The image shows an aerial view of a port area with several covered vehicles and military tanks. The vehicles are covered with black tarps, arranged in rows, and are positioned next to a row of stacked shipping containers. The containers are primarily red and blue, with some yellow markings. In the foreground, two military tanks are visible, one partially covered by a tarp and the other fully exposed. The tanks have a camouflage pattern. The port area is adjacent to a highway, with a clear sky above. The text at the bottom of the image reads, "Why are they hiding tanks in The Port of LA?"

The image shows an aerial view of a busy industrial area. In the foreground, there is a large open space enclosed by red shipping containers, with several covered vehicles parked inside. The containers are stacked in a corner, forming a barrier around the area. The vehicles are covered with black tarps, and some are partially visible, suggesting they are new cars awaiting transport.
In the background, a multi-lane highway runs parallel to the industrial area, with several trucks and cars visible on the road. The highway is bordered by a concrete barrier, and there are additional shipping containers and industrial buildings visible further back. The scene is well-lit, indicating it is daytime, and the shadows suggest the sun is positioned to the left of the frame. The overall layout shows a bustling industrial environment with a focus on logistics and transportation.

The image shows an aerial view of a large industrial area, likely a shipping or storage yard. In the foreground, there is a large concrete area with numerous vehicles covered by black tarps, arranged in neat rows. The tarps obscure the details of the vehicles, but their shapes suggest they are cars. Among the covered vehicles, a military-style armored vehicle is visible, partially uncovered, indicating it might be of a different type or purpose. In the background, there are stacks of red shipping containers, some with visible markings and labels. A yellow forklift is positioned near the containers, suggesting active loading or unloading operations. The area is bordered by a road with a visible lane marking, and a metal barrier separates the road from the industrial area. The overall scene is organized and suggests a large-scale operation, possibly involving the storage or distribution of goods.

The image shows a series of tweets from a user named "zarya-zaryanitsa" on a social media platform. The tweets are dated November 7 and 8, 2023.
The first tweet, dated November 7, 2023, describes a historical practice from the fifteenth century in Poland where individuals would pretend to be werewolves to scam villagers for free meat. They would attach wolf tails to their backsides, walk around the village howling, and occasionally bite a random cow to ensure villagers would donate meat to prevent them from "losing control" and attacking someone.
The second tweet, also dated November 7, 2023, is a response from another user named "creature-witch," expressing interest in learning more about the topic.
The third tweet, dated November 7, 2023, provides a source for the information, mentioning a book titled "Sarmata i demony: obraz demonologii ludowej w polskiej literaturze orzędromantycznej" by M. Łuczynski.
The fourth tweet, dated November 8, 2023, includes a summary of the information in Polish, mentioning that there is poetry cited that references this custom. The tweet also includes hashtags such as #its unfortunately in polish but to summarise, #theres some poetry cited that references this custom, #fascinating, and #awoo.
The tweets are presented in a black background with white text, and the user's profile picture is visible next to each tweet.

The image displays two separate Twitter posts side by side, each enclosed in a colored box. The top post is framed in red and attributed to Kristen Hodges ([@]KHodgess). It reads: "If God made you a male, that's not a mistake. If God made you a female, that's not a mistake. Saying any different is insulting a perfect creator. Read your word." The bottom post is framed in blue and attributed to Dana Goldberg ([@]DGComedy). It reads: "God made you a brunette, yet you are now a blonde. God gave you bad vision, yet you fixed it with glasses. God gave you crooked teeth, yet you straightened them with braces. Trans people change the outside to match the inside just like you do. Sit down. Jesus said to." Both posts are presented against a black background, with the Twitter profile pictures and usernames visible above the text.

