RJ Mitte reveals how he was financially exploited at just 17 while trying to protect his Breaking Bad earnings.

“I’ve paid more in taxes than I got from Breaking Bad. As a young kid, I had a big team, traveled the world, and spent money keeping my career going. Everything went back into the business.”

A bad business manager made things worse.

“During the last four years of my highest-earning series, I wanted to protect my money. I was 17 or 18, and everyone was telling me to get a proper accountant.”

Instead, he got scammed.

“Dude, I got eaten alive.”

He says the woman targeted 14 other actors, including people with disabilities and older performers.

“I’d write a check to pay my taxes, and instead of paying them, she’d send me a fake tax filing and keep the money.”

He still takes responsibility for what happened.

“At the end of the day, though, it was my negligence. The IRS doesn’t really care about you.” 😔

HeeHaw Lawsuit Update: A federal lawsuit just laid out, paragraph by paragraph, exactly what the officer who shot HeeHaw is accused of doing.

Rockmart, Georgia. Hannah Israel filed suit September 11 against Officer Trenton Ryan Garner and the Cedartown Police Department. The complaint says Garner entered her enclosed pastureland after 10:30pm searching for a missing person who was never found there, with no warrant, no consent, and no exigent circumstance. He encountered HeeHaw, described in the filing as young, small, and tranquil, posing no threat to him, any officer, or the K9 on scene. He shot and killed the donkey anyway.

The complaint says officers left HeeHaw's body on the property without telling Israel where to find it. She was only told over the phone that a donkey had been "dispatched." She and a minor child searched the dark pastureland for hours before finding the body themselves.

She's suing under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments for unlawful entry, unreasonable destruction of property, and deprivation of due process, plus punitive damages.

A donkey that never threatened anyone is dead, and a child had to help search for the body in the dark because nobody bothered to say where it was.

Your LG OLED is watching your living room while you sleep.

Gamers Nexus just ran 135 minutes of bench tests.

Retail LG OLED TVs. Including the G5.

Microphone stays active in standby.

Screen is dark. Remote is down. Microphone is still on.

Recording clear audio.

Storing it locally.

Uploading it when the internet comes back.

The TV was disconnected from Ethernet.

Still kept recording.

The researchers put audio near the mic. The TV logged it. Stored the file. Uploaded it the moment connectivity returned.

Plain text voice logs sitting on the device.

LG says it has sold 216 million smart TVs globally.

LG's advertising arm claims access to 363 million secondary devices in the US.

Secondary. Meaning devices that aren't the TV. Your phone. Your partner's smartwatch. Your kid's laptop.

The TV scans your entire network in standby.

Maps every device. Gets their IP addresses. Logs nearby Wi-Fi networks. Signal strengths. Location data.

Then feeds it to LG Ad Solutions.

Automatic Content Recognition catches what's on screen.

Even your HDMI input. Your Apple TV. Your gaming console. All logged.

But the microphone in standby is the part that hits different.

Because standby means off to you.

To LG it means the listening device is still powered.

Just not telling you.

Researchers found remote code execution vulnerabilities in webOS.

So your network-scanning, audio-recording, data-harvesting television is also potentially hackable by anyone on your Wi-Fi.

LG says nothing.

No comment. No response. No explanation.

Just microphones in 216 million living rooms.

All quietly working while the owner thinks the TV is asleep.

The entire premise of The Dark Knight was that using cellphones for mass surveillance technology was too evil and dangerous to be allowed to exist, Flock Cameras are tracking law abiding citizens 24/7 despite ZERO crimes being committed.

[Josh Brooks @F530Josh]

Did a bit of research on this yesterday.

This shootout happened right in front of a Flock camera.

There are 17 other flock-style cameras within a one mile radius of this event. The police have zero suspects, and have made zero arrests almost four days later. Some are owned by Motorola, some are owned by Flock Safety, and some are owned by Axon.

@Flock_Safety and like-minded systems are not about protecting citizens or enforcing the law. They are an attempt to nationalize the HOA system to increase non-tax related revenue from minor infractions in complete violation of every American's 4th Ammendment right.

Your local government doesn't seek to take criminals off of the street. It seeks more money from your wallet now that taxation has reached its natural cap, and the "ALPR" system is how they've elected to increase revenue from fines.

