Local news person just got arrested
Can't be documenting any deprivation of freedoms, now

It's performative theatrics that just happened to coincide with the opening of admissions of the UT School for Civic Life/Enagement (offshoot of Civitas) and UATX, both borne of the idea of freedom of speech and open exchange of ideas in higher ed. I'd laugh at the irony but those batons and zip ties look pretty fucking real to me.
I wonder how Hartzell is gonna square this with UT's Free Speech Week

It's from UT's totally SUPER cereal Free Speech page

Shout out to @bolverk for the timestamp, copying over here for context:
One final clip from the long video demonstrates how peaceful the students were when the yellow-vested organizers cleared a path for the cops.
Don't buy the narrative of it being a chaotic protest and take off your thinking cap, just so you can have a reason to be happy the cops are cracking heads.

Just as the quote above shows, it's the fascist assholes who want the appearance of chaos on our campus so that the suckers will continue to support them.
Oh you mean like this very fine person over in DT?

Sure Blacklab will come come out of the cloakroom and ban me because my opinion is different so I’ll let you guys beat each other off over free Palestine
Because he's doing exactly what you called out and buying the appearance of chaos to justify the brutality

I am forgetful AF but I do not understand how anyone could "forget" they have ammo or firearms in their bags when they fly.
I could see someone forgetting a loose shell or two in a bag and then reusing that bag for air travel. It is a HORRIBLE fucking idea though because you're gonna make the explosive sniffing dogs and equipment light up, and you could forget a shell or two in the bag and end up in FPMITA prison in a foreign country

I'm more embarrassed by abbot deploying riot cops to put down student protesters and arresting kids walking between classes.

Who the fuck do you think has been holding the door open for Greg's Gestapo?

I've heard/read this term a dozen times in the last half-hour, but google doesn't show anything of relevance. What is "Teakettling/Kettling"?
It's been a common police tactic to break protests around the world but was last in the limelight in 2020, here's a GQ article with an explainer, and another from a UK human rights org, but kettling is where cops will cordon off an area and prevent anyone from leaving there, then systematically arrest and process everyone there as criminals. Or maybe let them go. Who knows, it depends on how that cop is feeling in that moment

Guys, he's going to revolutionize cloud computing with his intardnet of shitty things. What could possibly go wrong with the world's first completely decentralized and fully mobile data center?
https://www.theverge.com/24139142/elon-musk-tesla-aws-distributed-compute-network-ai
Elon Musk wants to turn Tesla’s fleet into AWS for AI — would it work?
Musk, who loves to riff on earnings calls, compared the unused compute power of millions of idle Tesla vehicles to Amazon’s cloud service business. If they’re just sitting there, he mused, why not put them to good use to run AI models? (Also, have you ever really looked at your hands? No, I mean really looked?)
“There’s a potential... when the car is not moving to actually run distributed inference,” Musk said. “If you imagine the future perhaps where there’s a fleet of 100 million Teslas and on average, they’ve got like maybe a kilowatt of inference compute. That’s 100 gigawatts of inference compute, distributed all around the world.”
So, to summarize, you buy a Tesla. It’s your property. But Musk wants to freely use the unused compute power in your vehicle for... something? Possibly AI-related? Hopefully not the blockchain. (Tesla is an AI company now, by the way. Musk said so himself during the call.)
16 minutes ago, BrickHorn said:I’m still trying to figure out what Musk is claiming here. Maybe it makes sense to CS/CE types. But it seems like he’s muddling power and computational capacity. In other words, that’s just fancy technobabble to say “Our cars have a battery and a computer and we can use those when they’re not being driven.”
Yeah this reads as technobabble hoping to trick investors into jumping onto a thing that's just an idea. Edge compute is nothing new. Your cell phone or laptop is gonna be significantly more capable in general compute tasks than your car.
But yes, Tesla's have a big ass battery integrated into their chassis. You could use that to power compute infrastructure. But that's not some groundbreaking innovation

One of the main "lines on maps" strategic overview analysts on YouTube just put out a pretty good video on the recently passed Ukraine aid package, going over what's in it and what's not, how it came to be, and it's complications in delivery.
It touches on the congressional process to explain the mechanical "how" but does not go into the politics, so noCR

ATACMS will be used to take out surface to air batteries and clear a path for the storm shadows to reach the bridge.
There's a pretty successful SEAD strategy for getting Kerch downed

idk how many of those companies would be willing to touch FSD with a 10' pole today. especially with the fact Waymo is already out there with robotaxis in some markets and have a pretty nifty lead in the market
Drive between Houston and Dallas on 45 any given day and theres a good chance you'll see one of their self driving semi's that's covered in cameras and spinning lidar lenses. I feel like I've been seeing them since 2022

Theyve had Storm Shadows. And they haven't gone full out after the bridge yet. By this logic, either they didn't have enough storm shadows to do the job, or didn't want to waste them on the bridge etc. That means either the ATACMS they are getting now can/will be used on the bridge, or they don't deem the bridge valuable enough to waste on ATACMS.
I think it's that they need more than one angle of attack to take out such a heavily defended target as the Kerch bridge. ATACMS is a ballistic missile that comes in at mach 3 or 4 out of the stratosphere, Storm shadow/Scalp are stealthy sub/transonic coming in low, and the MALDS decoys can add even more chaos to the scope of an ivan air defense operator.
I'd bet a dollar that Kerch isn't standing by summer. If Ukraine can cut that lifeline it will completely change the complexion of russias impending offensive

He can't help by lie, and about the most obvious, easily provable things. It's not just natural for him, it's a requirement. Like, I actually think he might die if he doesn't spout at least a dozen insanely outlandish and obvious lies a day.
Also, he is an actual abject moron. One of the dumbest people to walk this earth....and millions worship him. This fucking timeline....
One of the worst things about the trump presidency was the insistence by trump's band of useful idiots that it was unreasonable to call trump a liar, and the constant calls to meet in the middle between truth and lies. It always got especially bad during any period of civil unrest

Nevermind that being against the genocide of Palestinian civilians is not antisemitism. This is a major fascist turn for abbott to be making this play and using these levers
