As Doge is officially shut down, having killed 100's of thousands, stolen a lot of PII, and cost US money (rather than saving US), all with no accountability, I like to think about this Kalshi market for how much it would save US that did not bother to have a contract for $0 or less.

NYT is still pretending Trump Admin (full of fascists who keep praising Hitler) is plausibly trying to help Jews by defunding universities, ending free speech, now demanding lists (including addresses) of all the Jews at a Penn.

PlayBill does not disappoint by focusing completely on Keanu's stage career, with last sentence referencing that in addition to his stage career and, most importantly, his ongoing collaborations with Alex Winter, he also found some time to be in 75 films.

NYT article reads like Mamdani was mean & nasty to poor defenseless Trump for no reason. They distill Trump’s repeated insane Islamophobic rants to Trump calling Mamdani a Communist (which they qualify by saying Mamdani is Democratic Socialist).

Trump's granddaughter was given an exemption to play in last week's LPGA tournament and finished last, 6 strokes worse than the next worse golfer. Honestly, happy they did not just declare her the winner anyway.

PRESIDENT ORDERING AG TO INVESTIGATE POLITICAL OPPONENTS FOR CRIME PRESIDENT COMMITTED WOULD LEAD TO IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT & REMOVAL FOR ANY PREVIOUS PRESIDENT, BUT NYT TREATS AS JUST *NORMAL* NEXT TO FLUFF PIECE ABOUT PREISDENT'S OFFICE. NYT IS ANTI-DEMOCRACY, ANTI-RULE-OF-LAW, PRO-TRUMP.

NYT had details of Trump's engagement with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking and *hid it for him*, at the same time it was crucifying Clinton as untrustworthy due to her document retention & security.

Anyway, this is the actual book I am reading. Picked it up in a local bookstore last week, before Musk’s “recommendation”!

NYT is having a meltdown this morning over their losses in yesterday’s election: two women and Muslim winning key races, they are not happy!

If the contract is for the party, then don't use the names. PolyMarket, in contrast, has their chart showing the reality.

Extremely sketchy behavior by Kalshi. After Mamdani won the Democratic nomination they swapped out the contract for Mamdani for the Democratic nominee, and tried to re-write history making it look like the market was betting on Mamdani the entire time.

Imagine if NYT decided Trump as a big of threat to NY (has stolen $18 billion from NY as he prepares to escalate paramilitary to assault non-white people on street) as it has apparently decided Mamdani is to NY (he wants free busses, the horror!)

NYT is way harder on Mamdani (Democratic Socialists who wants free busses) than Trump (Fascist who has stolen >$10 billion, ordered paramilitary to roam the streets, undermined economy with absurd tariffs, illegally murdered >50 people on high seas).

Of the 63 Nobel winners in physics, chemistry, and medicine in the 21st century who won living/working in a country other than where they are born 41 were in the US. This has a huge value to US. This is what Trump wants to destroy. H/T @nature.com

NYT is so excited for Trump to tear down that boring old White House and build himself a proper palace: “There’s no telling just what this town might look like by the end of this term. But there will sure be a lot more to look at.”

If you have a large enough monitor, you can find the article about the largest protest in US history just at the bottom of NYT. You better believe the tiny Tea Party protests were right up at the top.
