Austin taxes us and spends over $6 billon every year. The city does not get audited. Not for spending, not for waste, not for performance. That's why tens of thousands of Austinites put our Audit on the Nov 3 ballot. It will make publicly visible, independent audits the law.

BREAKING: SpaceX wins FCC approval for its 15,000-satellite Direct-to-Cell constellation. The order also includes a conditional U.S. waiver of satellite power limits, advancing SpaceX’s push to expand mobile coverage beyond the reach of cell towers.

The DEA has released its updated report confirming what advocates and researchers have pointed out for years: there has never been a reported cannabis overdose death. Meanwhile, the CDC reports about 178,000 people die from excessive drinking each year. marijuanamoment.net/there-ar…

VISUALIZATION🚨: This is what happened in your brain when you read.

A Chinese-owned mine dumped 50 million liters of toxic sludge into the river that supplies drinking water to 5 million Zambians. Sino-Metals Leach's tailings dam breached in February 2025, flooding the Kafue River. Zambian communities are now suing the company. It's not an isolated accident. Allegations of abuse linked to Chinese mining in Africa doubled in a single year, from 45 to 100. The Democratic Republic of Congo alone recorded 52 cases. Ten Chinese companies account for nearly two-thirds of every allegation tracked. These are the mines feeding the batteries and solar panels sold as the clean energy future. genocidewatch.com/single-pos…

I recently learned that the entire country of Canada has fewer MRI machines than the state of Pennsylvania, despite having 3x the population. That's wild... The median time for a scan is over 4 months. 💀 brokencountry.com

On the 13th of August 2026, SynMax's maritime domain awareness platform, Theia, detected the sanctioned tanker ZALIV VOSTOK (IMO 9360130) alongside the FSU UMBA, a sanctioned floating storage unit used for the storage and transfer of Russian crude oil, at anchor in Kola Bay, Russia. The two vessels were assessed to be conducting a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer. The following day, the ZALIV VOSTOK was imaged departing Kola Bay. Approximately four weeks later, on the 11th of September, Theia identified her again, this time in the Sea of Japan south of Nakhodka, Russia, alongside the sanctioned Sierra Leone-flagged tanker CECILA (IMO 9247792). Again, the behavior of the two vessels was consistent with a STS transfer. AIS data was not received from either vessel during the operation. Following the interaction, the CECILA made for Qingdao Port, China, where she was imaged alongside on the 18th of September. Theia was able to track the ZALIV VOSTOK and the CECILA by automatically fusing more than 40 million km² of daily satellite imagery with AIS and SAR data, among others, rather than relying on any single source. SynMax's Agentic AI platform, Atlas, allows analysts to surface suspicious behavior globally, alerting analysts to vessels of interest in near real time and carrying the analysis forward when the transponders go quiet.

1.8 MILLION DNA SAMPLES. ZERO BACKLOG. When we took over, the FBI Lab was buried under 1.8 million federally collected DNA samples — with roughly 75,000 more coming in every month. We surged personnel, invested roughly $50 million in upgrades, streamlined the entire pipeline, and put advanced technology and Rapid DNA to work. Result: 1.8 MILLION samples processed. Backlog ELIMINATED. Thousands of investigations already aided. First time in FBI history. That means more DNA profiles connecting criminals to evidence, more cases getting solved, and safer streets for American families. We said we were going to bring results back to the FBI. -DKP🇺🇸

If you want to understand why healthcare is so expensive, I'd start with a Supreme Court case about teeth whitening. Around 2003, spas and small kiosks in North Carolina were offering teeth whitening for a fraction of what dentists charge. So dentists complained to the state dental board. That dental board looks like this: - 6 of 8 are practicing dentists, elected by other dentists - 8 of the 10 who sat on the board during this period earned substantial fees from whitening The board sent 47+ cease-and-desist letters, warning non-dentists that they're committing a crime by practicing dentistry without a license. The board also sent letters to mall operators, advising them to expel whitening kiosks. All this worked! These kiosks shut down, prices stayed high, dentists stayed happy. Regulatory capture like this exists all over in healthcare. What makes this case notable is that someone actually sued the NC dental board, in a case that went all the way to the supreme court. In a 6-3 ruling, the SC ruled that if a board is run by those who participate in the market without proper supervision - that looks like a cartel, therefore, antitrust law applies. I have to believe there are so many other potential cases like this in healthcare, just waiting to be pressed on. I'd love to see more of this.

