Stokes’ obsessive archiving serves as a vital safeguard against the corporate erasure of our collective memory. It proves that preserving raw, unedited data is the most radical act of resistance against historical revisionism.

The Mystery DeepensAdded:
We have a bystander wounded in shooting at near the White House is in stable condition. So that's good. That's great.
Metropolitan Police Department is investigating to determine who shot the bystander, who underwent surgery, and how many bullets were fired. The bystander who was struck when Secret Service agents exchanged fire with a gunman near the White House grounds is in stable condition on Sunday. According to law enforcement officials, as the police in Washington continued to investigate the attack, the gunman, Nasire Best, 21, of Dundalk, Maryland, approached the northwest corner of the White House complex a little after 6 p.m. on Saturday, officials said. Can I just point out Can I just point out all of these people who have been attacking the feds recently are very strangely named. We had Alex Pretty, we had I forget her first name, Good. And now we have Nsiah best. So they're they're pretty good best. That's kind of strange. How come everyone with like really nice happy last name seems to be attacking our like the feds? Like why is this happening?
>> Good question.
>> Why is it always a bystander? Not a straight stander or a gayander? That's a great question. It's proof that Hideio Kojima is writing 2026. I just like I was like, "What the [ __ ] is that name, dude?" Irony maybe. I don't know. God clearly has a sense of humor. Maybe having happy names makes them angry people. So you need you need to find like the people with the really heinous last names like martyr and rape and they'll be like giving billions of dollars to charity. I don't know. Mr. Best took a gun from his bag and began shooting towards a Secret Service checkpoint. According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department, Secret Service agents returned fire, killing him. An adult male bystander who has not been publicly identified by law enforcement was struck amid a hail of gunfire and was taken by emergency medical workers to a hospital. He underwent surgery and was in stable condition according to Secret Service and Metropolitan Police. The police are investigating to determine who shot the bystander. Investigators will also piece together a more complete picture of the shooting, including how many shots were fired and whether the Secret Service was justified in its use of force.
>> What?
>> Yeah. I don't know. I feel like if you are dumb enough to pull out a firearm in front of Secret Service agents who are guarding the White House, uh, you kind of deserve to get ventilated at that point, like I what do you what do you mean by this? Once the investigation is complete, the US Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia will independently review the facts and evidence in this case. No Secret Service agents were harmed, according to the agency. Television reporters were taping news segments on the north lawn of the White House before the attack and their audio captured what sounded like dozens of shots fired by Mr. Best and the Secret Service. Mr. Best has been on law enforcement's radar for nearly a year.
We learned we learned that he was on their radar yesterday, but it's just like it's all so [ __ ] tiresome.
Secret Service had flagged him for walking around the White House complex inquiring how to gain access at various entry points. According to an affidavit filed in DC Superior Court. How do I sneak into the White House asking for a friend? Yeah, that's like that's like some real [ __ ] [ __ ] right there. In June, Mr. Best blocked a vehicle from entering the east side of the White House, the affidavit said and he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful entry. He told officers that he was Jesus Christ and that he wanted to get arrested according to the affidavit.
Have we reached the level of clown world where some people are like, uh, you know, it's too much effort to like actually try and live in society, so I just want to get arrested and get my three meals a day, buddy. Like, have we have we finally have we finally hit that point? In July, he entered a restricted area of the White House grounds after ignoring signs and commands to stop.
After his arrest, a judge scheduled an August hearing and issued a stayaway order to keep him from the area around the White House. When Mr. Best did not show up to the hearing. The judge issued a bench warrant authorizing his arrest.
Mr. Best lived just outside of Baltimore, Maryland, but the warranty, sorry, warranty. The warrant only allowed officers to arrest him within the District of Columbia. It is not clear whether Mr. Best entered the district between August and the shooting on Saturday. I feel like that's a little silly. Maybe. I don't know.
A Georgia handyman swapped his car for a pink Barbie toy car to beat rising gas prices. Molly High Totower pulled a broken Power Wheels dream camper out of the trash and installed a small gas engine from a power washer to give him an alternative to speed around town in instead of his usual mode of transportation. His 1996 Mercedes-Benz convertible typically cost about $90 to fill. The tiny pink vehicle tops out around 35 mph and is now turning heads everywhere he goes as Americans search for cheaper ways to get around. This man This man built himself a Bobby Dreamhouse golf cart. That's [ __ ] great. I love this. Holy [ __ ] >> Hold on. It's It's super low. And there's there's something he says towards towards the end. Oh god, I love this guy.
