The method is “100 percent fatal,” claims the company.
We are living in the dumbest and most absurd timeline where *Idiocracy* meets *Silicon Valley* except nothing is funny and I hate it all.

White House staff warned not to place bets on prediction markets
The gambling platforms have grown in popularity, with some users making wagers on conflicts.
Obviously the stock trading is bad enough, but this shit is ridiculous. It’s insider trading that’s basically untraceable and the fact they even have to issue this warning only proves the corruption happening within the administration.

Peter Magyar’s Tisza wins Hungary election as Viktor Orban concedes
Longtime Prime Minister Viktor Orban has conceded defeat in the country's parliamentary election.

‘The Drama’ Is Now A24’s Third-Best Box-Office Opening
Audiences said ‘I do’ to the rage-bait-y rom-com, making it A24’s third-highest-grossing opening to date.
I honestly did not see this coming, even with the high opinion and known quantity that Zendaya and Robert Pattinson are. The movie just didn't seem to really be connecting to its marketing. And while Dream Scenario was a fun movie, it wasn't superb, so we're not selling tickets based off the creator. It has to be a Zendaya thing, but it still surprises me a bit.
