Picking their Pockets The People who are Robbing you Blind

📰 I write about Trump winning 48% of the Hispanic vote in 2024 and have an update on my book in my Substack entry Big City Lawyer Ted Cruz and the Outrage machine #politics in US News and Fraud in Minnesota. Consider subscribing ✌️ ostache.substack.com/p/picking-th...

Exactly one year from each other, two people were unlawfully #arrested, detained, deprived of medical attention, lost consciousness and woke up at a hospital in #Minneapolis. Me, and the other was Aliyah #Rahman. I can't repeat my story every day. But I did today

Update: Minneapolis people now claim to take care of neighbors. Local man still faces severe trauma and medical bills due to being left to lose my life to a blood infection caused by the police because to them IT WAS FUNNY

Better late than never

LOL This is EXACTLY what the #Minneapolis PD did to me!

I wouldn't be surprised if the MPD just put masks on for a week.
1/19/25: I was ALSO unlawfully arrested, held for DAYS, denied medical care, lost consciousness. If anyone cares I BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A WHILE 🤪

The One Sided Feud - Waiting to Play Chess Cheating accusations, inexplicable bans, trolling, intolerance and it doesn't end

🏆Here is my weekly #online #chess article with the amazing third place finish over one professional and just under another. Disclaimer: I do not believe that is a real professional player. I'm 90% sure it's a bot. I don't ever get matched against the IMs 😆

I was able to play humans on lichess for 2 days and I got third and 9th in arenas and my rating was up near 2000

Back to robots again. 1700 1 minute elo. #Chess. com banned my account from being able to log in.

Lichess / chesscom: "hmm, should we do to him what people did to #danya? Let's do it!"

Autopsy reveals Charlotte chess master Daniel Naroditsky’s probable cause of death Naroditsky died suddenly, “without evidence of acute distress,” the autopsy by the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner’s Office showed.

Daniel Naroditsky✌️- autopsy toxicology report is public. I'll do a full write up on substack. If there's a villain, it's the 7oh. It should NOT be legal. He said one drank "Indonesian tea" on stream and I knew he was using kratom. ❤️ to the family

Just Do the Work - Chess in the USA Broken Promises and the Failure of the Social Safety Net

EXTRA! 📰 I was right and am claiming victory. I waited a bit, my #chess article discusses how I am banned from chess.com - EG not permitted to log in. They didn't #ban me for cheating and I obviously play fair. Yet no one person supports me. I'm owed an explanation, am on a blacklist? #chesscom 👎

Like Gorka for Medved How Politics changed, the Salem Radio Network changed, America changed, and your mind changed in the wake of Singlespeak and a Very Big Brother

I talk about my memories of listening to Republican / Salem Radio Network host Michael Medved in this editorial. I will also be hosting opinion pieces for people who disagree with me, so look out for that! I would love to get some #medved love. A 5 Star American

This is the article I wrote about how it has been my belief that websites already have used tools to verify my identity and I am shadow banned (prohibited from logging in) from chess . com. Even if you don't play chess and only care about yourself, you should probably care about this 😵‍💫🙋⁉️

I removed the paywall on my post about the screen act and #kosa because there's nothing I can say or write about that is more important than describing how I was systematically prohibited from playing chess online for no discernable reason. This could only be done by verifying my identity somehow 🤷

After 3 months of streaming chess twice per day, I made my point. It is impossible to gain a following #streaming #chess unless you are sponsored, unoriginal, and inorganic. I'm still going to play chess, and write about chess, but I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face. I warned people.

The Minneapolis Dinner Table Reflecting on a shooting in Minneapolis, the political landscape of the city and that time I got arrested by the MPD for no reason

👮One week shy of my anniversary of the #Minneapolis police arresting me for essentially no reason, I wrote this article about the larger political and societal issues that are dividing people both in Minnesota and the country. ✌️My book is done, but needs more editing substack.com/@ostache/not...

