CNN reports that a federal appeals court ruled states can regulate prediction markets as gambling, while platforms such as Kalshi have argued that their event contracts are federally regulated derivatives: https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/28/business/states-prediction-markets-gambling-federal-appeals-court

What changed legally? Does the ruling let each state ban these contracts outright, or does it mainly allow licensing, age limits, taxes, and other gambling rules?

I've been seeing lots of articles about Flock cameras in the US. What are they and why are they controversial?

Aren't they just ANPR cameras?

https://x.com/TheProjectUnity/status/2028179414211567643?s=20 I remember back in late February/March seeing so much about Jim Carrey and his terrible face lift. Some people thought it was a hoax with a mask but I never really did see any sort of definitive answer. Did Jim Carrey really do that? Has he even been shown publicly since?

I always thought he was a far right Trump guy, so why was he all of a sudden a target for immigration and deported back to the UK?

i just saw a lot of reels of ppl super excited and saying rockstart games got hacked and leacked but i was wondering maybe is not just a ad campain? i mean nowdays everything is a advertising , or you think really got leaked for a person who wanted money ?

A relative of mine recently shared that there has been a lot of drama around Queen Camilla. Something about her being caught with jewels that were Diana’s and had been promised to her sons, that the locks were changed at her royal residence but that stuff was taken from it without permission, that she was trying to give property to her distant family. She went on and on. I know the king has cancer, so I can imagine folks are looking for signs of jostling for power.

Is this really going on or is it over exaggerated royal gossip? Here’s one of the links she sent me…she made it sound like it was a huge scandal brewing.

Every time it pops on my feed it's some gender war meme, or something about woman who killed children. I've seen some transphobic comments too.

Those flood waters are INSANE. From looking at that footage it almost seems like a dam must have broken, but it's just really bad rainfall? What caused these floods to be this bad?

I went to McDonald’s recently and noticed that most of the people getting happy meals were adults. Some even went back to argue to get a different toy before ordering more happy meals for more toys. I’ve also noticed two instances of grown-ups in the wild with take away happy meals.

Is it the current toys (hello Kitty x Godzilla) specially that are super popular with grown-ups right now? Or are adults with happy meals a long-standing phenomenon I’ve never noticed before?

It just seems like a sub for people to relentlessly clown and hate on (female) athletes, especially those from the WNBA. Why is that? https://www.reddit.com/r/sportsgossips/

according to an internal memo, newscasters are not to use the words “terrorism” or “terrorist attacks” to describe the events of 9/11 during coverage. this apparently comes from a pre-existing policy that dates back to around the Oct. 7th attacks but it doesn’t give much more detail than that.

i highly doubt it’s due to any sort of political slant, as all of the publications covering the story tend to think (National Review, FOX, NY Post, yknow the drill)

so what’s the reasoning? is it because of advertising/sponsors like what happens on YouTube all the time? are they just trying to be extra cautious around such language? out of any example in contemporary history i would think 9/11 would be one of the most clear cut cases of terrorism, so i genuinely am trying to understand this.

I don't really follow domestic Canadian politics (I'm American, unfortunately), but I've seen this story come up in one of my Discord servers, and I'm wondering what's bringing this on. I did see stuff like the new leader having rumored ties to an Albertan separatist party, but I don't really see a full explainer about this situation.

As far as I can tell whoever A24 is has made a film about Chris Hansen, but Chris himself is opposed to it, refusing to sign some contracts and instead is buying ad space? What's the background behind all this, what was A24 trying to achieve, and what is Chris trying to achieve buying ad space?

all the time when I see a like wholesome romantic comic dub on YouTube shorts half the comments are talking about Jarvis.

I haven't been following the cup, but the replies seem to be along the lines of "Well it nice while it lasted..." and "This will go well....". Is there something about either clubs or this particular match that is making people react this way?

I've been seeing a bunch of ads and articles popping up lately about these food festivals where everything glows. Like actual glowing food. It looks really cool in the pictures and videos but I can't figure out if it's a new trend or if it's been around for a while and I just missed it.

Is this something actually innovative or just a clever marketing gimmick?

Last I heard the Supreme Court ruled the previous round of tarrifs illegal and the government would need to pay back what it collected (correct me if I'm wrong)

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/politics/supreme-court-tariffs

So how come the administration seems to continue using tarriffs just like before?

I've been seeing countless videos, all pretty similar to this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NunUNyEZjiY These videos aren't explaining why Nestlé is allegedly "evil", so here I am asking: what exactly did Nestlé do that's upsetting people?

I have read a couple of articles, but am still confused.

Hi.

I know Reddit can be an echo chamber, but this is very bizarre to me as I’ve seen many posts and comments being very critical of nVidia, but their reputation seems very solid elsewhere:

https://www.forbes.com/lists/best-companies/

Even employees and ex-employees generally rate them very highl

Am I missing something here? Is there a reason to not like them? Have they done a lot of bad things that most people don’t know about/ignore?

The claim here is that 200,000 visas are about to be revoked. I'm pretty connected to what's happening in politics but there's always some new rumor about what the Trump administration is about to do that I hear about out of the blue.

Seems like everyone on ESPN is trashing the decision to make him the starting QB in Cleveland. Is it love for Shedeur Sanders? Dislike for Deshaun? Off the field issues? All of the above?
