6·1 day agoI thought it might be possible that he thought they were staged, but it sounds like the practice is well known and you know what you’re paying for.
Posing as a consumer, I paid to access one of the livestreaming websites promoted by him - for a monthly fee of 450 Yuan ($65, £47).
Once logged in, I had the option to choose between five different filming feeds, each showing several hotel rooms - visible as soon as a guest triggered the electricity supply by inserting their key card. It was also possible to rewind livestreams from the start, and download archived clips.
2·3 days agoRightwingers keep trying to make Cali look like a crime ridden cesspool and Texas the peak of law and order, but crime statics between the two are marginal. They tend to shutdown whenever I cite sources on that.

Oh I have been and people aren’t happy with me. I’ve also been calling Hispanic ICE agents modern day Verband nationaldeutscher Juden whenever someone tries telling me that ICE is a diverse org and the protesters are all whities.

The irl villains we’re dealing with took inspiration from Bond… or vise versa.
