God blessed my wife and I with a son one week ago. George is the most special gift we have ever received. God is Good!

I’m very hesitant to place any sort of trust in Trump. But a big part of me feels like last night is going to be our only major action in Iran. I could be completely wrong and soon as tonight and I’m ready to eat my words. But I’m choosing optimism today.

Democrats had the largest W of all time fall into their laps last week with the Trump/Musk breakup. Then they burned LA to the ground and now somehow their positioning is even worse.

We’ve all said “I would feel so fucked if I didn’t have bitcoin.” Re: Trump vs. Elon crash out over Big, Beautiful Bill - I have never felt so strongly how fucked I would feel if I didn’t have bitcoin.

My wife is an ICU nurse. I’m not exaggerating when I say I would bet that no less than 50% of her patients are: 1. So morbidly obese/unhealthy there is zero quality life after hospital. 2. Absolutely mentally fucking insane. 3. The most rude pieces of shit you can possibly imagine (I guess sort of fits in with #2). Can you imagine how much money we spend as a country keeping these people alive? And for what? I know this is not very Christ-like of me, and for that I’m truly sorry. But we are a nation teetering on the edge of desperation; financially and spiritually. I just felt the need to post this and get feedback.

My wife sent this to me and I’m really glad I’m not the only one who can relate.

I’m kind of bummed Trump paused the tariffs. I was truly enjoying the market carnage. The Millennials and Gen Zers upset about their 401(k) decreasing just don’t understand anything. We need entry points after markets have gone vertical since 2008. I finally thought we were going to have a sustained period of time to enter.

Celebrating Grandpa’s birthday this weekend. Not pictured: Grandpa. Too busy fishing!

Listening to Howard Lutnick speak makes me genuinely excited about our federal government’s prospects. This is something I never thought I would ever say in my lifetime.

My credit score has hovered around ~770 for probably 2-3 years. What am I missing to take the next step?

#asknostr Why are my zaps enabled for profiles but I can’t zap a post? I feel like such a boomer.

What is a physical challenge you’ve completed and enjoyed? Things like a Memorial Day Murph, obstacle course, etc. #asknostr

GM I love starting my Saturday tying up a few loose ends from the work week before tackling my Saturday. Peaceful, slow start to the weekend.

How the hell am I supposed to do anything at work today, much less in a humble manner???

Listening to Odell talk about Nostr vs. Twitter is all the motivation you need to open up your Nostr client and start exploring a bit.

The COVID pandemic was a stress test to find out who would cave under pressure and who would consistently do the right thing. I’m beyond fortunate that the majority of my friends and family kept a level head. Sadly, I realize I’m in the minority of people who can truly say that.

I’m finding myself not even tolerating any irrational logic from friends today. Cutting them off, publicly correcting them, etc. It’s rude, and probably a bit overkill on my end. But I’m just so exhausted from being fed irrational logic all day every day.
