@PolymarketSport This is so shameful

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Disgraceful from this pair. Polymarket should not be anywhere near professional sports. It doesn't matter if they're talented athletes, it's fine to shame people for their naked greed.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Thinking about @hasanthehun, who doesn't have a multimillion dollar contract, passing up on $1,000,000 from Polymarket out of principle.

🚨We're honored to announce that the Roommates Show with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart & Matt Hillman has named Polymarket as their presenting podcast partner for the 2026-27 season.

Zohran doing such a good job, a small personnel change is being touted as a news story.

[Sally Goldenberg @SallyGold]

NEW: @NYCMayor's team abruptly & inexplicably fired his director of advance, Val Sanders. By many accounts Sanders did his job well & staffers were surprised by the nature of his ouster. It comes as 3 deputy mayors' chiefs of staff have left their posts.

@bucephalus424 On my list

This stings. I have no idea why a brand with this cache and value would just disappear.

(Strangely, just this morning, I was making the Obsidian > Bioware case to another dorky friend.)

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Thanks, and so glad that the excellent @mollycrabapple agreed to do that beautiful cover!

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Damn, who thought Ulbricht was a world-historic figure?

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@maxshanly This guy could've stolen $125 dollars from me and THEN blocked me. It don't make sense.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Fake Ben Burgis has blocked me. He wanted $1,500 to give Ben back his account. I countered at $250 (half upfront, half on receipt), figuring it would make for a good Christmas gift. Immediate block.

Tough as nails, this guy is an old-school negotiator.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@mattieenigmatic I agree there's a real critique here but it was taken too far

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

The SGA slander and Wemby love in the WCF drove me crazy.

[kang @jaycaspiankang]

Reminder: wemby still on fraud alert from last year’s finals.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@nkulw The only consolation is, judging from the box score, Mitch had a rough opener too

[Jeremy Edwards @JeremyMarrell]

Today, the @Gothamist goes out of its way to mischaracterize @NYCMayor’s relationship with Black communities, relying primarily on a single event from FEBRUARY, while refusing to include polling from April & August that shows the Mayor’s robust support amongst Black New Yorkers.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

A century and a half after Friedrich Engels explored the housing question, socialization remains its best answer, meeting diverse housing needs and preferences while avoiding the risks and arbitrary windfalls of market-based approaches. https://t.co/s6rMNv6CbF

There's no way KCP should be in any contender's rotation in 2026

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@yachtdestroyer I was just speaking generally. I followed the referendum campaign but not much since. Like I said, governance could take multiple forms. Seems more consequential in capitalism than in a fully socialist economy. Housing isn't the same thing as productive property in that respect.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Socialize all housing. 🏡🟥🧵

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

@yachtdestroyer We focused on ownership & allocation. Tenant councils are compatible with what we propose. I'm unsure though. The Q how to combine residents’ control over homes w/planning that also represents ppl who need housing. Doesn't follow it should be exclusive control by existing tenants

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

This is a rough sketch of a socialist horizon on housing. But it's important we have a destination in mind: a system that preserves the security and freedom of a home of one’s own without tying it to private accumulation.

[Bhaskar Sunkara @sunraysunray]

Socialized housing doesn’t mean everyone gets the same apartment. Some people want more space; others would rather spend their income elsewhere. Collective living and family homes can coexist, with adequate housing guaranteed for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it.
