Community Notes seems like pretty pointless moderation unless there is a penalty for users who repeatedly get corrected by it.
If you live in a swing state, are an undecided voter or planning on reluctantly voting for Trump, and are game for a conversation, send me a DC! 🇺🇸
I understand this is intended to increase the turnaround time, but why is it better to catch the rocket than just let it land, and immediately pick it up? 🤔
TIL about Chongqing.
Had never heard that word or it had never registered, but it is a megacity containing ~32 million people.
China is big. 🫠

From what I can tell, the best all-time ROI on Polymarket is only about 17%*.
If smart money can get rich in prediction markets, why aren't they?
*leaderboard ranks by total profit rather than % so its possible non-whales have higher ROI

Polymarket was favoring Trump up to election day in 2020, while polls favored Biden (I remember cus I made $ on it).
It will probably be more accurate now that the liquidity is larger, but there is a strong bias toward republicans in crypto prediction markets.

Regular reminder to anyone convinced Trump is the last hope to save the constitution: he called for terminating it.
TIL Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy and one of the reasons was the endless shrimp deal. 🥲🍤

this was playing when I was in a record store over 20 years ago and it blew my mind. one of the coolest examples of global music cross pollination.
If Warpcast added the ability to make channel casts not appear in your profile feed, I think it could increase the likelihood of communities choosing FC over telegram or discord.
Benefit of this is it enables curating a primary identity while still contributing to dorky sub cultures.

Underrated benefit of gated channel membership: it’s possible to get high quality commentary on real-time events by turning on notifications whenever someone posts in a channel.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is getting really close to the threshold needed to go into effect. 🤞

my favorite part of the new channels design is that it enables the network to be socially fragmented as it grows
more fragmentation => less misunderstanding, dunking, vitriol

Sammy Virji is mainly known for bangers but the jazz harmonies on his more chill tracks are very underrated. Like if Bill Evans or Coltrane made house music.
He also frequently has a key change mid song, which is pretty unheard of. ex:

Jon Stewart became host of The Daily Show in 1999. I watched it before he was there and became a total addict after 9/11.
But most people don’t know he hosted The Jon Stewart Show years earlier. It only lasted 2 seasons, and he speaks about how the failure prepared him for TDS in this episode. Love that guy.