The people around you will make or break you and your goals. My best friend from age 10 - 30 became a drunk, selfish, ugly person. He derailed my projects, drifted in and out, and stole from me. I once promised him the small amount of money I had if something happened. Officially revoked. GL Grant

Salem’s Discord - Chess and the Witch Hunting Youth I stop writing about chess for this, my weekly chess article

My weekly #chess article this week isn't about chess. It is about how people won't talk about chess because they're all afraid of the same thing. Find out what it is, comment, share, and I have to get back to a family emergency. substack.com/@ostache/not...

Parental Advisory - Text From Mom (this content has been deemed not suitable for minors) My Experience on the Internet is your Terrifying Future

It's incredibly important to me to share this, which is about KOSA and the Screen Act. Both are bills with wide support that will censor the internet and end online privacy. Those things aren't important to you, I hope. I'm editing my book, gtg! #kosa #censorship

I did wind up #writing an introductory part of my idea for a story called Johnny Depp's VR Experience. I'm imagining a near future in which hyper niche communities are more insular, less tolerant of diverse thought. In my imagination, it looks ridiculous #fiction

My new post is about #brandon #jacobsen and details the #viihsou #naroditsky late night marathon, which is now cast in a new light. I think Brandon ought to be unbanned, but as someone who is on the blacklist for no discernable reason, my voice has minimal impact. I'm still streaming twice per day!

The Ballad of Viih Sou - Destroying the Reputation of an Innocent Chess Player Chesscom continues to actively play the role of villain in the world of Chess

I'm two days late with my chess article, but it's here. The first in a series of wrongly banned, blacklisted, and reputation tarnished players in the world of #chess or at least #onlinechess or at least #chess.com - the blacklist is real, so you better be nice! 😉

I think I'm going to write "Johnny Depp's VR Experience," a story about a future where VR hangouts are like exclusive clubs. If you have the youth, the beauty, and the money, you can get in... and watch Johnny Depp eat dinner (he can't see you). There are much worse ways to spend $1 Million dollars

YouTube video by SRS CHESS NEW World Record - Chess Bots 500 - 2500 ELO / Stockfish Fairy 14 Levels 1 - 5 in 12:30

I finally got my #stockfish level 1 - 5 #chess bot speedrun under 13 minutes! It's bullet chess, 1 minute, 1 second increment. That was my goal, it took six months or something like that to finally get enough luck. Here it is, the new world record, unedited:

I'm thinking about #writing a VR story for my #book (which is being edited) so if you like one of these ideas, respond!
Setting: a near future where people hang out in VR spaces 24/7.
Idea one: Johnny Depp's VR Experience
Idea two: a normal girl is uniquely aware of VR watchers, starts responding

My weekly chess article is live now, and for months I've streamed twice per day at roughly noon and midnight EST (every time I play). You can watch as I start #streaming 2200-2400 ELO puzzles and FAST #chess, I really appreciate anyone who watches or subscribes! open.substack.com/pub/ostache/...

I am THRILLED to say that I had an official civil rights complaint filed against the security guards who lied about being police officers before they assaulted me. That's great news! If you get assaulted, you are eventually allowed to write an angry letter

lichess continues to shadowban my account, but they will not allow an appeal, agree i have never cheated, and there are no marks on my account.

It makes me wonder if it isn't the website at all, and I have some kind of malware. The #chess #community can be counted on to not give a single f

My book is done! It's 11 short stories. I've been giving people a test manuscript. This is the eponymous story for the book's title, The Prisoner's Apology (based on experiences on social media) free and you can read it for now if you'd like! #fiction #writing

I write one chess article per week (on weekends)

But I also wrote a book. It's an anthology collection of 11 original stories. From a future where a man controls the world with a golden key, to a disease caused by media consumption, an Orwellian game called Dark Mode and more. I'll post updates 😊

Learning how to Win - Chess Endgames and the Ding Liren Blunder My fourth weekly chess article for the month of November

I promised that my weekly chess article would not be about me and I DID IT!!! This is about the Ding Liren v Gukesh world championship match game 14 blunder. And it's about understanding chess and how what you don't know can hurt you (in chess)
