Now here's a #paradox for you. A lot of traditional #bitcoin advocates will tell you to stick to the one ring to rule them all in varying degrees of #puritanism. And yet...

The test of #freespeech is rarely the obvious. For example, on #bluesky where most people are left wing, the test would be whether they ban right wing voices. On Gab the test of free speech would be whether they allow voices for #China and #communism. Both those tests are failed by the respective platforms by the way. I'm not sure what the test would be here. What do you think? I guess there is no test because no one can ban anyone? #asknostr

I want to #asknostr something for my own #curiosity. Do Americans really believe #Elon Musk is popular in the #UK? I know #Musk thinks he is, but do Americans believe him?

I've only ever been late for a job interview once and it was due to genuinely unpredictable circumstances. I judged there was no way my interviewer would believe why I was going to be late and I'm not a very good liar. So I rang and apologised for canceling the interview. I told the interviewer, even if you allow me time now, there's no way I make up this lost ground, so let's call it quits. The interviewer was annoyed but I still think it was the right call. No way I'd have got the job.
