Knowing a thing and being told a thing are different and most people can’t tell which. Reformed Christian, Nostr class of 23, I think Host of The ContraCast Podcast https://fountain.fm/show/XRuDwbnAzVdjjchD4Veq

Why do we take time to worship Him on this day? Because the tomb is empty. Because death lost. Because everything changed when He walked out on the third day. We don't worship because we have to. We worship because we get to. We worship because apart from Him we are nothing, but in Him we have everything. This week will try to tell you otherwise. Your circumstances will scream that God has forgotten you. But Sunday reminds us that the God who raised Christ from the dead is the same God holding your life right now. You don't need to have your act together to worship. You just need to show up. Broken, tired, distracted, doubting. Show up anyway. He meets us there. So before the noise of the day takes over, lift your eyes. Remember whose you are. Remember what He has done. Remember that your standing before God rests on Christ alone, not your performance. Keep walking. He has you. Gm! #ToChristAlone image

Why kindness matters: Because someone out there is grieving, drained, or just trying to survive and your kindness may be the only gentle moment in their day.

Nostr isn't an innovation. it's a restoration. It's not about building something new, but returning to what the internet originally offered before corporations optimized the soul out of it.

Me: What do we need from the store? Wife: Just grab a few things. Me: Returns with 17 items Wife: Why did you get the wrong yogurt? Me: You said just grab a few things. Wife: I meant the Greek kind with the honey. Me: That's not "a few things," that's a specific yogurt mandate. The gap between "a few things" and "the exact things" is where marriages are tested.

If you’re in your early twenties, the best thing you can do is just try a lot of stuff. Explore different careers and get your hands dirty. The goal isn't to find the perfect job immediately, it's to find what you're actually passionate about and then run with it. Without passion you’ll burn out, and without purpose you’ll burn up. Don't get stuck doing something you hate just because it pays well. Find the spark and give it a go.

A few years ago, prediction markets were a niche corner of the internet. Now the biggest financial platforms are diving in and everyone's acting like it’s pure discovery. It’s hard to trust the outcome when we’ve seen bad actors exploit this for years. If the refs can blow a call to swing a game, what makes us think these platforms aren't rigged to favor the house? It seems the signal is getting buried under the same old gambling incentives.