Meh. I don't object to a $20 minimum wage because it's "too high" compared with a handful of CEOs. I object because it's high enough to price plenty of people out of the job market, and I don't think it's good for them or for society for them to spend life on the dole or working on the black market.
But I keep forgetting; working for free or cheap to gain experience and other advantages is only a privilege for rich kids...I'm sorry, "interns". The poor can take a hike.
L'image montre deux tweets. Le premier tweet, de Charlie Kirk ([@]charliekirk11), affirme que "La leçon de New York City est que L'immigration illégale et légale peuvent détruire votre pays. Ce n'est pas seulement l'ouverture des frontières, c'est aussi nos politiques de migration légale suicidaires qui apportent plus d'un million de personnes par an : cartes vertes, migration en chaîne, réinstallation de réfugiés, bébés ancrés et escroqueries d'asile. Tout cela doit être arrêté." Le tweet de Charlie Kirk est accompagné d'une photo de lui en costume.
Le deuxième tweet, de Maxwell Alejandro Frost ([@]MaxwellFrostFL), dit : "Voilà. Pendant des années, ils ont vendu aux gens le mensonge selon lequel "nous n'avons aucun problème si vous venez par le bon chemin !" Mais nous avons toujours vu à travers ce mensonge. Ils sont racistes. C'est tout." Ce tweet est accompagné d'une photo de Maxwell Alejandro Frost.
Les deux tweets sont en anglais et expriment des opinions sur l'immigration, avec des critiques des politiques d'immigration actuelles.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by a user named "Dougie Fresh" posted 9 hours ago. The background of the post is black, and the text is white, making it stand out clearly. The post discusses the financial situation in the United States, particularly focusing on asset outflows and the purchase of U.S. corporate bonds. It mentions that nearly every asset class in the U.S. has experienced a net outflow since Liberation Day, with Treasury Bonds, Government Agency Bonds, and U.S. Equities seeing reduced investments from foreign sources. The only area that increased was the purchase of U.S. corporate bonds. The post suggests that this trend is curious, especially considering the global recession predictions for 2025 led by the United States. It references the Panama Papers, stating that about $11 trillion is held offshore by global corporations and wealthy individuals, with $4 trillion of that amount being from the United States. The post also cites a Substack article, noting that 73% of Fortune 500 companies operate subsidiaries in tax haven countries. The TIC data is mentioned, revealing a massive liquidity problem in the U.S., with investors fleeing from U.S. assets to foreign assets. The post concludes by describing the situation as a self-dealing Ponzi scheme that can only continue for so long.

Appropriate reporting
Ok, I'm sure other Fediverse #admin have gotten reports like this:
Yes, obviously we haven't been checking our reports regularly, with only 3 active users, and only one that's truly active, its easy to monitor this place, so reports aren't hugely important.
That said, gotta love this one, I mean expecting someone to be punished not for violating rules here, but maybe, possibly doing something bad somewhere on the internet.
Umm, unless they break the rules here, we don't really have grounds to ban them, I mean sure, I can do anything I want, but it doesn't reflect well on me for banning people for no reason.
Second and more important, is the lack of proof, its not like user names are unique, the ones I use elsewhere on the web, I know of multiple other users using the same or similar names (minor spelling variations, number substitutes, etc), even if I were inclined to ban someone for something they do somewhere else, I'd need proof of the behavior and proof that its them.
Seriously, if you're going to report a user, feel free, but don't bother us with unsubstantiated claims that have nothing to do with our instance, sadly we don't control the entire internet.
The image is a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, a woman on the left and a man on the right. The woman is wearing a dark-colored dress with a brooch and a necklace, and she has short, light-colored hair. The man is dressed in a suit with a tie. The background is dark, suggesting an indoor setting with other people present, though they are not clearly visible.
Below the photograph, there is a caption in quotation marks that reads: "Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sense, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never gets into politics. He'd be a disaster." The caption is attributed to Mary Anne Trump.

Best purchase yet?
So, I've been casually looking for a compact bookshelf stereo for my desk, something that could replace my computer speakers while at the same time giving me the option to listen to CDs or the radio, and yesterday I got this:
That's a big bigger than it looked in the pictures, or rather really deep. It is however great, and very much over kill. Why? Because it doesn't just do radio and CD, it also does DVDs, as in its a DVD player. No HDMI, but does have composite and I think S-video, so very nice piece, music and video in one small unit.
I might actually go back to the computer speakers, while this works fine, that'd allow me to hear things on the computer and play music at the same time, which is very appealing. Also since I've retired my engraver, I can replace my other computer with a small TV and watch DVDs at my desk if'n I want to.
Dunno if they still make units like this, but highly recommended, it's nice how it saves space while giving you so many options, imagine living in a tiny home or RV (caravan), all your media in one small box. I scored this one for just $20 on Marketplace, which seems about fair considering these were sold back around 2005, so really old.
