Health Secretary F Kennedy Jr claims Trump has a “different way” of calculating percentages. RFK Jr told a Senate hearing on Wednesday April 22 that when TrumpRx, a government website cuts the price of a drug from $600 to $10, that is a “600% reduction.”
(factually 98% reduction)
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
hyperstitions.
@Geiger_Capital Orbán relied on gerrymandering for ages, but still suffered a >75% defeat- all while extensive control over the media, courts, finances, and cruel intelligence networks.