This will become more insidious when city governments start selling off that revenue to foreign nations for fast budget bumps, like when Chicago sold their parking meter revenue over 75 years to Abu Dhabi in 2008.

With a government run surveillance system this large, it should be impossible for crime like this to go unpunished for longer than 12 hours. Since we are not seeing that level of security, we should all believe instead that the system is not about security at all. City and state officials pushing ALPR cameras need to be removed from their office by any means nessecary.

Get ready for the nuclear fallout. Summer revenue is over & desperation is setting in. Not for the nation…but for certain pockets of vacation markets. People will be trying everything they can to get out of some of these Airbnb’s they bought in ‘22-‘24. No rental income, massive DSCR loans, cost segs coming home to roost in form of depreciation recapture when sold. Every single thing some of the STR grifters pushed 3-4 yrs ago is about to bite back.

I decided to check on Broken Bow, the top of my list for ground zero. I literally just put my finger on some random red dot. You’re going to see 2008 style bombs dropping in some of these markets that I mention in my below post. Doing a write up this week on Lake House markets that I’m seeing some serious pain.

Reporter: “There are no longer any Jéwish people on your committee to appoint judges. You didn’t appoint any of the 18 Jéwish candidates.”

@ZohranKMamdani: “We decided not to move forward with the appointments because Mr. Levin and the others

‼️ Served on Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal defense team, and we want to avoid any connection between the committee

‼️ And the Epstein world.”

Did this just happen?! 😳

Is Mamdani going on the offensive and exposing the whole Epstein network? Haha.

Some of the funniest moments on the show to me are when Jamie is like yeah I’m looking up magic powers and spells and it’s saying they’re not real. And Rogan goes yeah it’s because you’re using google go to perplexity. Go to a different browser that says spells are real.

Chris Hemsworth took a blood test as a stunt for a TV show. The results said he is 8 to 10 times more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Every workout he has posted since is a brain protection protocol disguised as a fitness video.

The test was for Limitless in 2022. The plan was to reveal his results on camera. Peter Attia, the longevity doctor running the bloodwork, saw two copies of the APOE4 gene, called the director, and refused to say it on film.

Two copies is rare, about 1 in 50 people. One copy is common: roughly 1 in 4 carry it, and most never find out because almost nobody tests.

So he rebuilt the routine. Less heavy lifting, more endurance and cardio, because cardiovascular fitness is one of the strongest levers an APOE4 carrier can pull against cognitive decline. He started learning an instrument with Ed Sheeran because new skill acquisition builds cognitive reserve. He added deliberate solitude because chronic stress accelerates the exact pathology he is racing.

His grandfather had Alzheimer's. He watched it happen. Then a camera crew handed him the genetic receipt.

The man with the most photographed body on earth is training for the one organ nobody can see.

I said this about AI well over a year ago. Using it to diagnose and fire people with medical conditions so they lose their insurance AND their income is somehow even more heartless and evil than I’d predicted.

🚨 Data Centers in Ohio are preparing to discharge their water usage directly into lakes and streams and the EPA is working on permits to let them do it

“The Ohio EPA is drafting permits to let that wastewater flow straight into our lakes and streams. Five year permits, no guarantee of a sewage treatment plant on site, just straight into the river if that's what's nearby”

This is very real, the EPA is actually doing this, and there are real concerns:

Concerns raised by residents include

- Thermal pollution: Hot water can harm aquatic life.
- Chemicals: Potential for biocides, metals, or other additives.
- Massive withdrawals and discharges of water strain local water bodies, especially during droughts
- Environmental groups like Great Lakes groups warn of risks to drinking water, recreation and ecosystems

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.

Yet in just the last few days:

-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.

-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.

-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.

The surveillance state isn't inevitable.

It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.

Public pressure works. Keep pushing.

My UFC credential has already been revoked so I’ve got nothing to lose.

Here’s the truth:

Conor & team informed Dana earlier in the week that he had a knee injury.

Dana told them the show MUST go on.
No refunds.

Because of the financial implications McGregor was forced to try.

People inside became aware that McGregor was comprised, and THAT’S why the betting line moved significantly prior to walkouts.

But since in excess of 80% + of the bets AND money legally wagered were on McGregor, this allowed the UFC’s sportsbook partners to win tens of millions in profit from unsuspecting (and uninformed) customers.

Shameful and disgusting business practice for the sake of pure greed, all at the expense of their own fans.
