    Whatever, they're all dirty mexicans from one of those many mexican countries.

    The office of the president of the United States has declared open war on every single person in the US of hispanic heritage.  They have sent forth troops who are LITERALLY AND UNASHAMEDLY using "you look hispanic" as a basis for detaining and arresting people.  It is now "probable cause" in the US if you.....are hispanic.

    You either are for that, or against it.  Pick your fucking side right now, fuckers.  History is going to judge the fuck out of you, as will I.

    Also, really super surprising that the "Libertarians" have gone completely silent on civil liberties...

    I mean....imagine truthfully stating a scenario in which:

    - men in disguises, displaying no badges or other legitimate identification as actual law enforcement, refuse to identify themselves, and are just driving up and grabbing people and tossing them into vans.

    - those same men are pulling over people based solely on their ethnic appearance, saying they "meet the description of someone I'm looking for."

    - those same men are detaining, arresting, and even disappearing US citizens without actual charges, or allowing them access to counsel or even to inform their families where they are.

    - those same men are doing these activities in homes, schools, church parking lots, and the like.

    - they are doing so in furtherance of a policy where its proponents have stated that all 65 million members of an entire ethnicity are not entitled to exist within the United States (I'm not making this one up, by the way - one of the president's chief advisors, Laura Loomer, said flatly that there are 65 million illegals in the US -- that number is the number of all hispanics in the US)

    - authorities are gathering records of all individuals who speak a language other than the preferred language of the regime (again, yes, this is actually happening) for the purpose of arresting such people

    and saying that was happening in the People's Republic of Bumfuckistan, and all of our resident FREEDOM LIBERTY EAGLE FREEDOM LIBERTARIAN crowd would be saying "see, that's a shithole country, that's exactly the kind of shit we are ever-vigilant against, and it's why I carry my pew pew bang everywhere I go, no way am I gonna let that shit happen here!"

    Yet when it happens here.....every one of them lets that shit happen, and in fact cheers it on.

    The greatest political lie of the last 75 years is "I'm a libertarian."  Fuck that, they were all always just fascists who dressed sloppy.

    whoa, now.... let's not get carried away. it was the day the message was delivered in Texas, but I would say the treatment "stopped" that day.

     

    Fair....but not entirely fair.

    Subhuman?  Oh, Texas kept playing that song till....well, what time is it right now?

    But the actual "property" part did end that day, as a practical matter.  So, give Texas credit for the technicality win of "fine, we can't treat them like property any more....but we can still treat them like utter shit, just watch us."  So.....hooray for enlightened Texas.

  5. Cool, cool.  Halfway through summer, the chances of big fucking mean hurricanes goes up, and this winter, the chances of a cold and snowy winter goes up.

    Looking forward to the year of Harvey II, Fuck You Boogaloo, and Snowpocalypse the Second: the Return of Freezing Your Balls Off in Your House.

    Not as of 5 years ago per the research below and not based on my Taiwanese national friends and his medical doctor wife who left Taiwan to come to the US based on concerns regarding China. Or... the rest of his family who now lives in the US.

    I could go on. 

    And if you think there are no dialect differences between Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese Mandarin, I'm sure you think people in Boston speak like people in Kentucky. That's before dismissing all the other dialects found in China. But you're right, officially they speak the same language.

    This fucking place. 

    I mean, the Taiwanese will only put pee-pee in your DIET Coke, so there's obviously a pretty big difference there.

    I think Walter Isaacson is right and he's going to merge Tesla and X/Xai or whatever.

    100%.  It's going to become like a Nestle of shitty "tech-ish" brands.  Each of which functions to conceal the shittiness of the other brands in the portfolio, while simultaneously being a shit brand itself.  It'll be a conglomeration of shit brands doing this to each other to avoid any negativity and boost total stock price to irrational and insane levels disconnected from any actual value:

    Add another attempted murder to the long list of violent actions directly inspired by mainstream GOP talking points.

    Mark this:

    Quote

    “Crimes like Douglas Cornett’s — acts of hate-motivated violence — victimize not just the individual, but harm families, communities and groups by robbing them of their sense of security,” said Erik S. Siebert, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, in a press release. “Every person has a right to live free of the fear of violence and the menace of hate, and my office is committed to eliminating both.”

    Because 1) Cornett will be pardoned within the next year, and 2) Erik Siebert will be run out of the US Attorney's office before this year is out.

    The Regime WANTS shit like this to happen.  This is a policy SUCCESS, not a crime.

    I think you said you were a global alliances guy in big tech because we had some chuckles poking fun at Atos and Cognizant the other day. 

    Here is what I'll tell you-- take it with a grain of salt and for how much you paid for such sage internet advice:

    Now is not the time to get antsy and underwhelmed and start ruminating how you are wasting away your life and having a career-life crisis. The job market for people like you (e.g. good money and things are good) is extremely tight right now. I have a friend who does what you do who can't get an equivalent job after being laid off at big tech a year ago. He's thinking about selling his boat it's that bad. He's had a few interviews that go to panel but ultimately don't get them as the market is lousy with ex-aws, ex-google, ex-salesforce, ex-SAP, ex-microsoft, etc. etc. all vying for the same $400-500k OTE jobs, which are shrinking.

