I know we live in grifter times where everything is true just because some rich guys say it is and you'd think I'd be inured after how they talk about AI, but "prediction markets are the most reliable news" is gonna send me to an early grave

Prediction Markets Need Insider Trading, Despite What They Say An editor for MrBeast was fined and suspended from Kalshi for insider trading, but what are prediction markets without it?

There is only one way this gives anyone information "the news" cannot and it's the thing your app "doesn't allow"? Am I going insane?? aftermath.site/kalshi-mrbea...

For the love of God, what are you people fucking talking about

Heavy trading in the Kalshi regime change / World War 3 bet this morning. $36 million in total volume so far

oh wow that's really interesting!

i think it just has to be, i'm like... looking at the pictures and like there is just no way, ah well

yeah in a terrible way i'm like, well i think this will be nice to experience, i am sorry that i will honor their life with the incorrect amount of cookies

this claims to make 40 2tbsp cookies but i'm gonna get... something in the low 20s? maybe i don't understand how to measure a tbsp of a solid right, idk. or it's a typo! that seems like way too many cookies for the amount of ingredients!

I'm not sure if this question is about cookies or the funeral lol, but if the latter, they know the end is coming and so wanted to get to experience it, which is... very lovely but also a bit of a lot

Why, despite all my measuring, have I never been able to get out of a cookie recipe the number of cookies it claims to produce?

(I'm baking cookies for a... kind of a funeral, where the person whose funeral it is is going to be there, and no I'm doing fine today, everything's great)

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

We are deep, deep in the throes of the Social Media Presidency, and this unchained madness has only the ugliest, very real, deadly ramifications for the entire world.

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Can Resident Evil Requiem grapple with nuclear tragedy? Does it even want to? On the latest Aftermath Hours, two of gaming’s best critics, @marioprime.bsky.social and @jmrivera.bsky.social, (respectfully) disagree

a teenage boy could 100% do this

back when i drank i did once run the farthest i'd ever run after heavily drinking, and in my memory it felt great but now that I'm sober a lot of my "great" memories from that time are, uh, questionable

also i've been a trail runner so i can eat real food while running lol

not to be a dick but i think i could do this (it doesn't specify that they have to be alcoholic beers, and tacos are really small especially after you've run 10 miles!)

All, The following instructions pertain to the passing of SB 244 regarding gender reclassifications. I've attached the letter that was sent to the individuals who need to return to our office and have their credential updated with their gender at birth. A flag will show on record indicating SB244 NOTICE for anyone who has been sent a letter. The individuals will be charged as normal for their reissuance. Should these customers arrive at the office without an appointment you are to make certain to get them processed as soon as possible, getting them in and out of the office. When issuing these credentials, you MUST reach out to the DL Helpdesk at KDOR_Photostop@ks.gov with the individuals K# and name indicating SB 244 update. For your ISSUANCE NOTE please include the following information: "Subject"=REISSUED PER SB 244 "Note"=GENDER CHANGED FROM MALE TO FEMALE (or whatever the situation) - Along with regular credential issuance notes

Little scoop before publishing a full story on the situation later — I've obtained the email sent to all Kansas DMV employees by Kent Selk, Driver Services Manager for the Kansas Department of Revenue on how to handle the compulsory gender marker change for trans people.

Full text of Selk's note:

stop adding information i don't need! stop moving everything around!

Every time I log into the business bank they've changed the way it looks for some reason and it gives me a panic attack, please stop fucking with the bank UI

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
