Interesting how there’s no disclosure in this piece highlighting Polymarket that the WSJ has a partnership with Polymarket

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

I'm old enough to remember when they dragged Hillary Clinton in front of multiple Congressional investigations over the handling of the Benghazi evacuation.

That was over one embassy.

This is an entire region being treated even more flippantly.

Before he faced Aaron Judge, Joseph Contreras had to finish his high school classwork The 17-year-old Team Brazil righty, son of former MLB pitcher Jose Contreras, got out of a huge jam against Team USA's star-studded lineup.

A 17-year-old got Aaron Judge to ground into a bases-loaded double play on Friday night. First, he had to finish his social studies homework. Math homework kept him busy on Thursday. Meet Joseph Contreras, JosΓ©'s son and the youngest player in WBC history - www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...

Remember when they pretended for like 0.2 seconds that they were doing this FOR Iranians?

She lost by 150k votes 53.2% to 45.5%

If she actually had a manager... Man she probably could have actually pushed to a truly close race or even won.

It's amazing how they just never changed or adapted to the market.

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

No campaign manager?

Good lord she would have gotten slaughtered if she didn't get one for the actual campaign if she had won the primary.

Lmao at Robert Kraft thinking he had that town basically in his pocket that it would take "trust me bro" IOUs. What a fucking dipshit.

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

But seriously. I literally made some reasonable battery resupply/software update download excuse up to get an overnight trip to one of the big bases in downtown Kandahar where my BN had a team because my COP was remote enough that none of the microwave-based wifi suppliers would reach our base.

What do you mean it's been 14 years since Mass Effect 3 launched while I was deployed to Afghanistan and had to finagle a trip off my tiny little COP to another base that had wifi so I could do the initial game authentication code on my laptop with EA servers to even play in offline mode.....

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

After the DOGE group showed up but before MPD arrived, the USIP building had been placed in lockdown mode, meaning all interior doors were locked and elevators were no longer operable. So once in the building, MPD needed to manually break down interior doors to give Trump's team full access.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Finding myself in need of a cool baseball hat. Not sized, I almost exclusively wear ponytails with them.

Anyone know of any cool designs? I'm certain I've seen some I love but that's when I wasn't looking for one πŸ˜…