>> Gas is getting too high, so I got to do what I can. I can't do the uh my regular cars. I got to do my little mini cars.
So, if I can get $1 ON >> Thank you, sir. Thank you.
gas and oil.
I love this so much. Holy [ __ ] A whole a whole dollar. That's what gas station be like, what a a Are you sure?
A dollar? Did you mean 10?
Pulls up in Barbie dream car. Hello Fox.
New time for our date. Well, there's room for a passenger in the back. You need to hear this Carllet honking. Yes, I want to hear his horn, man.
Need to look up a grind hard plumbing.
They have death trap, Barbie, and Hot Wheels cars powered by motorcycle engines. They built everything themselves. It's epic. That does sound really [ __ ] fun.
Uh there was a woman who recorded over 300,000 hours of TV over 35 years because she was scared people would try and rewrite history. The woman was Marian Stokes, a librarian and activist who used her early Appletock wealth to run VCRs 24/7. From 1979 until her death in 2012, she amassed 71,000 tapes to stop networks from altering the past.
Today, the Internet Archive is digitizing it all.
Bless this [ __ ] woman cuz she was completely correct. She was she was completely correct. And it's like that's the technology she had to work with back in the day, right? And nowadays we can see history being rewritten before our very eyes. We can see them trying to rewrite Stonewall. That's that's already begun happening. We've seen them try to rewrite things with like uh Kyle Writtenhouse and George Floyd as well.
They they just repeat lies enough times and hope people believe it. So this this is an amazing thing to see. I [ __ ] love autistic archivers, man. The jam and thank you. The internet archive is compromised, unfortunately. Yeah, I don't exactly like uh trust the internet archive. But if if they're going to accurately place all of her tapes online, that would be great.
It would be horrible if we find out like 30 years from now that they removed some of the tapes because they are ideologically captured. This is the website and I think the website looks pretty [ __ ] cool. Recorder the Marian Stokes Project. I just I was kind of like I don't know maybe maybe for next New Year's I'll bring this up and we'll like play some [ __ ] old ass television because I think that would be pretty [ __ ] cool. And they have a a little trailer for the project.
>> The US embassy in >> where you going to 100 years old.
>> My mother started taping at the birth of the 24-hour news cycle.
>> She was saying, "Well, we got to get this. Nobody else is going to keep this.
She hit record and she never stopped.
>> She was very mysterious and very private.
>> She lived in the richest part of the city.
>> She had nine homes hacked to the gills.
>> She was a hoarder. She hoarded everything.
>> Who decided, >> but not a bad hoarder. Not a bad hoarder if she's archiving videos. Oh, nice pictures on the wall.
>> That's what's normal. I think maybe a re-examination of what is normal is is in order at this point.
>> That is a beautiful [ __ ] outfit.
That's so [ __ ] pretty, man. Why can't we dress like this anymore? If you dress like this now in public, people will look at you like you're some [ __ ] spectacle. This is This is just nice, man. Yeah, she dripped out. He's dripped out, but she's hella dripped out.
>> My mother was enormously controlling. It was a long point of contention between her and me about my boringly conventional intellect compared to her.
No, she was definitely spied on by the FBI.
>> You don't want me in there. You make it work. You have kept me out of your institution.
>> Is this black man wearing a yamaka?
I was just I was just like zoning out for a second and then I was like, wait a minute.
>> Child, I don't think a lot of people the real Marian Taping these programs for my mother was a form of activism. She wanted people to be able to seek the real truth.
>> You need to deal with people.
>> I [ __ ] love this lady.
>> A different reality than yours.
>> She was obsessed with how media reflects a society back to itself.
>> Those in power are able to write their own history.
>> A lot of craziness produces a lot of brilliance. And I think there's something kind of brilliant about what Marian Stokes did.
>> Hard agree. Hard agree. And this is this is like we talk about archiving things online as well because it's like people are going to delete it but the internet should be forever. She's documenting things that would be like in and out of the public consciousness in the blink of an eye. Things things that were we even told the real story about some of these things ourselves. We can we can probably watch certain events through her project if the people putting them up aren't going to have an ideological slant and try to hide things. This lady's [ __ ] awesome. Why have you not heard about her until now? That's a good question.
I've also not heard about her until now.
Marian Stokes was secretly recording television 24 hours a day for 30 years.
Started in 1979 with the Iranian hostage crisis at the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle. It ended on December 14th, 2012 while the Sandy Hook massacred played on television as Marian passed away. In between, Marian recorded on 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, lies, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows, and commercials that tell us who we are or who we were, and show how television shaped the world of today.
