I approve. If Musk can get some percent of the libertarian techbros to vote for him instead of the Republicans he can do some real damage to right wing re-election chances. He's got enough money to throw at it and the exact right "I must be right, it's my idea after all" attitude to keep pushing long after its failed.

lol.

Last year, in an effort to capitalize on anti-woke backlash, Dr. Phil (real name Phil McGraw) launched his own TV channel, which he said would be used to fight the good fight against the far left’s radical crazies. Merit Street Media, according to McGraw, would be a vanguard in the battle for the soul of America.

“Merit Street Media will be a resource of information and strategies to fight for America and its families, which are under a cultural ‘woke’ assault as never before,” said McGraw at the time. “I love this country and I believe family is the backbone of our society. Together we are going to stand strong and fight for the very soul and sanity of America and get things that matter back on track.”

Merit Street partnered with Trinity Broadcasting Network, which calls itself the “most-watched faith-and-family broadcasting network” in the world.
Apparently, "faith-and-family" and anti-woke have not mixed all that well.
Since then, things have not gone particularly well for the TV mogul’s company. Last summer, just a few months after it launched, the company laid off 28 staff members, which was purported to be over a third of its staff at the time. Then, last month, Merit Street laid off another 40 employees, culling the staff further.

This week, Merit Street also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Variety reports. At the same time, the company has sued TBN, and accused it of sabotaging the business, the outlet notes. Merit Street claims that TBN has “abused its position as the controlling shareholder” and that, as a result, Merit Street was forced to “pay or incur obligations to third parties in excess of $100 million.”

Several dozen dead, more still missing after massive flooding in central Texas

KERR COUNTY, Texas – At least 43 people have died and 27 girls from Camp Mystic are still missing due to flooding along the Guadalupe River in the Texas Hill Country on the Fourth of July.

In a Saturday evening news conference, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said that those who died, 15 are children. Twelve adults and five children have not been identified.
Flood watches were issued Thursday afternoon for the overnight hours, and around 1 AM on Friday the NWS issued flood and flash-flood warnings for the Hill Country region northwest of San Antonio as persistent rainstorms dumped several inches of rain over the same area.

There are several children's summer camps in Kerr County along the banks of the flooding-prone Guadalupe River. The county itself is rural and very poor and the government there doesn't have very many resources for combating emergencies; it's also unknown whether or how the camps themselves were monitoring weather alerts, or if they did anything to heed them assuming they received them.

This was from Friday morning. Watch how long it takes a nearly dry to creek to start overflowing its banks, and then a lot more than that.

You'll have to full-screen the video, it's formatted really weirdly. It is also cut several times, the person who took it said the original was about 30 minutes long.

ETA forget that weird cut up version, here's the original video, just skip around as you wish:


Compare the location seen at 3:00, and then the same location as seen at 25:00
