A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

I'm usually in on the "America is the hegemon that steers Israel for is own ends", train, cuz it makes sense compared to the alternative.

That being said, if anything Rubio said about how they acted cuz Israel forced their hand, is true, that does smell like a
"tail wagging the dog" moment

It's like, "Broooo, you know the consequences of not 'following orders' ?!? Prison, Bro!! Don't tell me you wouldnt kill a kid instead of prison, Bro?? "

You can tell when people really know more than you do about stuff like this because they explain what you got wrong instead of just asserting you don't know anything about it

Join the games industry and you too can work 100 hour weeks until you're completely burnt out in order to produce a title that will be unplayable in less than a month!

Luxuriate in harassment by your audience!

Jim Carrey’s publicist shuts down viral theory that makeup artist Alexis Stone attended the CΓ©sar Awards wearing a Jim Carrey disguise.

Stone himself shared an AI-generated image of empty prosthetics made to resemble Jim Carrey, leading thousands to believe the theory was true.

This shit is still going on. Ben Ryan obsessively tweets about me nearly every single day. He tweets about the people and posts I repost. He does so often within seconds of me posting because his burner has push alerts for my posts. Then he deletes them weeks later to not look as unhinged.

I need about $500 more to cover my insurance this month

That's car insurance, not medical. I also need help with medical insurance.

So! If you like my articles, please:

1) quote tweet a recommendation/excerpt
2) tip if you can
3) link people to the piece!

Birthing a human being doesn't make you a tech policy expert sadly. There are plenty of parents who don't believe trans kids should be allowed to exist. Myself/tech reporters have reported on this topic for years, academics have dedicated their lives to studying it, you have fallen for a moral panic

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

There's something comforting knowing that the Israelis know that they aren't guaranteed safe in their shelters anymore.

Iran hit one the other day, and it crumbled like a cookie.

The trauma of not knowing if this could even protect them, is the least they deserve.

Ive started to think that its not just "even the fascists", but rather they are likely even more exposed, and their minds are even more in danger of the psychosis-like mechanisms of the machine, than the average person, because of their predisposition this kind of "disconnect" from reality.

This is a great point! It fits into my own theory of why fascists, and generally people who score high in dark-triad, tend to love genAi.

There's something irresistible about a reality-warped, totally disconnected, machine, who's entire modus is reinforcing the ego thrown at it, to a fascist mind.

I do have to admit it's darkly hilarious that the current regime seems convinced that manufacturing consent is woke.

I’m struck by how every day the admin is like β€œwhoever could have foreseen these consequences?!” when the consequences thus far β€” evacuations, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, rise in gas prices, etc. β€” are all the literal most obvious consequences.

I'm sorry to remind everyone of the existence of hte worst magazine in America, but Kansas is literally taking away trans' people's driver's licenses, and the Atlantic has decided to publish a thumbsucker about whether effeminate boys are feeling pressured to transition

People do still want to have novel, kinetic experiences with their friends. But the sheep are no longer willing to be shorn by battle passes and seasons and skins and shit to do it. You cut too much, we're skint. For at least the next several years all yall gonna have to aim for Peak not Marathon.
