Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I talked to a woman who quit an AUSA job recently. She was asked by main DOJ to dismiss a Medicare fraud prosecution because the defendant was the daughter of a girlfriend of a MAGA figure.

People seem to believe that the best place to start a negotiation is by asking for as little as possible. I think this might be part of what got us here.
Because Democrats do not have votes to defund or abolish ICE. Reforming ICE - is something they can actually get passed.
If you want ICE gone - elect more Democrats and give a good majority - not slim majority but healthy majority where a few deflectors wont run the show.

just call it what it is, bob. ice is running an industrial human trafficking operation on our dime, and the entire federal government is on board
ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

the problem is that entire generation of dems and their younger disciples are all elitist pricks who think one of their main jobs is to discipline their base, NOT reflect that base's policy preferences. which is why we need to kick every last one of them out of office
I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.
Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

Their new poll came out today. It's up to 79% support including 66% (!) strongly support.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

why do you think being a software engineer precludes one from becoming addicted to gambling?
Seriously though, what is going on at a collective belief/collective behavior level that such a large number of software engineers (enough for cloud-providers to be offering PaaS one-click openclaw installs?) are running headlong into this runaway agentic AI coding craze?
