I heard a surprisingly on point story on KUT yesterday debunking the outside agitator trope. Definitely felt related to this discourse.

Is KUT considered untrustworthy these days??

I believe this is the text version.

KUT posted:

On Wednesday, [Delia] Garza told KUT the university's statement — and its insistence that demonstrators had "guns, buckets of large rocks, bricks, steel-enforced wood planks, mallets and chains" — was "interesting."

“It’s concerning … we work in the world of evidence and facts, and we have not seen a single weapons charge or an assault charge," she said.

Garza, whose office prosecutes misdemeanors, said she has asked UT Austin to reexamine its policy of arresting protesters for criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor similar to loitering, calling it "unsustainable." The protests have led to nearly 140 arrests for misdemeanors.

People are legally allowed to carry a weapon on campus. However, if they're committing a crime, like criminal trespassing, they could be arrested for unlawful carrying of a weapon, a misdemeanor.

Garza said after reading UT Austin's statement Tuesday, she expected to see some of that reflected in arrest affidavits from the University of Texas Police Department, the arresting agency. She didn't.

"I don't know why they are saying that," she said.

Uh... Kupo?

guns and chains? sounds like their definition of 'demonstrator' includes the cops

Except during pledge drive, when she's reminding you that no where else provides great reporting like the time and temperature every three minutes. That's right Jennifer, I'm Hawk Mendenhall, associate director of programming here at KUT, and you won't find the time and temperature every three minutes anywhere else but KUT. It's a service you use, shouldn't you pay for it?

3 days ago, radio host Jeff Ward went off on Greg Abbott for the poor handling of the protests. Both the hypocrisy on free speech and that this is the same DPS Director who was in charge at the time of Uvalde who lied and nothing happened to him.

Jeff Ward believes government's only role should be to improve the traffic in Austin and it should stay out of everyone else's business otherwise.

I had a coworker who would tell the server to not add it to his plate.

I would put it and remaining food scraps on the tortillas to make taco type things.

Request it not be added. If that’s ignored, hope it doesn’t touch any of the actual food. If it did, trim away the infected areas and set them aside, because the hint of lettuce flavor it leaves behind is absolutely disgusting.
