Bettors wagered $54 million on Khamenei’s death. Now they’re not getting paid. Kalshi, a prediction market site, has sparked outrage after freezing $54 million in bets on the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing a rule against profiting from death.

New: I talked to the traders who bet Khamenei would die.

One, an Israeli ex-pat, would've won $63,000 before Kalshi froze the bet: β€œI was booking my trip to Courchevel.”

β€œAmerican commercial immorality on steroids," @chrismurphyct.bsky.social told me

The line is thin but it’s not blue. It is not the thin blue line, okay? Jeez

The line between kindergartener and police union boss is a lot thinner than it may seem.

Anyone else cooped up with a newborn at the hospital during a historic blizzard? Anyone? @mayor.nyc.gov can baby Ava get an official escort? She’s a Knicks fan.

Gonna drive our newborn baby girl home from the hospital after it dumps eighteen inches of snow. Sorry to my fans but I will not be live-skeeting through the event.

On Thursday, a campaign account for North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running for Senate, posted that the Democrat was seen β€œVOTEMAXXING” near North Carolina State University. One day prior, the Republican National Committee released a statement praising President Donald Trump for β€œjobsmaxxing” the economy. Betr, a sportsbetting company, wrote that NBA superstar LeBron James, seen horsing around before a game, was β€œjestermaxxing.”

Was there ever such a clear signal of societal decay when the Roman Empire collapsed?

TV antennas and Super Bowl rehearsals: How prediction market traders seek an edge As prediction markets boom, competition is heating up. So traders go the extra mile for a fraction-of-a-second advantage or to sleuth out information nobody else has. It can lead to a huge payday.

Prediction market traders are β€œseeking alpha” by buying TV antennas for a millisecond of speed, timing the Super Bowl national anthem rehearsal in person and uncovering not-yet-public press releases hiding in the HTML of websites. Anything for an edge!
