People who talk like this to strangers on the internet will inevitably also tell you how Christian they are. Maybe all the anger is because they would have failed my high school statistics class at Bakersfield High and also my confirmation classes at St. Paul’s.

Are you too retarded to understand that a candidate receive 24% of the in person vote, magically received 44% of the mail in votes… …is statistically equivalent to winning the Powerball lottery 30 times IN A ROW Explain how this is not cheating. I’ll wait.

Here is the TRUTH about the Los Angeles mayors race… MAGA on X is full of grifters and morons who both think an ad that goes viral nationally somehow has an impact on LA voters, and who profited from the narrative that somehow a Trump-like character was going to repeat the 2016 presidential election (the day Trump made uneducated people finally feel smarter than the elites!) in deep blue LA. This created lots of media coverage, which promoted the false impression of momentum for Pratt, convincing more morons that he was actually going to win. But Pratt had no campaign infrastructure/ground game, and when Trump endorsed him, and he became a MAGA darling, he became instantly a toxic threat to most of the LA voters. Meanwhile, Raman was not known to most of the electorate, which was not happy with the choice between Bass and Pratt. A late LA Times poll showing Raman beating Pratt and almost beating Bass gave her huge credibility with late deciders (there were many of these because of the muddied governors race). They saw her as Mamdani 2.0. The seemingly odd pattern of the super slow results actually make perfect sense (and also bode VERY poorly for Bass in November, which destroys the idea that the Democrat establishment wanted Pratt out enough to rig the election). But MAGA media doesn’t want to admit they were SO very wrong, and because Trump has already set the precedent that whenever you lose you just claim voter fraud, that became the fallback/face-saving position for influencers across X. Trump, continuing the conspiracy circle jerk, was all too happy to amplify this BS narrative on Meet the Press. Basically, this whole fiasco is the movie Idiocracy come to life! 🤦‍♂️🤮

Since everybody on X is an LA County voting expert: I put my ballot in a ballot dropbox on Tuesday and it wasn’t counted for 3 days (which is embarrassing, but not fraud). That means the ballots you saw hitting on Friday were not necessarily mailed.
The LA mayor stuff is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard & makes no sense. Dem establishment/Bass wanted Pratt, not Raman, to advance. Bass crushes Pratt in a 1-on-1 by 18 pt, while Raman beat Bass by 4. Pratt's the rarity in LA less popular than the unpopular Bass!

I live in one of the many incorporated cities of LA where you don’t vote for Mayor. I suspect very few of the people who liked Pratt’s videos on here had a vote. I also suspect he didn’t have a GOTV operation to match Raman’s. If he did, they wouldn’t have let him go to NYC.

In a state with the most incredible private sector innovation, 4 week vote counts are another example of the accepted mediocrity of our public sector. People should be enraged by this.

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.

Here at Enhanced Games to see records get smashed. Start of Human 2.0 - wonder when all athletes become Genetically Modified Organisms…

Nerd.
Here is Human Enhancement expert, Bryan Johnson, answering the most polarizing question: “Why weren’t more world records broken at the Enhanced Games?” Watch for knowledge:

Do we need to wonder if Polymarket was in on the games? The winner wouldn’t have hit your list. Rough to send 250k to a third tier athlete.
The 34 fastest 100M sprints in history... Those in red were later caught doping.

lol. X engagement clearly doesn’t prioritize people who actually watch sports anymore. Which makes sense, when you consider everyone involved. “LIV is great! The Enhanced Games are great!” Come to the real world.
Alot of people making jokes but did they expect all the best athletes to immediately just jump over? How long though will it take though when gold medal olympians find out they can make a ton more money at the enhanced games Look what happened with LIV in golf

It was a joke. Admit it was a joke, or admit you’re paid by Thiel or just can’t admit he failed because of your politics. They made a huge scene and then spent hours not even breaking high school records. Come on.
Overall retrospective on The Enhanced Games: There are a few thoughts here to break down. 1) The athletes were so grateful to participate. They made so much money to be there, some $1M to participate. For them that was a new lease on life. For an athlete who is past their prime to be able to compete again, actually get paid, have support, they could not have been happier. 2) The athletes hitting PBs (personal bests) was actually interesting and a good to see. But who cares, right? What we want to see is WRs (world records) right? Sort of. The athletes they got were mostly all past their prime. The pool they had to choose from had to be willing to take the enhancement drugs, be excommunicated from the traditional sports orgs for participating, have needed money, etc. So basically they’re not the best of the best athletes that are enhancing (at least publicly in this event). Not jabs, reality of getting older in sports. And even then, many of them were able to perform the best they ever did in their lives with the enhancement. That’s actually a huge win and very cool. And when you watched the interviews they’re honestly saying they FEEL the best they’ve ever felt. So good for them. This is likely why several of the natural athletes outperformed the enhanced ones. Because those athletes were in their prime and training for the larger events. They were clean. Of course the actual question remains: if you were to give an athlete in their PRIME these enhancements, how much better could the best become? 3) The Enhanced Games seems to be angling for some sort of subscription based supplement company model or something like that. In one of the interviews one of the organizers mentioned something like they’re using the event to collect data and want to sell supplements. So that seems to be the larger play: show people how drugs can improve their life, sell the drugs. 4) The event was clearly using science as the main patina to promote their larger business agenda. TLDR: It was an interesting event. The athletes were over the moon grateful and excited to get paid (a lot). The organizers are trying to likely use this to promote some sort of supplement company. They got to expose the world to their drugs they’re trying to sell. Athletes got to hit PBs and feel great and play their sports again. It was overall a cool thing.

