@FreedomATX Sounds like it was one mother plucker of a visit. 😢

@LiberalLibrarian We're keepin' a close eye on the kiddo's campus. Second encampment just went up. They double majored, so we've got three ceremonies to attend altogether - and after missing HS graduation because of the pandemic, anything missing with this one will NOT make them happy.

@Synical Just to put this into perspective vis a vis my alma mater, UCLA.

It has 46,000 students and 3,000 faculty. Two hundred people were arrested. I'd wager no more than half of them were students. So these chucklefucks screwed with their classmates to make an empty gesture that won't end the war.

@LiberalLibrarian I'm all for those that want to advocate for something they believe in (assuming it's not illegal or threatens anyone's safety).

But I almost feel a bit bad for those students that have allowed themselves to be misled about the potential consequences of their actions. Making an over-the-top gesture to draw attention usually isn't the answer in the Real World (tm).

'Cause there's nothing the world likes more than the taste of your hopes, dreams, and salty tears when you FAFO.

Fun fact: To get my job with County, I had to bring my diploma to the interview.

I'm sure this will help Gazans.

Just finished ordering graduation signs for the yard. Might be time for an early Irish Coffee... and perhaps a check for (more) gray hairs.

@WeThePeople Woudn't it be a helluva thing if Ford released a statement saying something like "We'd be proud to accept any of the exceptional members of the Supercharger and Tesla team into our family, where they can continue their innovative and amazing work in an environment that values them as a complete person."?

Here’s the email Elon Musk sent to Tesla staffs today. Have a read and let’s know what you think.
Tesla Team,
People are acting like lazy millennials and treating this like a 9 to 5. This is unacceptable. Go work at Ford if you want to mail it in.
Effective immediately, we're implementing a new "Tesla Hardcore" initiative.

@AnnetteTRemain Thank you for reinforcing my point. Your use of pejorative terms indicates a desire to be recognized for your hot takes. While this may not have been your expressed intent, it's how you appear to me. I also suggest you review my previous post from yesterday:

Have a blessed day!

@AnnetteTRemain I would caution against using such a wide brush to color individuals with. Not all democrats side with all protestors, nor do all republicans wear red MAGA hats.

@th3j35t3r BUT THEY TOLD ME NOT TO CLICK THE BIG RED BUTTON!!

And now I'm traumatized by buttons. Fearful, even. I may in fact, be in need of slide-rule therapy.

*wanders off in search of coffee*

@process I like to think I disagree with the conspiracies that conspire to keep us from compromising with one another... but then I start to wonder if I'm not an unwitting member of a counter-conspiracy, and usually get distracted until I have a nice cup of coffee.

Per Texas DPS - 46 out of 77 arrests at yesterday’s protest were not UT students.

To all those condemning the NYPD's actions tonight at Columbia University:
1) Do you have all the facts at hand, or are you reacting to what you've heard/seen from media orgs or influencers seeking likes or more clicks.
2) Are you reacting because the police got involved in general?
3) There is a distinct difference in protest groups. Look no further than the DC PD's interactions with GW peaceful protests.

And if it turns out the Columbia "protestors" are unaffiliated with the school what then?

@Jess Yep. I remember the thing that agitated us the most when I was living on campus, was which party we were going to that night/week.

Of course, that was long before social media and instant news cycles were a way of life. Heck, back then if anyone started saying we needed to do something "Right Here, Right Now," we'd probably start singing Jesus Jones lyrics at 'em!

Know what wouldn't suck? If you guys grabbed the above screenshot and description and posted for you friends and followers on other social networks.

COSO shines anyhoo, but in unfolding situations like this it glows👍

@Brisse Sure haven't!!

But I did:

analyze -s "2019/05/01 10:00:00" -e "2019/05/01 15:00:00" backbone | tcpdump -r - -n | grep IP | cut -f 3 -d ' ' | cut -f 1-4 -d . | sort -n | uniq -c | more
