A brief and powerful letter that cuts to the heart of why art exists and should continue.
Art is a mode of being. Not a mode of having.
You should not give that over to the machines any more than you would let them relieve you of a good meal, a good conversation, or great sex.
These things are not to be optimized but savored. View quoted note →

What is up with the mempool right now?! People really paying almost 800 s/vb!! Or am I misreading the RBF feed?
Still, mempool is very full.
The line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
And so this ripples upward to the social structures man creates. This we see the cycle of empire follow a predictable path.
It’s important we separate the temporal character of the late stage American empire from “the idea of America” as envisioned at its founding and in its golden era.
These are a distinct set of ideas (or ideals) which serve as intellectual patterns of value to guide us.
Right now the “idea of America” seems to shine brightest in El Salvador, frankly. View quoted note →

How do I evaluate relays?
I see a long list of relay addresses. No clue why I should choose one over the other.
Also, how many relays should I be connected to? Is there a point of diminishing returns?
More guidance is need here.
Who wishes they were a more effective orange- piller?
Like, you orange pill people but it feels more difficult than it should, or you feel you should be doing a bit more smoothly.
I’m getting good at this.

Has bitcoins price ever been this stable for this long? I know it’s hung around in a band for longer. But it feels like it’s been inside a $500 band for weeks now.
Yes. I’m too lazy to consult a chart.

Help me out, nostritches. I'm looking for a technology...
I want to make a talking head video of myself, TikTok style.
But I want to use an avatar. I want to choose that avatar (i.e. upload an image) and the technology will plot the face and map it to my own, and then reflect the movement of my mouth and facial expressions.
Does such a tech exist? Surely it does.
Help a minstrel out.
