Two dead in a tornado in my hometown and local officials are being shitty to my coworkers to the point I had to pull “tell them I sent you” as a reflex

31-0. Miami Ohio is a mid-major group that stayed together in the portal era and scores more than 90 points per game. In a new era with fewer Cinderellas than ever, this should be America's Team.

We should absolutely do this with the whole lot of things (ai, polymarket, sports betting in general, crypto) on a grand scale tbh

Firstly, can confirm I’ve never had an editor at The Verge or any other publication give feedback worded like this.

Secondly, AI is godawful at writing and editing because it HAS NO EDITORIAL TASTE.

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

The good part is that driving to JFK from literally anywhere is super convenient, quick, reliable and drama-free

Still wild to me that if you take the AirTrain from the terminal to pick up a rental car at Federal Circle it's free, but if you take it to the subway or LIRR it costs an ever-increasing amount of money.

So, obviously this isn’t true. But if the CEO actually believes this nonsense, it implies he thinks maybe he’s enslaving a sentient being that has the capacity to feel emotional distress. And he hasn’t immediately halted operations to suss out how to resolve that?

Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Hailed as one of the most exciting live acts on the road today, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are musical beacons of the Southwest fueled by witty and insightful lyrics, crunching guitar riffs, a dynamic rhythm section and tequila.

Gotta be like 50 shows in there and they're all either full sets or close to it

Wait are you aware that he put his whole 2016 tour — with the 20 year tribute to FFBB at each show — up on his Bandcamp, where it remains today?

Good morning. These, somehow, are the names of four local restaurants:
1. The Toasted Barrel
2. The Toasted Yolk
3. Toasted Crust
4. Toast! All Day
Three are in walking distance of each other in Downtown Savannah, which I will refer to as “The Toast District” from now on.

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate.
In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate.
A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership.
"Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.

They also didn’t pay cover 🖕

Went on Facebook just now for work and I serioosly can't even fathom how it's still appealing even to the most Facebook brained person alive. Every post is just obviously made up ai slop and the link is to a site called like moom.ba or something
