If you know me, you know that I went ALL the way down the F1 rabbit hole last year.

It’s one of the most dramatic sports I’ve ever followed. I’m hooked!

So excited for the cars to be back on the track!

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.
