We don’t know yet how Trump’s conviction will impact the November election

We can be pretty sure of 2 things, though

  1. Tomorrow, the RNC will report Trump’s biggest fundraising day ever, the media will run with that story, and no one will follow up if/when official election filings contradict it

  2. A GOP-sponsored poll will show that Trump's conviction will not lose him any votes, and the media will run with that too

@peterbutler like clockwork, we normalized the impossible:

I used to watch Supreme Master TV every time I ate at Golden Era in San Francisco

It seemed culty, of course, but fairly innocuous

I had no idea it had gotten redpilled!!

Is Golden Era now showing Trump on its TVs?! (I have not been there in years)

“[Josh] Gibson is MLB’s new all-time career leader in batting average (.372, moving ahead of Ty Cobb), slugging percentage (.718, moving ahead of Ruth), OPS (1.177, ahead of Ruth), and holds the all-time single season records in each of those categories”

(He still can’t top Barry Bonds’ .609 OBP in 2004 though!)

This is fantastic news for baseball fans

Big thumbs up to Sobo "jiao zi” style vegan dumplings

19g protein, 7g fiber, 1g sugar, limited ingredients, and they taste great. Pan fry ‘em with your own sauce!

@MuseumShuffle Oops. I didn’t realize it was only Bay Area (company is located in San Mateo). Agreed. I hope they make it big!

I don’t think I realized how healthy bicycling is. Huzzah!

> A substantial body of evidence supports the health benefits of cycling, everything from strengthening the immune system to boosting the likelihood of living longer. Now, a new study finds people who are in the habit of riding a bike are significantly less likely to have osteoarthritis and experience pain in their knees by age 65, compared to people who don't bike.

I love San Francisco. I love Oakland. And San Jose. And SLO. And Redwood City. And San Leandro. And ...

I still listen to this song and like it a lot sometimes

I’m gonna point people to this article anytime they say, “it’s not the phones” that are making our kids miserable

>> The fastest growing sector of the culture economy is distraction. Or call it scrolling or swiping or wasting time or whatever you want. But it’s not art or entertainment, just ceaseless activity.

This “AI robot” commencement address at D'Youville University is beyond dystopian

Pure nightmare fuel, complete with WWE fireworks intro

Red Lobster received a Service Mark (℠) for the term “Ultimate Endless Shrimp”

I am thinking about that a little tonight

>> "It wasn't the second helping on all-you-can-eat, but the third" that hurt profits, a Red Lobster executive said at the time to analysts.

I might never stop laughing. I loved Red Lobster as an 11 y.o. boy in Detroit

"LLM art is so disturbing because it is culture that has been drained of all direct intentionality

"Just like the movements of the planchette, it is a by-product of collective agency, without itself being an agent

"A void has been created, and something disturbing appears to have crept in.”
