According to this one report, Sixteen bets made $100,000 each accurately predicting the timing of the US airstrikes against Iran on 27 February. Later, a single user would make over $550,000 after betting that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would topple, just moments before his assassination by Israeli forces. On 7 April, right before Donald Trump announced a temporary ceasefire with Iran, traders bet $950m that oil prices would come down. They did. These bets and other well-timed wagers accurately predicted the precise timing of major developments in the US-Israel war with Iran, creating huge windfalls and raising concerns among lawmakers and experts over potential insider trading. Betting – once largely siloed to sporting events – has now spread to include contracts on news events where insider information could give some traders an advantage.
In case you're wondering (as I was) about where and how this shit is happening, turns out the proliferation of online betting markets like Polymarket and Kalshi has allowed bets on virtually any news event. It’s also easier than ever to buy commodity derivatives like oil futures, where traders gamble on what the price of oil will be in the future. What a world...

Maybe one of these days somebody'll get killed and they'll stop doing these stupid stunts. Most of the coverage of this one yesterday talked about the'rescuers' - the firemen who had to get this joker down. None of the coverage mentioned whether or not this was staged by the college or just an advertising stunt gone wrong. One thing's for certain - I'll be this guy shit his drawers on the final approach. Juss' sayin'... ...
Yeah - just don't quite get this one, either... ...

How truly fucked in the head does somebody have to be to even think of doing shit like this? Rat poison has been found in a jar of HiPP baby food, police in Austria have said, after a recall of the product from more than 1,000 Spar supermarkets in the country over safety fears. Police in Burgenland said in a statement that a sample from one of the 190g (7oz) jars of carrots and potatoes baby food reported by a customer had tested positive for rat poison.

Air rifles were mostly wooden in the early days, but back in 1882 an inventive guy named Clarence Hamilton made one of metal, built to fire a standard No. BB shotgun pellet, and showed the prototype to L.C. Hough, the firm’s general manager. Impressed with its power and accuracy, Hough reportedly exclaimed, “It’s a daisy!”
Hough’s notion was to manufacture the Hamilton rifle as a premium for farmers who bought iron windmills. But the farmers were more interested in the rifles. By 1890 Plymouth Iron Windmill had built, and given away, about 50,000 of them - at which point Mr. Hough decided they might just be onto something.
The company started selling rifles the following year. Business proved so lucrative that in 1895 Plymouth Iron stopped fooling with windmills altogether and changed its name to Daisy Manufacturing Co. - thus becoming gunmaker extraordinaire to generations of boys.
