@mattvanswol It is LITERALLY impossible - and it’s not happening. In the last ballot drop, she beat him 31-20, not 100-0.

But I don’t think you actually care about the truth. You care about narrative. And 31-20 isn’t as big and scary.

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.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

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…

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

Nerd.

[Emmanuel Acho @EmmanuelAcho]

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:

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

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.

[Polymarket Sports @PolymarketSport]

The 34 fastest 100M sprints in history...

Those in red were later caught doping.

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

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.

[Josie Zayner @josiezayner]

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

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

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.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

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)

[Brad Stulberg @BStulberg]

Everything about the enhanced games seems so deeply unserious and stupid.

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

@42069pussyslaya @MattPiperJenks @nyjetsfanmike @NjTank99 @Schwarzenegger I agree! I think you’re doing great and the problem that freezes most people is overthinking, so I try not to make them think too much if they’re already winning. Thinking is only for when you hit a losing streak.

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

@42069pussyslaya @MattPiperJenks @nyjetsfanmike @NjTank99 @Schwarzenegger When somebody’s lost 100 pounds and hasn’t plateaued, our general philosophy is don’t fix what ain’t broken. Keep moving your way as long as it works. But add some strength training (because muscle gain helps make fat loss sustainable).

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

@chhartwig @nyjetsfanmike @MattPiperJenks @NjTank99 @Schwarzenegger @nyjetsfanmike lean on members like Christian for advice - it’s the beauty of the app’s village. He’s lost 80 pounds and had to deal with the hard task of changing the goal from loss to… what’s next?

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

@MattPiperJenks @nyjetsfanmike @NjTank99 @Schwarzenegger I’m here for you, @nyjetsfanmike - get signed up, we will get you going. I’m pretty sure we are the only app where the co-CEO answers customer service tickets, or you can just tag me with any questions here.

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

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.

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

People who think the positive corner of the internet means “Don’t exercise or speak with people I disagree with” are missing the point.

[RickledPicks @rickledpicks]

So much for the most positive corner of the internet, eh @Schwarzenegger . Disappointing is an understatement.

[daeveningglow @InlandCaGuy]

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

[Daniel Ketchell @ketch]

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.

@typesfast You should read @DavidGCrane.

No one knows the issue better. The legislature refused to confirm him when @Schwarzenegger appointed him to CalSTRS (teacher pension system) in 2006 because he was too honest about their return assumptions. He’s been beating the drum for years.
