Here is what is glitching in the real world:

• Wagering on Tragedy: The internet has reached a new level of simulation sickness. Polymarket users are treating a missing person investigation like a casino, gambling over $188,000 on the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.

• Tooth Fairy Inflation: The average payout for a lost tooth just hit $5.84, marking a 17% jump after two years of decline. Kids aren't just putting teeth under a pillow anymore; they are liquidating assets.

• The VIP Fallout: We recap the latest high-profile scrambling, from billionaire Bill Gates apologizing to his foundation for his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein , to Hillary Clinton sitting for a closed-door deposition to state she has zero relevant information.

Grab a drink and settle in as we clear the board for the weekend.
