I have a feeling this rumor is being stirred up to get the rage flowing and its sourcing is probably being pretty strategic. It would admittedly be absolutely awful if any truth to it. View quoted note →

Gm #nostr, touch grass and read poetry. Neruda:

In case anybody still harbors any illusions about Kamala’s economic illiteracy, her vacuity on substantive issues, or the persistent influence of Elizabeth Warren. She’s the same candidate she was in 2020, which is to say an empty vessel, a construct seeking to capture and project whatever views will get her elected in a given year, ideally without ever having to articulate anything of any detail.

Developing a body of rigorous, high-quality #bitcoin research is low-key absolutely essential to advancing the policy discourse. Anyone who paid attention to the Obama era or even to what someone like JD Vance is trying to do with the GOP right now understands the importance of research > journalism > better, richer discourse > better, more thoughtful policies. It may sound staid on the surface, but this is key. Need the research for the discourse, need the discourse for serious policy. Kudos to @Bradley Rettler, @Troy Cross, @Craig Warmke, @Andrew M. Bailey and others for doing this work. View quoted note →

I like the idea of Chris Cornell more than the idea of Scott Weiland, but if I’m being honest with myself I think actually enjoy more stone temple pilot sings than soundgarden songs. Unsure if I feel ashamed or not.
