Hunter, guilty

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, was convicted on three counts of violating federal gun charges. Bloomberg says he's the first child of a sitting US president to face such legal consequences.

PJ Media: The jury was actually biased in favor of Hunter. The undeniable evidence gave them no choice but to convict him.

USA Today says the verdict is bad for Biden: Hunter's guilty verdict complicates his campaign against Trump.

A CNN Op had a different reaction: It's good that the justice system is holding Hunter accountable. And Dem's lack of outrage points to a GOP double standard.

The NYT offers a sympathetic take: Hunter Biden's trial highlights the harsh reality of addiction under public scrutiny.

Name fate

Ever wondered if your name shapes who you are? BBC says it does, influencing your personality and life choices -- it's called nominative determinism.

HowStuffWorks disagrees -- your name won't chart your destiny, but it might influence the opportunities you're given.

Last Word On Nothing disagrees: Your name doesn't seal your fate. Evidence shows choice trumps nominative determinism.

Big Think: Names definitely play a role if your life, but we don't really understand why -- Feel free to change your name if you feel it's holding you back!