Before fake news, Marian was fighting to protect the truth by archiving everything that was said and shown on television. The public didn't know it, but the networks were disposing their archives for decades into the trash can of history. Remarkably, Marian saved it, and now the internet archive will digitize her tapes and will be able to search them online for free. This is a mystery in the form of a time capsule.
It's about a radical communist activist.
Oh. Who became a fabulously wealthy recluse activist. Her work was crazy, but it was also genius. And she would pay a profound price for dedicating her life to this visionary and maddening project.
Huh. So, I guess I guess we can point to at least one good thing that has come from a communist besides killing other communists. Obviously, Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI. Gabbard is resigning as President Trump's director of national intelligence to support her husband through his battle with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. Her last day is June 30th and Trump has been informed. Tulsi Gabbard's official announcement saying, "I'm deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and the opportunity to lead ODNI gov for the last year and a half.
Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation effective June 30th, 2026.
My husband Abraham has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle. And part of her announcement is, "I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation effective June 30th, 2026.
My husband Abraham, we read that part.
Abraham has been my rock throughout our 11 years of marriage, standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a joint special operations mission, multiple political campaigns, and now my service in this role. His strength and love have sustained me through every challenge. I cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position. That is that is actual love in my opinion. Uh, it's just like when you when you take your time to focus on your family member and thankfully they probably have the actual financial resources to do that. It's like imagine if she was in the position of the majority of other Americans. Like she wouldn't be able to quit her job to do this.
It's a real woman willing to sacrifice a position that important to take care of a loved one. Yeah, absolutely. The uh the chainsaw the chainsaw guy that I bought my my dad's birthday gift from, he also said that like he he isn't, you know, doing a real job at the moment.
He's making money off of these statues cuz he's taking care of his mother-in-law. And I was like, that's so [ __ ] sweet, dude. Holy [ __ ] While we have made significant progress at the ODNI, advancing unprecedented transparency and restoring integrity to the intelligence community. Good luck with that one. I recognize there is still important work to be done. I'm fully committed to ensuring a smooth and thorough transition over the coming weeks so that you and your team experience no disruption in leadership or momentum. Thank you for your understanding during this deeply personal and difficult time for our family. I will remain forever grateful to you and the American people for the profound honor of serving our nation as DNI. Let's look at this and compare it to that other lady that was forced out and her husband was like some weird autogophiliac.
Yeah, Christy Gnome. That's who it was.
That was her husband. I can't remember her name for some [ __ ] reason.
Uh this was in my browser July 31st, 2025. Tulsi Gabbard confirms Operation Mockingbird is still going on inside the CIA and she is actively trying to shut it down.
>> The media being used as a propaganda mechanism. We saw it flatly. I mean it I think it's the smoking gun quite frankly of the Obamagate narrative and the Russia gate narrative that it was so baked in that the New York Times and Washington Post went and ran with it.
Some would say that that's part of operation mockingb bird. Some would say that that's part of what we learned in the church committee that the intel agencies were using media outlets as their mouthpieces and that those mouthpieces uh would parrot the official narrative. And I wanted to ask you uh is this operation still going on? Are you aware of the intel agencies working directly with media outlets in order to push uh prescribed narratives that may or may not be true? It's it's something that we've already had to deal with, Benny, within this administration where there are people within the intelligence community who believe that their will is more important than the will of the American people uh and will weaponize intelligence by leaking it to their friends within the mainstream media with the intent of undermining President Trump's agenda. It is not one that uh uh he hasn't already talked about in every rally and town hall that he >> Why aren't these people being tried for treason?
They are they are actively working against the will of the American people in order to push their own personal agenda which I mean based on everything we know is probably some commie [ __ ] did throughout the campaign. I don't even know how many there were. But President Trump is enacting the very thing he promised the American people he would do in this election. So, people in the intelligence community, they may agree, they may disagree. That's not uh that's not the point here. as intelligence professionals uh as people who work in the national security space uh in the intelligence community, they are required to fulfill their mandate to their oath to the constitution of the United States uh and to the president of the United States who is duly elected by the American people. uh those who leak intelligence to their friends in the mainstream media with the intent of undermining the president who was elected by the American people. None of these intelligence professionals were they are subverting the will of the people and therefore undermining the constitution.
>> It's wild that you're still having to deal with that. Call it what you will, but Operation Mockingbird just incredible that they they were just out with it that they were using the media as government organs to push propaganda and it's still still happening to >> still going on and people will call you a conspiracy theorist or a racist bigot if you point it out.
