Any one have a direct line to Luke Rudkowski? Let's get him purple pilled. I took a bootcamp run by Luke at Anarchopulco in 2017. He showed us how to be an ENG citizen journalist. At that time, I stressed that centralized platforms were precarious and relying on them to maintain your content was highly risky. At that time the "ad-pocolypse" was just getting under way. Creators were losing out in ad $ as YT banned their channels from splits due to controversial subject matter. Soon after this, entire channels were being deleted. Nostr is the answer.

🎶 In Vancouver right now, thinking about going to hear some live music. As I've been looking into "what's live tonight" I've been lamenting while listening to my feed on Tidal. There was a time when I could walk into a room in Downtown Vancouver, no cover charge, and hear music like this... To be fair, no it wasn't as good as Chic and Gadd but pretty fricken close. *sigh* Let's bring a renaissance of live music and artistic creations to Nostr. If we can imagine it, we can build it.

Is this still a thing... I've got an announcement of an upcoming "announcement". I'll be dropping a vid explaining why I've had to return to Canada to face federal charges. The preamble is in the next vid dropping soon. The results of the melee will be at the end of July, so I've built in a cliff hanger... Common you lurking @Reverend Hodl folks, time to step up and at least follow my npub or at least say hello. I'm, going to bat against the machine. It'll all be presented in living color... Stay tuned

Been having fun getting a new Nostr native live radio show streaming at zap.stream Many thanks to @Kieran for building the platform! Greybeard Radio is a throwback to the great days of FM radio before it became commercialized and formatted. What we would now call the centralization of media. The show features music from any era 50s - 2020s, pop, jazz, blues, funk, rock and or whatever the listeners are feeling. Within the program, I will feature some live interviews with people from the Nostr world, Bitcoiners or other related interests. We will also be using live voice for listener dedications, mentions, projects to watch etc. The thinking is... make it fun and light, so that folks from the era of great old FM radio (Boomers) can listen in, recognize some songs they haven't heard in decades (we are not going with the burnt out "classic rock" format used by every rock station in the country), Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents can listen in, maybe learn how to use Nostr and also something about Bitcoin in a fun friendly atmosphere. If I get this right, we can help onboard a whole demographic and Make Radio Great Again at the same time. I'm the dee-jay and program director. Hope you'll check it out and if you like it, invite the folks 😄 to take this ol' greybeard's show for a spin.

Does anyone know how I would go about publishing a NIP-102 live event? Is it just a matter of copying and pasting the URL path ending in .m3u8 to a client and then the client parses that as the "live event'?

This came into my Blue bird feed... ... ah haha, that crazy Mandela Effect isn't getting me this time.
