  1. @tonyrox845 deleted his Twitter account. Probably a good idea. I was going to shit on him.
  2. "Over the past several years, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has quietly built out an expansive surveillance apparatus—one that’s increasingly powered by artificial intelligence. Many of these technology acquisitions have been made under the auspices of Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, an $11 billion program that has supercharged the state’s decades-long border militarization. The powerful and well-funded state police agency has not just expanded its existing surveillance capabilities, which include a fleet of spy planes, unmanned drones, and a network of wildlife game cameras that are deployed all across the borderlands of Texas, but it also is increasingly using AI-powered software to perform intelligence gathering. DPS records obtained and reviewed by the Texas Observer in recent months shed new light on the scope of the state police’s surveillance toolbox. The agency has spent millions acquiring an array of powerful—and controversial—artificial intelligence software tools that can mine billions of images to provide facial recognition, track vehicle locations from automatic license plate readers, monitor phone conversations of inmates in Texas prisons and jails, break into and search for data evidence from seized cell phones and computers, and even track cell phones without a warrant.... The Legislature has supported this expansion with ample new funding for DPS. Last session, the biennial budget gave DPS $22.2 million to acquire “Advanced Analytics & Threat Detection Software”; over $6 million for Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division (ICT) “technology projects”; and $17 million to expand its Operation Drawbridge network of surveillance cameras along the border." https://www.texasobserver.org/
  3. Gunther Eagleman says that all of these people are funded by George Soros.
  4. UH fans start a petition to keep Ted out of San Antonio this weekend.
  5. After today, Trump owns the top EIGHT best Dow Jones drops in American history.
  6. The simulation is not amusing me. Guess who rang the opening bell yesterday morning, when the Dow tanked 1700 points?
  7. "Sure, I'm driving this goddamn train off a cliff. But you have to trust me. There will be some suffering in the short term but there will be a bigly pay off in the end." ---- train conductor who has already driven multiple trains off a cliff
  8. If only Trump had seen Ferris Bueller this whole thing could have been avoided!
  9. This probably goes in the unpopular opinions thread and I know I will be excoriated but, in the off season, I actually like Ketchum's show with Chad Hastings better than the seven-times-per-day OTF offerings. You can start beating me up now.
  10. Kentucky trumpkins: Trump is playing 4-D chess. Woman: "I think it's funny" when Trump pisses the Canadians off. This is the fucking problem we have in this country. They are not serious people.
  11. With that haircut and that face he's got Aggie written all over him.
  12. If the Democrats are smart, they'd make Elon the face of the Republican party. He's just weird, and no amount of his own social media is going to cover up that fact. In fact, I think the more he's seen/heard the weirder he'll be thought to be.
  13. DOWN GOES ELON! DOWN GOES ELON!
  14. Ooops. Sorry. Administrative error!
  15. Meanwhile, back when we used to be a proper country. How cool was this man?
  16. Hey ... Kid Rock wore a suit. Why couldn't Zelensky?
  17. On the other hand, Natural Born Killers was pretty on brand.
  18. Some kids in a poor Philippine village will be wearing one of those hats in two years.
  19. Biden's Approval Rating in April, 2021 was 57%. What's Trump's currently?
