I mean what the fuck does it matter? Austin has already jumped the shark. 
I'd rather live in Dallas or Houston. The populace in Austin has become insufferable.

Never heard of that guy, so why should anyone give a shit?

The only people in that article I have ever heard of are Rogan and Gillis.

Sounds like some of these people just moved here because Rogan did. I mean who the fuck moves here thinking it’s going to be like LA or NYC?

The Austin voters seem to be voting for a more relaxed judicial system, setting priority on prosecuting police corruption.  Stuff like this is no longer surprising (not to mention the latest guy who shot at police officers and was let off with probation).

Do you have your own radio show? It's not good sophistry, but it's good enough for the right audience.

I finally read the article and, man, I hope that whole crew all talks to each other and collectively agrees to F off to somewhere else.  I mean, the list of names tells me I am very supportive of them leaving including some D-bag who calls himself Lucky Blue Smith.  

Oh... and how I know Tim Dillon does not know a thing about Austin, "'It's not the live music capital of America. It's three heroin addicts busking with guitars. There's zero talent here in any capacity,' he raged."  What a total moron.

Discussion of these idiots and douchebags leaving town, should actually be on the "great things about Austin" thread that you started. :)

Garza’s gotta go

Suspect in Austin business break-ins arrested 2 days after release from jail

Austin business owners are expressing frustration after a suspect was arrested a second time for multiple store break-ins.

Now that Henderson has been arrested once again, the business owners are upset a judge let him out of jail after the first six incidents.
 

 

Spoiler

AUSTIN, Texas — Local business owners throughout Austin are concerned after a series of break-ins at their stores. Police arrested a man for a second time on Wednesday, in connection with several burglaries throughout the city.

According to the Austin Police Department, 34-year-old Jarvis Henderson was arrested on July 15 because he was believed to be behind burglaries at six different businesses. He was released on July 21 on a personal recognizance bond.

 

Then, Henderson was again on July 23, accused of burglarizing a seventh business.

"The fact that he continues to get away with this and then is so comfortable doing it to multiple small businesses," said Casey Buckingham, owner of The Plant Society. "It's really confusing that this isn't enough to, you know, keep him away."

Buckingham's shop was one of the original six businesses that were broken into early last week. She had a shocking wake-up call when she checked her phone's security footage early on the morning of July 14.

"I was actually half asleep, really confused, looking at it, and was watching the robbery like, in real time as he was just rummaging through my store," Buckingham said. 

After calling the police, Buckingham showed up to find her double-pane glass door shattered and the iPad and card reader stolen. She said even though only a few items were taken, the burglary set her back in day-to-day operations of the shop.

“It was scary," Buckingham said. "It just felt violating."

La Plancha on East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard is another of the businesses that got hit. Neighbors of the owner called her, saying that the window had been smashed. When she got there, she found the suspect had taken two beers from her cooler and left it open, causing damage. 

The window and cooler repair combined will cost about $5,000, but what's more concerning for the owner is the new fear she has. 

"I'm waking up every day, hoping to not see another window broken," La Plancha's ower siad. "It's just a lot ... This is our livelihood. I mean, this is our everything."

After comparing security footage with other local business owners, the owner of La Plancha realized several of them appeared to have been broken into by the same person. Now that Henderson has been arrested once again, the business owners are upset a judge let him out of jail after the first six incidents. 

 

"Why is he back out continually doing it?" Buckingham said. "Like, will he go to the same places? Will he do it again?"

KVUE reached out to Henderson's attorney for a comment, but we have not received anything back yet.

The interesting part is how much more Austin is like LA since that douchenozzle left in 2020, including the assload of new quality restaurants that have opened since then.  If he only had some patience.

Internet justice is swift and unforgiving. 

If only we could say the same about the actual justice that'll be rendered. 

The Cro-Magnon will post bail within 12 hours and commence the process of being a piece of shit to someone else.

But what if the Cro-Magnon was an off-duty cop?  Does that change the story?

The odds of those three meatheads being Austin residents are low.   Troglodytes from the surrounding areas tend to crowd out locals at the watering spots on the weekends, and also tend to be the ones committing a lot of the violence and other crimes.

I see y'all still don't understand how bail and pretrial detention work.  Garza is a huge turd, but for not prosecuting, not for failing to keep petty criminals locked up for weeks or months prior to trial.

AI Data Centers in Texas Used 463 Million Gallons of Water, Residents Told to Take Shorter Showers

According to a July 2025 investigation by The Austin Chronicle, data centers across Central Texas are consuming millions of gallons of water every day. This comes as many residents are being asked to reduce their usage due to dwindling supplies.

The problem is not limited to one city. In San Antonio, Microsoft and U.S. Army Corps facilities used a combined 463 million gallons of water in 2023 and 2024, according to local water utility SAWS. That’s the equivalent of usage for tens of thousands of households.

Stargate and the scale of AI

The Stargate campus in Abilene is expected to become one of the largest AI data centers in the world. Microsoft has partnered with OpenAI to develop advanced infrastructure capable of supporting the next generation of large language models. What’s received far less attention is how much water it will take to keep that infrastructure running.

“These centers are showing up in places that are very water-stressed, said Margaret Cook, a water policy analyst at the Houston Advanced Research Center. There’s no requirement for them to have conversations with communities about how much water they’ll use.”

Cook pointed out that these projects often break ground with little notice, largely due to regulatory loopholes. Texas law prevents most local authorities from regulating or even tracking how much water a facility consumes.

A surge with little oversight

According to the Chronicle article, a white paper submitted to the Texas Water Development Board projected that data centers in the state will consume 49 billion gallons of water in 2025. That number is expected to rise to 399 billion gallons by 2030, nearly 7% of the state’s total projected water use.

“People don’t think of data centers as industrial water users, but they are,” said Robert Mace, executive director of The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University.

In the Hill Country region, where several new AI-focused centers are under construction, locals are sounding the alarm. Not only do these facilities demand significant water for evaporative cooling, but much of that water evaporates and cannot be recycled. While some facilities rely on recycled water, many still draw heavily from drinking water supplies.

“Once that water evaporates, it’s just gone,” Mace told The Austin Chronicle.
