Would you go hunting for diamonds in the dirt if you knew you could actually find one worth some good money? The Diamond is a clever, fascinating short documentary film made by filmmaker Caitlyn Greene. The film is about a place in Arkansas called the Crater of Diamonds State Park (find it on Google Maps) where anyone can freely search for and/or mine diamonds, as well as other rocks and minerals located in an ancient volcanic crater. Greene set out to make a film about people who go there and try to dig for them. She explains: "Some people find substantial diamonds, some don't, and either way, it takes a lot of digging in the dirt. I was immediately hooked." Adding that, "I was interested in the hope of treasure, the grittiness of searching, and what people there were actually looking for in their lives." Deep. This is such a mesmerizing doc to watch, so damn good. Thanks to Kottke for the tip on this one. Intro via Vimeo: "Atop the remnants of an ancient volcanic crater, wandering…

Federal prosecutors have arrested and charged two individuals for selling fake COVID-19 vaccination cards.Bethann Kierczak, 37, of Southgate is accused of stealing blank vaccine cards from the Detroit VA health care system, where she worked as a nurse, and selling the cards on Facebook for $150 to $200. She said she was using the money to pay for a child’s orthodontist bills, according to transcripts of those Facebook messages provided by prosecutors.According to the criminal complaint, a “Confidential Source” (CS) tipped off the Detroit VA Police Services in August that Kierczak, a registered nurse, was “forging and selling CDC marked COVID-19 vaccination cards she stole to veterans and non-veterans for profit.”The source also provided copies of their Facebook Messenger conversations with Kierczak from May and June as evidence. Portions of those conversations are included in the charging documents, and show the confidential source repeatedly pushing Kierczak to get the vaccination cards.On May 22, 2021:CS: “If you don’t forget to grab me about 10 of those things..  » Read More

The DEA plans to put a set of demands before platforms like Snapchat and TikTok to control the fake drug crisis fueled by social media marketplaces. The Administrator of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration has targeted social media platforms, specifically mentioning TikTok and Snapchat over the online sale of fake drugs laced with lethal chemicals that are responsible for a staggering number of deaths. Social media platforms have long served as a hotbed for trading illegal items including drugs and weapons and, of course, misinformation. Even though the platforms have strict policies against such activities, multiple reports continually highlight that business is booming for bad actors. Most of the drug peddlers actually use popular platforms like Instagram and Snapchat to advertise their goods, and then use messaging platforms such as Wickr and Kik to complete the deal with buyers. What has truly shocked authorities, however, is the sheer ease of finding such items on social media platforms, and how little is being done to put an end to this illicit online trade which continues to grow and cause more deaths. The problem has only worsened in the past few months due to the sale of fake drugs laced with lethal chemicals such as fentanyl that…

Another week, another rough outing for the USC Trojans on the gridiron. It wasn’t fun to watch, but it certainly makes for lively discussions about the state of the program during the week. National YouTube hosts want to talk about the implosion of USC, and one such host reached out to Trojans Wire. @MarkRogersTV, the @VoiceOfCFB, brought Trojans Wire back on his YouTube show (he has lots of different team-specific channels and a USC channel in his rotation) to discuss the nightmare against Oregon State. We spent nearly 15 minutes going over the various aspects of this latest step-on-a-rake moment for the Trojans in a 2021 season which is going nowhere quickly. Trojans Wire thanks Mark Rogers for having us on his show. In return, we invite you to subscribe to his USC channel and his main YouTube channel (plus any other team channels you might be interested in). Also, hit the Like button on Mark’s channels, since that amplifies the visibility and increases the reach of his shows. Here is this week’s show with Mark Rogers, the Voice of College Football:

Boosie has been a longtime supporter of Bill Cosby, including repeatedly defending the comedian against sexual misconduct claims, and vehemently denying that he should've ever been in prison.  Now, Bill Cosby is showing Boosie some love by promoting his new biopic, My Struggle. On Wednesday (September 29), Cosby shared the poster for the film along with the message, "Lil Boosie, I have always appreciated your truth and support. What I’m about to say, is not to compensate you because you supported Bill Cosby. My publicist, Mr. Andrew Wyatt told me about your film, My Struggle and I am encouraging all of my supporters and fans to make this American Citizen, Lil Boosie’s film, My Struggle a box office success. Thank you very much."  This comes after Boosie warned his fans not to watch pirated versions of his movie, and he even called out the CEO of Vimeo after a bootleg version of his biopic was uploaded to the site. You can go to Boosie's official My Struggle website to watch the film.

By Donald Gilpin The clash between Princeton University and local community members over the University’s application for a zoning variance on Prospect Avenue continued at last week’s virtual meeting of the Princeton Planning Board (PPB), with dozens of speakers voicing their ideas, opposition, and proposals for compromise. After four hours of discussion, the PPB announced that the discussion would continue at its October 21 meeting, which could possibly culminate in deliberations and a final vote by PPB members. The September 23 meeting, carried over from July 8, was the third long PPB session concerning Princeton University’s proposal to demolish three Queen Anne Victorian houses on the north side of Prospect and move the former Court Clubhouse building at 91 Prospect Avenue from across the street into their place in order to provide space to construct the entrance to its planned 660,000-square-foot Environmental Studies and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (ES+SEAS) complex. Several different speakers proposed compromises that involved adapting and expanding the former Court Clubhouse without moving it, but the University continued to emphasize the necessity of following its original plans for moving the 91 Prospect building across the street in order to construct a gateway Theorist Pavilion for…
