  2. Credit where it's due that you realize you've made an echo chamber for yourself, but musk has really cranked the dials up on amplifying right wing stuff since his acquisition of twitter. You're gonna continue having trouble to find facesitting vids when the platform continues to invite neonazis and very fine people like alex jones BACK onto his privately owned platform. That's the sort of contributors that musk is hoping for on HIS Twitter. So just be aware of what you're repeating when you're just "posting what you see". Andy Ngo in particular has been told he's full of shit by several courts and it is a matter of legal fact that he's a liar and an instigating troll
  3. That is a DT CLASSIC move for during civil unrest! They haven't lost a step
  4. ACKSHUALLY , Twitter was initially an SMS service, not an Internet service
  5. There it is. Let it out, big fella
  6. The thread shitting does have a certain iconoclast jenesequa
  7. So it turns out they may have painted with an overly broad brush https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/30/24145680/google-workers-fired-project-nimbus-protest-nlrb-complaint
  8. As pointed out by Bolverk, it a bit of a moot point when the university didn't make it a rule until after they riot cop'd everyone last Wednesday.
  9. There is an ocean of context that differentiates a COVID style facemask from the symbol of hate and state sponsored oppression (in the post reconstruction south, specifically) that is a KKK hood. You are literally comparing the two directly and contrasting them as being characteristic to one type of speech or another. The recent 2019 campus free speech law didn't really make sense -it was a solution in search of a problem - and it was signed anyway. And then it was ignored when convenient by the fascist who signed it to force universities to allow white supremacists on campus
  10. As a reminder, the Texas GOP literally made "removing critical thinking from schools" a priority because it "harmed parental control"
  11. We do not want to go down the road of giving the fascists the reigns of power back. It doesn't end up great for the people that are caught in the blast of killing all the fucking fascists
  12. Comparing a blue COVID mask to a KKK hood is certainly a take.
  13. In court and on record it turns out that eyewitness are incredibly unreliable on their own. But don't let me get in the way of your police state to silence speech you don't like, which is what kick-started this whole shit show
  14. In fairness, abbott has trouble with the whole getting on his knees thing
  15. TIL a bank is a State-designated free speech public forum!
  16. To be honest, the law that abbott signed in 2019 was done so for this exact case. A no-shit white supremacist was going to speak at ATM and the student body revolted and it eventually escalated into clashes between the pro and anti fascists in attendance that the cops had to break up. In response, ATM created a policy that only university-sanctioned visitors could speak on campus from then on. SB18 was passed in direct response to this event. Edit: I've linked it already but I'm sourcing from this Georgetown FSP article
  17. IMO they'd be better served contracting an orbital imaging firm to get regular site pictures for the rivers. Once they've got that image data it's pretty easy to throw a computer vision model at em to identify active building sites
  18. ARREST THAT STUDENT HE IS TAKING UP MORE GROUND SQUARE FOOTAGE THAN HE NEEDS TO AND IS BLOCKING OTHERS FROM USING THE SPACE!!!! /s
