AUSTIN MAN charged with murdering a man over a diamond watch just walked out of jail after a judge cut his bond. The victim posted photos of cash and a diamond Cartier watch online. Police say six people spent two weeks planning to take them. In Nov 2024, they blasted into his apartment, assaulted a woman, pointed a gun at a child, and shot the victim dead. Judaren Forbes, 22, is indicted for murder. He posted bond last week. Another judge then set bond at $1 on his open gun cases. When the victim was killed, Forbes was already out on bond in four cases. Highlights: 2022: Arrested carrying a gun. January 2023: Video shows him running into the street at a house party and firing an AR at a passing car. Prosecutors knocked the felony down to a misdemeanor. 60 days in jail. March 2023: Arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. DA Jose Garza's office declined to file it. Christmas Eve 2023: Arrested with another Glock. Out the next day. September 2024: He fled a trooper from a street takeover, crashed into another driver, hurled his Glock off an I-35 overpass, and jumped after it. Hours later he swore to police his car had been stolen. Ten weeks later, a man was killed. Five of the six home invasion suspects were already out on violent cases. The murder victim’s mother said they "should have never been free on bond." Now Forbes is back on the street.

We're starting with a condominium in New York City: artist-led, built in structural stone. Every apartment sits behind a work of art. Everyone on the street gets to see it, forever.

I notice none of Nikole Hannah-Jones' critics try to answer to the basic question she wrestled with, which is: Why should my daughter get to go to a better school than other people's kids just because I work for the New York Times?

In this clip, Presley Gerber exposes the pill industry trap: rehab puts you on one med, then another. He was calling out the rehab system itself. As Cindy Crawford’s son, that likely upset ppl. Tragic that it happened while he was in rehab which sounds very sus 👀

This isn’t reporting, but narrative creation. The AP connects this homicide to racially-motivated lynchings despite knowing it doesn’t fit the facts of the case, then does a story about others reacting to the connection they created.

The Three Little Pigs: Lefty, Middlesworth...and Jeff (the complete saga)

1977 interview - the dignity of Dolly Parton, while Barbara Walters does her best to humiliate and make her feel uncomfortable

New York bought a tunnel boring machine for roughly $8 million, used it once, and entombed it in concrete under Park Avenue. Digging it out would have cost $9 million. So they held a small ceremony, sealed the chamber, and walked away. That's the industry norm. When the Channel Tunnel was finished, machines on the British side were steered off the main line and buried under the seabed. One that made it out was auctioned on eBay for £39,999 and cut up for scrap. Boring machines get treated as single-use because retrieval requires a massive reception pit and cranes, which usually costs more than the machine itself. Which is why the quietly radical word in this update is "re-launch." Prufrock arrives on a truck, tilts down, and digs itself into the ground within 24 hours. No launch shaft. When the tunnel is done, it angles upward, breaks the surface, and mines its way onto a trailer that drives it to the next job. The Boring Company calls the maneuver porpoising. Prufrock-1 has already dug six tunnels this way. It's the SpaceX booster playbook underground. The biggest hidden cost in tunneling was throwing the machine away, so they built one that comes back. There's a second change buried in the design. Conventional soft-soil machines advance about 5 feet, stop, erect a concrete ring, then start again, so they spend roughly half their life not digging. Prufrock installs the liner while it mines. The company keeps a pet snail named Gary, because a garden snail tunnels 14 times faster than a conventional boring machine. Elon's stated definition of victory is beating the snail. Even at Prufrock's target of a mile per week, Gary still wins.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a mob of Black "teens" dragged a White female college student off her own porch BY HER HAIR, dragged her to a stop sign, and then beat her UNCONSCIOUS... TWICE... ...while a crowd stood around FILMING it!!! The girls called 911 **FIVE TIMES** that night, but police didn't show up until AFTER the beating was over. This happened near York College in Pennsylvania. A group of students, young White women, were on the porch of their off-campus house when a stranger walked up and picked a fight and a mob of Black "teens" rushed them. One of the girls was ripped off the porch by her hair, dragged to a stop sign, then roughly a dozen people jumped her at once, kicking and punching her from every angle while a crowd of up to 30 encircled her. She blacked out TWICE... once from a kick to the ribs and again from a blow to the back of the head. And the whole time, she says, people were recording it on their phones and laughing... filming her get beaten unconscious for entertainment. Her friends were dragged down the steps by their hair too. One was already in a knee brace, recovering from an injury. The girls say they called 911 FIVE separate times. The first calls went out BEFORE the violence even started, when a crowd was gathering and cars were street racing so recklessly that one of them smashed into a parked car next to the firehouse. Five calls. They were told each time that officers were coming. Officers didn't arrive until it was over. Students say this isn't new and that large crowds gather there constantly, and that another student was attacked just two weeks earlier by what they believe is the same group of non-students. "The cops haven't done anything to protect us, and campus safety hasn't done anything. It feels like they're scared to get involved with 'these' people, but then it puts us at risk when they're doing nothing." WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!
