Bettors wagered $54 million on Khamenei’s death. Now they’re not getting paid. Kalshi, a prediction market site, has sparked outrage after freezing $54 million in bets on the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, citing a rule against profiting from death.

New: I talked to the traders who bet Khamenei would die.

One, an Israeli ex-pat, would've won $63,000 before Kalshi froze the bet: “I was booking my trip to Courchevel.”

Instagram and TikTok are using your content to sell junk “Shop the look” buttons were added without creators’ consent

Last month, an influencer with 1M+ followers realized that Instagram was adding shoppable links to her content without her consent. A similar feature exists on TikTok. I wrote about the creator economy's final form, where all of us are subsumed by social commerce.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.

The main function of slop is to take something from you: your time, your attention, your trust. It is passive in that it requires nothing from viewers but to sit back and consume it. Slop is boring, repetitive, and often inexpensive to make — the natural evolution of an internet built for scale and ruthless optimization. Before his pivot to conservative politics, Shirley was making slop for babies: YouTube videos with titles like “16 YEAR OLD FLIES TO NEW YORK WITHOUT TELLING PARENTS” and “Giving My Teachers $1,000 for Christmas! *emotional*”

Tyler Oliveira’s early Youtube content, including pranks and “challenges” like “attempting to get everything 100% off at stores”
