GM Today is my 100th day without booze. Today is also my100th day in a row of misery.

GM

I’m hiring. Personally and on behalf of companies I try to help. If you were fired or let go by someone who has pronouns in their email for not putting pronouns in your email and can prove it, kindly let me know. This stuff is still happening sadly. And I’m not sure how you build any kind of meaningful culture if you don’t start with some courage and common sense thinking as a value. Not one person with pronouns in their bio has researched at all what the suicide rate is for the community they purport to help or has thought critically at all about a solution to that. If they did, there’d be no pronouns in bio. This post is less for people on NOSTR and more for me to be able to point to the fundamentally incurious of the World that how I feel about this cannot be taken down now. Staying on track with culture here: remote work is great for wildly productive and integrous operators that can sink into deep work. Especially engineers. But a culture that is genuinely shite for stuff like this is what keeps some of these operators from wanting to be in person. A great culture means spending a material amount of your life getting paid for having fun by solving tough problems that matter together.

What’s the best open source alternative to signal? #asknostr

That look when you’re about to post your life’s seminal work titled, “Fundamental Incuriosity: why my cousin is the Worlds biggest asshole” and then see a “GM” on NOSTR.

Every time I read someone’s post about their mom or dad passing it guts me. It’s a wake up call every single time. I’m picturing a guy’s face clear as day who shared here more than a year ago. There’s nothing you can say back. And at the same time you want to say everything. You have this sense of gratitude, responsibility, sadness and all you can do is say “sorry for your loss”. I owe every single person who ever shared the deepest sense of gratitude that I got when they were at their lowest. What an unusual feeling of selfishness and guilt. I’ll never come close to explaining this feeling. It feels like the rawest human connection of love to someone you don’t know and that’s why it’s impossible to explain. I had a beautiful thought a year ago and it feels real today so I hope it comes through in a way that is intended which is with the utmost honor and gratitude: That was both of you sharing that message. And it was the just the beginning of a timeless connection that can move mountains. The connection is still there and you’re still working together. The connection will always be there and I hope this note helps you smile on it one day because it’s definitely worth smiling about. Thank you both and may God bless your paths to meet again.

Governor candidate for Arizona, Karrin Robson telling @Ben Justman🍷 about the problems with the money printer.

18,000 uber rides. I asked this dude what he’s learned about humanity. “Mostly good. I had only 3 bad rides and they were all under the influence. If the government would get out of the way and let people do what they do we’d be ok.”

Is there a #sportstr vibe on NOSTR at all? I like to keep my 20 minutes of sports per week in check. I like the Indians. They idolize Jose Ramirez in Cleveland and it’s worthy of it. I see the allure in how he plays the game right by hustling every play. But he’s loved because he legit knocked some dude out at second base talkin shit and Cleveland got to showcase its identity on the spot. It was like an immediate agreement of the right and necessary values at the time. The place went nuts and they lost their mind out of excitement. Doesn’t matter what race you are just don’t talk shit or you might get old fashion adjusted. That video and commentary was wild. It might make anyone a sports fan again. @Cleveland Bitcoin am I off here?

Testing out @AU9913 ‘s deodorant for the first time this morning. It’s plastic free in a cardboard dispenser. Application has been completed. Smells subtle, cedary and like a noble uncle would. Standby for performance rating. If I die tell my mom I love her and tell the World that Steve Winwood was the greatest musical talent that has ever lived.

Did anyone else grow up in a time and place where “hooked up” just meant making out and then one day it meant something completely different to everyone else around you and suddenly you froze to recall every time you heard it and who said it to reimagine a previous image you had or is that just me?
