Polymarket users bet on Coinbase’s CEO saying certain words including bitcoin, ethereum and web3 during the earnings call. He literally loaded up the site and just read aloud all the words at the end of the earnings call.
He found an even less regulated market to manipulate than crypto. Legendary.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

I can't recommend going and seeing Kiss of the Spider Woman in theaters enough. It's incredibly queer, it's deeply political, it has a Latinx cast, it's wrenchingly difficult but it's also fun. It steps back and forth between brutal struggle for justice and campy dance scenes and yet it makes sense.

Little gas mask'y alien I worked on at Hack & Craft. Only my second real sculpt effort in Blender really, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

of course, I'm blocked so i can't tell them what i meant. blocking does prevent conversations, but that wasn't my point. this is the US government. they aren't only using social media accounts to monitor this website...
