Kalshi rolled out its first player prop bets just in time for kickoff Thursday night, letting users wager on who will score touchdowns in Week 1 NFL games. First, next, anytime, or even multiple trips to the end zone are now fair game. Yardage and defensive stats remain off-limits, presumably because baby steps are safer…
Prediction Pulse: Lisa Cook faces Trump challenge, Trump Jr. plays both markets, and Taylor Swift turns Polymarket into a payday
This week in prediction markets, Donald Trump Jr. somehow managed to secure himself a seat on both sides of the table. The man has officially joined the advisory ranks at Polymarket while also moonlighting at Kalshi. One imagines the awkward small talk when both companies end up at the same cocktail party. Polymarket made the…
Trump says he has struck a trade deal with Hanoi — lowers tariffs to 20% for Vietnamese goods, but adds 40% tax on loophole Chinese companies use to circumvent measures
U.S. President Donald Trump has posted on Truth Social, stating that he has reached a deal with Vietnam to allow U.S. goods to enter the country without a tariff.

The golden Trump Phone is almost certainly not made in the US
Not content with a real estate empire and the presidency of the United States, the Trump family is wading into the phone wars like it’s 2011 with a shiny gold monstrosity called the T1, the marketing of which leans extensively on the narrowest idea of patriotism. Beyond the immediate question — why do this, like,…

Why a new anti-revenge porn law has free speech experts alarmed | TechCrunch
Privacy and digital rights advocates are raising alarms over a law that many would expect them to cheer: a federal crackdown on revenge porn and AI-generated deepfakes.

Trump Revenge Tour Targets Cyber Leaders, Elections – Krebs on Security
President Trump last week revoked security clearances for Chris Krebs, the former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) who was fired by Trump after declaring the 2020 election the most secure in U.S. history. The White House memo, which also suspended clearances for other security professionals at Krebs’s employer SentinelOne, comes as…
This Compelling Time Travel Adventure Is A Must-Play
Seven years ago, Wadjet Eye Games released Unavowed, a point-and-click adventure that took the industry by surprise. Incorporating ideas from BioWare RPGs, this was a game in which the companions you took with you for any mission changed not only how the puzzles were solved, but how the story was told. It was magnificent, and…
Tabletop teams near panic as Trump tariffs could kill decades of growth
President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on foreign goods Wednesday, with the reportedly “arbitrary” levies exceeding 60% in some cases.

No, Daredevil: Born Again’s Fisk Is Not An Allegory For Trump
Daredevil: Born Again is really quite something. It feels like the first genuinely adult-focused project within the MCU, and its shocking brutality is all the more surprising for being created by Disney.
