PokerNews is saddened to learn that poker legend and author David Sklansky, who wrote 18 gambling books—including one of the most influential poker strategy books ever—has passed away at 78. A look back at his life and impact 👇 pokernews.com/news/2014/02/p…





Someone at last nights Spurs game texting: “A lot of crazy Hispanic fans. How can they afford it.”


My favorite fact about the Biden administration was that it set aside 2 trillion dollars for reviving America’s infrastructure and it literally disappeared. Just gone, nobody knows what Buttigieg did with it.


SCOOP: MLB is getting into the prediction-market business through a multi-year deal with Polymarket. Polymarket will be the exclusive prediction-market partner of MLB and will be the only platform allowed to use team logos and marks, sources tell @FOS. frontofficesports.com/mlb-makes-mult…



Hot take as a woman who actually has really wholesome female friendships: male friendships are kind of… insane. two men can hang out for 4 hours, say maybe 17 total words, share a bag of chips, send each other one stupid reel, and go home like “great catching up bro.” no emotional recap. no post-hangout analysis. no “did I say something weird when I laughed?” they can go 6 months without talking, then meet again and immediately pick up the exact same joke from 2017. women meanwhile will do a full psychological autopsy on a slightly delayed reply. I’m not even judging. I’m just observing a level of emotional minimalism that feels both deeply confusing and… kind of powerful.



👀🚀🔥 Physical sports card collectors don’t want to hear this… but the hobby is moving on. The Panini Blockchain cards ecosystem exposes just how flawed physical collecting really is. Thread 🧵👇 1️⃣ **Grading is subjective** Two identical cards can get different grades depending on the day, the grader, or the company. That’s not scarcity. That’s inconsistency. 2️⃣ **Population manipulation** With physical cards you constantly hear: “New cases found.” “Warehouse inventory surfaced.” “Reprints.” Meanwhile blockchain cards have **provable supply forever**. 3️⃣ **Damage risk** Corners. Scratches. Centering. Shipping damage. Collectors spend thousands just protecting cardboard. Digital cards don’t degrade. 4️⃣ **Slow market** Want to sell a physical card? • Ship it • Wait for grading • Wait for auction • Pay fees Blockchain trading = instant global liquidity. 5️⃣ **Fake cards exist** Counterfeits and altered cards are everywhere in physical collecting. Blockchain ownership is verified on-chain. 6️⃣ **The irony** The same company producing physical cards — **Panini America** — already proved the future with blockchain. Many collectors just aren’t ready to admit it. 7️⃣ **Market inefficiency** Some 1/1 blockchain cards sell for less than random physical parallels. That gap won’t last forever. Early collectors understand this. The next generation of the hobby is digital.
