Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.

The reason for a rule often becomes clear just after you’ve broken it.

One thing I love about Nostr is how passionate everyone is about their thing. Whatever it is, the people here go hard on their passions.

Sometimes I’ll follow someone just based on their energy about their craft or interest. I might have never thought about the thing that lights them up, but I follow to be a part of it.

No algorithm can replicate that human spark.

which company enraged the most people? right now I'm thinking IKEA

There are many talented artists,

and the fact that someone chose me

feels like a quiet little miracle.

I don’t chase it. I don’t expect it.

I receive it — like a gift.

With respect, and a heart that keeps painting.

Thanks 🙏

Wow, EU/dec diplomacy. They should have read the Art of the deal.

"Yesterday’s trade deal between the US and the EU will cost the eurozone economy approximately $60.9 billion per year, according to Bloomberg’s calculations (see below). This is due to worsened export conditions for EU goods in the US.

However, on top of that loss, Brussels will also be footing the bill to America.

It has committed to purchasing energy resources from the US worth more than $217.4 billion annually. That’s more than ten times what the EU spent on Russian energy resources last year, so it will be difficult for American sources to simply replace Russian ones. Even if Russian deliveries dropped to zero immediately, the EU would still need to cut at least $195.7 billion per year in energy imports from other parts of the world (non-US) to fulfill the deal with Trump.

Given that the EU economy—or specifically the eurozone—is expected to shrink by $60.9 billion annually due to Brussels' trade agreement with Trump, demand from EU businesses for energy is also likely to decrease, further complicating the commitment to absorb American energy in the agreed volume of over $217.4 billion.

But that’s not all. Under the deal, the EU will also have to invest $547.8 billion in the US. On top of that, it will need to purchase large quantities of American weapons."

HEAVY YES YOU ARE. ADD HONEY TOO!

“Well, now, don't you tell me to smile

You stick around, I'll make it worth your while

Got numbers beyond what you can dial

Maybe it's because I'm so versatile”

It is an absolute certainty that you will lose friends, often very close ones, when you rip the self-imposed muzzle off and choose to speak truth to power with your entire heart and soul.

The earlier you accept this and push forward for the greater good—knowing that even BETTER friends will enter your life as a result—the better.

Yesterday, I was celebrating ATH day on the river and got into deep conversation with a random guy after he saw my "Make Money Hard Again" hat.

His words stuck with me:

Marriages have 3 core pillars of strength.

- Romance

- Finances

- Religion

As long as you have 2 of these, you can stay solid, but many marriages fail because they only have one pillar to stand on.

Anyways the dude then kinda scoffed at bitcoin and reminded me that even smart people are retarded sometimes.

Happy ATH Season!
