Kentucky man [in a spot of trouble](https://www.kentucky.com/news/local/crime/article305891161.html#storylink=cpy). > [@](#): > > A Kentucky man has been arrested after investigators say he uploaded more than 18,000 photos of women and children to a porn website without permission, according to court documents. Zackery Robinson, 29, of Caneyville, is charged with 27 counts of second-degree stalking, a class A misdemeanor. His arrest warrant says he ran a systematic and prolific scheme of taking photos of women and children from social media, without their permission, and uploading them to a website where users degrade women. Most of the victims were Grayson County residents, according to the arrest warrant. Some of the victims included the Grayson County sheriff’s daughter, multiple Kentucky State Police troopers’ wives and children, and Samara Heavrin, the state representative for the 18th District. The choice of victims alleged here was…unfortunate. ---

I sort of wonder, but _definitely_ not enough to investigate, what the connection is between a website where “users degrade women” (or at least degrade pictures of clothed women & kids) and a porn website. Or rather, what does the first site description do that makes the second description also applicable. But yeah, Boy howdy, did he sure show those cops! Didn’t he? ---

Wiki sez Grayson county KY has ~26K residents. So ~13K female residents. The article says that of his 18,000 pix “most of the victims were Grayson county residents” So he could have had a few pix of damn near everybody or just found the couple dozen residents who a) photo-document their whole damn life on Facebook and b) don’t understand FB security settings. I’m wondering if the dumbass was targeting law enforcement people or that was more a matter of selective prosecution as the prosecutor chose to emphasize those particular 27 victims out of potentially hundreds since the LEO connection will make getting a conviction in this overwhelmingly RW area much more likely. ---

Yeah, that marriage had problems already and that woman wanted an excuse. There’s no person willing to divorce solely over an AI psychic prediction. I don’t know what else is going on but I guarantee there’s more to the story. Also gotta love this bit: > Meanwhile, seasoned coffee readers have weighed in, noting that real tasseography involves much more than just the grounds — skilled practitioners also analyze the foam and the coffee saucer. Such a rigorously scientific approach must be commended. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Every time I think, “It can’t be, nobody’s that stupid,” it turns out that yes, somebody is always _exactly_ that stupid. I’m not going to say it’s impossible, but this is a couple with kids who’ve been together for a while; at least that’s the impression I got from the article. People can be stupid but knowing human nature, I have trouble believing everything was perfect until an AI predicted her husband was cheating then that on its own prompted the divorce. As I said, I guarantee there’s a lot more to this. ---

Stupid shipper sent _hot_ sugar? > **[Updated Info Regarding Suspicious Package Delivered to Channahon Police...](https://www.wspynews.com/news/wcsjnews/updated-info-regarding-suspicious-package-delivered-to-channahon-police-department/article_6c5aa333-ad7c-5cac-bff4-ac03c2ddceb8.html)** > > On Monday, May 5, 2025, a package was delivered to the Channahon Police Department by FedEx. The package was signed for and placed on my desk while I was away. > Several aspects of the package immediately raised my suspicions. It was wrapped in a plastic sheet and covered in dust or other debris. The primary shipping label was faded and largely illegible, and it displayed an incorrect phone number for the police department. Additionally, the package had been relabeled with a second barcode. A red-and-white “FRAGILE” sticker was affixed to the box—an uncommon designation for police department orders. A holographic sticker reading “Thank You for Shopping at My Small Business” was also present, which is unusual since department purchases are not typically made through small business vendors. > Ultimately, the package was found to contain eight 22-ounce canisters of sugar. A few of the canisters had broken open, accounting for the sand-like noise and feel when the package was moved. Although an order for sugar had been placed through the police department’s Amazon business account weeks earlier, the vendor and distributor associated with the delivery differed from those linked to the suspicious package. During a visual inspection on May 9, 2025, FedEx security partners concluded that the shipping label appeared to have been “washed” and deliberately altered. > [T]he altered label may have been used to obscure the true origin of the package—potentially to conceal that the contents were damaged, stolen, or expired goods.
