The irony of this is too much. I took a photo of The Big Print by @Lawrence Lepard so I could share on #nostr. iPhone uses an unfriendly image format so I have to convert to jpeg in order to post. I CANNOT open it in Photoshop and get this message on the "restrictions for copying and distributing banknote images"
lol—that’s what this book is about! The gov freely copies and distributes banknotes at will, which is why we are in this inflated mess. Thanks for the laugh Adobe.

The Big Print is a great book, time to pass on to my normie friends. @Lawrence Lepard does an excellent job distilling complex fiscal issues into digestible chunks. And as a visual person I found the charts very helpful. Because words hard.

Started reading The Mandilbles because @ODELL won't stop talking about it. 🤣 As an artist, this part resonated:
“Visual art stopped being about making anything a long time ago. It's all about talking. The talking is what you make.”
“Doesn't visual art have to be something to see?”
I definitely felt this when I went through art school. I wanted to learn to draw like Michelangelo, they wanted me blindfolded and using my opposite hand.
