[IsraelTimes] A 20-year-old Michigan man who admitted using social media to make violent mostly peaceful threats against Jewish people is sentenced to a year and a day in prison, far short of what prosecutors had recommended.
A sentence exceeding a year makes someone eligible for good conduct credits and a shorter stay in federal custody.
Seann Pietila, who has been locked up since June, was accused of using Instagram to spread neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... ideology, discuss plans to kill people and praise mass shooters.
Pietila admitted that he told someone last summer about a plan to kill or injure Jewish people and wanted to post the attack online. The FBI said Pietila also had written the name of the Shaarey Zedek congregation in East Lansing, near Michigan State University, on his phone along with a 2024 date.
"He never sent the note to anyone or posted it in a public forum," defense attorney Scott Tilton said.
Pietila moved to the Lansing area from the Upper Peninsula when he was 16 years old. Tilton said he’s had cognitive issues
"Mr. Pietila understands that his words have meaning, his messages were harmful, and that there are consequences for his actions," Tilton said in a court filing.
Prosecutors had sought a prison sentence of nearly three years. But US District Judge Robert Jonker settles on 366 days, along with $10,648 in restitution to the synagogue for security. Pietila will get credit for nearly nine months already spent in jail.

An academic, one member of that class of mostly leftist elites in America’s universities who are more than happy to tell others what to think and how to live, now claims it is rural white people who are the real threat to the nation.
The details of the rant from Tom Schaller, who works at the University of Maryland, was documented at Trending Politics.

Many participate in private land ownership and small businesses. Others attend religious gatherings. Some are even distrustful of centralized governments. Many others do not accept global warming.
It seems US College Educators are White-phobic, Moral-Phobic Racists. That don't mind raking in tons of White $$$$$$$$$$$$ writing books and spewing rants to promote their sale.

Number of (urban) academics in America vs number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" are ahead on that.
The amount of food, energy, and transportation generationed by (urban) academics vs number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" are ahead on that one.
Number of (urban) academics that have combat experience vs the number of rural (non-urban) white Americans. I think the "Rurales" win on that one.
My money is on the non-urban population in the coming fight.

Someone forgot when those squirrely European types and their descendants decide to start a fray, they wind up called World Wars. All you pointy headed Urban types really want to play on that level? Take a look at what we do to cities when it's time to get rough.....Dresden ring a bell?

Let's see if the cadres pick up on the messaging.

Nothing beats the Mongolian approach. Visualize Baghdad in ruins with nearby mountains of severed human heads rotting away for months or years on end. The smell alone would have been enough to gag maggots. The optics of bombing aftermaths are nothing like that.

The city dewellers might want to remember their electrical power is generated in and flows thru rural areas. Their Gas and food comes from or thru rural areas. Without the rurals they'd freeze, burn and starve.

Whatever truth there may or may not be in timmy's stereotype troping, put 'Academics' in that list and it leads by a country mile, over all others combined.

Condos are getting difficult to insure in a state where insurance is already expensive and hard to get. Even rich people have problems with 1200% increases in assessments to cover insurance.

[IsraelTimes] Users of Meta’s Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Messenger platforms are experiencing login issues in what appears to be a widespread outage.
Internet traffic observer Down Detector is reporting vast outages on several Meta platforms Tuesday. The problems are being reported across the world, suggesting that the outage could be global.
London-based internet monitoring firm Netblocks says on X that four Meta platforms — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — were "currently experiencing outages related to login sessions in multiple countries." But the firm, which advocates for internet freedom, said there was no sign of "country-level internet disruptions or filtering," which are typically imposed by governments.
Andy Stone, Meta’s head of communications, acknowledges the issues on X, formerly known as Twitter, and says the company is "working on this now."

Yesterday a hacking attempt occurred when I got on Facebook. I was to contact site to correct the problem. They said do not attempt to shut down, so I did. All is fine. Haven't been on today. Perhaps later.

Not that I care about Meta's problems but it would be interesting, simply from a technical standpoint, to know the cause and what they're doing about it.
