    not really. that CEO isn't subject to being crushed by MAGA state leadership.  you can't say he's a public servant then use a private for profit example, they aren't even close to the same thing. 

    I'm simply stating we do not know what happened that led to this with respect to this singular decision.

    As for Hartzell as a president, his leadership is certainly suspect I agree and to that point, I have the same questions. To what extent is UT getting squeezed by state politics in ways that make his decision making authority futile?  To what extent is he being told on certain topics what he has to do or else?  I think UT has much bigger issues to be concerned about than simply a president that may suck. I think the problems are much more dire than that.

    You missed the point of the comparison. It's lack of accountability for the actual job instead of personal enrichment or benefit. He chose to personally benefit instead of doing his fucking job and will be rewarded for it by the board who are deranged Maga bootlicker fucks.

  3. Jay Hartzell being in a tough spot is his job. He failed miserably to do a key part of his job. He has failed the students and he has failed the faculty. Anyone defending this is the same as defending reality detached CEOs and their exorbitant pay and destruction of product and innovation for the sake of shareholder value. UT is not a business it's a public institution focused on research and education.

    Hartzell calling in the riot cops on his own student body because he didn't like their speech is beyond the fucking pale. He can repeat abbott's party line on his justification, but it's has nothing to do with what happened yesterday on campus.

    It's unsurprising and predictable that so many people on this board are uncritically believing whatever their preferred authority figure tells them, but holy fucking shit. 

    Hartzell being confirmed by the Daily Texan (publication, not board) to have called in the jackboots

    Hartzell fucked up big time.

    Is everybody blind?

    NFL GMs don’t care about winning games they care about ratings and merch sales. Hope drives sales. 

  6. I mean this is straight up because of Columbia and a bunch of shitheads on other campuses and an overreaction to keep that from happening. It’s not a nothingburger and it was completely fucked in its handling and Hartzel lost control of the university and what is important about this kind of thing. He allowed the university to become a political plaything. 

    • Hook 'Em 6
  7. Being pro Palestine is not being anti Israel. I do think that this was a poor judgement on all fronts. 

    Columbia getting on the news for the wrong things is not good for all the other protests. It’s like BLM riots vs BLM protests. It all turned bad once the riots happened one place because inevitably everyone thinks it devolves to riot. 

    UT students after getting not approved should have worked to get approval or put the shit on blast and do a PR campaign for free speech. 

    Texas Admin fucked up for not approving a protest that seemed fine. 

    State fucked up by sending in literally riot police. 

    Texas president fucked up because he did nothing when he was supposed to be leading.

    They block off all the streets near the stadium that are essentially the arteries of town. It’ll be in your interest to walk if you want time to soak in the experience. If you get there around 8, it’ll be fairly easy, and you can disregard most of the walking issues. 

    If you know AA there’s neighborhoods that are close to the elementary school that you get dropped off in. Off the main arteries and in a black car they will do that. In an Uber you are correct.

    While will they drop you off that far away? If I hired black car service for the day, would that work any differently?

    You'll be fine. They don't drop off miles away lol. 

  10. I'm in the AT&T Conference center attending SDC 2024 and they just announced that the Texas national guard has been mobilized to neutralize a riot near the convention, but by the time the conference is over they should be gone, but not to go "north on campus or just north of campus"

    LOL

    This. My wife is [redacted] at [redacted], one of the leading thinktank/policy-type journals on AVs. She is also [redacted] at [redacted], one of the handful of leading test sites/fake "cities" where AVs are tested. She is an academic and not affiliated with any brand, like Tesla, MB, Ford, GM/Cruise, Google/Waymo, etc.

    At least in the US, it is Google/Waymo <gap> GM/Cruise <large gap> Ford and Tesla.

    The way I hear it talked about at dinner parties, mixers, etc., Tesla is not a serious contender to reach level 4, let alone level 5, and there are serious doubts that it can ever be level 3 with a camera only approach.

    VW and Mercedes not being mentioned by convenience of US based is nice. They are doing really really good work.

    Instead of a fine, how about 10 hours of community service for each violation?  I would love to see the dotard wearing an orange jump suit picking up trash along the Hudson River.

    His time is worth more than that. I don’t think they would do that for pretty simple reasons that with the fine they could levy they could hire 10 people to do that hour of work.

    Gotta admit I could not stop laughing at the thought of the Republican nominee for president (and a former president) calling a NYT reporter named Maggie “Maggot” multiple times.  LMFAO.  At this point anyone who votes for that guy is an indefensible piece of shit.

    Has anybody done a deep dive into the logic he uses to decide which words to capitalize?

    I am excited to get to ~September when Trump can liquidate his shares.  

    Why would he liquidate. He will leverage them. It’s the play.

  14. If he goes to jail he’s not gonna fundraise shit. I think some of you have failed to realize how tapped out his base is. They have been grifted completely. DJT is the latest thing that may work against him. Now people feel like they are going to win when he wins - why just donate when you can buy DJT shares. Huge miscalculation.

  15. The judge is going to hold him in contempt. He did this on purpose since the judge didn’t come down hard today on it. I think he’s playing a game of fuck around and find out with someone who isn’t fucking around.

    i think with the existing 9.95er landscape, there is 100% a place for that

    limited to no off topic data, super accessible "insiders", focus on sports not drama and bring a tremendous value for what you pay. you guys are set up to be in a great spot the closer we get to the fall - seriously.

    i would think there is a place for this concept at some of the other larger schools where folks ("insiders" and posters both) are fed up with the bullshit. give them a piece of the pie, let them do their job pretty straighforward and rock and roll.

    i know you are busy but when OTF shows it's level of success, and no clue what the end game is, you guys should absolutely reach out to some other people in the industry and spin this concept off for them using the lessons learned from starting up OTF

    The reason it works is because we only care about Texas football. The business is just around exactly what you said. We don’t want to help anyone else do it, cuz no other fan base is really like the Texas one. I think we often forget that Texas is the biggest brand in college athletics, especially football. There’s a handful of others that are in the same echelon, but only like 5 schools. The rest are just more about the college football aggregate than a standalone thing.

    or, from Surlyhorns, right click the OTF thread and open in new tab...

    I need to see if I can just make the widget open in new tab for you. That would probably be better.
