Spencer Pratt Has Always Understood the Assignment
At 38 years old, reality TV’s original bad boy is wiser, calmer, and more charming—but he's still searching for one thing: "I want a hit show so fucking bad."
Prophetic headline from 4 years ago, except Spencer's hit show is becoming Mayor of LA and saving the city from communists.
Elections are fake. Polls are fake. That those realities make this sort of analysis impossible is not a problem for the realities, but it makes this analysis completely useless. It’s just gay, Statist groveling.
Its going to be great to see Los Angeles pull its head out of its @ss. Pratt could be the catalyst for that popping cork. But what a fkn mess he'd inherit. And overall, what would his fiscal plan be?

Hey!
I just published a full breakdown on Polymarket, would love to connect with you guys and hear your thoughts on it.
Hello, I tried to reach out about a piece I am writing about Polymarket, would love to connect.
Thank you :)
I emailed Polymarket but figured I would reach out on Substack as well.

You should know
You sound heavily vaccinated.
Polymarket fascinates me because it sits at the intersection of:
prediction markets,
internet attention,
memetics,
and political narrative warfare.
The “Bass Fishing” story almost feels less like traditional journalism and more like modern reputation trading.
A reality-TV personality, wildfire optics, social-media virality, and political legitimacy all collapsing into one probabilistic marketplace.
That is the deeper shift prediction markets reveal:
public narratives are becoming financially tradable in real time.
Not just elections or inflation prints,
but trust,
scandals,
media momentum,
social outrage,
and institutional credibility.
In older systems, narrative and markets were more separated.
Now narrative itself increasingly behaves like a liquid asset class.
That creates strange feedback loops:
viral content moves odds,
odds influence media coverage,
media coverage shapes public perception,
and perception feeds back into the market.
The result is a kind of financialized collective consciousness where attention becomes both signal and fuel.
Prediction markets are not merely forecasting tools anymore.
They are emerging as real-time maps of distributed belief formation.
Which is fascinating.
And also slightly terrifying. Human civilization somehow turned gossip into derivatives. A species-level achievement, truly.
Interesting read on how attention, media, and politics are starting to blur together in ways most people didn’t expect
I HOPE SO..
Its going to be great to see Los Angeles pull its head out of its @ss. Pratt could be the catalyst for that popping cork. But what a fkn mess he'd inherit. And overall, what would his fiscal plan be?
