Kalshi, a sports betting site, reported on Monday that Carney had a 14% chance to take the prize. The prime minister leads the humanitarian organization, Doctors […]

      I treat every bit of “news” from those sources (Kalshi, Polymarket) as outright manipulation. They have a vested interest in presenting either one of two sides, depending on how the odds fall that day. But they have zero duty to truth.

    Why are we pretending that Kalshi matters? Unless there are insiders betting, which has its own separate problems

      Because prediction markets gambling companies have a marketing strategy where they sponsor news outlets in exchange for reporting the predictions to feign legitimacy. CNN is probably the worst, but it’s everywhere.

        Where it is, there’s actually a ton of insiders during trading on there as well. We’ve actually had a couple of news stories break regarding it. One for Trump’s speeches, I think.

      In double speak society, where “war” means “peace”

      He openly did this with “board of peace”, which is full of people who have committed (or profited from) war (crimes)

      Whenever trump says the word “peace”, just replace it with “war” and then it makes sense.

      Because Nobel means nothing.

      Didn’t the namesake make biological weapons for war?

      If you want a prize that doesn’t celebrate war criminals, checkout the Right Livelihood award. Truly excellent people win those awards.

            Where I come from, 13-16 years old is not yet a grown woman. Those qualify as children. Girls, not women.

        Yeah, I get that, but he isn’t getting embarrassed, because he just uses these narcissistic collapses to change the topic by doing new extreme harm to large swaths of innocent people. I don’t need constant reports on how he’s about to feel slighted, I need constant reports on who is letting him do his awful shit, and how to organize pressure against those people so we can affect change.

    There should be zero humiliation from a war-mongering coward of a criminal rapist and child-fucking pedophile for not receiving an award created to promote and reward GOOD PEOPLE.

        “The peace prize was given to zzz, a known war monger and authoritarian, as well as removing rights from his citizenry. The blast killed 5 of his administrative staff and injured 6 others while destroying a number of offices in the wing of the administrative center. It is hoped none of the injured staff survive. Turmoil reigns in the country as people resign rather than being named the new leader and be put at risk of receiving the next peace prize whose frequency has been increased to weekly due to popular demand.”
