How do you keep rice from sticking to the bottom of the damn pot? #foodstr

Browning meat is a reminder that worthwhile things often begin with a moment of intensity. #foodstr

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky’s security personnel were seen carrying the Laugo Alien.

We rarely acknowledge just how eloquent the body is. Long before we utter a word, our posture has already delivered a small essay on our state of mind. We stand, sit, and move in ways that reveal—often against our will—our hopes, our fears, and the elaborate strategies we’ve developed to appear more robust than we truly feel.

Conflict is fighting to be understood. Connection is fighting to understand.

One of the most awful things about being a human being is that you’re constantly hurting others in small ways and large. Often through stupidity, exhaustion, narrow-mindedness, etc. Etc.

What mistake did you learn from today? #asknostr

There are really two major worlds emerging, and they’re drifting farther apart every moment: 1. The Compliance‑First Camp: This side is focused on regulation, KYC, AML, anti–terrorist financing rules, and making sure every transaction has a paper trail long enough to satisfy a small army of auditors. Their mission is to make crypto fit neatly inside existing financial frameworks—clean, trackable, and institution‑friendly. 2. The Privacy‑Driven Camp: This group sees crypto as a tool for autonomy, censorship‑resistance, and personal freedom. They prioritize privacy, permissionless access, and minimizing the amount of personal data anyone has to hand over to use the system. To them, anonymity isn’t a bug—it’s the point. Right now, the social contract of the crypto ecosystem is drawing an increasingly sharp line between these two bubbles. They share the same technology, but they’re living in different philosophical universes. You can straddle both camps for now, sure, but soon it won’t be a fence you can sit on at all.

GM Have a peaceful day.
