The people of LA were promised a “Zero-Cost” Games.
— LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia (@lacontroller) August 12, 2026
That means ALL EXCESS CITY SERVICES provided to the Olympics should be REIMBURSED, and no $ should go to a “Legacy Entity” until the City is made whole.
Now it’s Council’s responsibility to protect our City & YOUR TAX DOLLARS.

Remember Phia? Well, it looks like the cookie stuffing was going on for a lot longer than previously disclosed. And co-founders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni knew about and encouraged the development of the software features that enabled it. https://t.co/bvFeSEvuR9

Damn, @oliviasolon has the Slack messages from the Phia founders that reaaaaally seem to contradict their inital claim they had no idea about the cookie stuff and it was just a bug https://t.co/2eu5NgsKlN pic.twitter.com/IEkeukVdCy

Spotted in Coinbase’s most recent 10-Q: Coinbase has stopped using trading volume as a key metric, which is I’m sure completely unrelated to the 38%/48% decrease in spot trading volume they reported over the past three/six months

I wonder when Kaishi and Polymarket will start allowing users to bet on which senior Chinese leader will get purged next. Seriously, it may happen. Here's the Wall Street Journal teasing out that idea, reporting on Chinese chatrooms. pic.twitter.com/VSLTvL4EGd

If the Democrats really want to run on an anti corruption platform (and i think they should), this means coming out against prediction markets, crypto, and sports betting, all of which are either directly corrupt or facilitate corrupt acts.

It's good for a wider audience to see the bullshit you have to fend off to publish an investigative story in the UK. This letter is by turns wrong (cites appointments we now know Arday didn't have), emotionally manipulative (accuses the journo of being a racist) and menacing. https://t.co/IKIe5VKOcj

Sports are about to fall off a cliff. Only people lying about their wealth/exposure and oligarchs can now afford a team and they aren't people who like rules (Ballmer). Only pool left is corporations and private equity. Professional sports are doomed.
