The Telegraph cartoonist is consistently 👌
Man on the tube next to me reading a textbook with a chapter titled "Respecting the law". I guess there must be something disrespect inducing elsewhere in the book that they needed to counter 🤷♂️
The poor suit wearing souls who wear their sneakers while traveling to work, but then put their shiny black shoes on when they arrive, is such a fiat phenomenon.
Really silly when bitcoiners get accused of being "bag holders". Bitcoin is extremely liquid and any of us could relatively easily sell up for something else. We choose not to for very good reasons, but not because we're stuck with our holdings and are trying to flog them off.
Same is not true for a large VC holder of a shitcoin, of purveyors of ordinals or some other such illiquid thing.
"Don’t get me wrong; most of the socialists I’ve met seem like nice people. But they radiate incompetence. I doubt their families would trust them to plan a simple trip to Sea World. So what on Earth convinces these socialists that people like themselves should run not only the government, but the economy as well?"
😂

Happy to try help. Stopped using fountain for a while as not working properly for me in graphene
Had a really refreshing moment at work yesterday.
We were discussing results of an overall company employee feedback survey, and one of the issues brought up was that a "left" leaning culture was pushed / too dominant. Also, that DEI metrics were too much about physical attributes and not perspectives or ways of thinking.
I didn't expect any of my colleagues to have this view, let alone speak up about it. I made sure that I openly agreed just to reinforce that this was a more widely held and acceptable position.
I think the DEI stuff is fundamentally flawed (unfixable) and useless/harmful, but good to see the seeds of dissent in a typically progressive group of people (London tech).
Funny how none of the questions suggested by the BBC relate to how the media amplified government messaging and suppressed/mocked rational dissent.
All of the suggested questions presume more government intervention and an even larger role for experts and bureaucrats.
Next pandemic response guaranteed to be far worse.
Ah nice finally some non-meeting time to get real work done ...
Random executive: Not so fast, fill out this quarterly update (the 3rd one I've done this quarter so far 🤔)
Alden Snider debate was 👌
Lyn is an incredible rigorous thinker, and really showed the holes in Jeff Snider's reasoning.
One funny thing I noticed is when Snider said something about Bitcoiners working on the elasticity problem with "side pools". Really made me cringe and shows he has a bit more work to do before he can credible critique the potential for Bitcoin to serve as the world's main money.
Both deserve huge credit for how they handled themselves and let the other talk. Absolute pleasure to listen to.

That bear looks focused and moisturised
Truly bizarre BBC article. Woman is prosecuted for aborting her child at 32 weeks, and people are calling for the law to change in her favour.
32 weeks is about 4 weeks longer than the point that 99% of babies can survive with the right medical care.
This is an example of when you read something, and you can't help thinking that there's an agenda to shift the Overton Window.
Peace money
Loving Robosats. Using more and more, and something nice about the polite chat between buyer and seller during the trade 👌
This UFO/UAP stuff is such a psyop. Will be used to show lack of credibility in whistleblowers and "conspiracy theories". All the current story sources are linked to US intelligence agencies. Very sus.
Antarctica gained 600 Gt of ice during '09-'19 vs. a prediction of a 20k Gt loss

Lol, this is why the alarmists had the foresight to rebrand from Global Warming to Climate Change
I think you're ultimately right, Matt. But, I don't think there's a master plan at play. Its just that every incremental step makes sense to X, but eventually leads to too many people subjugated by yet another way too powerful centralized entity.
Right now the incremental step is to monetize the one thing Twitter can sell (attention) to a new group of customers (used to be advertisers only, now also users).
This centralizing force is pervasive and inevitable, which is why you're 100% right that we need to consciously reject it.
