I’ve been on this Earth over half a century. I’ve followed current events closely my entire life and have watched the conservative movement slide toward gutter racism over much of that time. It’s still shocking to see them climb all way into that sewer and roll around in the shit.

I really think tonight’s loss is on the front office. Look at the lineup and subs and tell me you would expect them to win a game, much less be able to sub in and turn a game around. The FO didn’t get deals done in the summer, and mark my words, they won’t in the winter window either. #RCTID

Say you're in a room with 400 people. 36 don't have health insurance. 48 live in poverty. 85 are illiterate. 90 have untreated mental illnesses. And everyday, at least 1 person is shot. But 2 are trans so you decide ruining their lives is a priority. That is what's happening right now.

GTFOH. Prediction markets are a scourge.
“Weather is a quintessential prediction-market category,” said Will Brackett, head of partnerships at Kalshi. “It affects people every day, from the decisions you make about your commute to work to businesses and policymakers.”

In turn, the Weather Co., which operates weather.com and the Weather Channel app, is now using Kalshi’s probability data where relevant on its app and website, displaying the trades to give its users a snapshot of how markets are pricing weather risk.

“Our priority is ensuring Kalshi’s settlements rest on objective, scientifically validated atmospheric data,” said James Belanger, vice president of meteorology at the Weather Co.

Kalshi recently announced another partnership with Cantor Fitzgerald. The investment bank said it would arrange block trades on everything from weather forecasts to iPhone sales through the predictions market.

Weather trading has drawn attention—both good and bad—as it attracts more users. Prediction markets might actually be the best source to gauge the forecast, Patrick Brown, head of climate analytics at Interactive Brokers, said in a report. Meanwhile, Kalshi competitor Polymarket is being scrutinized for offering bets on disasters such as wildfires.

Dolly Parton took her fame and fortune and used it to do good. She took criticism and changed things in her entertainment empire related to the less savory legacy of the South. The billionaire bros sitting on their dragon hoards will NEVER be as beloved by pretty much everyone like Dolly.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

It carried many sneering names over the decades: 'political correctness,' 'women's lib,' 'the gay agenda,' 'multiculturalism,' 'critical race theory,' among other things. Every single one was a weapon to denigrate the project of building a more inclusive America. That's it, that's the whole story.

FWIW, I think the question of "Did Woke 1 go to far?" it depends on where you ask! On college campuses? Sometimes. In making cops responsible for bad behavior? Obviously not! In holding sex pests and criminals to account? Clearly incomplete, look at the damn White House.
