if you could get a left wing, pro labor malthusian and a right wing, pro capitalist malthusian into a room together, and you could just get them to see the world from the other person's perspective for a moment, ... you'd still have two assholes.

dramatic reduction in USD flowing abroad thru USAID. dramatic reduction in trade deficits thru tariffs. exacerbating China's already noticable reduction in UST purchases. trading income tax for tariff tax. surrounded by PayPal Mafia. courting XRP and tether crowd. setting up his own branded exchange. eliminating the penny and next the nickel. drawing all USD into the US. Treasury buyers on the inside track. went out of his way to announce No CBDC long before anyone asked for such a commitment. Ch24 of Project 2025... they're preparing a monetary reset.

Had the ATT tech here to install fiber internet. Was very excited!! But he needs access to neighbor's backyard. They're RVing and I have no idea when they'll be back 😭

Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land (1959) excellent cartoon. At the 17m mark they give a pool/billards lesson I've never seen before called 'the diamond system'. 🎱💎

I asked Venice.AI how many homes I'd need to collect food waste from to convert into enough biogas to run a 1200w Bitcoin miner 24/7. it said 60 homes. probably a very rough guess, but it's a start. as the real product would be liquid fertilizer to sell, that seems doable. add just a few solar panels, feed the excess asic heat into the anaerobic digester to accelerate ch4 production, and you're on your way to a fully off grid methane mitigating fertilizer business. 💩🪙

GM #nostr 🌞 Go out there and earn those merit badges today!

A while back I said something stupid about nostr. I liked the idea but I doubted the plebs. I was dumb. I'll do better. ✌️

If you're pissed at this administration but you're still just using your bank/visa card, socking away in your house or 401k, and posting your anger on corporate social media for likes, you're resisting exactly how they want you to. Spend in cash, save in Bitcoin, ghost your profile. Starve the beast.

Pennies aren't the problem. The money printer is the problem, and it's gone digital.

Once I went up in front of a promotion board while in the army. I was third in line. First question was from my First Sergeant. He asked if I knew UCMJ yada dot yada yada... I didn't. It's a reg that says any promotion candidate who's a minority will have at least one minority on the board. I didn't know why he asked that then realized they were all black and I'm white. He immediately called an intermission, found a white NCO, them we started again. I did well and was promoted. I don't think anything would have been different if he didn't call break. They were all professionals. It did give me an appreciation for the army they came up in however. Dignity isn't zero-sum. Accepting others doesn't cost you anything. We can grow the pie. ✌️

Is Bitcoin capitalist? everyone can run a node, validate the chain, see all past transactions, set their own relay policy, and control the fate of their own transactions. it's free market, for sure, but a highly participatory economy. but is it inherently capitalist? it seems capitalists have the hardest job in the Bitcoin ecosystem. very few can do it well. a capitalist in Bitcoin is one who deploys Bitcoin in hopes of yielding more Bitcoin, but in a deflationary money, that is a very tall order. anyone who's tried mining knows this. @jack Mallers has pointed this out as his way to vet ideas at strike "would investing in this idea earn more Bitcoin than just hodling?" Bitcoin does not obviate the need for capitalists. in fact it offers a lot of benefits over the fiat econ. But it does raise the point that for the capitalist, the Fiat economy is EASY MODE.

The Pythagoreans were the first to bisect a triangle, But they also boycotted beans. Now they're all dead. The a lesson in there .... Somewhere 🌈📖

I keep trying to capture 69,420 and you assholes won't stop buying! Just mocking me at this point.

The Sixth Sense holds up surprisingly well. I woulda thought knowing the ending and having the same gimmick play out thru so many of his movies, would obviously make every other flaw even more unbearable, but nah. It's real good, w a vintage cinema/film feel, capturing good practical fx and authentic Philly feel. and btw amazing performances by Haley Joel Osmond and Toni Collette. Maybe shoulda retired after the Village.

Happy 69,420 to all those who celebrate 🥳

what if that voice inside you telling you to make the safe, rational decision is actually your inner midwit?