Could AI and robots send productivity into overdrive? ⚡ On @ETFPrime, Skylar Capital Management’s @bp22 raises a question those ambitious forecasts depend on: Can the power supply keep up?

SpaceX just revealed 60% of its planned 10GW AI compute is for its own use. Here's what you need to know. Jukan, an X account that follows the stock, posted that 60% of $SPCX's 10GW goes to its own demand. Only 40% is for external customers. Jukan asked if that's because the Grok bot has been a hit. The post has about 99K views. SpaceX shares closed at $158.96, up 7.35%. The buildout is big. Elon Musk told employees in August that xAI's data center capacity will grow 7x to 10GW by late 2027. Current capacity is about 1.3GW to 1.4GW, in Memphis and Southaven. SpaceX aims to pass 2GW by the end of this year. A 20GW long-term goal has also been reported. The split for the first 10GW is 60% internal and 40% external. Internal users are xAI, SpaceX and Tesla. External customers are Anthropic and Google. SpaceX also signed a compute contract worth $13.3B a year. Musk estimates 10GW could bring $300B to $500B in annual revenue. SpaceX spent about $15.8B on AI infrastructure in Q2. SpaceX is also vertically integrating to get around bottlenecks. It is reportedly reverse engineering racks and chillers, and developing its own optical fiber. Jukan asked how it avoids patent and IP lawsuits. Analysts are weighing in. One estimate says 6GW of internal use could be monetized at $50B or more per GW each year, and some uses could reach $100B per GW. James Chanos says 20GW on the ground in 18 months costs about $1T, and could be made obsolete by space-based data centers. Morgan Stanley's Adam Jonas keeps a $300 price target, about 99% upside. He says shares look unusually cheap ahead of Starship Flight 15. He asked 40 clients who owns $SPCX, and no hand went up. Morgan Stanley also says SpaceX and Tesla share tech, talent and infrastructure. Key numbers: - 10GW target by late 2027, up from about 1.4GW - 60% internal, 40% external - $13.3B annual compute contract - $15.8B AI infrastructure spend in Q2 - $300B to $500B possible annual revenue - $158.96 share price, up 7.35%, highest since July 6 - $300 Morgan Stanley target SpaceX plans to keep most of its 10GW of AI compute for itself.

We’re looking to set up operations in Austin. Anyone know of an industrial warehouse we could use?

This ACL I became a Stone Temple Pilots fan

AUSTIN MAN choked a family member, carried a gun he was banned from owning, and drove drunk after a violent fight with his ex on a highway overpass. Each time, he walked away with a few days in jail. He was just arrested for selling cocaine at Barton Springs. He’s already back on the street on a bond. Mark Vara was one of four men rounded up last month in APD's sting at the free side of the pool after a series of break-ins. In 2020, Vara was arrested for choking a family member. He skipped court and disappeared for months. When he was finally caught, DA Jose Garza's office knocked the felony down to a misdemeanor. He got two days in jail. In 2023, he was caught carrying a gun, which he wasn't legally allowed to have because of that conviction. Police also said he snuck pot into jail. Garza's office declined the jail charge and reduced the gun charge. He got five days. In February of last year, a 911 caller's line picked up what sounded like a physical fight. Deputies found Vara on the Highway 71 overpass, his car half-blocking a lane, driver's window shattered, clothes caked in mud, holding his dog. His ex-gf was gone because a stranger helped her get a ride to a gas station. He skipped court on that one too. Three days in jail. Three months after that sentence, police say he was dealing cocaine at Barton Springs. His bonded out with $2,500. 15 cases since 2012. Every felony charge dismissed, declined, or reduced. Longest sentence: 90 days.

I'm a firm believer pinatas are too tough.
