the problem is not just prediction markets. it is the way in which gambling has morphed from a grubby thing localized from casinos and sports bookies to an unregulated national pasttime
degenerate gamblers are a nest of vipers.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

Characteristic of this administration. They’re mimicking villains on TV. Miller wants to be Goebbels but skipped the years of party-building and maneuvering that made Goebbels possible. Trump wants to ape Bush and seize foreign oil (he assumes this is what Iraq was about) but is skipping to the end.
Yeah uhhhhhh I'm not sure there's any precedent at all for a war that literally just didn't have public buy-in, or a material effort at generating same? In like, all of American history??

It's worth reading the whole interview in full. It basically verifies that the NYT has spent the past decade-plus doubling down on top-down narratives for coverage, getting more intense over time.
Sulzberg personally picked & chose whom the news apparatus would target and whom it would kiss up to.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

a Warrenite with Bernie's message discipline and Obama's charisma is a hell of a thing to watch in action
Mamdani’s best trait so far is that he’s the first DSA elected who seems to understand that Liz Warrenism is correct w/r/t staffing and planning

one day someone will invent a metal cnc machine I can keep and use in my apartment and then I will never do anything but machine things
Deep fryers, labelers, and 3d printers are inventions that beg people to try using them on all the things, without needing a single person to declare them inevitable.
No one needs to be told to adapt or die to instinctively go "ooh I wonder if I can ___" about em

Me, in the before: "I don't really get why people want 3D printers. Maybe I'll see if I can borrow [eldest child]'s printer to get this print done.
Me, 5 minutes after printing The Boat: "Oh no."

Idiot. A Frenchman has no history in common with a German. Imagining they could create a country together is pure fantasy from a deracinated upper class.

So let’s repeat: Kyiv probably has the most experienced AD of any city in the world right now, &
