There is ZERO social utility in prediction markets. The only arguments I could even find are gobbledygook about increases in betting "acting as an early warning system" and biotech experts and researchers "having financial skin in the game."

Looks like Mayor Z's pied a terre tax is not collapsing the real estate market or causing the wealthy to flee Manhattan after all. Indeed, the opposite. Who could have possibly imagined this scenario? www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.
What a game by Cabo Verde. Almost did the impossible.
Jose Pagliery@josepagliery.bsky.social · last mo.The entire African country of Cabo Verde has 3% of the population of the Argentinian city of Buenos Aires. Its total land mass is roughly equivalent to Argentina's third largest national park. They nearly defeated the world's powerhouse team.

I don’t know anything else about this young feller but what a winning ad. The arm sweeps, the “what happened here?!,” the explicit mention of smart use of tax dollars. Perfection.
gamera obscura@ohrobin.bsky.social · last mo.This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.

The irony here is that writing Gen. 9:12 on your cap is predicated on a misreading/mistranslation of the verse. God sets his "bow in the clouds" -- but "bow" (qesheth in Hebrew) refers to a weapon, a war or battle bow, not a rainbow. God is setting aside warring vengeance, not creating a rainbow.

Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin shot. Revisit @deldeib.bsky.social's story, a Sidney Award winner:
Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.
