Just a little casual racism from Silicon Valley's finest.

A story can meet the threshold of newsworthiness and voters can decide for themselves that it's a nothingburger. I doubt the story im referring to will matter much but there's a weird lack of faith from certain quarters in letting the democratic process play out for itself.

RT for awareness. Tax code is already punitive to poker players (you get taxed on winning years but can't write off losing years unless you file as a pro; it's easy to have a down year even as a good player) and Senate-passed version of OBBBA would make it considerably worse.

OK, video is up! Thought it was a really good one. Plus, my initial thoughts on how Zohran is positioned for the general election and whether it might be competitive.

FYI: I'll be chatting with new S-bstacker Derek Thompson (@DKThomp) over on the S-bstack App starting in ~5 minutes, where we'll cover everything from A (Abundance) to Z (Zohran).

Tfw you get triggered by passing the four completing Halal Guys carts on 6th Ave.

We made this with a couple minutes to spare, which proves my theory that New Yorkers walk twice as fast as the US population average. (Though tbh also some sprinting involved.)

Here is a list of all Republican male senators right now, basically everyone's either John or Jim or Tim or T(h)om or they go way too far in the other direction and it's Rand or Markwayne.

This is partly because Republicans have more conventional names, there are literally 7 Republican Senators named "John" (plus 1 "Jon" ) right now.

I guess we're now officially one year removed from Biden's debate so "IT'S AGEISM IF DEMOCRATS WANT YOUNGER LEADERSHIP!" is making a comeback.

Part of the reason Zohran won is because he's good at social media but isn't Too Online. In fact exactly the opposite: he campaigned on kitchen-table issues. Opinion has shifted against Israel but remains ambivalent & for better or worse Gaza is a low priority for normie voters.

I mean the baseball team is literally named the Brewers.

I think I have enough Wisconsin heritage to answer this (parents met at UW). Drinking generally high in Upper Midwest with cold, dark winters, Germanic culture is beer-friendly, but then also all of this gets enhanced as a point of cultural differentiation and almost pride.

Plus, we have a new hire to announce! Joseph George (@thezonemaster) is now the the Assistant Sports Analyst for Silver Bulletin. Joseph beat out a ton of other super talented candidates, and I'm trilled that he's decided to work with us as we expand out our sports coverage.

It got slightly delayed by Mamdanimania. But my annual post on the NBA champion is ready. This year's OKC Thunder were one of the best NBA teams ever. So why doesn't it feel like they're getting the love and respect they deserve?