>> This is why what we're doing is so important, Benny. And this is why President Trump's uh mandate in this is is really critical is uh by exposing the truth by exposing the bad actors uh within the intelligence community and in the political space who are weaponizing intelligence to advance their own political interests is so important. Uh to be able to turn the light on in places that have been dark for far too long, expose the truth and drive accountability. That's the only way that we can actually shift this uh and begin the work to try to restore trust uh in the intelligence community.
>> I don't think there's going to be any way to do that. I'm going to be real honest with you. Un unless unless a lot of uh glowy [ __ ] starts happening. MK Ultra type mood. The conspiracy theory is just a grand narrative with the serial numbers filed off. But I was I was stunned. I was stunned that I had this tab and I just I was like, "Holy [ __ ] that's crazy."
CEO says he fired entire HR team for creating problems that didn't exist. How much money do you think companies would save if everyone fired their HR? Ryan Brezlo of Bolt addressed his unorthodox move during a conference in Atlanta. I have never heard of Ryan Brezlo or Bolt.
I have no idea what that is. The CEO of a fintech company defended the dismissal of its human resources team claiming those employees were responsible for issues that later went away following their departures. We had an HR team and that HR team was creating problems that didn't exist. Ryan Brezlo, the head of Bolt, said at Fortune's Workforce Innovation Summit in Atlanta on Tuesday, May 19th, the magazine reported. These problems disappeared when I let them go.
When I read something like that, it makes me it makes me think of that ancient article where a lady was like, "I wanted to work in an environment free of men, and so I started a pocketbook company and only hired women. Here's why you should never [ __ ] do that."
Brelo, who co-founded Bolt in 2014, said that the move, which was part of a 30% reduction of its workforce in April, was to help revive his struggling company.
Going forward, Bolt will be operating as a much leaner organization and leveraging AI at our core. Brelo told his employees about the job cuts at the time. Payment Dive reported. Bolt, whose valuation was worth 11 billion in 2022, had seen a dramatic decline in its fortunes. Fortune reported in 2024 that the valuation dropped to about 300 million. Oh, that is 11 billion to down to 300 million in 2 years. What the [ __ ] That same year, Brezlo stepped down as Bolt CEO, but then returned in 2025. We're back in startup mode again, and those HR professionals have really important insights when you're in a peace time and when you're at a larger company. Brelo 31 stated at Tuesday's summit according to the magazine. I disagree. I do not think that HR professionals have important insights when you're in peace time because they're the people who are going to try and keep you blind from when the wartime activates again. These these are just useless busy bodies who don't really need to be there at all. Especially because HR is not there for you, the employee. They are there to protect the company. and thus if you have an issue you will typically get railroaded by HR.
He also said the company now has a reduced people operations team for training and to function as an employee resource. We need a group of people who are very oriented around getting things done and there's just a culture of not getting things done and complaining a lot. Brezlo said at the event instead the CEO argued that his employees had grown complacent while Bolt was thriving. There's a sense of entitlement that had festered across the company and people who felt empowered felt entitled but weren't actually working hard and this is the number one thing that I had to battle. He said ultimately most of those people just had to be let go. And this also makes sense, right? Like all the people who are like, "Yes, I work at Microsoft and they do literally nothing but like do yoga, nap, and eat yogurt all day." Like, "No, you don't work at Microsoft. You are essentially a child in daycare at Microsoft being paid so that you don't destroy things elsewhere." Brelo added that the change in strategy following his return to the company last year has worked. The company has streamlined itself to about a 100 employees. We have a team a quarter of the size who are much more junior, who work a lot harder, and who have better energy. And this is also something to be said, right? When you're in a team of people at a work environment and all of those people are pulling their weight and actively, you can see how things work when these people contribute to projects versus when you have a bunch of useless dead weight that are just there to be complaining busy bodies. You're like, "Why am I putting in all of this work for this project and getting paid the same amount as this dumb [ __ ] who does nothing but complain about microaggressions?
It's it's going to hurt the morale and the efficiency of everyone else." Brelo said during the appearance, "And our customers are telling us, "We haven't had this type of attention in 4 years."
That also would not surprise me. When some companies get really huge, they hire the people who then have the entitled attitude of, "Yes, I'm working for big company. I'm more important and smarter than you, little plebeian. And so they just have really shitty customer service. Whether it's because they're contacting someone who has this entitled attitude, or they're contacting someone who's been outsourced to like India and they can't even understand the person that they're talking to. Founded 12 years ago with a mission to democratize commerce, democratize commerce. I don't know why I [ __ ] that up. Bolt developed a super app that enables users to send and receive money, earn awards, and buy and sell cryptocurrency. People contacted Bolt on Wednesday, May 20th, but did not receive immediate comment.
