    Watching a bunch of fancy-themselves-savvy tech types coming to the realization that &quot;prediction markets&quot; are just bookie joints used by crooks and degenerates is pretty funny.

    Letter to the editor in the local paper citing wind turbines &quot;disrupting ocean breezes&quot; and solar panels &quot;absorbing the sun&#39;s energy&quot; as likely causes for extreme weather 🙄

    Thanks to a re-watch of the Backrooms videos last weekend, my YouTube recommendations are now a giant slab of dead mall and abandoned places walk-throughs, interspersed with a few &quot;This mall is surprisingly not dead&quot; videos.

    I&#39;m watching the Monaco qualifications and I gotta say, they&#39;re not doing much to disabuse me of my opinion that F1 is a snooty European rich-guy sport.

    Watching the Monaco GP and I don&#39;t know any of these drivers or teams, but I gotta say I&#39;m happy to see the cars that say &quot;Oracle&quot; on them not doing well.

    As I said last week (or whenever), I was glad to see the verdict against Facebook and YouTube for deliberately designing a harmful and addictive product. But I wonder if the better analogy than the tobacco industry is how we regulate gambling. Or at least, how we *used to* regulate gambling, because now it seems we have decided as a society that gambling is awesome and should be integrated into every part of life. https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/what-many-parents-are-missing-abou...

    For no particular reason, I was just thinking about all those friends&amp;#39; houses from the late 1970s and early 1980s that had the bathroom wallpaper that looks like old-timey 19th century newspaper, with the ads for horseless carriages and Dr. Phosphate&amp;#39;s Miracle Health Drops and whatnot. I was always kind of jealous.
