I need to get in on the next cool thing before it becomes lame. Being an author used to be cool, now anyone can publish on Amazon. Having a website or blog used to be cool, now people have multiple. Podcasting was cool, now anyone can have a podcast. It's all lame because anyone can do it easily and cheaply.

I was never into 4chan, but I liked all the insane shit that came from it and filtered into other sources. My mom didn't have a clue who Korn was, but she liked the bullet flying around in slomo in the music video. Same thing.

Bitrefill ≠ paying for something with Bitcoin... You are paying with a gift card that you purchased from a service who accepted your Bitcoin. You aren't buying the item with Bitcoin, you're buying it with a gift card denominated in some fiat currency. If this service (and others like it) went away, you'd be back to using fiat directly. Bitrefill also accepts Solana. You have the same functionality as a Solana user. This may be pedantic, but it annoys the shit out of me.

If Trump defunds NPR, how will we listen to Scott Simon?

Mega Man 5 has been ported to the SNES. #retrogaming #gamestr https://archive.org/details/mega-man-v-snes_20250415

The Breakfast Club, but recast with the various Nostr types: * the neckbeard * the stoner * the gym bro * the curmudgeon * the sith lord

I might break down today and listen to the Dave Smith / Douglas Murray thing on Rogan. I'm sure it's going to be an annoying 3 hours, but I can't resist touching the stove.

The year is 2025, and Nintendo 64 emulation is still really shitty. Inevitably someone's going to say "Ackchyually it's good if you set things to X and change this plugin to Y"...shut up. If you have to individually tweak settings per game, that's shit, full stop.

Look, I want to see some inactive npubs come back to Nostr, but I would be leery if RFK Jr made a return. He's digging into the data, trying to find a cause for autism, and I would fear we're all being studied if he comes back

If you're going to accuse people of being demon worshippers, you have to at least get the demons right.

Its weird, Nostr has become Bitcoin Twitter 2.0 in a lot of ways, and yet I haven't seen a whole lot from the OP_Next conference. I've watched a couple presentations, some have been interesting.

Time to check out the new season of Black Mirror.
