Shane Gillis and Danny McBride play feuding weathermen in a new four-minute Kalshi ad.
“In the past year I’ve made some questionable trades on contracts for local weather, Costco hot dog prices and cricket,” McBride said in a statement. “Working with Kalshi to make this very unique ad was a great way to both make amends on some of my questionable predictions, but also get to work with Shane, and reunite with my good pal, Deep Roy.”

Continuing my "woke police chiefs throughout American history" series with the second and, most likely final, installation on NYPD and Minneapolis police reformer Tony Bouza.

Over 33+ years of practicing law, I have been fortunate to have many clients in high-profile cases. I can state unequivocally that over my career, no media outlet has been more unfair than the @startribune—especially about law enforcement. The latest has been spewed by “reporter” Josie Albertson-Grove. Because her X/Twitter username is @josie_strib, I’ll use her preferred name, “Josie.”

The End. Weird season, for the Twins and for me.
I took a huge risk leaving The Athletic to keep covering the Twins at AaronGleeman.com. Despite their losing record, your support made it the best decision of my life.
Thank you for reading/listening. I'm forever grateful.
