2 young billionaires are behind the prediction market boom. They hate each other The 20-something billionaires who run Kalshi and Polymarket are battling it out to be the top prediction market company. Observers and former insiders say the feud is just heating up.

Well, I guess they each have one thing in common with me

A lot of the behavior is similar, but it feels like everyone has dropped the veneers of tradition or respectability they used to keep up. I think we have pretty direct precedents from the Jackson and Reagan governments.

My prediction for the second half of 2026 is that gastroenterology business is booming after every restaurant gets on the high protein everything trend.

Good blog that I think makes two important points:

1) All of these AI companies are not the exact same and you are intentionally not learning much if you flatten them into one thing

2) Don't get carried away lol

It's always low-key frustrating when people use DC as a stand-in for like "national politics"

They'll be talking about a conservative pundit and be like "she's huge in DC social circles" and it's like... no she isn't she's in Tennessee full time, she just has politician friends

the republican party line is, fairly explicitly, "we will kill your children if you don't vote for us because we know you won't kill our children if we don't vote for you," and the appropriate response to the existence of such a political party is to outlaw it

Saw it outside on his walk home and simply chased it until it got too tired to run, and then used his belt like a lasso to bring it home for me to deal with

I am always flashing back to the day my husband called me on my way home to say he found a dog outside and captured it and brought it home, and had it on our patio

And I got home and it was straight up a wolf

Hey, remember when the Museum of the Bible bought thousands of stolen artifacts that were possibly sold by ISIS smugglers? I guess those probably aren't in the movie.