The Enhanced Games were: -Brutal for the people who response to every Arnold ( you can replace Arnold with literally anyone) post with “but steroids” -Brutal for any Bryan Johnson fan (I have never seen someone be asked to commentate who knows nothing about sports and proves it)
Everything about the enhanced games seems so deeply unserious and stupid.

I got home with my kids at 5:15 and had this ready at 5:45. 7 ingredients: asparagus, tomato, angel hair pasta, parmesan, olive oil, butter, and venison chops. I can make fried rice with microwaved rice, eggs, and spinach in 4 minutes. Cooking isn’t as scary as people pretend
The younger and poorer the generation, the more they eat out and DoorDash This is part of the problem

As you watch this man be brilliant tonight, I want you to know that he was up at 2:30am last night with our six year old who has the stomach flu. He is our hero and we are so proud of him.

People who think the positive corner of the internet means “Don’t exercise or speak with people I disagree with” are missing the point.
So much for the most positive corner of the internet, eh @Schwarzenegger . Disappointing is an understatement.

This cinches it - I'm going to vote for him. Steyer and Becerra can't talk this long on any issue without blaming Trump or corporations or raising a dubious solution. He has real experience in CA, with CA problems. Not perfect on policy and isn't going to win but it's a primary
Here's @MattMahanSJ, on the lessons — both politics and policy — of trying to cut unsheltered homelessness in San Jose to zero

Party leaders seem to think getting rid of democratic reforms like open primary is a solution for California. If I were them, I’d focus more on not putting forward awful candidates.

Andrew Huberman described the worst morning routine in five steps. Stay in bed, recline, skip sunlight, drink coffee too early, multitask. Every one of them targets the same 30-minute neural event. Between minute 0 and 60 after waking, your body runs the cortisol awakening response. A healthy pulse lifts cortisol by about 50%, sets a 14-to-16 hour timer for melatonin release, primes immune function, and anchors alertness for the whole day. Miss the window and your circadian clock drifts until you go back to sleep. The rest of the day runs at 70%. Sunlight is the trigger. Light has to hit melanopsin cells at the bottom of your retina to signal the suprachiasmatic nucleus to fire cortisol. Through a glass window you need 50 times longer. A phone screen is hundreds of times too dim to count. Curtains closed plus head down means the pathway never activates. The pulse either never fires or fires weakly, with effects rippling across the next 16 hours. Reclining kills the second lever. Studies recording directly from the locus coeruleus and the reticular activating system show alertness drops with reclining and rises with sitting forward. Those melanopsin cells sit in the bottom of your retina for a reason. They evolved to see the sun overhead. Chin down, eyes down, horizontal body: the brainstem reads this signal set as "still asleep" and keeps you in sleep-adjacent arousal for hours. Coffee at minute 10 kills the third. Adenosine is the sleep pressure molecule cleared by that cortisol pulse. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors before cortisol gets the chance to clear them naturally. Two to three hours later the caffeine metabolizes, uncleared adenosine floods the receptors all at once, and you crash at 11am. Drink a second cup to patch the crash and you've shifted your cortisol peak four hours late. Which means your melatonin shifts too. Which means you can't sleep that night. Phone scrolling kills the fourth. Morning dopamine baseline is the lowest it will be all day. Ten minutes of feed delivers hundreds of micro-rewards before breakfast is ready. You've spent peak dopamine on algorithm-selected stimuli. Every real task in the workday that follows registers as a downgrade against that baseline. Multitasking kills the fifth. The prefrontal cortex boots last after waking. Task-switching between texts, emails, and random notifications during the boot window trains the attention network to run fragmented all day. Sophie Leroy's 2009 attention residue research showed each switch leaves cognitive spillover that degrades the next task. Start the morning with 20 switches and focus is a rented asset for the next 12 hours. Five random-looking habits, five targeted attacks on the same mechanism. Light triggers the pulse. Posture amplifies it. Caffeine cooperates with it. Dopamine protects what it builds. Focus compounds what it anchors. 20 minutes outside with your phone in the other room fixes all five at once.
