Five days after the LA election, Spencer Pratt falls to third place and a woman who hardly anyone voted for in person, Nithya Raman, totally dominated in mail voting to come in second. No one with a functional brain believes these results.
Bottom 7, 2 outs, down by 2…
Smiling walking to the plate. She knew.

Pitchers worst nightmare to see that confidence stepping into the box.
Delivered. Incredible WCWS moment.
Good morning!
As promised… posting every day until the whole of Australia has seen it.
Show your friends.
Share it round.
Watch it again.
Oh… and for the rest of the world? Have pity on us. It’s our Finance Minister.
.@PalmerLuckey: "Patents are Chinese instruction manuals" and we need to reinvent the US patent system:
"Stop patenting everything."
"The Founding Fathers never predicted a world where you'd have a globalized economy, and the entire patent office could be downloaded every single morning, ripped off, and then used to fight a war against you."
" We need to really fundamentally revisit the patent system."
"I think we need to massively expand the national security patent process. You can obtain a classified patent. You can get a patent on something that you are not allowed to disclose to anyone, but you still maintain the exclusivity on those rights."
" We need to massively expand that program."

We will BLOW UP the farm bill if Sections 10205, 10206, and 10207 are NOT REMOVED from the Farm Bill.
Section 10205 would shield pesticide makers from liability, weaken warning labels, and put foreign chemical corporations above the health of American families.
Making this mistake betrays a deep ignorance of American culture. It’s not a mistake that anyone with a passing knowledge of or interest in our history could possibly make. That’s a problem.
The California wealth tax is not on income…
It’s 5% of your net worth.
It’s state seizure of private assets.
This is now on the ballot and likely to pass.
Realize where we are.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
