I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Someone from Kalshi contacted me this morning to say they'd "love to talk about your article." Do you think they'd let me create a bet about whether I'm going to take that call
I wrote about the rise of prediction markets, which have FINALLY made it possible for crypto bros to cosplay as war profiteers while getting fleeced by actual war profiteers
How Prediction Markets Turned Life Into a Dystopian Gambling Experiment
What are Polymarket and Kalshi? Why are they taking over the world? And is there anything stopping actors on these platforms from exploiting almost everything and everyone?

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?
