@Leathermint I caught you calling out some premium leathersmiths at a point and I reached out for a custom job to Chester Mox since you were too busy at the time. I got no response and their socials seem stale. Are they still around? Any alternate suggestions for a custom run of a few of these as rendered? Wanting them to fit the @Foundation Passport Prime.

There’s likely more than one writer out there that was proud of their reliably accurate, expert use of the em dash over their years of writing; only to be completely shat upon now when they use it.

I like bacon. I believe in bacon. When I see a bear, I don’t poke it. But if I do go to poke it, I don’t fill my pocket with bacon. But if I must carry my bacon, I leave the bear great distance for it to focus on eating berries. I don’t wrestle bears. I like bears. Bears do good work. I give them space. I don’t give my bacon; Nor my legs.

Seeing in my circles this too.

Oh shit. Can’t believe I hadn’t realized this would be inevitable.

So cold and snowy, while a big hawk visits us.

Bitcoin Treasuries now hold over 4M BTC, which is over 20% of all non-Satoshi wallet bitcoin to ever be available. Retail is asleep.

No one pats themselves on the back for spending an hour watching mukbang videos, no one touts their screentime like they’re setting a high score, and no one feels proud that their hand instinctively starts groping for their phone whenever there’s a lull in conversation. Finishing a great nonfiction book feels like heaving a barbell off your chest. Finishing a great novel feels like leaving an entire nation behind. There are no replacements for these feelings. Videos can titillate, podcasts can inform, but there’s only one way to get that feeling of your brain folds stretching and your soul expanding, and it is to drag your eyes across text. That’s actually where I agree with the worrywarts of the written word: all serious intellectual work happens on the page, and we shouldn’t pretend otherwise. If you want to contribute to the world of ideas, if you want to entertain and manipulate complex thoughts, you have to read and write. According to one theory, that’s why writing originated: to pin facts in place. At first, those facts were things like “Hirin owes Mushin four bushels of wheat,” but once you realize that knowledge can be hardened and preserved by encoding it in little squiggles, you unlock a whole new realm of logic and reasoning. That’s why there’s no replacement for text, and there never will be. Thoughts that can survive being written into words are on average truer than thoughts that never leave the mind. You know how you can find a leak in a tire by squirting dish soap on it and then looking for where the bubbles form? Writing is like squirting dish soap on an idea: it makes the holes obvious. — Adam Mastroianni from a Substack Email

Telehash, at @Bitcoin Park for Nashville Energy & Mining Summit, pulled out all the stops with the hashrate heated steak sous vide setup and the miner-heated human sous vide hot tub.

Seeding a bit of short term hopium. A pattern candidate by DonnyDicey. Maybe a stretch. But maybe.

The Florida sun setting on #BitcoinDay 2026 in Naples, FL. Cold weather. Hot takes. Never disappoints. Thanks for all of your work, Jon and team.
