The reason it's gone up is because they made a different market for whether the Jesus market will reach 5c at any point, so people are buying Y on the Jesus market in the hopes that Y holders in the derivative market will pump the Jesus market to 5c.

Yeah this is probably part of it too. Losing retail investors to gambling and losing major silicon valley investors to AI.

Now that we're in a drop, some people went "oh, it looks like cycle theory is real and bitcoin will be low for another couple years. No reason to buy now."

Bitcoin prices have historically peaked in the first year of each presidential term and then gone down in the middle of the term, starting to rise again once it's election season. This is known as "cycle theory" (though its proponents don't think it has anything to do with elections).

Interesting. I wonder if anyone is strategically voting for him to get him out of the state senate.

I never know which Bundy is which. Ted, Ammon, Al, Cliven, all possibly the same person.

Does Ted Bundy have some kind of name confusion spell going on?

"An ideology whose cultural touchstones and heroic myths reflect values not of calculated risk or noble self-sacrifice of literal suicide--pointless, sensational acts of total self-destruction. "

you're missing a 'but' after 'self-sacrifice'

in rem jurisdiction produces amazing case names like United States v. One Solid Gold Object in Form of a Rooster

Maybe we can let facts sue for libel, and get case names like The Fact that Virginia's Elections Were Fair v. Shiloh Marx

"The Greatest Joke of All Time" (2019)
YouTube video by Never Got Famous "The Greatest Joke of All Time" (2019)

And my favorite ever parallel joke is from Never Got Famous, in which a failed comedian attempts to talk about the pirate steering wheel joke despite not understanding it. It's a minute into this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ONg...

Examples:

Why was 92 afraid of 93? Because 93 94 95!

What time do you visit a podiatrist? Foot thirty!

An anti-joke is when you remove the wacky part of a joke and keep the part that makes sense, leaving a single-entendre. The converse way to have a single-entendre is to keep the wacky part and its internal logic, but remove the part that makes it make sense. I call these parallel jokes.

I don't think they sell much of anything! They're open 16 hours a week and I rarely see customers going in when I'm walking by.

Also I have to say it's cool just how often I follow someone for unrelated reasons (in this case Question 3) and then they turn out to be from Somerville.

There was a dude this last election who ran a single-issue city council campaign about finally doing something with the Teele Square gravel pit.

A few days ago we got an article about Lori Chavez-Deremer day drinking and having affairs with underlings.

And now there's a lawsuit accusing Kirsten Sinema of sexual harassment during her tenure.

One minute of the acoustic version was leaked a month ago, but the full song didn't come out until today.

(that said, I kinda prefer the short leaked version to what we wound up getting)

Now I'm imagining it at the start of a nonfiction opinion book. "Here's a lot of words about why deregulation is good, and I don't stand by a single one of them"

Prediction markets don't make the bets themselves, they're just a platform for users who want to bet with each other. They collect fees regardless of whether the bets were fair or not.

This isn't the feds, it's a class action lawsuit filed in federal court.

I wonder if it's an engagement farming thing where creators learned that users stay on the video longer if they think they're about to get an explanation of something.

X is defined by the card. So if you cast this for 5GG, then what you're saying is that 5 can't be greater. Now, what does it mean that 5 can't be greater? I have no clue!

Nice shirt!

At first glance I thought the blue strips in the last image were from you using the shirt as a cincomancia-like tool
