The whole thing of people's follower totals mysteriously dropping - no matter what side or political issue - always seemed silly or like fluff to me, but literally this... is real. I just tried and am in awe that Twitter just unfollows you from the account after you follow it. Try it for yourself. Click "Follow" and the refresh the page.

About this Study Within the world of 3D-printed guns, one pseudonymous figure has emerged as a symbol for the cause of universal access to firearms: “JStark1809”. He created the world’s most popular 3D-printed gun and established an influential network of 3D-printed gun designers. Since his death in July 2021, he has been memorialised as a martyr for the right to bear arms. Based on open sources, this report identifies “JStark1809” as Jacob Duygu, a German national born to Kurdish parents who arrived as refugees from Southeast Turkey in the 1990s. Using a combination of authorship attribution techniques, JStark can be identified as the author of over 700 seemingly “anonymous” comments on 4chan’s /pol/ board. He disclosed hitherto unknown details about his life, broader political views, and extremist attitudes. Designing a 3D-Printed Gun JStark’s choice to design a 3D-printed gun arose from frustration at not being able to own a gun on his terms in Germany. This morphed into a belief that owning firearms is a human right. JStark thus designed a 3D-printed gun with no regulated parts to ensure anyone worldwide could make it. The gun he designed, the FGC-9 (“**** Gun Control 9mm”), has been seen on five continents, in: Australia, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovakia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the United States. It has been seen in the hands of gun enthusiasts, organised criminals, paramilitaries, insurgents, and terrorists. He also created a network of 3D-printed gun designers and enthusiasts to create new designs, disseminate the digital blueprints online, and encourage their adoption. That network is known as Deterrence Dispensed and remains active even after JStark’s death. Political Views When speaking pseudonymously, JStark stated he was sharing 3D-printed gun designs to enable people to resist tyranny and defend against authoritarianism. He presented a universal message and spoke out against xenophobia and racism. Writing anonymously, however, JStark made numerous xenophobic, racist, and antisemitic comments over multiple years. He regularly used dehumanising slurs and racist tropes. On several occasions, JStark made anonymous threats of violence. These included threats to kill so-called “traitors” of Germany and threatened politicians, law enforcement, and left-wing individuals. He instigated online and lamented how a “right-wing” terrorist group had not emerged. Life as an Incel JStark’s “anonymous” comments reveal his life as an incel (involuntarily celibate). He felt his autism, height, looks, and ethnicity would shatter his chances of having a sexual or romantic relationship in Germany. In 2018, he travelled to the Philippines to escape his life as an incel. He regularly made misogynist comments. He sometimes revelled in female suffering and despaired at his lack of relative power. He varied between condoning incel-motivated violence and seeing it as inevitable. Shortly before his arrest in June 2021, he threatened violence: “I will literally kill , (sic) or kill myself soon if i can’t sleep in a bed with a girl again …”. In the final months of his life, JStark expressed profound suicidal ideation. Anonymously, he wrote of his loneliness and depression – which he attributed to his status as an incel – and shared detailed plans to commit suicide. His chosen method is relatively new; routine toxicological analysis may fail to detect it. It is possible that after his arrest in late June 2021, JStark decided to take his life.

Yousef Palani previously admitted murdering two men and wounding a third A 23-year-old man has been given two life sentences for murdering two men in Sligo, Ireland, last year. The court heard that Gardaí (police) believed Yousef Palani's motivation "was to carry out murder due to prejudice against homosexuality.” He pleaded guilty in July to the murders in Sligo of Aidan Moffitt on 10 April last year and Michael Snee two days later. He further admitted intentionally causing serious harm to Anthony Burke on 9 April. Mr Burke was stabbed in the eye. In his victim impact statement, Mr Burke called his attacker a “coward and a monster”. The court heard that one murder victim was decapitated with 43 stab wounds. The second man was stabbed 25 times mainly to his head, neck and chest. Palani told Gardai (police) after his arrest that he suffered with mental health issues, the court heard. He met his victims through a variety of social media messaging and gay dating apps. “It would have to be their own house, and they had to be alone, you can’t be hurting kids or women,” he told arresting officers. Mr Palani denied being in Anthony Burke’s house despite his semen from a previous consensual sexual encounter being found on a blanket there as well as evidence from seized phones that linked him to the victims. Forensic evidence linked blood found on shoes and tracksuit bottoms in Palani’s house to both murder victims. He told arresting officers: “I can get angry very quick” and denied he was gay, claiming homosexuality was “a sin, you wont find many Muslims gay and religious”. Police confirmed Palani had no previous convictions and a psychiatric report was not provided to Gardaí or the prosecution. He also told officers he would’ve continued to kill if Gardai hadn’t stopped him. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce7jpwrp6lzo

This is insane!! Just last night, it was forecast to be a tropical storm at maximum (65 mph winds). Now it is going to be a category 5 hurricane at landfall in a huge city (160 mph winds). Climate change has made these rapid intensification events more frequent. Very scary! I hope it moves a bit to the side of the city
