LA immigration protests live updates: 700 Marines deployed to Los
Angeles

Tensions are escalating in Los Angeles after protests against
Immigration and Customs Enforcement gripped the city on Sunday, with demonstrators clashing with law enforcement and setting vehicles on
fire downtown.

President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to "address
the lawlessness," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob
Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully
"trampled over" California's sovereignty when they federalized the
California National Guard.

Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh ooh ooh)"

AI Overview

Buffalo Springfield

The lines "What a field day for the heat. A thousand people in the
street" are from the 1966 Buffalo Springfield song, "For What It's
Worth". The song describes a youth protest or counterculture
gathering, where a large number of people are out in the streets. The
lyrics suggest a chaotic or tense atmosphere, with the police possibly intervening

I'm starting to think Gov Newson is less interested in whatever the F
happens in Los Angeles, and more interested in using the events as
talking points and a platform for building his now-obvious future
presidential candidacy platform.

I hope the Millennial and Z generations do away with this whole chapter
and its two tired political parties*, and come up with something new.

By 2028, someone will have created a completely synthetic AI persona
whom you can watch, listen to and even talk to on your smartphone. No
TV, no rallies, just on-line via a free app.

There has to be a potential return on building those exabyte
multi-$billion data centers that need a river for cooling and have
their own dedicated nuclear power plants. Imagine that you can chat
one on one with the presidential candidate! Imagine that Google
legally owns the presidential candidate!

SCOTUS will have to decide on an interpretation of "born". If a
corporation can be a "person" and money is "speech", is a program a
person and its output speech? Even if it's from his/her/its/their
silicon untimely ripp'd?

Never followed this topic, but there are thousands plus who talk to
some AI "thing"

In earlier days, Chautauqua was a big deal in rural America

"At the height of the Chautauqua Movement, around 1915, some 12,000
communities had hosted a chautauqua. Many of the lecturers and
performers were contracted by chautauqua agencies, the most notable of
which was the Redpath Agency in Iowa. The quality of the offerings
varied from Vassar-educated lecturers and Shakespeare to animal acts
and vaudeville farce." https://www.chautauqua.com/2021/chautauqua-movement-history/
