Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Captainant replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
He's also referencing Andrew fucking Tate the human trafficker and rapist by talking about """living in the matrix""". Absolutely insane how far that ideology has spread now -
It's basically an approved material/curriculum, but districts aren't required to teach. It'll be in TEKS next year I'd bet though

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

The real kicker for domestic agriculture and fishing is that climate change is gonna make previously arable regions into poor farmland, and the gulf will soon not be hospitable to the lifecycle of most sea life. Turns out water temps matter, and dumping all the waste we do into the gulf has deleterious effects on the ecology. Hell, there's barely any trout in the gulf anymore these days. The cycle of intense winter freeze followed by brutally hot summer has led to a bunch of fish kills each year- 9082 replies

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening

I didn't think it was trademark - the university didn't take the site down because of the "Bevo" in the name. It was because the former owner made a shit business deal with a scumbag and got fucked over after the fact. The site was lost because the shitty business deal person successfully argued in court to a judge that shaggy was worth $350,000, based on Blacklab saying it was worth "tree fiddy" on a reddit AMA -

Same shit different name, but it's the same problem. Unless we're just off the rails on day one, an executive order doesn't overrule the law -
Interesting update https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/judge-review-alex-jones-attempt-block-infowars-sale-onion-rcna181377 Another bidder, First United American Companies, a limited liability company affiliated with Jones' dietary supplements business, had challenged the results of the auction after it said it bid twice as much cash as the Onion. ... But First United American Companies quickly contested the results, saying in an emergency filing attempting to block the sale that it had offered $3.5 million in cash — compared to the Onion's $1.75 million. The auction process approved by Lopez did not require Murray to automatically select the bidder that submitted the highest amount, and the trustee could reject the bid that was "contrary to the best interests" of the estate creditors. "I want a fair and transparent process, and let's see where that process goes," Lopez said, adding, "Everyone will have their day in court." At a prior court hearing following the auction, Murray said, "the creditors ended up significantly better off" under the Onion's bid. He also explained in a filing that the majority of Sandy Hook families were willing to forgo their share of the sale proceeds and instead take a percentage from future revenues from a revamped Infowars, which would allow the other creditors to collect more money.

https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/bird-flu-found-sample-california-raw-milk-officials/story?id=116185808 Hooray, raw milk is a vehicle for bird flu transmission! It's a good thing we have a standard of pasteruization to protect against such spread of diseases. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/rfk-jr-health-stances-vaccines-fluoride-raw-milk-rcna180244 But the new guy overseeing the FDA and the CDC says raw milk is cool, so I'm sure that'll be just fine -

The destruction of America's public education system
Captainant replied to Captainant's topic in Cloak Room
Jesus. His response to "do you believe in intellectual diversity and freedom of thought?" Rufo stiffened. The muscles in his face froze. He spoke and his words came fast, pitched a half-step higher. He said it would have been better if Dewey had never been born. He said that adhering to Dewey’s values creates “an academic life that drifts into witchcraft, into phrenology, into gender studies.” He said academics like Strong who believe in Dewey, “frankly, deserve what’s coming.” Perhaps Rufo imagined he was being discreet by leaving “what’s coming” vague. But professors paying attention to Texas politics know exactly what it means. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has, over the last four years, called for the elimination of tenure, for restricting students’ free speech, and for mandating what professors can teach. Patrick has also pushed for the elimination of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs at Texas’ public universities. And, in the case of these programs, “what’s coming” is already here. Texas outlawed DEI in January. The attacks against higher education have hurt faculty morale. There is anecdotal evidence that they are beginning to damage UT’s ability to attract high-quality professors. An August survey of 950 Texas faculty conducted by the AAUP revealed that two-thirds would not recommend Texas universities to their out-of-state colleagues. More than a quarter plan to interview for jobs elsewhere this year. A similar number have already done so. Half said they have noticed fewer, and less qualified, applicants for open positions. The top reason cited by those looking to leave is the state’s political climate. Anxieties about academic freedom, DEI attacks, access to reproductive care, LGBTQ+ issues, and tenure also made the list. -

Yeah it may be the best time to buy for a while, if things happen as they have been promised to happen. Gutting the labor force for construction is not gonna help the lack of new builds -

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks

Nothing about Trump's last term, or the preamble to his second term leads me to believe this is a possibility. The crazy is going to be redirected to cruelty. Cruelty is the point. -

So, not wanting their brands to appear along side hate speech and disinformation is arguably NOT sufficient business justification? Really uhhhh... Inspired selective pursuit of antitrust action I guess. I can't wait until the State is prosecuting people for not giving their money to the oligarch class -

Don't have a monitor but when I hook my PC up to my OLED in my living room it looks spectacular. Definitely make sure youve got the setup and correct cables for sending an HDR signal, it really makes games pop -
No, they just don't care when it's Republicans doing it. They get their titties in a twist when some random goober on Twitter claims a (D) is being bad without proof, and use the power of cognitive dissonance to filter out any real evidence of wrong doingby (R)s

PUC calls for legislative, regulatory fixes for CenterPoint’s failures during Beryl-centerpoint-legislative-regulatory-fixes/ The punchline is that they aren't requiring any real resiliency improvements, just recommending they staff a call center so humans can tell you you're fucked, instead of a recording

Propublica with some excellent reporting as always: https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-dismisses-maternal-mortality-committee-amber-thurman-candi-miller Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women. The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths. ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable. They were the first reported cases of women who died without access to care restricted by a state abortion ban, and they unleashed a torrent of outrage over the fatal consequences of such laws. The women’s stories became a central discussion in the presidential campaign and ballot initiatives involving abortion access in 10 states. “Confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outside individuals,” Dr. Kathleen Toomey, commissioner of the state Department of Public Health, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 8 and addressed to members of the committee. “Even though this disclosure was investigated, the investigation was unable to uncover which individual(s) disclosed confidential information. “Therefore, effective immediately the current MMRC is disbanded, and all member seats will be filled through a new application process.” A health department spokesperson declined to comment on the decision to dismiss the committee, saying that the letter, which the department provided to ProPublica, “speaks for itself.” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s office also declined to comment, referring questions to the health department.
