Crypto is serious business, worth losing a finger
I was going to post this on holy shit but realize it's now a thing, at least in France. Attempted kidnap of a daughter of a crypto exec. Paris: Relatives of a Cryptocurrency Company Executive Escape Kidnapping in Broad Daylight On Tuesday morning, the daughter of a cryptocurrency executive was the target of a kidnapping attempt in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Three masked men tried to forcibly get her into a van. Relatives of a high-profile figure in the cryptocurrency world narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt this Tuesday morning in central Paris. Three men, whose faces were concealed, attempted—unsuccessfully—to force a mother into a van marked with the Chronopost logo. The incident occurred around 8:20 a.m. on Rue Pache. According to a police source, the 34-year-old victim was accompanied by her 2-year-old child. It remains unclear how the child was spared during the incident. The woman managed to escape thanks to the intervention of the child’s father. The man stepped in and was physically attacked by the kidnappers. The shocking scene unfolded in front of many bystanders, who were afraid to intervene despite the victim’s screams. One of the attackers apparently dropped a handgun—its authenticity remains unknown—before the group fled the scene in a panic, getting back into the van. The vehicle was later found abandoned on another street in the same arrondissement. According to our information, the woman is the daughter of the CEO of a cryptocurrency purchasing platform. The Paris public prosecutor’s office has assigned the case to the anti-gang unit (brigade de répression du banditisme) for further investigation. Just a month ago, the father of a crypto millionaire was kidnapped and lost a finger for the cause. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250504-kidnapped-dad-of-crypto-firm-boss-released-in-french-police-raid The father of a crypto-millionaire who was abducted in Paris on Thursday was freed by French police in a weekend raid, prosecutors said. The kidnappers chopped one of the father's fingers off, a source close to the investigation said, and had tried to force his son to pay a ransom of between five million and seven million euros.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
I got no clever comments for this. It's just fucking sad. Fuck these kids and fuck the parents. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/ross-road-thome-valley-drive-del-valle-homicide-arrests/269-0a9a5241-1067-4f20-905d-9d0e7821027b Two boys, ages 12 and 13, charged with capital murder after man shot, killed in Del Valle Anthony Salas was shot, hit with a vehicle and killed as he attempted to recover his family's stolen car near an intersection. According to the Austin Police Department (APD), a 911 call came in just before 3 a.m. from a family reporting their vehicle was stolen from their driveway in the Sun Chase Neighborhood. Around 3:21 a.m., another 911 call reported a person had been hit by a vehicle near the intersection of Ross Road and Thome Valley Drive, near Del Valle Elementary School. Investigators believe 20-year-old Anthony Salas was shot, hit with a vehicle and killed as he attempted to recover the stolen car near the intersection. Police said the people were seen on multiple cameras burglarizing multiple vehicles throughout South and East Austin on Friday night into Saturday morning.

ERCOT Urging For Energy Conservation
Can one of you energy guys explain the fuck behind this legislation? Cause on the surface, it looks like a play to protect the O&G fuckheads. https://thehill.com/policy/equilibrium-sustainability/5292792-texas-senate-bill-power-cost/ If passed by the House, state S.B. 715 would require all renewable projects — even existing ones — to buy backup power, largely from coal or gas plants. This would require solar plants in particular to buy backup power to “match their output at night — a time when no one expects them to produce energy and when demand is typically at its lowest anyway,” consultant and energy expert Doug Lewin wrote in an April analysis. The Texas Public Policy Foundation, a right-wing think tank that is one of the bill’s most prominent advocates, argues that it is necessary to make up for the “volatility” of wind and solar power. The state business lobby disagrees. A study by the Texas Association of Business (TAB) found that the legislation would cost the state $5.2 billion more per year — and cost individual consumers $225 more. In addition to more expensive power, the TAB study found, Texans would also get a higher risk of blackouts in the heat of summer or in future ice storms.

Trump’s America
Don't forget that his own fucking party has regularly voted against anything regulating or dropping drug prices. I can't wait for the fucking absolute shitstain Republicans continue to be hypocrites and their base to continue to be absolute fucking idiots.

So it drops to 30% or whatever fucking number. Now he's being lauded for partly dousing a raging fire that he delibertately set. His dipshit base will sing his praises for being the fireman but conveniently forget that he was the fucking arson.- Tariff wars, they have began
People have short memories. A "trade deal" was reached in his first tenure, which lead to.....wait for it....increased costs and prices and didn't do shit for manufacturing in the US. Trump is a rapist, felon, grifter fucking idiot who peddles his bullshit to his dipshit base who only know the lies they are feed in his bullshit tweets. America is fucking stupid. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/donald-trump-china-tariffs-trade-war-xi-jinping-video/- 2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
The only YT golf I watch is the NZ gang, Taco, Tooms, Sam, Dimache, and Luke Kwon. Everyone else sucks too much or takes themselves way too seriously (Grant is in the latter). It's YT golf. You can hit as many shots as you need to but only one ends up on film.- senseless gun violence
This is America. From the comments. “Sheriff Allen also told NewsNation Friday that his department has been called to the home more than 50 times. He also said he’s frustrated that the state keeps returning the kids to their mom. Their father is incarcerated. He said he is looking to charge their father with Bennie’s Law for not having his gun properly stored” Explains a lot. Also mentions that the father was who taught them how to use the gun, which the officers said the kids pulled the trigger during this incident but it “malfunctioned”.- What the fuck is wrong with you, Austin?
This is my main objection to this bullshit. It's NEVER GOING TO END. Homelessness is a national and state issue. There are so many better ways of spending $100M for tax paying citizens of Austin. As it is, it's just throwing money down the toilet cause it's not gonna fix shit. The more we spend, the more assholes come here to camp out in the woods. The more assholes that come here, the more we spend.- Flight disrupting assholes Thread of Shame.

https://archive.is/x0ylh They voted for Trump and now their son is in ICE detention Green card holder from Argentina held in South Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center. On a recent Sunday, El Refugio’s visitors included married couple Martin Verdi and Debora Rey, two Argentine Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status. Verdi and Rey drove nine hours from their home in North Carolina to see their son, Agustin Gentile, who is being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Stewart. They sat on El Refugio’s back porch while waiting for their visitation appointment. “But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally. “We feel betrayed, tricked.
