Nationwide UK just sent me an email that they will be crediting my account (and 12 million others) with £50 because they acquired Virgin Money. They decided to spend £60 million on what exactly?

I love Linux for the control it gives me. Every day I have to start my fiat job with a boring, repetitive overly complicated process which also randomly fails sometimes. I just spent an hour to automate it. Screw the time saving, the pleasure I get from watching it whizz through tasks I hate is priceless. So I could not stop myself from shitposting about it, sorry 😅

Trump does not care about free speech. He is looking forward to signing into law the 'Take It Down' bill so he can censor his critics.

The entire MAHA press conference with Del Bigtree is well worth watching. Truth is about to be revealed.

When emailing someone, I can add an image to the email by encoding it as base64. Are there any #nostr clients which support this?

I am putting together a presentation on fiat, CBDCs, gold and #Bitcoin for a small meetup. The audience will be non-technical people who may have heard of bitcoin but know nothing about it. I have a slide each for the first three, to set the stage for the #Bitcoin part. Now I need to build the rest. Can you recommend Bitcoin #education materials I can use? Other than trawl through nostr or google for it, where can I get some memes? It is a first for me so all help appreciated!

Interview 1929 - John Titus Explains the War for Bankocracy | The Corbett Report

Today James talks to returning guest John Titus about his new documentary series, The War for Bankocracy, detailing the US Federal Reserve's ...

TLDR: A 30 min teaser for a much larger investigation into money and central banks by John Titus. It boils down to our financial system is grossly unfair, since a tiny minority can effectively create money while everyone else has to work for it. Those with the power are looking to increase and entrench it further.

Aaron Mate, in response to US defense secretary saying Ukraine will neither get the lost land back, nor get in NATO: "Hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive had Biden been willing to say this three years ago. Instead, Biden refused, fueled a proxy war, presided over Ukraine's decimation, and then turned around and said that Ukraine isn't ready to join NATO anyway. It was all a bait and switch with one goal only: use Ukraine to bleed Russia. Whoever went along with this epic disaster -- and that sadly includes progressive lawmakers and media -- should ask themselves if it was worth it."

All other recent presidencies were all about theft. I may have had a tiny hope that this will be different but it is vanishing, fast. Looks like under Trump the US will be as gangsta as always, but more openly and with some re-targeting. View quoted note →

"3. Donald Trump to halt enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials: “It’s going to mean a lot more business for America,” the president said in the Oval Office" Is he going to come clean and legalise racketeering next... child trafficking... it's all lots more business.

This could be a pivot nobody expected, least of all me. Is Trump really looking to balance things out for the Palestinians when he said US will own Gaza and rebuild it and then let Palestinians return? Definitely a surprising take on the topic.
