Evidently, trees are racist. Or, at least banyan trees are racist.

I saw somebody thankful for the "cheap sats" recently. #Bitcoin was at $113K and we're seeing it as a discount. We've come a long, long way!

For somebody who lives a rather boring and normal life, I get more interaction from "everyday life posts" than bitcoin or tech posts. Not sure what that means exactly, I guess either (a) my bitcoin/tech takes are ho-hum, (b) I'm not as boring as I think, or (c) we need more non-bitcoin, non-tech posts. I'm ruling out (b) and lean toward (c).

Building #cyberspace or the #metaverse using #bitcoin cryptography, physics, and #nostr A lot to wrap one's head around. Long form article and github repo:

Aneighbir gave me one of these floating bulb thermometer things. I'm enough of a nerd to put it outside/inside/places just to wait watch and watch it do something. Pretty much a slow, thermometer lava lamp.

Can somebody explain for the uncool people like me as to why there are a bunch of rats on nostr today. Help increase my cool level from 1 to 2.

Microsoft, and Windows, and Teams in this case, is so frustrating. Just trying to login, is that too much to ask?

I despise fonts where you can distinguish l from l or even from 1; or distinguishing 0 from O. Coder-friendly monospace, please. Not even for coding, just for reading and especially for trying to enter data somewhere. It kind of matters.

It still kind of blows me away that this "website" exists on #Bitcoin itself (not the ordiscan site, but the orange site shown on the ordiscan page). Though you're likely looking at it on the web, orange site is not on the www, it's on Bitcoin. No www, no DNS. So, as long as Bitcoin runs, it'll be there.

Is the Trump bridge @Donald J. Trump from Truth Social no longer working? I see nothing new in 5 days. Or is Trump taking a break from socials? (The latter would be hard to believe.)

Shapeflation I'm coining a new term right here and now: shapeflation We all know inflation all too well. Since COVID especially, we've been hearing the spinoff term shrinkflation...keep the price the same, just shrink the size of the product. Well, here's a variation of shrinkflation. "Shapeflation" is essentially shrinkflation,... Bridged via Hostr at

Every bitcoiner ought to read Teddy Roosevelt's "Strenuous Life" speech, if for no other reason than paragraph [3] about effort. Essentially, #bitcoin proof-of-work. [3] We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious effort; the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Full speech:
