What the heck is a “non-complicit sex offender”?
How can someone be “arrested for” being a non-complicit sex offender?

There are weeks when I look ahead and have no option but to think “my god. It’s not humanely possible to get through all this.”
And then, invariably, I somehow manage, while also still being able to chill with kiddo for a little while each evening, and still mostly doing good for my clients.

How exactly does a betting market “resolve differences of opinion,” which he identifies as one of the product’s functions?
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Sen. Roger Marshall on Trump's health: "I'll work 110 hours a week. He outworks me. He's the first person I've ever known that works harder than I do. He runs around that golf course. He's in incredible shape right now. And you talk about sharp! He's playing 4 dimensional chess"

Something that *everyone* who publishes about this refuses to acknowledge:
When the pandemic came the push from the top—Feds on down—was “we don’t care, get the money out the window.”

Commentary: Minnesota’s reputation has been badly damaged. As worrisome: tens of thousands of Somali-Americans have been slandered. And now the community will face the terror of ICE. But it all started with the Walz administration’s feckless failures. minnesotareformer.com/2025/12/02/f...
First step for Walz: Take responsibility • Minnesota Reformer
He should consider respecting our intelligence, and coming clean about how he and key people in his administration failed us. It would be a start.

I like mesanvi. Kid rocked for Crows. Team says they’re negotiating with him. Hope that has a happy resolution.
#MNUFC contract decisions are out.
Kipp Keller, Sam Shashoua, Loïc Mesanvi, and Robin Lod had their options declined.
