Most of you know me as VandyTracker. Funny thing is I made this account in 2022 while in the hospital actually to pass the time. We were in the NIT and Jerry Stackhouse was our HC. Life sometimes comes full circle.

My real name is Ricky. I have Cystic Fibrosis and just got diagnosed with CF related diabetes.

I have been in the hospital since July 17th with Pneumonia, Sepsis, and Salmonella. I lost my job due to this hospitalization. My medical bills are INSANE.

Honestly I feel gross asking for help. But a few of you recommended I make one of these so I’ll give it a shot. If you can’t donate a share helps more than you know too. Go Dores. ⚓️⬇️

Ukraine uses russia's own Air Defence...
...to shoot down an advanced russian jet fighter!!!

Ukrainian hackers and intelligence experts intercepted control parameters and altered operational data for the 'BARS Moscow' air defense system.

They then exploited severe software vulnerabilities to trick the Russian air defense crew - deployed to protect Moscow - into misidentifying their own high-tech fighter as a hostile threat, triggering the fatal launch.

This unprecedented operation resulted in the complete destruction of a russian Su-57 stealth fighter jet valued at over $100 million.

While the Russian Ministry of Defense publicly attributed the crash to a 'technical failure', Russian military channels and pro-war media quickly confirmed that the jet fell victim to friendly fire.

50 Years Ago Tonight
July 23, 1976

An epic storm ends the 42nd and final edition of the Chicago College All-Star Game — between the College All-Stars and the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh #Steelers.

With Pittsburgh ahead 24-0, officials permanently suspend the contest with 1:22 remaining in the third quarter due to the nasty conditions and subsequent fan pandemonium that ensues at Chicago's Soldier Field.

[The Beatles Legacy @TheBeatlesPMcC]

20 juillet 1968, Jane Asher annonce en direct sa rupture avec Paul McCartney.
Trois jours plus tôt, l'absence de Jane avait déjà été remarquée lors de la première du film Yellow Submarine. La légende raconte que Paul n'était pas informé qu'elle allait annoncer leur rupture. Il lui en voudra de l'avoir fait en public. Mais la légende et surtout les faits racontent aussi qu'il l'avait bien cherché...
Jane n'évoquera plus jamais sa relation avec le "cute Beatle". Elle aurait pu gagner des fortunes en vendant ses confidences. Mais elle ne trahira jamais ses principes et ses valeurs.
L'essentiel pour nous, c'est qu'elle ait inspiré autant de chansons écrites par Paul. C'est sans doute dans Revolver que l'on retrouve les deux plus belles. Ces deux chefs-d'œuvre résument bien leur histoire d'amour et peut-être même toutes les histoires d'amour.
"Here There And Everywhere", The Beatles, 1966.
"For No One", The Beatles, 1966.

And the fact that he still makes time to crash Jimmy Kimmel's show as part of their never-ending "feud" to promote The Odyssey just makes him even more lovable. God, I love this guy so much. It's even funnier when you remember how it all started. Kimmel's "Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time" was originally just a throwaway joke at the end of an episode. Damon saw it, loved it, encouraged Kimmel and the producers to keep it going, and it ended up becoming what might be the longest-running comedy bit in Hollywood.

I never, EVER want this running gag to end until Kimmel retires 😂

A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.

He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.

His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.

"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.

The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents were filmed assaulting, handcuffing, and kidnapping a U.S. citizen in Passaic, New Jersey… while refusing to even look at the ID he repeatedly begged them to check.

A man is pleading with federal agents to verify who he is…

And they refused.

Instead, one agent says, “We need to get him on the ground,” puts him in a chokehold, throws him to the ground, and multiple agents pile on top of him before handcuffing him, and throwing him into their vehicle.

Under the Fourth Amendment, the government cannot arrest, or seize someone, without probable cause that they have committed, are committing, or are about to commit an offense that authorizes the arrest.

U.S. citizens are also not required to carry identification unless they’re driving a motorized vehicle.

And if federal agents are refusing to verify someone’s identity before arresting them, then they are openly ignoring the constitution.

Which should terrify every American.

Because that means no one is safe from being kidnapped by the government… and disappeared.

Every agent involved should be publicly identified, and DHS should be forced to explain why they believed they had the legal authority to seize someone, while refusing to verify who he was.

This cannot become normal.

A woman had Netflix for 6 years.

She opened the app. She scrolled. She picked something after 25 minutes. She fell asleep during episode 2. She repeated this every night.

Her friend, a former Netflix UI engineer, sat on her couch one evening and opened Settings on her account. He changed 9 things in under 15 minutes.

Her homepage transformed overnight. The autoplay trailers stopped. The "continue watching" list cleaned itself up. The recommendations got sharper. The buffering on her 4K TV disappeared. The categories multiplied from 30 to 2,200.

She said "it feels like a completely different app."

He said "it is. You've been using the factory settings for 6 years. Netflix ships the version that keeps you scrolling longest, not the version that helps you find something fastest."

Here's every setting he changed 🧵

Well, I told you to watch the Florida proceedings about whether a “fraud on the court” was committed in the slush fund case, and we now have the federal judge’s decision, and it’s a doozy.

Here’s how she framed the question:

After Scott Pelley's firing, Trump accused him of not caring about the United States, called him "stupid and crooked."

Scott was asked to react to these remarks.

His response is what actual patriotism looks like.
