Here’s a test that will give us some info on Tuesday about the value of prediction markets: the Iowa Senate race.
There is …
… a difference between modelers, polls and prediction markets in the Iowa Senate race. Polls have shown a race that is evenly split. Modelers, like Mr. Morris, have favored Josh Turek, the Democratic candidate. Prediction markets, including Polymarket, Kalshi and PredictIt, have favored Ashley Hinson, the Republican.

This is a Ridley Scott film about a pandemic that wipes out 99% of the population.
Despite the legendary director, a solid cast and a big budget, it came and went unnoticed this summer. The post-apocalyptic thriller grossed only $39.2 million worldwide ($15.0 million domestic and $24.2 million international) against a reported production budget of $110 million.
The principal reasons for its failure:
– Mediocre reviews: Critics found the post-apocalyptic story derivative, slow-moving, and meandering. 41% on the Tomatometer.
– Unhappy audiences: Its C+ CinemaScore suggested that even people attracted by the premise weren’t particularly satisfied.
– A late-August release date: That suggested the studio had little confidence in it.
– A difficult sell: It’s a bleak, character-driven pandemic survival story that had limited appeal to mainstream summer audiences.
– No positive word of mouth: Its $7.7 million domestic opening was followed by a 64% second-weekend decline.
– Unfocused marketing: The campaign failed to distinguish the movie from countless other apocalypse stories
It has shown some life post-release. It scores a respectable 72% on the Popcornmeter and 6.3 on IMDb.

But doesn’t fully deliver it
This episode of Outlander: Blood of My Blood featured their usual lengthy, romantic sex scenes. The scene with Rainsbury has little nudity, but the one with Fubara is definitely worth a look.

Three best friends from college face eviction in London. As they scatter across the city, they navigate friendship, dating disasters, and adulting – all while the world crumbles around them.
IMDb calls this series a comedy, but I watched all six episodes without laughing. It’s just the usual blah-blah about relationships.
Nothing to see here. There is a brief peek at her pubes. There is some better nudity in later episodes (but not much better). I’ll get to that in a bit.
