We’re constantly at the mercy of Mother Nature [many times she shares her beauty with us, even though we constantly abuse her]

Got an extra latte today because my friend was taking photos for the shop’s new menu. Thursday starting off on a good note

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness” - Declaration of Independence When said government uses safety as a means to rob you of happiness, it is imperative to resist that government in all aspects to defend your unalienable rights. After 250 years, we must ask ourselves if we still retain Life [Right to coexist with your neighbors], Liberty [Right to express your God given agency] & any shred of the pursuit of Happiness [Right to seek purpose & meaning in living] given what the US government has morphed into… I’m sure as hell establishing a death grip on mine, so thank you NOSTR, thank you NOSTR users, thank you bitcoin & long live open source protocols 🙏

Screening for “To Be Seen”, a documentary by David Liu about Austin restaurants & their battle to make it through COVID-19 Check it out & more privately funded cinema at www.narriforge.com

21,000 sats well spent Austin TX, go refresh yourselves at Wonky Blends (Bitcoin Accepted). The perfect cure for this humidity 🥶

I just finished "The Square and The Tower" by Niall Ferguson. It is a great book, thanks for the recommendation @HODL ! I think many bitcoiners (and even just NOSTR proponents) would do themselves a great justice reading this book. It proves, through history, the importance of organized networks of individuals to combat the insatiable control of tyrannical government structures. If bitcoin (and NOSTR) are to be successful movements for human freedom, we must not focus on our differences, but rather coalesce around the common goal. Onward!

The SpaceX IPO today is living proof that people can no longer look at anything fundamentally. They are forced to ride hype waves/trends in order to fulfill their own self interest. The Library of Babel incarnate rears its ugly head

Trump's 'negotiations' with Iran is the Byzantine General's Problem playing out in real time. It moves the markets wildly, and we all know who makes the most money during volatile markets... [*Hint* - It's the hedge funds]

Do you miss the blend of color she left in your black and white field? Do you feel condemned, just being there?

Seems like the tribalism is alive and well on NOSTR

Went to a local nursery and saw this cool tree. Bought a different one, but it’s not as cool as this one

Today, you can post about pizza or you can hike in the rain. Which are you choosing?

We’re so small

Driver’s seats & overlooks are in my near future

Make road trips great again.. US Government & Airline Industry: "OK"

...it's just another Saturday #DXVI
