7. San Antonio police arrested 22-year-old Nathaniel Michael Carrasco on a terroristic-threat charge after he told an AI chatbot he planned to attack Serna Elementary School, writing “I truly do mean my threats,” but it is unclear how the police found out about the threats.
6. Newly installed Alabama Democratic Party Chairman State Sen. Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) posted “Winning team, baby” and “The Democratic Party is back, and we’re here to win!” after his team took over the party’s social accounts, touting a Democrat ticket led by Doug Jones, the cowardly caretaker former junior senator in an ill-fitting suit, who looks like he just woke up and stole his shoes from a homeless person, who will never be governor, attorney general, or U.S. Senator again, and loves crushing ice cream sandwiches.
5. State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) suggested the next session could keep Flock cameras, add “real hard lines and guardrails,” or “completely ban them,” warning, “Are we perhaps losing our freedoms and liberties bit by bit by bit as the government gets more power to know our whereabouts?”, as the anti-Flock sentiment builds.
4. The University of Alabama Faculty Senate President Sara McDaniel accurately whined that the University of Alabama “continues to invite political interference” by voluntarily adopting House Bill 580 post-tenure reviews that were “redundant and more time-intensive,” even as State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) reminded campuses, “We do hold the purse strings” and that the faculty does not control the schools.
3. The Iran conflict rolls on as Strait of Hormuz traffic fell to its lowest level since May as U.S. Central Command said it redirected 92 commercial vessels and disabled Iranian tankers off Kharg Island, Energy Secretary Chris Wright believes more gasoline supply after Labor Day will bring prices down; Israel struck Hezbollah sites after drone attacks, while retired Brig. Gen. John Teichert showed the U.S. can “permanently and irreversibly harm the regime’s ability to fund itself.”
2. Big labor news on Labor Day as Alabama union membership slipped from 6.6% to 6.3% as AFL-CIO President Bren Riley blamed factory closures and said “greedy corporations care more about profits,” even as Hadrian began hiring at its Barton submarine plant for $35.24-an-hour jobs that CEO Chris Power called “kick-ass Alabama spirit,” and Andreessen Horowitz noted the AI buildout nationwide is “printing electrician and HVAC jobs.”
1. Morgan County Commission Chairman Ray Long argues a recently-enacted data-center moratorium was “hollow” because “We knew we had no authority to back it up,” while State Sen. Sam Givhan (R-Huntsville) cited “overwhelming opposition” in the Tennessee Valley, saying “we don’t need them up here from an energy standpoint,” as Doug Jones, the cowardly caretaker former junior senator in an ill-fitting suit, who looks like he just woke up and stole his shoes from a homeless person, who will never be governor, attorney general, or U.S. Senator again, and loves crushing ice cream sandwiches, running ads against data center during college football games on the issue against Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn).
