More bad news for #Harris as the Dow and S&P 500 are in the year's longest winning streak, finishing yet again at all-time highs.
"Williams attributed this outperformance to investors already pricing in a win from Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump, whose policies would be more business friendly in terms of taxes and regulations."
From #NBCNews: Because it's illegal to offer people a bribe to vote, Elon Musk is offering $100 to #Pennsylvania voters who sign his "petition" supporting free speech and gun rights.
@PRPLDRAGON Why is that your business?
This just showed up on my screen when I logged into Zombie Twitter.
From #OCRegister: Trumper arrested at Coachella #Trump rally for weapons possession is suing that county's #MAGA sheriff for falsely telling the press he intended to assassinate Trump.
@BrentSullivan Not doubting the temperature, just pointing out that pro baseball has often played in miserable conditions.
I used to shoot sports photography for the Angels. I could tell you horror stories about 117° summer games at the minor league complex in Tempe AZ.
The Guardian article impressed me more as the D'backs posturing to get either a new park, or concessions to stay in the current park. All teams do this dance near the end of their lease.
@BrentSullivan I dunno ... Pro baseball teams have played in far worse over the decades. Before the Astrodome, the then-Colt .45s played in an outdoor renovated minor league park plagued by mosquitoes.
When Astroturf came along, some parks had 130° temperatures on the field during day games.
The A's are moving to Las Vegas; the concepts show more of a giant awning than a fixed dome.
Tropicana Field just lost its fiberglass roof due to Milton, but it was beyond its life span.
@jdtasker "They still owe you money, fool!"
Bizarre #Trump #Pennsylvania town hall, as he doesn't answer questions but instead tells the crowd to listen to his Spotify playlist.
From #CNN: The #Tesla Optimus robots at last week's robotaxi rollout were actually being remotely operated.
"Tesla shares sank nearly 9% on Friday."

Today's "This Modern World" by Tom Tomorrow on #DailyKos.
#NASA and #SpaceX will attempt to launch the Europa Clipper mission today atop a #FalconHeavy from #KSC Pad 39A. The NASA webcast begins at 11 AM EDT / 8 AM PDT with launch time targeting 12:06 PM EDT / 9:06 AM PDT. Here's the YouTube link.
#StarTrek This dog had better be named Lokai ...
"Lokai is white on the right side. All of his people are white on the right side."
#SpaceX just made history, as the Boca Chica launch tower caught the #Starship #SuperHeavy booster in mid-air on return to launch site. The Starship upper stage is in orbit attempting to successfully demonstrate entry and soft landing (in the Indian Ocean).
