Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave?
Honestly, I think livestream: dance on other legislators’ desks. Mock w/parody lyrics from show-tunes, raid copier paper to stuff empty suits and print out opposition faces and put them in seats & act out humiliating legislative scenes.

Theoretical Validation of the Latent Optimally Partitioned-$\ell_2/\ell_1$ Penalty with Application to Angular Power Spectrum Estimation
This paper demonstrates that, in both theory and practice, the latent optimally partitioned (LOP)-$\ell_2/\ell_1$ penalty is effective for exploiting block-sparsity without the knowledge of the concrete block structure. More precisely, we first present a novel theoretical result showing that the optimized block partition in the LOP-$\ell_2/\ell_1$ penalty satisfy a condition required for accurate recovery of block-sparse signals. Motivated by this result, we present a new application of the LOP…

They always wave back. It is such a welcoming feeling!
I’ve been twice already today, once with four grandchildren who collected tons of swag and were cute as hell.