Hopefully hopefully we'll see more companies firing some of their dead weight babysitter positions. That'd be great.
A white liberal Black Lives Matter activist gets brutally murdered by the very same people she was a diehard activist for. How tragic that her own white guilt and suicidal empathy was the catalyst of her demise. I mean, we all know we don't really like the suicidal empathy term because it's not empathy.
It's just being [ __ ] crazy. But I wanted to bring up this tweet first because this was where I first saw this.
And as you can see, the video is no longer here. And it says, "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner." Okay.
Well, since this woman is dead, who the [ __ ] is the copyright owner, and why the [ __ ] would they copyright claim this?
Thankfully, I found another tweet with the same video that got copyright struck on this other tweet. So, this is the exact same video that we're going to watch that got copyright struck for some reason. Uh, Pava Leair, a social justice warrior and woke CEO who ran Ecom, a company that stands against systemic racism, bigotry, and a police state that criminalizes black bodies. She was beaten to death by a with a brick by Jason Billingsley, a career criminal and a registered sex offender. Billingsley got early release so that the system wouldn't look more racist. days before he'd raped and nearly killed another woman. Her ideology shielded her killer.
Virtue signaling killed her. Feelings over safety Pava paid with her life.
And it's very unfortunate that this woman had to lose her life, but it is her ideology and her policies that allow criminals back out on the street. She is the racist and she is the problem leading to more crimes and more innocent people being raped and being murdered and being stolen from. Again, it's unfortunate that loss of life has had to happen. But she her policies ushered this in and at least it wasn't an innocent person this time.
>> 40 seconds after she walks in, a man jogs up to the door. The young woman you're watching is walking back to her own apartment building. It's just after 10:30 at night. She's coming home from a festival downtown. She's smiling. She's relaxed. Watch her glance behind her.
She doesn't know she was followed. 40 seconds after she walks in, a man jogs up to the door. He looks through the glass. He sees her on the couch inside.
He waves to get her attention. They talk for less than a minute. Then she opens the door and lets him in.
>> Brother, like I don't care like what color your skin is. If you come up to my door in the middle of the night, I ain't letting you in, bro. What the [ __ ] are we doing?
>> She would never come out alive. Her name is Pablo La Pair. She's 26 years old.
>> You see, I had my life entirely mapped out. And this this is the woman who is now dead. This is her speaking out a blueprint for how I was going to make a change in the world.
>> There's a a dead body on on the rooftop of 306 West Franklin.
>> Tell me exactly what happened, Kevin.
>> We we filed a missing person report for our my my friend and boss this morning and we just checked the rooftop of the building.
I'm looking at her.
>> Okay. Is she awake?
>> Is she No. Is she breathing?
>> I No.
>> Please tell me why does it look like she's dead?
>> She I I don't want to get too She's >> You got to get closer, Kevin. Why does it look like she's dead?
>> Maybe I just haven't had to call 911 to report a dead body yet. I mean, I haven't, but that seems like a really weird line of questioning to Like if you if you as a 911 dispatcher get a call where someone's like, "I'm really distressed and I think my friend and boss is dead. Uh they're not moving.
They're not breathing." I I don't know.
It feels a little weird to be like, "Can you get closer and see why they're dead?" I don't Do they need to know that immediately? I just I don't know. That just that seems that seems a little weird to me. Why are 911 people like this? Just send the [ __ ] cop. That's what I'm just [ __ ] send, man. Like what the [ __ ] her?
>> Come on, Cavie. You got this.
>> She Her face is she looks like she's been dead for a couple of days and she's she's partly naked.
>> Oh, so it was a twofer. It was a rape and then a murder. This this never should have happened. This woman should still be alive if she hadn't been advocating for getting criminals out of prison. Like, this is [ __ ] insane, dude.
>> I think she wasing killed.
>> I'm sending you help, Kevin.
>> Thank you.
>> All right. Thank you.
>> Are you okay?
>> I'm okay.
>> All right.
>> Okay. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Were you at >> And this is this is uh the police interviewing the murderer at >> 306.
Um that is the address, right? Yeah. 306 >> 306 West Frank Street.
I'm not answering that.
>> You're not answering that. Okay.
>> So up that my my own sister like set me up though tonight. That's crazy.
That's crazy. Let me tell you what's crazy.
