We pretty much stopped doing the sports pod because professional sports, especially American sports are getting increasingly predatory. I mean, if you can squeeze more $$$ who cares about the actual games, fans or growth and sustainability of the sport.
The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Hey @gruber.foo this is what having some actual fucking ethics looks like.
ESPN producer Nicole Noren quits over sports broadcasting's increasingly predatory promotion of gambling: “I’m not going to work for a gambling company and have blood on my hands.”
I forget, has the federal ICAC done anything yet?
Treasurer Jim Chalmers is attempting to change the law to censor publicly available ASIC data. With his proposed secrecy changes, this expose into the anti-Voice bankrollers (and many, many more) would not be possible. (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/white-mans-d...

An interesting exercise. @davidepstein.bsky.social would love it, constraints are his thing. I think this is a good representation of what has shaped me musically. my9albums.org/s/43972101c8e4

This might be the dumbest political thing I have ever seen written down. We allowed private corporations to get insanely rich of the resources OF THIS FUCKING COUNTRY while we took a pittance off them and you are going to criticise Norway?
That's not true. If you tax gas - what do we spend it on, because of itis recurrent expenditure it turns us into Norway being addicted to fossil revenue. It must be spent on a once off. Building massive public housing - word salad until without the *HOW* to overcome the real resource constraints.

The dude is a multi millionaire don't talk about risk ffs
some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.
