Seen on LinkedIn: 'The Tax Foundation now ranks the UK 32nd out of 38 OECD Countries for tax competitiveness - a pitiful position for what was once marketed as "Global Britain." 'We're behind Hungary, Germany, even New Zealand. That's right Kiwis now have a more pro-growth tax regime than the supposed financial capital of Europe. 'Reeves' tax raids on capital gains, property, and employer NIC's have done their job: throttled growth, scared off investors, and cemented Britain's place in the bottom 20% of developed economies.' - Gary Dixon

French Justice Minister says the theft from Le Louvre tarnishes the country's image. I'd say the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony did a far superior job of that. Idiots 🙄 Agree? Disagree? #AskNostr French people I know told me they found the ceremony very effective in demoralising the population. There's a lot of that going around here in the UK too 🥺

@profk was in the house. We spoke about Nostr (of course), 🍿how it lets us build portable communities, 🍿that there's too much bitcoin content (change your follows 😉), 🍿the music biz, 🍿how I never want to see whatever a Bitcoin dance would look like 😂, and 🍿how he's responsible for my poetry collection coming out soon (!) and how scary it is to be so vulnerable Join our #purpledaystream on 31st October with @BITCOIN CULTURE FESTIVAL, LONDON 2025 29OCT-05NOV @2140.wtf #blockworkgallery @CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON

Everything about this video is beautifully perfect. Literally everything: the baby, the father, the paintings, the piano, the music - Clare de Lune, Debussy. This is the piece I started learning in the dark early mornings of February this year, until a house refurb blocked access to my piano last month. I can't wait to get back to it, but that won't be till next year. I never feel more at peace than when I'm practising piano and writing poetry. Thank god a refurb can't stop me writing 🙏🥹😊 View quoted note →

GM Nostr, a poem poured out of me this morning after seeing the image below. Does it make you remember a time you might have felt this way? I don't know what the title of this poem could be. Struggling with it. #asknostr Sometimes masks are too difficult to take off, hearts are too hard to open Sometimes dreams formed in the late late hours die, killed by sharp words Sometimes wounds heal and dreams revive with time and pure, unrushed gentleness Sometimes she thinks she could wait forever for the love that sang to her, but she cries, knowing there were no promises made, just the ones she makes to herself View quoted note →

I just recorded a conversation with @Short Fiat and @arkinox about @Fanfares for the #PurpleDay stream going out on 31st October. 2 things 1. This is a bit of a pinch me moment - if you had said to me 2 months ago that I'd be talking to Devs about their freedom tech work on a recorded call that will be released out into the wild, well I'd have rolled my eyes and kept reading about Nostr 2. WE want YOU to be part of the stream too. If you want to join in then pls msg me asap. We need your vids by 21st October AT THE LATEST! Shout-out to: @2140.wtf #blockworkgallery for coming up with the streaming idea in the first place. It's ace 😎 @Daniel Prince for introducing me to @Short Fiat 🙏 @arkinox for introducing me to @hodlbod 🚀 @Freedom Tech Co. for being a great support through all my side projects and hustles 🔥