What's crazy is this young lady was a pillar in the community going into her apartment trying to make her life better and the lives better for everybody around her.
She fought for Black Lives Matter. She fought for police and justice, right? She fought for all of that. She was an advocate for all of that. And the very thing and the very people she fought for, she died at the hands of this guy right here.
She died at the hands of this guy here.
The guy that she with.
>> Even the interrogation is cringe. No, the guy's making the exact same point I just did. He's He's making the exact same point. He's like, she advocated for all these policies, for all these things, and you are one of the people that she advocated for, and then you killed her. advocate for the guy. So that's what's up. Ecomat technology stands against systemic racism, bigotry in a police state that criminalizes black bodies.
I don't like the statement a police state that criminalizes black bodies because like you're not criminalized just for existing while black.
You catch criminal charges when you do criminal things. Like that's not they're not it's not just like someone's existing doing nothing standing there and someone comes along and they're like, "Well, you're black. Time to get arrested. Let's go." Like that's not what's happening here, man.
>> That's what she promote. That's what she was about.
That's why she trusted and wasn't biased and trusted that you >> So you're saying that if she had bias, she would still be alive today. Is that what you're saying?
That that's that's a weird way to phrase it, Mr. Police Interrogator. Man, that's her mistake. I was just like, that's [ __ ] wild. And it's additionally [ __ ] wild that some [ __ ] person is copyright claiming this video. Who would do that? This is like pertinent news information. What the [ __ ] is wrong with you?
Uh, Texas AG Ken Paxton just scored a huge win against Discord. A Texas judge ordered them to immediately stop the predator friendly default settings that funnel sickos toward kids and stop lying to parents that their platform is safe by design. Discord ignored warnings from the FTC, the Senate, and multiple AGs.
Today, they got forced to change. So, I remember scrolling through Discord and seeing all of the like >> spicy >> 13 plus daily services.
>> We even we even had one of them get taken down like while I was live on stream cuz holy [ __ ] that's [ __ ] up, dude. Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Discord for allowing child predators to groom and exploit kids while deceiving consumers, parents, and the public about the safety of its platform. In October 2025, Attorney General Paxton opened an investigation into Discord after it was reported that it was used by the assassin who murdered national hero Charlie Kirk, as well as reports that the platform is addictive and has exposed minors to sexual exploitation and extremist content. Discord has lied by claiming that safety was at the core of everything we do and fully integrated into our design process. This has been done while making deliberate product decisions that defaulted every account setting toward maximum exposure, staffed its most critical safety functions with unpaid volunteers, and built a platform architecture that federal prosecutors have described as a hunting ground to find, manipulate, and sex tort our most vulnerable. Yeah. Yeah. We all knew that like the Discord owners were a bunch of degenerate furries, but like it's kind of wild. It's kind of wild that everybody thinks that they can say like, "Yes, we we care about user safety," but then they never actually really do anything unless it's specifically in order to harm people, like requiring IDs. Consequences of Discord's design choices include a case in which a 13-year-old Texas girl was sexually assaulted in her home by a predator who groomed her on Discord over several years. Additionally, a 15-year-old boy was coerced into producing explicit material through Discord's messaging system and later died by suicide.
Another example includes a 13-year-old who died by suicide after being targeted by the 764 extremist network which open which operated openly on Discord servers. They also operate pretty openly on Twitter as far as I knew last, unless that's been cracked down on. Despite direct notice from multiple federal agencies and the OAG, Discord has not changed the design choices that make exploitation possible. Discord has allowed and invited all kinds of nihilistic violence and evil. My office is taking action to protect our nation's precious children from predators, said Attorney General Paxton. We live in a time where the dangers children face online have never been greater. And every parent in Texas deserves to know that their child is protected. Attorney General Paxton is seeking to require Discord to default all safety settings to maximum protection for new accounts.
Implement age verification pursuant to the Okay, I don't know if I like that part. Securing children online through Parental Empowerment Act. So, if they're implementing age verification, I'm not exactly sure what's in the scope act.
So, is this is this something that is going to require IDs for people or is this just like you you need to put like a are you 18 screen in there? Like I I would I very much would like to know exactly what this is going to be requiring for everyone. I don't care if like all default safety functions are set to maximum. As an adult, I can just change that. That's not a big deal. And just keep your kids off the internet if you had to guess. It's another pivot of trying to implement digital ID. Yeah, I was I was waiting to see cuz I was like, that's great that Discord is finally having someone come at them for enabling this kind of [ __ ] but what exactly is going to be done about it? It took it to the bottom of this to figure it out.
