My 'regular node-runner wondering what to do' take is this: the OP_RETURN thing isn't so much about which solution is better but about the **way** this was done. I'm switching (the rest of) my nodes to knots chiefly to protest that. Allow discussion. Work it out. Let the market decide. No stiff-arm tactics.

#nicotine Tried [nicnac](https://www.nicnac.com/). Honestly, meh. 6mg is too weak. Knowing there's no garbage in them somewhat makes up for it, but not thrilled. Still can't beat the [real thing](https://www.snusdirect.com/general-snus/general-white-strong-large), in my book.

Conservative writer David Horowitz died yesterday after a battle with cancer. He was 86.

Big fan of Eric S. Margolis, to whom I was introduced (via podcast) by "The Great" Scott Horton. Margolis weighs in on Kashmir: "[Will We See Mushroom Clouds Over Kashmir?](https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/eric-margolis/will-we-see-mushroom-clouds-over-kashmir/)" #antiwar

An attack against my property is an attack against my person. And the right of self-defense is inalienable. 1. **avoid** the threat; if that fails, then 2. **de-escalate** the threat; if that fails, then 3. **incapacitate** the threat; if _all else_ fails, then 4. **terminate** the threat. The right to defend one's life **is** the right to life--it is the right to life _applied_.
