Having talked to many people and organizations involved in the evacuation of Kabul, I’m getting a real clear picture of how wanna be hero groups that went over to “help” ended up causing logistical nightmares that hindered operations. Trying to get enough information for a full length story. Maybe even a podcast episode when it gets going.

China has now imposed a rule that anyone under 18 can play video games for one hour a day (8-9pm) only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to “prevent the addiction to online games, and protecting the healthy growth of minors” according to the Chinese National Press and Publication Administration. When can gamers live in peace?

China’s communist party has banned “sissy men” from television to preserve the “revolutionary culture.” This is mostly in reference to popular South Korean and Japanese pop icons, which the Chinese government believes is promoting men to not be masculine. This comes amid President Xi Jinping’s efforts for a “national rejuvenation” of Chinese culture, which most recently included a large scale ban of people under 18 playing video games.

Instagram has gone down like 5 times in the past month and every time it happens I think the page gets banned

I mean Instagram as in the app, they have been having serious service issues recently

China is now manufacturing sigma males

This is what Nigel Farage has been reduced to

ISKP finally released visual confirmation of the six 107mm rockets they launched towards HKIA on August 30th.

Imagine the Taliban learning how to start and operate Humvees and military equipment from the boogalo memes that went around last year that explained how to do so lmao

Donda is garbage

CLB is also garbage

They were both garbage.

@atlas.news2 is back up. I feel comfortable making the assumption that Instagram knows they are fucking up by removing my page because 1. So far every single post taken down has been by the algorithm (so nearly instantly after I post them) 2. I keep getting my pages back. Is this annoying? Very much so and It also highlights a flaw in their system where removed posts build up and are enforced all at once (and I am aware of them after I get the page back). I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been removed so much at this point but for a while now this has been the case with most posts taken down. Nonetheless this is a good opportunity to start expanding into other avenues off platform.

As shady as this is gonna sound Facebook has back door verification processes for Instagram pages that I will attempt to go through to help the pages with their constant banning. While I have designated the IGs (which are considered business accounts) as media outlets, they have no protection against content being taken down since anyone can do it. There are ways to register and verify Instagram pages with Facebook so they file them as actual news outlets, which offer a lot more protection with iffy content being removed. This is why insta pages for the BBC, AP, and a few other less mainstream news pages are allowed to essentially post freely.

Also give me podcast episode topic ideas because I hope to have this shit popping off soon

The Taliban has begun separating university classrooms into men and women sides, but nonetheless women are still able to attend school.

The only news sources running the claim that Pakistan warplanes and drones attacked Panjshir in support of the Taliban are Indian media outlets. So far the only “evidence” to back up the claims are Arma 3 footage or footage identified to be of aircraft in the US or UK. Also haven’t seen any claims of Pakistani aircraft from official NRF sources or officials either and most tweets about it are from Pro-NRF pages. Were Pakistan aircraft involved? Maybe, who knows. But right now there is literally nothing to back up the claims.

India and Pakistan have been locked in a media war about Panjshir since the NRF declared it was created. Both sides throwing out widely exaggerated reports of deaths on each side, as well as heavily posting recycled footage from other, unrelated conflicts.

PSYOP lesson 101: A lot of people think Arma 3 and DCS world footage is real. All you have to do is drop the resolution a little for those who may be unsure.
