Michael Jordan may have six rings but he never made it to 8 percent in Polymarket probabilities to become the next president of the United States like LeBron, above a former vice president and a popular swing state governor.
Polymarket just launched their 2028 election and nominee markets and Gavin Newsom is ahead. He would be a terrific nominee and an amazing president. MAGA wouldn’t have a chance after Trump’s disastrous presidency.

Trump is finally taking the fight to Putin. Sort of. For now. But the change is not reflective of Trump adopting a new worldview. He did not develop a fondness for Ukraine. He did not become a believer in transatlantic alliances Rather, he got insulted theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Star Trek First Contact. A movie I love! Why did the Federation decide to keep the Enterprise away from the battle? Corollary: Why did the Borg not go farther back in time to assimilate Earth?
Which continuity error or plot hole in a movie always sticks out in your mind?