There's no way age verification currently is used as a standin for anything other than dystopian spying.
Probably. I mean, my my Discord server has been flagged as like a 18 plus server uh like by us on purpose because like I don't I don't want to have anybody come in that's not that.
Obviously, people can just lie about their age, but if like we sniff someone and they smell like they're not an adult, we've banned them. So, at this point, make it illegal for children to use the internet and punish parents for giving kids iPads. Forbidden cat belly. Thank you. It's always ID.
Yeah, I I am not I'm not sure what the Scope Act says. Let me let me look that up. The Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment Act, effective September 1st, 2024. The Scope Act requires digital service providers such as companies that own websites, apps, and software to protect minor children under 18 from harmful content and data collection practices. This new law will primarily apply to digital services that provide an online platform for social interaction between users that one allow users to create a public or semi-public profile to use the service and two allows users to create or post content that can be viewed by other users of the service. This includes digital services such as message boards, chat rooms, video channels or a main feed that presents users content created and posted by other users.
The overview is forformational purposes only and is not legal advice. Please consult your attorney if you have specific legal questions. Texas law prohibits the office of the attorney general from providing legal advice, opinions, or representation to private individuals.
A digital service provider must register the age of the person creating an account for a digital service and prevent the person from later altering their age.
A person is a minor if their registered age is younger than 18 years old or the minor's parent or guardian notifies the digital service provider of the minor's age or successfully disputes the registered age of the minor. Okay. All right. That see that seems pretty pretty normal cuz or the minor's parent or guardian notifies the digital service provider of the minor's age or disputes it. So that's like if the parents find out they lied about their age. Uh, a digital service provider must limit the collection and use of a minor's personally identifiable information and cannot share or sell that information.
Miners are prohibited from making purchases or conducting other financial transactions through the digital service. A digital service provider may not collect the minor's geoloccation data or display targeted advertising to the minor. I wish we could get this to extend to all of us. That would be great. That would be wonderful except for obviously the purchasing part. But I think this is also very nice to have if somebody actually has their correct minor age on an account because remember how many like [ __ ] people got [ __ ] because their kid got their credit card and then spent like $10,000 on Fortnite or something dumb. A duty to prevent harm. A digital service provider must also develop and implement a strategy to strategy to prevent the minor's exposure to harmful material and other content that promotes, glorifies or facilitates suicide, self harm, eating disorders, substance abuse, stalking, bullying, harassment, grooming, trafficking, child pornography, or other sexual exploitation or abuse. The provider will be required to apply filtering technology to monitor as well as regularly block harmful material and required to remain proactive in creating a database for this harmful language and material to stay on top of trends such as purposeful misspellings that attempt to evade the filtering technology. We know people are very inventive but I am I am wondering exactly like what is going to be done with this right. The provider will be required to apply filtering technology to monitor as well as regularly block harmful material. I remember trying to share screenshots with like a friend in the UK and they were like Azure Lane women and otherwise like not not super like super crazy sexual, right? I'm not I'm not posting like full-on nude pics here. and Discord was blocking this from happening because of a setting on by default for UK users that blocks that kind of content. I was like that that's really [ __ ] funny. What is going on in the UK? And also the uh [ __ ] creating a database for this harmful language and material. So, like what they they have child pornography as one of the things that the provider must be like tracking and blocking, but you can't possibly be saying that you want Discord to create a database of material that would include taking down child pornography, right? Like, there's no [ __ ] way that's what you mean here, right? that the only foreseeable way for parents uh to be persuaded to monitor their children's internet usage would be expanding the definition of neglect to include allowing children to be online unsupervised. Yeah, I think like as far as supervision goes, it's just like walk in all the time. You don't have to sit there and look over their shoulder the entire time they're on the computer, but they should know that they are in danger of you walking in and seeing what they're doing at any point in time during the day. Whether whether it be like 300 p.m. or 8:00 p.m. or 1:00 a.m.
if they're like an older teenager, right? Like you're you're just going to walk in, right? Knock on the door first, but you're like they're still in danger of you appearing.
>> I'm respecting your privacy by knocking, but asserting my authority as your FATHER BY COMING IN ANYWAY.
And then also check their internet history, right? Just do that and know if they're getting into anything [ __ ] crazy. Maybe check their Yeah, exactly.
Check their internet history, but you don't need to be like literally hovering over their shoulder the whole time.
There's been like a lot of chatter about like the Philly and ARG thing recently.
