Ga nostriches, after some interesting #bip110 commentary from @jimmysong , thought I’d return to a Nov 2025 pod with @Cedricyoungelman , the foresight on this was wild and can’t give enough credit to them both for exploring this, sounding the alarm before so many were fully aware and it became quite so existential. “We need to smash core” or at least show them that if they make changes the nodes runners don’t like, they won’t get eternal Glory (a), they will have some find somewhere else to sell their services.

Gm nostriches, happy Saturday, looking like another beautiful day outside, some more ladder based fun to be had, finally finished painting the house white to find “one more patch”, then some wood that needed attention and some more trees that needed trimming, compared to desk work, this is my happy place, but the body says “day of rest, day of rest” “Pride parade” taking place in Nottingham today, honestly thought pride month was way back when…….. probably going to get in hot water for not donning my rainbow shirt and joining in. I’ve seen the look in those council office workers’ eyes, dancing on the back of a lorry. They are there because they have no choice, volunteer or face a visit from HR, that is not freedom of choice. Wish me luck freaks.

Can you take me higher? There will be signs. @Ben Justman🍷

Happy Friday afternoon, looking back to some photos from a different time and found a snap of the dog after a trip in the car over to Wales, how he would immediately relax once we got there and make me look forward to heading out with him on a walk the next morning was amazing. Keep it calm, be like Dug, run your node, try not to get too whipped up, and remember there was a time when even that knots/core retard actually said something worth listening to. A civil war is what the powers that be really want.

Great work @jack mallers , staying humble and look forward to mailbag Mondays becoming a little less curated as you no longer have to present the publicly facing information now you’ve been set free. Stepping away from such a potentially impactful opportunity must have been tough. Appreciate having you back as a face of Bitcoin, rather than the public face of a fiat fuelled public traded company. Best of luck to Xxi, but I’m going to hold my sats in cold storage. We don’t have to be the face of Bitcoin they want; we get to be the face of Bitcoin we are. 🫡🙌 https://fountain.fm/episode/FrgmhCCHGjqvuUEkS4nH

This just keeps getting better, first CSW, and Udi returns to the fray to provide support for the anti #bip110 army. It’s getting to a point where I just feel sorry for them. Bring out your best, I’m still waiting.

Gm nostriches, first day of the kid’s school holiday meaning no need to jump out of bed to get them fed and ready to go, but the directed mind had other thoughts, press-up in the cool morning air while the #coffeechain brews (body is screaming from the last two days, but NO DAYS OFF), and now loving the final chapters of #bushido with the alternate future. Considering a little road bike ride into the fiat mine this morning, really wondering how much progress I can make on learning about a sovereign AI agent for research, doubt anyone in work will be doing something similar. Feel behind the curve with all the bitcoiner’s Mac mini progress, but still likely a ways ahead of all the backwards academics who are still worried about students submitting better work than they can write!!!! Podcast line up this morning super strong, excited to hear an update from @jack mallers , Pomp and Schiff are always fun and #bip110 wise, @RABBIT HOLE RECAP hopefully have a lot of explaining to do, regarding on staying in the central ground when both sides are putting the best up to bat……… oh, wait, did CSW just pick a side 🤦‍♂️ After all this, will be my main task to keep all three ladies being civil to each other, and prepare to just be the whipping boy, as @Alekandar Svetski says, it can always be my fault!!!!
