This is Chad Eberle, a reserve police officer in Texas. Chad has a child with a Mexican woman, and they were in a custody dispute. Chad drove into Mexico and killed three people in relation to this dispute, as well as shooting the mother in the head. He was arrested trying to cross back into Texas with his son. This story hasn't gotten much traction, but we all know that if a Mexican man came to America and did this, it would be on a 24 hour loop on Fox News.

They say books won’t change the world. Tell that to every colonizer who burned them. To every enslaved person who was punished for reading. Literacy is resistance. Literacy is liberation. The library is a battlefield.

Unpopular opinion: The fact that they can quickly install data centers nationally means they could've been updating infrastructure which they claimed was too difficult and expensive.

Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!

Mind you, Stanford Stadium is completely open air. NOT designed with acoustics in mind. It’s a football stadium. For games. Stanford stadium is also below-grade bowl.

One of the most obvious things affecting the way sound travels is the lack of a roof canopy that we see in most stadiums. This means sound escapes straight up into the sky with no roof curves to bounce off back into the floor. This makes it less overwhelmingly loud. Sound is not bounding. It’s just escaping upwards and prevents the reverberation.

Second, Stanford stadium is built below ground level. So the dirt and the soil around the stadium act as acoustic absorbents. Most stadiums have concrete or steel walls, allowing sound waves to hit and vibrate back into the crowd. With Stanford, the waves are hitting earth. And gets dampened.

Third, Stanford Stadium’s strict local city noise ordinance means sound pressure decibels must be controlled. AND. The stadium has a built-in sound system using precision digital beam-steering technology. Where this technology is directly designed to aim audio towards crowds and prevent from spillage to the outside.

Four, atmospheric air pressure. We all saw that it was still daylight despite it being 8pm. Daylight affects sound waves due to thermal refraction. With the sun still out, air closest to the ground is hot. Air on top is cool. This causes sound waves coming from the bottom to travel faster upwards, bending over the crowd and out.

The opposite happens at night when theres no more sun bc the lower air cools down.

And lastly, as to why certain sections were louder than most, why someone from this section couldn’t hear people from the other sections. Same answer. It’s the lack of surfaces for soundwaves to bounce. No bouncing means it’s not travelling back and forth.

Remember, sound travels in concentric circles. Like water ripples. And like water ripples, they vibrate. So if they have surfaces to bounce against, vibration frequency increases. When the vibration frequency of the sound wave increases, the decibel of the sound you hear also increase. If there’s no surfaces to bounce. It escapes.

There. Hope this helps.

If you tell women to change their behaviour to avoid being raped, what you’re really saying is, “make sure he rapes the other girl instead.”

There will always be a woman who is more vulnerable less sober, less confident, with fewer friends around her, or walking alone in a darker part of town.
She deserves to be safe just as much as I do.
Safety shouldn’t depend on which woman was easier to target that night. The problem isn’t women’s behaviour. The problem is men who choose to commit rape as an act of violence.

How come brown and black people in western nations are called immigrants, but white people in Dubai are called expats?
Haven't come across a single instance so far where the terms are reversed.

ICE surround judge's car threatening to smash windows—then detain his high school intern.

Agents handcuff teenager to arrest him—until judge fights loudly to demand they check ID to confirm they have wrong person.

Court security noticed masked men sneaking pictures of the boy —so the judge stepped up to offer him a ride home because he was so scared he was visibly shaking.

After a heated argument ICE agents finally admit they had made a mistake and just quietly left the courthouse empty handed.

Judge Joseph J. McBurney is an Associate Justice of the Rhode Island Superior Court—located in Providence, Rhode Island. #DemsUnited

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

🚨 AOC just confirmed what’s been obvious for weeks:

House Republicans are refusing to reconvene because the vote to release the Epstein Files is ready and they’re stalling to stop it.

They won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva.
They shut down the government.
All to keep the truth buried six feet deeper.

I think the biggest lesson I've learnt from dating is the minute you're confused about how they feel for you, you should just leave. You should only be confused about small things like what birthday gift you should get them, not if they even like you or want to be with you.

Welch nailed it:

“JD Vance is married to an Indian woman. He has mixed-race children. If he won’t even defend them—his own family—from white supremacist jokes and Hitler worship… what makes you think he gives a damn about you?”

If a man won’t stand for his own, he’ll sell out anyone. MAGA included.

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.