And there was the uh Philly and his lost account that's raided into stream here a couple of times. And they also spoke in my chat. And from looking around on Twitter, it seems like some other people had mentioned that that account talked in other people's chats. Like there was a screenshot of Pipa. Uh there was a screenshot of Remma. A couple of people mentioned like Chiochi and Matara Khan having that account talk in their chats.
And and so like it was like, is it is this real? My mods looked at the account and they were like, uh, we think that this is uh like a fan account. It doesn't it doesn't look like it's actually Fillian. It's pro probably just a fan account. But then it started typing in chats and it was just like blank chats and I was like that's kind of [ __ ] weird. And then on the Twitch account, it has like a green eye symbol that goes to a password protected like uh notepad but I forget I forget what they're called. Password protected online notepad thing. And then when you looked at the description of their channel, uh on Chrome it would just show you Chinese characters, but on Firefox it would show you some like Unicode blank characters. The past bin. Thank you chat. Thank you chat. And so I was like, "Okay, maybe maybe it's not a fan account." Like, "What the [ __ ] is going on?" I don't know anything about like what's going on with the ARG. I remember you guys mentioning to me and I was like, "I've heard there's an ARG, but like I don't know anything about it. Do we know it even came from her? Do we know it's like actually set up by her?"
Which apparently it was. And they had an ARG channel in Fian's Discord that got deleted recently. So like there's no way to talk about the ARG there anymore, I guess. And so I was like, "That's weird.
The ARG channel is missing. The account's been typing in people's chats.
Uh, the YouTube account has some text on it, and when translated, it's the name uh, Xin Jing, which is a famous Chinese transgender TV personality whose name also means Venus/G Golden Star. When looking at the YouTube account, the description has the blank uni code. I already said that. Maybe the password of the Notepad, Wattpad, whatever the [ __ ] I I'm never going to remember what the [ __ ] that thing is called. Maybe it has something to do with the the streamer streamers chats they're typing in. Who [ __ ] knows? I don't know. But I figured since the channel was taken down, I'll just throw out this information in in case this has anything to do with like the ARG that's going on.
Literally no [ __ ] idea. And then uh there's a Philly historian account. So [ __ ] huge props to this guy for actually coming in and saying something cuz nobody knows what the [ __ ] is going on. So he said that the person doing this is a known ARG hijacker named Paul Wolf. And apparently out of these accounts, one of them is uh 0x892A and that's the channel that he repurposed into the Philly is lost one.
They create YouTube channels with names related to the ARG in an attempt to confuse people. They also emailed some stuff to people they found in the ARG Google docs. And that's that's really [ __ ] unfortunate because it's like I I guess she set up this entire ARG thing to give her community something fun to do until she came back with her rebrand and now people are just like hijacking it. And since there's nobody that knows what's going on, there's no way to tell if there's been a hijacking or if this is just part of the ARG. So, like again, huge [ __ ] bless to this historian guy for coming in and saying something cuz like how how else are people going to [ __ ] know? And so, he's an [ __ ] that likes to ruin people's fun. The uh the Paul Wolf guy. Yeah, that's what it seems like. Unfortunately, that actually makes you so mad. Why would he hijack the ARGs? It's probably someone who gets a kick out of like confusing people and it's like their own entertainment to see people put time into like their puzzle [ __ ] instead of actually solving the thing that was set out to be solved. But it's like, how how would anybody know?
How are you supposed to know this [ __ ] man? You thought Fillian deleted everything because she's going corpo? I cannot see Fillian going corpo in any way, shape, or form. There is zero corpo that would have anything to benefit Fillian, and they would not be able to afford to buy her out. Why does some people think going corpo would benefit a big indie, specifically at this stage of VTubing? It doesn't make sense. For some reason, people think that the corpos are actually beneficial to the VTubers, whereas it's kind of the opposite. Like the corpo would not exist if it weren't for the talents being as good as they were, you know? Like, yeah, the corpo can help you get started, but if you're already established, you don't really need that. So, I I have no idea what the state of the current like actually setup ARG is, especially with that channel gone. I have literally no [ __ ] clue.
So, I don't I don't know if the ARG with her is still going. I I don't know if it's been solved. As far as I know, from what I read, when the channel was taken down, it was because of people trying to like hijack it in this manner or people getting like toxic in the channel. Not exactly sure. I don't know what's going on. It would It would be nice. It'd be nice to know. I would love to have Fillian back. I don't I don't know what's happening. Fillian was very clear that she was building a big thing in the background, would be gone for a while, and come back with a huge debut.
Everyone is skitsoing for no reason or pregnancy. Yeah, there's no reason to skitso that hard, man.
