No matter how many battles seem to have been won over the past few years, in the war the powers of darkness are still very much in the ascendency. The inexorable grind is relentless.
Can’t believe I went to all the effort of not telling my wife how well our Bitcoin was doing at 124k, because that’s the cast-iron jinx, and the thing went back to five digits anyway.
Apparently merely thinking it is enough.
There are some things you get to revisit as a parent that were key memories from your childhood and are an absolute privilege to enjoy.
Here’s my favourite page from Mog, which I’ve now got to enjoy with two kids, and every time I hear my mother’s voice.

Apropos of nothing, the next two dates in sequence are October 5th, 2026 and September 4th, 2029.
I have entered both in the #bitcoin diary. Somewhat gloomily.
Honestly if they take down Authy and Bitwarden and whatever the third party service is that sends confirmation text messages on behalf of banks, my entire online footprint goes up in smoke.
Going to start writing passwords down again.
Canada, already on the express elevator, going down, quietly clears cloned meat for disclosure-free sale.
Keep supporting local farmers, folks. #foodstr #ohcanada
The Franco-communists are at it again. No escape for you with #bitcoin, monsieur.
Digital ID -> CBDC -> squeeze the alternatives with state monopolies of law, intimidation, ultimately violence.
One solitary Mars bar in the kids’ candy haul - must be the most expensive to manufacture and rarest in the variety boxes?
Most prevalent this year: Smarties, Aeros, Kit Kats, Sour Patch.
Happy Halloween!
This overt trolling is quite something. It’s the brazen bit of “and they know we know they are lying (and they just don’t care)”.
Of course, digital ID is only effective as a total control measure once you’ve cancelled cash and got the peasants onto a CBDC. So that’ll be the next speed run.
Facebook microphone pickup is ridiculous. I’ve literally expressed no interest, online or verbally, in ham radio before in my life. Say “that looks fun, I’d like to try that” while watching a radio sequence in “Elio” with the kids and I get a random highlight from a shortwave radio group on my next open.
Happy Birthday, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Released 30 years ago today, October 1995.
Right in the middle of peak “teen musical imprinting” for me, was completely absorbed by the Pumpkins at the time. Still can recite every lyric and note of the solos.

In Canada we should be splashing around in near limitless energy resources, but we are governed by compromised dullards and so we get this.
British Columbia to perma-ban the crypto industry from its electricity grid, and data centers will have to compete for power allocation every two years. Although as we are also in the process of dismantling property rights I doubt any serious business would want to take the risk anyway.
