Random Monday Morning Thoughts




The Messenger tried for months to get the offense reports on what happened out there, but the Wise County Sheriff's office would never release them. 


  • That's a pretty dramatic photo from Friday. "A cell phone worker is in critical condition after coming into contact with a high-voltage wire at the top of a cell tower in Burleson."


  • Oh, my. He was transported to Parkland. "While fleeing, the teen jumped over a concrete security fence into the power supply terminal, at which point he was electrocuted and a fire started, police said." But it all started when police were called because the teen was threatening to "hurt himself."
     


  • The cry to "round up all those Mexicans" is about to become worse and worse. 

  • So we are basically going to make a reality show out of the round ups?

  • The equivalent of the Brown Shirts/Stormtroopers are coming. Story


  • It's always a big deal when a police officer gets indicted for murder in the line of duty. It should be a big deal when the case is suddenly dismissed. The Tarrant County D.A.'s office didn't even release a statement. The case just quietly went away.

  • Trump and Colombia got into a verbal skirmish yesterday. During the middle of it, the White House released an official statement and misspelled the country's name.


  • Told you it would happen. But it was a close vote on Friday night.  VP Vance had to be called in to break the tie. 


  • Did I mention how the Tarrant County Republican Chairman is crazy?

  • The Business Second™.  I don't know if this is a big deal or not. "Chinese startup DeepSeek – which has soared to #1 on Apple's app store chart – presented a ChatGPT-like AI model called R1, which has all the familiar abilities, operating at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI's, Google's or Meta's popular AI models."

     

  • In the official Twitter post by the Cowboys on Friday announcing their new head coach, they couldn't somehow couldn't find a photo that wasn't reversed.

  • So I finally watched Landman.  It's both horrible and entertaining.
