@AGOWA you wanna bet? kalshi.com/ideas/posts/2b…

Washington is suing Kalshi for running an illegal betting operation. Kalshi tries to deceive governments and consumers by calling itself a ‘prediction market.’ If you spend a minute on their website, you’ll clock that this is a gambling site. They claim to offer a new financial product, but they’re just a bookie with a huge amount of venture capital. atg.wa.gov/news/news-rele…

What's the first situation you remember actively monitoring?

this is absolutely bonkers

@sonyasupposedly yeah, i see people saying the way he died was ironic and i'm like if he were here rn he would have the exact same beliefs also no amount of mainstream gun control laws would have banned the bolt action rifle he was shot with

Charlie Kirk was right that the Second Amendment is worth some gun deaths and he remains right despite having been murdered with a gun. It was intellectually honest for him to admit that 2A has a cost, and that the cost is worth paying.

Ezra got this one exactly right, and a lot of you are betraying a total inability to tell the difference between "this person went about the process of advocating for his beliefs in the right way" and "his beliefs are correct."

@FouriersFender @paulwal222 @cenkuygur honestly sometimes people just have weird reactions when they do not know how to process something i imagine someone who was there is questioning their own interpretation of reality as they recount it

@paulwal222 @cenkuygur She looks incredibly chill post adrenaline dump. I feel ill after it passes. I wouldn't be smirking about it.

A while back I put out these rules for the internet. 1. When we disagree, we fight. 2. We have a beer afterward. 3. When we agree, we unite. I got a lot of flack, surprisingly, for the line about the beer. People would ask, "Oh yeah, would you have a beer with Charlie Kirk?!" Well, I did. And I'm glad I did, because now I won't get to. Yes, Charlie and I disagreed a lot and about really important things. But somehow we didn't lose our humanity. We were still fellow Americans. We can all choose to hate each other now. That's a normal, human reaction. We can choose to blame each other, and I'm sure we will, endlessly. Or we can defy the voices of division in the country, and have a beer together. This time, in grief. If you really want to strike back at whoever did this, listen to each other instead of hating one another. They want us to hate each other. Treating one another as brothers and sisters, as a united America, would be a historic act of defiance. Since I'm on the left, I'll go first. For everyone on the right, and most especially the Kirk family, I am so sorry for your loss. I share your grief and I want you to know our hearts are with you!

@ArmandDoma Where did this meme come from anyways? Poland is pissing itself and people meme it as capable.

holy shit it’s happening

@uccellini_ welcome back marshall mathers

When bond mkt is going against the mainstream macro narrative, worth paying attention… 🤔

I really hate the “you care more about burning Waymos than children being detained by ICE” nonsense. I don’t get to just get to burn down your house, declare it’s to save babies with cancer, and denounce you for caring more about your house than babies with cancer

If Scott Bessent is sharp, he gets in the Oval Office tonight and convinces Donald that this is his out. Blame the failure of tariffs on a “liberal New York judge” and get it over with for good. Take a quiet loss and move on.

@ArmandDoma I will hold this belief to my grave: politics people who do actual work with campaigns to win elections are simply morally superior to those who don't.

@kamilowyy @normonics @ttimothytran @wholemars literally this

@normonics @ttimothytran @wholemars If you'd still do it, even while not being able to see the difference in a blind test, then you're actually the one virtue signaling here.

Reminder: Paul Graham is an idiot

One reason many people were and still are hungry for an authoritarian is because people believe the rules are so broken that we need a strongman willing to defy them. The only way out is to *fix* the broken rules so people can believe once again that government can actually work

Goddamn

The truth is, we were always destined to lose our disproportionate control of global manufacturing. This didn’t start in 2001 when China joined the WTO. This started in 1945, when WW2 ended. All of Europe, Japan, and the Soviet Union was ruined in WW2. The U.S. was the only country with idle manufacturing capacity to produce the world’s stuff. And then, as the world rebuilt, we slowly and consistently began losing that advantage. That’s the cold hard truth. And we don’t attempt to get back most of this manufacturing because low level manufacturing is the most inefficient form of modern economic activity. We’d rather sell you M&A consulting at 40% net profit than Nike’s at 4% net profit.
