Somewhat embarrassingly, this one. In my defense it was very popular when I got it 34 years ago.

But somehow "predictive markets" are treated by a lot of people - and media! - as the actual chance of a thing happening. For instance, this graph about Apple. This is just not indicative of a 43% chance of this happening. Merely that 43% of the bettors are willing to lose money if it doesn't.
A Polymarket graph reading "Tim Cook out as Apple CEO before 2027? 43% chance."

Conniption gin, hop-infused vodka, a titch of dry vermouth, dried lime garnish. Light bitterness, floral. The gin plays well with the hops. I wouldn't mind a splash more citrus. Weirdly reminiscent of a dirty martini.

When I was a kid I was a big Batman fan. I have a ton of old (well-kept) Batman comics that I have a lot of genuine nostalgia for (plus the Keaton movie with the Prince soundtrack is 🤌). But as I get older this is where I lose the thread on Batman.

You know, the funny part about taking the time to remove the copper pair telephone jacks from my walls as I redo my room is remembering how much time I spent learning how to install the goddamn things in the 90s.

Just finally got my AV setup fixed after the subwoofer being broken and my left channel being wonky for months. Trying it out with the most recent @curtiseller.bsky.social record and it sounds incredible. There's still one more Bandcamp Friday before Christmas. Just sayin'.

Internet, I need your help. What kind of neckware is this technically? It's not a bowtie (as we now know them, anyway) or a kerchief or an ascot. What's going on here? I want/need one.
Sam the Snowman from the Rankin Bass Rudolph Special. He's wearing a dashing plaid vest, a bowler, and a black piece of neckware. He holds an umbrella to ward off Bumbles. Remember! Burl Ives was a huge shitbag that turned in other artists to to the FBI as communists and socialists and got people banned from performing.
