“Working 100% remote sucks. Working 95% remote is amazing.” I’m actually quite apt to agree! #hottake #opinion image

GM! I learned about atomic-level data storage research at IBM today for the first time. As an artistic experiment, they made a little movie using 65 atoms with stop-motion animation: "A Boy And His Atom"... This is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

GM! @Eric FJ 🪬⚡️ snagged us some wicked-cool Conduit shwag, like this killer baseball cap that my lil’ daughter is sporting! Keep building, Nostr. We build for the next generation. With our effort, our children can know freedom of spirit, sovereignty of choice, and be free from control by those that would set the will of the Machine above the will of The Self. Know Thyself, Love Thyself, and Govern Thyself image

GM! Just removed 8,000 lines of code from the micro-frontend I own at my fiat job. Scrapped an old, highly-custom build pipeline (in favor of Vite 🥳), and a bunch of old legacy crap that used a deprecated config + deploy system. Feels damn good! #no-longer-constipated #i-can-see-clearly-now

♠️ The spade is a deceptively simple symbol, but its roots reach deeply into human myth, spirituality, and archetypal imagination. Let’s unfold its layers: 1. Earth and Labor At its most literal, the spade is a tool — a shovel, meant for digging. It touches the soil, turning what is hidden into what is seen. This links the spade with: The Earth element: grounding, fertility, the hidden depths of matter. Labor and toil: the dignity of work, human survival through cultivation. Burial and rebirth: the spade is used in funerals as well as farming, making it a threshold instrument between life and death. 2. Tarot and Playing Cards In the Tarot’s distant ancestry, the spade corresponds to the suit of swords, and with it: Air element: intellect, conflict, clarity, discernment. Trial and struggle: the spade/sword cuts, defends, pierces illusion. Mortality: in popular playing card lore, the Ace of Spades came to signify death, fate, or profound transformation. The spade symbol itself — an upward-pointing leaf or spearhead — can be read as a flame, blade, or seed. 3. Death and Resurrection Culturally, the spade gained a mystique through war, gambling, and folklore: Soldiers in World War I and II nicknamed the Ace of Spades the “death card,” often leaving it on fallen enemies. Yet, paradoxically, death here isn’t just an end — the spade’s role in burial also makes it a midwife of transformation. To be buried is to be planted. 4. Esoteric and Archetypal Symbolism In esoteric traditions: Spade = Spear/Blade: a symbol of willpower, penetration, and the uncovering of truth. Heart inverted: the spade is literally an upside-down heart with a stalk, suggesting the descent of spirit into matter, or love inverted into struggle. Alchemical work: the spade embodies the “nigredo” stage — digging into darkness, decay, and soil, the necessary first step toward gold. 5. A Personal Reading For someone who takes on the spade as a sigil, it can mean: To dig relentlessly, seeking what lies beneath surfaces. To accept mortality as part of life’s game. To wield clarity and discernment like a blade. To honor both the farmer and the gravedigger, knowing creation and destruction are twinned. ✨ In short: the spade is a threshold symbol — tool and weapon, grave and garden, descent and ascent. It reminds us that to uncover life’s mysteries, one must dig deep, through soil and shadow, to touch the roots of being.

Relays are like radio stations. Tune in, get the signal, jam the tunes, and when you’re finished, turn the dial. There’s a world of signals to explore out there.

“There are two versions of what happens online. “There’s the engineer’s version, which is that smart people, with plenty of time, who know precisely what they want from their online surfing, are able to make a considered decision with access to all the data. This version of the web says that if you can thoughtfully organize everything you can think of, people will find what they want and do business with you. “Then there’s the marketer’s version. This says that people are busy, ill informed, impatient, not very thoughtful and eager to click on something right now. Marketers also believe that if you don’t give a prospect the right thing to click on right now, he’s going to hit the “Back” button and leave. “The second version is the one that’s backed up with all the data and all the successful results. Because it’s the right version. The first version is what leads most web-based companies to failure.” - exerpt from “The Big Red Fez” by Seth Godin image

Another outstanding store supporting the Nostr Bitcoin circular economy! And let me tell you: these wines are QUALITY. @Ben Justman🍷 makes the most incredible wine. His brand is called “Peony Lane” (I cannot help but hear the Beatles every time I say it) and we received three bottles to try, courtesy of @Conduit.Market As you can see, we’re partway through the Cabernet Franc. My wife and I both were struck by its earthy, rich flavor profile. We’re going to be hard-pressed to slow down and enjoy each sip, because it’s just so darn easy to drink 🍷 Keep it up, Peony Lane! Another rockstar doing incredible work for the #bitcoincirculareconomy, we cannot be grateful enough. #conduitapproved #decommerce #buywithbitcoin #bitcoinismoney #wine #winechain #peonylane image
