got worse thanks to a Pentagon accounting error that results in a $6 billion defense boost for Ukraine.

I though I’d learn #Morse code and #AVR programming at the same time. I started with an ATmega48P gating a 555 generating a tone. But that’s boring. So, I extended my code to generate #MIDI messages toggling D#6 on and off. #hamradio #electronics (This was originally posted July 24, 2022 on my now-defunct twitter account.)
The USSR sprinkled more than 2,500 RTGs (small highly-radioactive generators) across the Arctic and in remote mountain locations. They are unsupervised and unmaintained, stolen and scrapped by metal dealers who sometimes die of radiation poisoning.

This is the exposé I wrote for The Guardian that killed off “Reverend” Pat Robertson’s billion-dollar financial scams parading under the banner of The Christian Coalition.
Note: The juiciest parts I got from Robertson himself, recorded on a miniature tape recorder hidden inside a fake cigarette lighter. No one asked why I had a lighter — but no cigarettes. The story won The Guardian a nomination for Britain’s Business Story of the Year.
