@RepDeSaulnier This will accomplish absolutely nothing. What a waste. Prove me wrong.

[john strom @dadstrom]

@VoteFrese @MarioNawfal Are you and Mark DeSaulnier going to have a debate?

[john strom @dadstrom]

@freewilllyyyy If they stepped back and went through their normal shot routine they would get a lot more out of hitting 25 balls than 100.

[john strom @dadstrom]

@freewilllyyyy I work at a range and watch people waste there time hitting more than 100 balls. They stand in the exact same position and just pull balls from the bucket and swing. It is nothing like hitting a ball on the course.

[Susan Slusser @susanslusser]

Bob Costas, on the Giants' broadcast, declares the @baseballhall should allow Kruk and Kuip to go in together. He said the Frick award winning broadcasters, who vote on this, are in agreement but the Hall hasn't agreed to it - yet.
DO IT @baseballhall - it would be only positive

[Frese For Congress @VoteFrese]

Washington is the only place where you can put in 35 years, produce a post office, and get a raise. Mark DeSaulnier has been in elected office for 35 years. Nearly 12 in Congress. More than 200 bills. Two public laws: a post office name and a park boundary. Not one of his bills has made it out of committee since January 2023. That is not a record. That is a career. That's not legislating. That's filing. In business, 12 years and a post office gets you fired. I'm running to clean up Congress, and I'm starting with my own congressman. 8-year term limits. Ban members of Congress from trading stocks. No budget, no pay. Close the revolving door. He needs to go. Every career politician needs to go, in both parties. For him it's about the income. For me it's about the outcome. So put a number on it for me: how many more years, and how many more post offices, before it's somebody else's turn?

@CarnoustieCad I have played carnoustie twice and both times the caddies were excellent and instrumental in us having a great time.

California just did something incredibly stupid at the worst possible time.

By openly kneecapping Spencer Pratt in the primary, the state didn’t just protect Karen Bass from a competitive November race. It handed the rest of the country fresh, undeniable proof that their election system is designed to prevent any real challenge from ever reaching the general election. And they did it right as the Supreme Court is preparing to rule on late-arriving mail-in ballots in Watson v. Republican National Committee.

That timing matters. This wasn’t some quiet, behind-the-scenes adjustment. It was a very public execution of a candidate who was gaining traction with a modern campaign and a straightforward message. Everyone watching saw it happen in real time. The ballot drops, the sudden surge of a no-name candidate, the abrupt removal of the only outsider who was making noise ... it was all too obvious to ignore.

What California just proved is that their system cannot tolerate even the possibility of a close or uncomfortable race. Not because they fear losing power overnight, but because they fear voters seeing that the machine can be pressured at all. That revelation travels. It feeds directly into the growing national understanding that what’s happening in places like Los Angeles isn’t normal governance ... it’s managed decline protected by procedural games.

They showed their hand. And they did it at the exact moment the highest court in the country is about to decide how much longer these games are going to be allowed to continue.

Larry Ellison acaba de hacer la única pregunta que ningún periodista en la Tierra puede responder.

Un periodista del Wall Street Journal le dijo a la cara a Larry Ellison que Elon Musk no sabe lo que hace.

Ellison no discutió. No se alteró. Solo hizo una pregunta.

Ellison:
“Este tipo aterriza cohetes sobre plataformas robóticas en medio del océano… ¿y tú dices que no sabe lo que hace? ¿Alguna vez has aterrizado un cohete?”

Una sola pregunta. Sin posibilidad de recuperación.

Ellison:
“¿Quién eres tú? ¿Por qué debería creerte a ti antes que a mi amigo Elon?”

Esta es la pregunta que toda la clase mediática lleva una década esquivando:
¿Quién eres tú para juzgar?
¿Qué has construido?
¿Qué has lanzado?
¿Qué problema has resuelto que no implique un teclado y una fecha límite?

Ellison:
“Ahí estás tú, delante de tu Apple Macintosh, escribiendo un artículo diciendo que Elon es un idiota.”

Se sientan detrás de un portátil que no diseñaron.
Usan una red que no construyeron.
Funcionando sobre chips de silicio que ni siquiera pueden explicar.
Para decirle al mundo que el hombre que envía humanos al espacio no sabe lo que hace.

Nunca han construido nada más pesado que un documento de Word.

Y aun así lo publican con absoluta certeza.

Eso es lo que debería inquietarte.
No la crítica.
Sino la confianza con la que la hacen.
La ausencia total de autoconciencia necesaria para juzgar disciplinas en las que no durarían ni un semestre.

Musk no opera en opiniones.
Opera en la capa física del universo, donde las matemáticas funcionan… o el cohete no regresa.

Sus críticos operan en un editor de texto.

Construyó el vehículo que transporta astronautas de la NASA a la Estación Espacial Internacional.
La constelación de satélites que lleva internet a zonas de guerra activas.
El coche eléctrico que obligó a todos los fabricantes del planeta a abandonar sus planes basados en motores de combustión.

Sus críticos más ruidosos construyeron una firma al final de un artículo.

Entonces… ¿por qué tanto odio coordinado?

Porque perdieron la correa.

Los ataques no aumentaron porque Musk empeorara como ingeniero.
Aumentaron porque compró X.
Abrió el algoritmo.
Le devolvió la plaza pública a la gente.
Y destruyó su capacidad de controlar lo que puedes pensar.

No odian al ingeniero.

Odian que el ingeniero les quitó el monopolio.

No puedes cancelar un cohete.
No puedes publicar un artículo contra la gravedad.
No puedes editar las leyes de la física.

Ellos controlan la narrativa.

Él controla la física.

Y uno de los dos va camino a Marte.
