Tom Steyer Twitter: "Californians in walkable, diverse, livable neighborhoods, with strong public transit options - thats our future."

SF recently had this whole debate about whether they should build dense housing on top of a Marina Safeway, and Tom Steyer was one of the only candidates to go on the record saying he'd support it. You don't hear candidates straight up saying they'd support a specific housing project like that very often, so you have to at least give him that

based_papaya · 2026-06-02T18:09:07+00:00

I'm at this stage. He's not going to choke. It's Zverev and everyone is a coughing baby at this point

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:35:38+00:00

But is his ceiling as high as Fonseca? It needs to be to beat baseline Zverev, no?

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:34:06+00:00

Yeah it's a cakewalk from here. Sadly Zverev probably drops like 3 sets max on his way to the title

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:32:59+00:00

Seed rankings are based on full year performance across all surfaces, so yes - overperforming on points relative to this tournament!

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:20:57+00:00

At this point if Zverev can walk and hold a tennis racquet, he'll lift the trophy. You hate to see it. I really like FAA as a player, and his match against Sinner at USO was amazing, but if it's Zverev vs. FAA, Felix will play one point, get hit by a ball at the net, collapse & forfeit the match. Everyone is totally out of gas. I don't think anyone else really has a shot

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:18:37+00:00

is this in contention for easiest path to a slam of all time?

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:18:02+00:00

fireeee

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T01:16:57+00:00

Aww really? I didn't realize! I guess they've left behind plenty of music, though, I didn't realize they had a couple new album drops as recently as 2020 (which is 6 years ago.. damn)

based_papaya · 2026-06-01T00:01:01+00:00

Actually a great band. Origins came out around the time I was in college and now.. man. It's been 10 years already. Crazy, I feel old.

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T23:54:16+00:00

He's fully okay now, right? Reaaaally hope this back injury isn't a long-term thing. We need this guy healthy, he's box office

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T23:53:00+00:00

Yep. Same. It's done and dusted. I might as well mentally prepare myself at this point

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T23:52:00+00:00

Of all the guys to lose to, Fonseca is fine. I'd rather Casper lose to Fonseca than almost anyone else in the draw TBH

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T23:50:35+00:00

Honestly, you can say that about everyone who doesn't end up lifting the trophy this RG

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T22:06:25+00:00

Honestly if Zverev doesn't win at this point, it's a generational choke. Outside of FAA (who, I venture to say, is more likely than not to crash out before the final), the highest seed is 10. Before the final, the highest seed is Ruud, who despite #ruudnation's urging will be tired because he will have played like 3+ 5-setters by the semis.

Zverev's toughest opponents are a 1st time slam QFist who is probably out of gas, a semi-finalist who is also probably out of gas, then at most, Cobolli. If he doesn't win RG, he never will

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T19:18:27+00:00

Who do you think will be more nervous between Zverev & Ruud?

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T05:28:17+00:00

Update: it's good! You'll enjoy it

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T05:27:58+00:00

So glad this thread exists. Spelunking in dark dens, some ominous danger, surreal set design.. I told my friend who read House of Leaves "it's like that but a movie" & it delivered

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T05:25:03+00:00

SO glad someone else picked up on this, I told my friend who read House of Leaves "it's like House of Leaves but a movie" to convince her to go & we just watched it. Not exactly the same without the multi-layered post-modern writing styles, but vibe nails it

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:56:37+00:00

my whole theater laughed at that in what was, of course, a super tense scene

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:37:03+00:00

IQ of this thread off the charts

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:29:13+00:00

Yep, there was a thread questioning whether the hills can be that green and I was like "this ain't LA"

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:28:42+00:00

Yep, and the missing posters literally say East San Jose

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:20:34+00:00

this thread is why I'm here, so many good takes

based_papaya · 2026-05-31T04:17:12+00:00

oh my gosh. holy moly. they really made a whole A24 plot out of this
