How 1.5 Billion People Agreed That Nothing Is Real and Everything Is Permitted

Rationality is solo sport in world rewarding team play. This guy has so many interesting takes. Entertaining read.

Virgin Births, Vegas Odds: POLITICS

Where the rational animal votes against its own interests while calling everyone else stupid.

Gordon Lightfoot doesn't get enough love. What a talent.

When I was half-way through with Stolen Focus by Joann Hari I was ready to buy everyone I know a copy. Now I'm 2/3 the way though the book and in a very different mood. Such a great identification of the problems of our brains being hijacked by big-tech. Unfortunately so far the main solution he proposes is more government. Very disappointing. I am hoping the last bit surprises me. I'll update when I'm done with the book.

It's wild that you can be famous for pantomiming other peoples skits. she is pretty amusing.

The Magic Pill documentary. featuring some of my faves: Dr. Cate Shanahan and Joel Salatin. Probably not a lot of new information for most Nostriches, but a good watch for your normie friends and family.

Either I'm not online enough or my focus on decentralized solutions is paying off because I don't usually notice when these "internet outages" happen. Kind of like the government being shut down.-Can't say I really noticed that either.

Wild Northern Lights!

I think I've waited long enough for Fold to get a credit card. I may take the plunge for the Gemini credit card. any thoughts? anyone want to send me a referral code?

I just like this one a lot.

I am enjoying the #OpportunityCost app. Give it a try. It does make you think.

Just a few photos from the garden. Very excited to maybe get a decent amount of grapes this year. And for the garlic-from-seed people- do you save the tiny little garlic looking things from the bloom too, or just seeds? #garlicstr #grownostr #gardenstr

Too warm to run the big miner. Just got my @Solosatoshi.com 🇺🇸 BitAxe up and running. How exciting. Wish me luck! 🤞 😄

@Deleted Account These ones are for the middle one and 29000 sats for the one on the right is larger and is 33000 sats. Again shipping $15 for one and $20 for 2. (I will convert to sats at the time of order)

Here are a 2 to choose from. I have more. @Deleted Account These ones are 29000 sats each. $15 for shipping one and $20 for shipping 2 to the continental United States.

So far, I can't say enough good things about @Alby 🧡 and their support team. I have (I think) finally gotten my Alby Hub figured out on my @Start9 server . Even though I am not at all technical, I am the "Uncle Jim" for my family. Alby Hub is a handy tool for creating wallets for friends and family for a little fun sats. And you don't need a Start9 to take advantage of it. Admittedly, I am probably not scratching the surface of all it can do. I would recommend the Alby Hub for anyone who is in a similar role with their family.

I thought I had fixed my wallet issue, because now I can zap others. I suspect not-can someone try zapping me?

I've entered the phase where I name my animals after my favorite bitcoin podcasters, wallets, etc. Meet Lightning and Lopp. @Jameson Lopp Sorry, I can't name anything this cute @econoalchemist -maybe I can give a rooster that handle.

Does anyone know why I can zap others from Primal app but not on primal on desktop? I changed away from an Alby hub and now am using the primal app wallet. I must be doing something wrong. 😕 I'm also pretty sure I can't get zapped.
