Oh my god, Matt Fucking Forney has risen from the grave to embarrass himself once again

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 13, 2026, 12:31 AM

He was doing research, Benjamin.

What is the fuck horse?

This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Also to be fair to Tom's Hardware, it's possible that the original draft of the article that was not published contained stuff about bots and that that stuff was removed before the article went live on the site. So they may not have reported anything erroneous.

Just to be absolutely clear, the difference between the URL and the headline and article suggests that the article was edited to remove these specific claims because they didn't hold up. But if there is evidence out there, I would love to see it.

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:07 PM

If I am wrong please let me know.

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:06 PM

I got cut off there, but I was just saying that if they removed this from the article, it suggests that when they double-checked the evidence, it didn’t hold up. So this still could be true, but we don’t seem to have clear evidence of that.

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:04 PM

Tom's Hardware originally reported that the strikes had taken out far-right bot activity and that is reflected in the URL for the article below. But the headline and the text of the article now don't make that claim which suggests that the evidence wasn't www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:02 PM

This seems plausible but screenshots and claims on X are not evidence and I haven't found a solid article online that backs up this claim. In fact I found one that walked back the claim, suggesting that the evidence is not out there. See my next post.

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:57 PM

Ok so Tom's Hardware originally reported that the strikes had taken out far-right bot activity and that is reflected in the URL for the article below. But the headline and the text of the article now don't make that claim. Probably this is not true. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

@davidfutrelle.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:30 PM

Big if true. I certainly hope it's true but I don't trust screenshots.

More like two, in that the covers of three of them have the same picture on them.

It's only a matter of time before a confused Trump declares war on transloading.
