"This is not the first time Meta has experimented with prediction markets. In 2020, it released Forecast, a crowdsourced prediction market app that prompted people to make guesses about the world in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. The app was positioned as a way to share crowdsourced knowledge. It used a points system to make predictions about the future. Meta shuttered the app in 2022. Since then, prediction markets have exploded into a cultural phenomenon, featured during major sports events and in the Golden Globes telecast. In 2025, Kalshi and Polymarket drew a combined $50 billion in online trades. This year, the total has already surpassed $130 billion."
Quoting from the NYT: "Mr. Trump’s hand is frequently bruised and bandaged, but the White House officials said that was from all of the handshaking he likes to do. And he is not sleeping during public events, like the game at Madison Square Garden. He is just looking down, they said, **or actively listening with his eyes closed.** Other times, they believe he is the victim of selective editing or unflattering camera angles."

A quote from the article: Shivon Zilis, who has worked with Mr. Musk at several of his companies and is known to be the mother of three of his children, posted a video last week of Mr. Musk playing Diablo. In the replies, she recounted a memory of when he gamed for 17 hours on Christmas Day in 2023. “He took breaks for family meals and Xmas presents but was too excited for sleep, which is how he made both time with the kiddos and a 17 hour AoZ push work that day,” she wrote, referring to a challenge in Diablo. “Was a joy to see him having so much fun with it!”

But we have been here before. Or at least I have. In the run-up to the election of 2008, I was enchanted with the idea that Barack Obama's Blackness offered some kind of serious promise. I thought the Obamas' presence in the White House would help to normalize Black success and power in Americans' eyes. I thought it would temper what I regard as a tendency to overplay the power of racism in modern America and discount the massive progress we have made on the issue. That didn't work out. The Obamas were barely unpacked at the White House when the wise word came from legions of the writerly class that the election of a Black man didn't mean that America was "postracial." The killings of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, with the assistance of newly pervasive social media, fueled a narrative that being gunned down, especially by cops who would later be exonerated, is a defining aspect of Black existence. A popular idea has been that Donald Trump's election was a resentful backlash again
