@juliandorey This war started in 2011, what a doofus
2014. He should’ve been in on the humanitarian aid when Kev was bombing their own civilians in eastern Ukraine.
Killed 14,000 men women and children it’s all documented you fool

@uscfan981 Assuming this is college then Ricky Williams isn’t even the best Longhorn RB. That would be the Tyler Rose Earl Campbell

Multimillionaire son of Iran’s former Ambassador to Venezuela hits out at critics over his lavish lifestyle.
Sasha Sobhani has claimed he left Iran “with nothing, no money, no support” while saying he cannot understand people calling him “privileged.”
The rapper, who regularly shares photos of his private jets, fast cars, partying and designer handbags has told critics “If you’re searching for privileged kids, go find the real ones.”

@SoveyX How about calling it BeetleJuice. Something easy to remember

Did you know that a massive red supergiant star is about to explode?
It’s called Betelgeuse.
In astronomy terms, “about to” means sometime in the next ~100,000 years.
For context:
• Recorded human history is ~5,000 years
• Ancient Egypt lasted ~3,000 years
• The United States is ~250 years old
So if Betelgeuse explodes on that timeline, we’re still sitting at the very beginning of the countdown.
But when it does go, it won’t be subtle.
It could become visible in daylight, right there in Orion’s shoulder.
Not dangerous to Earth.
Just a front-row seat to a star putting on Coldplay’s Yellow, slipping into a nice warm bath, and saying goodbye, cruel universe.

@Hot_Pepper76 No Stxy, Foreigner, Bad Company, Tool, or Paramore??

@elonmusk Except the Diners will specialize in cheap carbs and toxic seed oils... sigh. We're tired of being poisoned for PROFITS.

@ItsTheEnforcer Wait ….Hitler and Mussolini had social media accounts?

@AlexDuncanTX Good grief… who says you must be a Muslim to enjoy halal meats. It’s actually quite healthy for you and it’s from Texas livestock helping out the ranchers. Get a grip clown.

@chiproytx Seriously if 20 million Chinese came to the United States tomorrow we would have MUCH BIGGER problems than that. I don’t think the 14th amendment even comes to mind.

@dickhertz176 @CompletedStreet You are the retard. No one lives on the Gulf of America, they live near the Gulf of Mexico.
English

@CompletedStreet Tbh, only stupid people live on the Gulf of America or on the coastline. It’s better to live in like ATX or San Antonio because the only thing we have to deal with is floods and snowstorms once every few years.

@elonmusk I like Grok for personal use cases. It's great for image generating, however A nthropic blows the door off both Grok and Chat GPT for business applications

@jantenbensel @DepSecVaden True lower fuel costs because of tax incentives but higher food costs. Play in your own sandbox and stay out of the energy market.

@DepSecVaden Saves money for consumers.
Offsets the imported oil coming through the strait of Hormuz

@HodlFlorida @dom_lucre Not accurate. In Texas assuming a HS exemption of soon to be 150,000 up from 100,000 tax would be around 400/mo
English

@dom_lucre The houses are cheap but your property taxes on a house like that are about $1,500/month on top of your mortgage in Houston

@mnolangray It was a supernova of growth before they started flooding us with immigrants, legal and illegal. Houston is unlivable now.
English

It's funny, Houston is this supernova of growth, the rare place in the US that is absorbing millions of domestic and international migrants and making them richer, but if you say anything nice about it, e.g. maybe non-zoning is fine, people have a meltdown.
Misha G.@tastybits
Houston economy is growing at 10.6%. That’s remarkable at this size.

The order attaches conditions on federal funds to universities which is in the right of the federal government to do. If a university fails to follow this condition then that university will be unable to receive FEDERAL funds period. BTW as an example the federal government attached minimum drinking age conditions to federal funds for roads which forced the states to pass laws restricting alcohol consumption to those of age 21 or older. That is just one example.

@GuntherEagleman As always…. He doesn’t have this power, will be overturned.
English

@Dkmoney120 @Underdog He does have the power to suspend their federal grant money which is a lot.
English

@Underdog How does he have the power to do that to college sports?
I hope they take his ass to court personally.

@gothburz According to LinkedIn, your no VP at Oracle, and this is BS.
English

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion.
On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM.
Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated."
The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership.
It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made."
By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received.
We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries.
In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not.
An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions.
The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport.
The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew.
That is retention.
Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%.
These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off.
We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day.
Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House.
The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin.
Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model.
Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot.
One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop.
The role is still open.
The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.
