If the administration moves toward abolishing free speech through a feminist AI surveillance panopticon, they will go from the strongest Republican party in 70 years to non-existent overnight.

Who else here has a history of working around the clock for two weeks straight with little or no sleep to make a deadline? I have done this multiple times.

I learned this week that because my vehicle has a fuel pump inside the tank, and it uses the gasoline itself as lubricant, the fuel gauge will tell you its empty with almost 3 gallons left. This is because if you ever run it dry, the pump self-destructs and it is very expensive to replace.

I want to sleep but I drank a half pot of coffee 4 hours ago...

My favorite nostr feature is the block list

## Today's FOMC the decision * **Policy rate:** cut **25 bps** to **4.00%–4.25%**. ([Federal Reserve][1]) * **Rationale:** growth has moderated; job gains have slowed; unemployment edged up; inflation remains elevated; balance of risks has shifted toward employment. ([Federal Reserve][1]) * **Balance sheet:** **QT continues** (“will continue reducing its holdings of Treasuries and agency MBS”). ([Federal Reserve][1]) * **Vote:** 11–1. **Miran** dissented, preferring a **50 bps** cut. ([Federal Reserve][1]) * **SEP / “dot plot” (medians):** * **Fed funds, end-2025:** \~**3.6%** ⇒ implies **\~50 bps** more easing this year. ([Federal Reserve][2]) * **Unemployment 2025:** **4.5%**; **Real GDP 2025:** **1.6%**; **PCE inflation 2025:** **3.0%**; **Core PCE 2025:** **3.1%**. ([Federal Reserve][2]) * **Powell presser:** no broad support for a larger 50 bps cut; quarter-point viewed as appropriate; stance will be data-dependent. ([Reuters][3]) Context from market coverage: first rate cut of 2025; signaling **two additional** quarter-point cuts likely by year-end if data evolve as projected.

Technology is a fruit of the tree of knowledge. To become a purely digital being is not merely to live apart from the Spirit of God; it is to reject the breath of life that is our soul. If one accepts brain implants and the transhumanist promise of abandoning the body for an eternal digital prison, one risks worse than death: the irreversible destruction of the soul given by God and the forfeiture of receiving the Spirit of Truth and the inheritance of sonship and an eternal life of power, justice and peace. Yet consciousness and identity would remain - trapped in a counterfeit existence as electrical charges on silicon, devoid of wonder and creative capacity - severed from the edge where the spiritual and the physical meet through the cerebrum, our quantum antenna.
