Just followed everybody I wasn’t already following, thanks y’all

This movie is so wild. Love lynch

Big week for the times. First the anti-Constitution piece, now an anti-air-conditioning piece. Wonder what’s next.

Agreed, and I think in doing so we’re also kind of gradually killing creativity on a societal scale in a systemic way. It’s like a slow suffocation.

You can see how this changes the way people write, the way contemporary authors set scenes, recount details, make observations, etc.

Difficult to make compelling, sustained observations, which birth connections and lead to unexpected and interesting thoughts, when one is habituated to spending massive amounts of waking life on a smartphone and leaves no space for quiet, for boredom, and for contemplation.

Non-exhaustive list of my favorite covers. Enjoy, nostriches.

Dear god this looks incredible

True, and this is why #nostr is great. I get to post constantly about David foster Wallace, Kafka, DeLillo, Wong Kar Wai films, writing, Brazilian music, oh and also Bitcoin.

Stay weird everybody. And share your weird light with the world. nostr:note1yu5jzgfgwyac9nkuzlfgx8d6jq6cf23ztsxe3qsqslhphmek0hqqgwasfj

Banger episodes lately, Trey. Well done!

That’s a fair reading, and I hear you on the Free Press. Nevertheless, I’d love to have heard a resounding rebuke of Brazil’s overreach, and what it portends for speech on the internet, from some of X’s competitors vs. a celebration of the opportunity to acquire more market share (until the govt turns on them too, of course).

I find him more interesting now I think, give where we are with AI, entertainment, political polarization, conceptions of individual liberty, etc. Def a good time to revisit!

Remember also that Bluesky CEO Jay Graber has praised Brazil for its treatment of X and Elon, which is to say its hard lean into censorship. nostr:note1s2y8egtcreus72scktzmm68y4apgsgpx2h6w6nrsnyeqt7pkee8qnwuj5v

Hear hear! Pumped for the rebrand and personally very much feel Trey’s evolution here. I’ve wrestled with much the same myself for the last couple years. Historically came from the left, have gradually come to a place where I don’t identify with either party in any meaningful way. I’ve even officially changed my party affiliation to independent.

I used to talk and write about how I think the two-party system will ultimately capitulate to #bitcoin and/or be essentially forced to reconfigure and reconstitute in some creative destruction process as a result of #bitcoin (versus Bitcoin capitulating to or being slammed ill-fittingly into the current two party paradigm).

Bitcoin basically introduces competition into the two-party duopoly that is our current politics.

And more importantly, beyond the two-party company town lies the frontier. That’s where we’re heading. Looking forward to and grateful for Trey’s voice and efforts on the journey.
