    Is she being ironic or really didn’t actually know? It’s hard to know if attention-economy people do gimmicky things for attention or really are that… uh… unaware of things?

      She really didn’t know. A few minutes after she made this comment she deleted it and posted another comment that made it look like she knew what was going on all along.

      Oh, I hadn’t heard of her, when I first read this I read it as her being sane and Polymarket being the one misunderstanding what Arabic numerals are

      So the “dear god” would be directed at Polymarket and not Mamdani

      Idk if i’m explaining this well

        Polymarket is a betting website, clearly someone made a bet that Zoran Mamdani would mandate teaching arabic numerals knowing that idiots would bet against it.
