If you want a longread today on the #CFTC, #federalism, and #sportsbetting, you're in luck. There's a major federalism battle brewing & lots at stake for states w/active sports betting markets. Key questions: 1. How exactly might the CFTC developments transform US sports betting as we know it?

One of the benefits to appearing on a new platform and possessing a miniscule following is the sense of freedom to experiment. With that in mind, I'm going to mess around w/a creative exercise for 14 days. Calling it 'Haikurrent Events', going to write a haiku on, yes, current events for 14 days

The NFL subreddit has 11,622,582 subs. Have seen this across reddit today but this is perhaps the largest community so far to impose the ban. Also interesting how the frustration mounted over UX stuff and then the salute(s) became the tipping point. #reddit

Doing some research and came across this paper by the venerable Bill Eadington. This paragraph really struck me. I guess one underlying force is that many people do not respect gambling as a hobby, probably because it is widely considered a "vice." pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/...
