We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

Arguing with a pro Trump immigrant I know - she really things ICE is awesome and if immigrants really should just do things the right way. Some people are just dumb forever. (Tbf I’ve always thought she was dumb)

primaries are finally over. labor day has come and gone. there is no such thing as a protest vote. you are not "teaching anyone "a lesson" by staying home. we need to end a cruel, stupid, and dangerous disaster and our only chance is voting for every Democrat on your ballot. that's it. that's all.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I see WHY you feel that way, but I think the reality is that the nation is currently being run by the dumbest fucking people on the planet.

Trump voted by mail in Florida's Republican primary, according to local voting records — even as he continues to rail against mail-in voting with lies of fraud.

Trump votes by mail again in his home state of Florida
Voting records from Palm Beach County show the president requested his ballot in late July and it was returned on Aug. 13.

Sometimes it's helpful to remember that this extremely stupid president is living his final years in complete misery and total fear. There has not been a moment in the last decade where he has seemed even remotely happy to me. He made his bed.

Here’s my sincere thought about Trump & Elon: what the fuck are they going to do with all the money they’re stealing from us? It’s not like they plan to enjoy it - they are incapable of being happy. Their only joy is watching others suffer..

Trump’s net worth has almost tripled since he’s been back in office. He rugged his crypto followers for over $500 million. Over $1.4 billion in total crypto profit. Financial corruption hawks on the right, where you at?

My immigrant hairdresser loves to complain about immigrants. And in the same breath today told me how easy it was to get a green card and citizenship in the 70s. Doesn’t get the irony when I point out that there’s no easy way anymore. Just says, “I know,” and keeps on cutting.

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath. Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

If you believe that not voting sends a message, you’re wrong. It just shows you’re out of touch. If you want change, you must go to the voting booth. Voting is your constitutional right to make changes to your government. Register to vote, help a neighbor, help someone get ID and register to vote
