A juvenile desire to embarrass his father, a county judge, in front of their community? Perhaps it’s sheer, pig-headed hubris – he’s an art school drop out relying on hand-outs from his parents which he claims are to fund his bespoke furniture-making business, while scheming to steal four Arthur Dove paintings from the small but well-appointed Framingham Art Museum…

On October 26, half of Argentina’s representatives and one-third of senators will face voters at the ballot box. This is, on its own, fortunately unexceptional.

Polymarket’s Chief Marketing Officer, Matthew Modabber, has confirmed that the platform plans to launch its own native token called POLY, alongside an airdrop for users.
