@goaloa @LeighWolf @sara_dinatale @demianbulwa @sfchronicle I live in Los Angeles. Every election, I get ballots for people who don’t live here (2 names consistently). The first few years we sent them back asking them to change the registration. They just kept coming. Now we just discard them.

This experiment seems to fail to consider that the electricity that flows through any device to help us observe the particles could affect their movement. So, unplugging the electricity would effectively stop the impact, and turning it on would create the impact. Unless the used a different, non-observaable machine as a variable, then we don’t know that the nearby electricity isn’t affecting the outcome.

I would think of it like looking at skid marks after a car crash. We’re able to figure out what happened based on the residue of what’s left behind. Even if the cars aren’t there any longer, you can tell a lot by what marks were made. In that sense, the particles created different ‘skid mark’ patterns depending on whether or not equipment was observing.

@alphafox My movie was Parenthood and my wife’s was Groundhog Day… we just had surprise triplets.

Spooky accurate predictor.

@khan_neba @InternetH0F Also American but not mentioned: gumbo, Philly cheesesteak, Tex Mex, Chicago-style pizza, Korean BBQ (in Korea they call it LA BBQ), and just about every amazing dessert.

@Ryen778931 @Mediaite I can’t find reference to Jackson shooting Pointdexter in the dick. I see where he accused him of hiring the guy who tried to assassinate him, and I see a duel with Dickinson, but no cock shooting. Where did you find that? Sounds like a great story if true.

@colemanm @oldbooksguy Ha! This make me want to jump through a window!

@Rainmaker1973 What creep is filming this? Was he just stalking the girl and then thought he’d post it on socials or what?

[Merck @Merck]

At Merck, we believe research is the will to conquer the impossible… and that science will lead the way.

@KingKightlinger Was definitely hilarious, but also seemed like a handful. I imagine it would have been difficult to work with him.

Whenever someone says, “Hey, have you lost weight?” I just remind them that, no, they just think of me fat.

@whatever The hand thing needs to be studied. My theory is it’s linked to IQ.

The Pope died. Looks like a job for The Vicar, @adamcarolla

Both "we got bored" and "American Empire is collapsing" is simultaneously willfully naive on the first count and hysterically wrong on the second count.

We didn't get bored and America is not collapsing. Calm down.

The post war order has exhausted itself. Three weeks ago everyone understood and acknowledged this. Our cultural institutions had hollowed out; our geopolitics were in disequilibrium; our norms and narratives had become badly fragmented; the systems we depended on for knowledge and legitimacy had ossified or entirely eroded; we were (and are) experiencing profound civilizational scale social pathologies (birth rates, mental illness, plummeting social trust)... all of it.

Trump is a disruption to this. That's what he exists to do. He exists to clear all of this dead brush away and invite a new order in its place. This "chaotic" interregnum we're in is like primary succession after a forest fire. New opportunistic species are coming in to replace what has died. This means non-experts. This means things will be unruly, and confused, and subject to a period of radical experimentation and competition. Eventually a new equilibrium will assert itself.

This is not collapse. Keeping the post war order on life support and feeding it through a straw is what collapse looks like. This is the forest floor rediscovering light.

@rcbl I’m curious of your take on Ross Douthat’s new book Believe. I’ve been reading it and for some reason thinking about you in seminary. I’d like to get your thoughts on it, mainly because you have great takes on everything else with Martini Shot.
