    Panel 1: Jucika goes to the shop to buy bottled beer, but there’s a sign reading “Palackozott SÖR ELFOGYOTT” — “Bottled BEER SOLD OUT.” Dead end.

    Panel 2: Undeterred, she strides off confidently, rolling a whole barrel like it’s nothing.

    Panel 3: She’s back home, and she’s set up the keg and is bottling the beer herself, with a row of filled bottles already lined up on the floor.

    The joke is the escalation: she doesn’t accept defeat, she just bypasses the whole supply chain entirely. Very resourceful. Classic mid-century Eastern European humor, kind of dry and absurdist.


  • The standard isn’t ‘proven illegal’, it’s ‘proven legitimate’ — those aren’t the same bar. The court doesn’t need to prove the money is dirty to block it, the defense needs to prove it’s legitimate. Unverified anonymous internet donations fail that test not because they’re criminal but because they’re unverifiable. Seizure is a separate legal action with a completely different evidentiary standard.

    The procedure is codified in state law with defined standards, not made up on the spot. Bond rulings in Tennessee can be challenged through higher courts, so the ‘no appeal’ claim doesn’t hold up either.

    And if you think bail is an unjust wealth-based system, the crowdfunding situation illustrates that perfectly: his supporters are collectively buying his freedom, which is exactly what bail abolitionists object to. That’s an argument for the judge’s skepticism, not against it.


  • Here are the facts: Tennessee explicitly authorizes courts to conduct bond source hearings to prevent defendants from using the proceeds of illegal activity to secure their release. These hearings are required by state law for any bond set at $75,000 or higher — Eatherly’s $1 million bond clears that threshold by a significant margin, making this procedure entirely standard and not specific to his case. The burden lies completely on the party seeking to post the bond. Whoever is paying must prove that the money is derived from legitimate sources rather than illegal activities. Defense attorneys generally have to present bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns, or other financial records to satisfy the judge. If the judge is not satisfied with the legitimacy of the funds, the defendant will not be allowed to post bond and will remain in custody, regardless of whether they have the physical cash on hand.

    even if this were true, the group doing this isn’t rewarding sympathizers, they’re just carpet-bombing high-visibility Western targets - they’ve hit Truth Social, Reddit, Internet Archive, Microsoft 365, and now Bluesky. these guys aren’t sitting there reading Bluesky’s moderation policy like “hmm, actually, their stance on Palestinian content is nuanced, let’s move on”





  • it absolutely can! there’s Bypass Paywalls Clean developed by magnolia1234. the reason you don’t see them shared often is that they’re repeatedly taken down from official extension stores like the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, and platforms like GitHub, due to legal and political pressure from publishers, which pushes them to increasingly obscure and/or questionable hosting platforms that most normal users wouldn’t touch - case in point, Bypass Paywalls Clean itself is currently hosted on GitFlic, a Russian code hosting platform, as it’s been pushed outside the reach of Western legal frameworks