    In fact my friend at AWS who has a global alliances role said they aren't even hiring at L7's for the roles anymore like when he got on-- L6 or less.

    The blueprint is out for how to do more with less operationally in tech (just read the latest from microsoft this week and from andy jassey today). I think we are about to enter into a (brief) time where things are going to degrade for sales bros and, if you are an old, you definitely need to hang on and keep cranking out good work where you are and maybe pick up a gratitude journal hobby for when you start feeling job-wanderlust.

    All that, but also --and this is no offense to you-- but you probably think you are better than you are because you are comfortable, well-liked, make good money and do well to attain in an ecosystem and organization you've learned and get.

    But by all means, put some fillers out and see what sort of bites and conversations you can get and stress test it for yourself, but I think we are entering into a time of retrenchment.

    I think he's going to completely destroy Tesla.  It's not going to have any value at that point.

    You are dead fucking wrong.

    There are three economic constituencies in this world: 1) rational actors, 2) meme stock investors/bros/koolaid drinkers, and 3) larger investors who ride and exploit the trends of group 2.

    Groups 2 and 3 would keep the value of "Flaming Bag of Dog Shit Enterprises, with a Tech Bro Leader who says lots of Tech Bro stuff" near the top of the charts.  Actual commercial value has nothing to do with it.  Tesla may end up having shit for actual commercial value, yet will remain one of the most valuable companies on earth, because meme stocks/bros/exploiters.

    I mean, it continues to be fucking fantastic.  Does he have any CONTRARY facts?  Of course not.  But he does have "a tremendous brain, really the best brain, people are saying it's the best brain anyone has ever seen.  I have intelligence at levels never seen before, and my intelligence is better than the so-called 'intelligence community,' so I know these things.  But who knows?  Maybe they have nuclear, maybe they don't.  Tremendous word, 'nuclear,' I was the first person to ever say it, even before my uncle who taught at MIT."

    Any of you guys ever been in a place where things are generally good, you're making good money, but you're so fucking bored you can barely stand to log in in the mornings?

    I'm waiting for the Waffle House AI system.  It will be an advanced algorithm that balances whether a customer is likely to start a fight, or is likely to back up staff when a fight happens, will do so while not spilling any of their hash browns which are smothered and covered, or will try to raid the cash register while staff is distracted in a fight.  It will scour the internet for data to build a file on each customer, but it will start with 1) arrest records on meth charges, and 2) appearances on Worldstarhiphop.com (and/or any videos on other platforms where a participant simply yells "WORLDSTAR!" as chaos unfolds).

  14. I’m getting info of what’s going on down in the Valley right now, including information being gathered by government forces. I can’t share specifics, but it’s….not good.
    Guys, wherever it is that you were afraid of going…we’re there. If you are Hispanic, you are the prey, and they are not too concerned about whether they get your citizenship/immigration status right. Speaking Spanish as your preferred language is enough, for example (and I know a crapload of US citizens in the region who speak Spanish as their sole/primary language).
    If you are non-Hispanic and you are ok with this, then you now know EXACTLY what you would have done as a non-Jewish German in the 1930s.

  15. I am actually more pissed that in both incidents reviewed where officer road rage physically assualted an innocent civilian just to do it... in BOTH FUCKING VIDS theres another fucking cop there.... just standing there.... and that other cop never fucking filed a report against the asshole who was clearly on the downswing of a roid rage. 

    And this is why ACAB. If the person committing assault was a non-cop, every sane person would expect the other cop to jump in and protect the citizen. But because the criminal is a cop, the other cop just stands by, providing de facto support.
    Hey cop, your job is to protect me, even from your brother officer if that’s the threat. But they never do that. Never. Ever.
    Because….say it with me, folks, you know the words….ALL COPS ARE BAD.

  16. I can speak to this after a recent visit to ER with my pops. Awful experience. 
     
     

    BTW, the “secret ER” in Austin is…the Heart Hospital next to Central Market. It’s a full ER, we’ve never had a wait.

  17. The other day I got a message saying we (State agency) were closed because the county building where are offices are is closed.  Digging into it a bit, I realized that Emancipation Day is a "Skeleton Crew Holiday" for State agencies, i.e., office is supposed to be open and minimal staff is required.  So if you take off, you don't use vacation time and if you show up you get comp time.  That's fine, but I find it a bit weird that that Texas, the state in which Juneteenth originated and first was recognized, doesn't treat it as a full-blown holiday in state government.

    You find it weird? Do you really? A holiday celebrating the day we stopped treating black people like subhuman property is not looked upon kindly by state leadership…and you don’t find that totally on-brand?
