Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 4w agoMy real hot take is that even if we can't kill these kind of markets outright, we should mandate that you can't bet on the results of a thing after the results have started coming in.
George Pearkes@peark.es · last mo.It’s a binary pricing of an outcome that’s going down to a few thousand ballots? Of course it’s going to swing like mad as very small changes have very large leverage to that outcome. As for the pricing heading in, it’s just a big vibes dial, same as it ever was.
We knew it had probably happened to someone, but it's always nice to get confirmation that yes, someone did in fact get hit with a giant flying bolder hurled from some distance away.
Caroline Baxter@convergingriskslab.bsky.social · last mo.Collins is playing it fast and loose with her re-election here. She really can't afford to be taking hard votes to let Trump continue the extremely unpopular war right now.
Senate Press Gallery@senatepress.bsky.social · last mo.By a vote of 49-50, the Senate did not agree to the motion to discharge S. J. Res. 181. GOP Senators voting aye: Collins, Murkowski, and Paul. Senator Fetterman (D) voted no. Senator McConnell did not vote.
Fundamentally I think it just comes down once again that people like OP here is talking to just can't conceive of big numbers. 36 million people is an objectively large number of people. It's also obj. less than 13% of the US population. Saying most people aren't that <13% /= them not existing.
Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social · last mo.You can just say “I don’t have any data I’m using here”
Okay, but those green chairs are awesome. I would hate the desk though.
Sarah Archer@sarcher.bsky.social · last mo.If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.
While we're talking about The Odyssey, can we take a second to appreciate one of the greatest exchanges of dialogue in the history of superhero fiction?
Senator Astronaut has just shot his campaign in the gut because he can't read the room. I suppose it's nice to just get that out of the way I guess. As things stand anyone who's saying anything even remotely defensive of Netanyahu in 2026 is not winning the Dem nomination. I hope that doesn't change
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 2mo ago2028 presidential contender Senator Mark Kelly says he is "always going to stand by (our ally) Israel" on Sunday's Meet the Press at NBC. He denies the Gaza genocide, says Bibi made "some mistakes" and criticizes Mamdani for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.

People mocking Apple TV marketing is how I learn about every new show I end up watching on the platform. I watch stuff on it several times a week. Honestly can’t tell if this is a good move for them. Be so bad at marketing people do it for you.
The indoctrination program involves 80s & 90s action movies and not just Gilbert and Sullivan musicals. That's how you get bisexuality. Gay is just the action movies chopped into scenes of the stars with their shirts off.

You couldn't pay me enough to eat that peach. That's the kind of sign a person who poisons food themselves or who has enemies who poison food posts right before the thief drops dead.

I blame the McConnell proof of life photo for crashing the mood. Just when you think your team has hit a double but video replay means it was only a single.

This is such a failure to be a proper newsman. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend. Trump take sport trophy is the legend become fact.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe US will lose because they faced a better opposition, made a couple of bad mistakes, and did create real chances. Not because of Trump.
Given who's in charge I'm surprised it's not 881,447 frankly. Maybe Steven Miller has not been allowed to plan part of this.
amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · 2mo agoFireworks are always set off by the pool. The fencing happens every year. What is different is that last year was less than 8,000 fireworks and this year is supposed to be 851,000.

Do I need mastercard to be my friend? No Do I need them to fear what will happen to their revenue stream if they are homophobic? Yes.
of course they never cared about Pride, but the world in which they pretend to care is vastly better than the one in which they don't pretend and we are seeing it in real time we want the money to think there's more profit in being performatively woke than performatively bigoted
JP@jpbrammer.bsky.social · 3mo agoI mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel
I will not be baited into the surplus-bison thread! It must arise organically. (Also I’m taking my kids to the pool now.)

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little to no money in my crypto x FTX wallet, and nothing particular to interest me on twitch, I thought I would discord surf a little and see the wavy part of the chat.

Good! The Car Dealership Republican is an evil thing and we should absolutely destroy their power base and money source! That it's also good politics because people hate Car Dealers is gravy on top.
