Seems like the kind of thing federal agents could handle if they weren’t busy tracking down America’s most wanted DoorDash delivery drivers in DC.
SCOOP
I spoke to the leader of the 764-linked swatting group that is behind the recent spare of hoax active shooter calls at university campuses across the US.
He claims to have earned $100,000 in the space of just six days

This Is the Group That's Been Swatting US Universities
WIRED spoke to a self-proclaimed leader of an online group called Purgatory, which charged as little as $20 to call in fake threats against schools.

A Universal Basic Income that help the poor and generate economic growth from the ground up? We’ve no way of knowing that’ll work! Better we invest in artificial intelligence that is currently consuming all our power to create a John Cena lookalike that tells pornographic stories to children.

Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low but crime at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is at an all-time high.

Pre-Nazi Twitter was the best.
I quit Twitter before it was cool. I walked away from 3.2M followers, and absolutely nothing changed in my life, other than fewer garbage people disrupting my peace.
There was little value then, and there is even less, now. Staying on Twitter is a moral and ethical failing, disguised as business.

The slickest, most cynical trick in this GOP bill is time-delaying the Medicaid/SNAP cuts to January 2027, so when they hit Dems may well hold the House and it will be easy for Republicans to blame them. And with no cuts for the next 18 months, people will forget what happened today.

legitimately very funny that in a world where a reality tv host became president, left office, faced numerous criminal charges, and then became president again you will get people saying things like "a Muslim mayor of New York feels like something out of a postapocalypse film"

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.
