Is there a good #substack equivalent for nostr? #asknostr

How do I block nostr:npub10stmgzyf6yeqs00wru0s3lmu262jd5x6g6l6dam7k5warff0qj9q4y25jt from following and unfollowing me non-stop? Even though muting does nothing I’ve tried it five times lol #asknostr

Instead of calling it “yield curve control” we should call it “yield curve waterboarding”. It’s more visceral and descriptive of what they are really going to do to the purchasing power of those naive enough to hold fiat debt and debt-denominated instruments in the face of what’s coming.

Was reading a market commentary on commodities today (I’m a fun hang) and as the writer was reflecting back on a recurring historical pattern, he began his sentence with this beautiful injection of humanity. He wrote: “In hindsight - which is a lens that spares no one…” I literally paused and said “wow” out loud. It stunned me with how profound and out of place it felt. And yet, it was pure wisdom and immediately revealed a profound amount about the humble character of the writer. It fundamentally shifted the way I read the rest of his analysis of inflation trends and it pleasantly left me with much more than I was expecting. It encouraged me do more to fearlessly bring my humanity with me wherever I go and to bring the messiness and beauty of real life to all the realms we’ve sterilized and sanitized in our modern world.

SEAHAWKS!!!! Getting a weak Cardinals home crowd to constantly boo your 2-1 team from the second quarter onwards!? That speaks to the soul-crushing level of dominance this defense is playing with that the score doesn’t reflect. Wow. Elite stuff. Season ending in week 4 type stuff! Gotta find some fellow #seahawks #nfl #collegefootball fans here on nostr. Please drop any good football follows that aren’t AI bots vomiting out headlines. Football content is the thing I miss most from #Twitter. So fun sharing in it with other people online when your team is rolling. nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcpz4mhxue69uhhxarpva5kueew09skyafwd4jsz9mhwden5te0dehhxarj9ecxzun9w3hjuar0wahqpee8jx would crash from all the zaps Seahawks Nostr would be exchanging!!

As Bitcoiners, our grandchildren will one day ask us what is was like to get caught on the sidelines during the generational 5-month ETH bull market of 2025

As western society has largely become more effeminate and soft, so too has the modern Church in the West. Probably no greater example of this than how we conceptualize “love”. Obviously there are different types of love, but as a general concept love is largely presented as being totally tolerant, never angry, always gentle and never firm, conflict-avoiding, etc. When you look at the life of Jesus through this lens however, the only conclusion you can reach is that there were many times when love incarnate was not actually “loving” at all! Think about the times where Jesus was flipping tables in the temple, excoriating the Jewish leaders for their corruption and even coming across as disrespectful to his own family. So we need to ask ourselves, is Jesus in the wrong or are we? The most ironic part about this, is that I often see what I think is this more true, Jesus-like love in courageous women who hate evil and cling to what’s good, than I do in passive men who won’t stand for anything.

“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” - Revelation 12:11 As we begin to rapidly move in an increasingly totalitarian direction, there will be pockets of immense persecution of those who fight for freedom and human flourishing. I pray we grow increasingly courageous in speaking truth regardless of the consequences.
