Hand churned butter from France called Le Gaslonde

My life is different after having it

I dropped X for Nostr a little over a month ago and since then:

I’ve written and published five essays on Springsteen’s album Nebraska, five to go

I’ve read Jim Webb’s Born Fighting as well as Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War (recommend both)

Put a dent in Atlas Shrugged

My bandmates and I are gonna record an EP at the end of February and I’m playing way more guitar than any time since I was a teenager

I’m upstairs reading in bed with my wife before she falls asleep way more often

I get all the news I need from the Nostr report, to paraphrase Paul Simon. I’m not a technical person; I just enjoy writing, reading and playing music, so I’m indebted to the people who are making this thing happen: nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and the ego death folks like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a and nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe . There are a bunch more who I don’t know yet but I’m gonna zap you when I figure out who you are. You’re making my life even better, so thank you.

Leap into the bear pit

I used to know someone whose dad was this reactionary, red-faced guy who responded with anger to stuff all the time and was very easily perturbed by things not going his way. I could never figure out at the time (2015-2020) how this guy was such a die hard Democrat. Temperamentally he was like the bloviating conservatives that ruled the day when I was a kid.

But the Dems have largely become the party for ossified thinking and reactionaries. I hope that changes and we get some real dynamism across the whole spectrum of American politics.

Stringer Bell changed, man

I read nostr:npub14thcl0gkg3m80wff05zmkcvqfsjys2as22j6m2zp53vrr0h2hscs724jva ‘s note yesterday about Bitcoin being alive and had to go walk the dogs around the neighborhood just to think about it

ma il cielo è sempre più blu

Agree - I look around here and mostly just see people putting work in one way or another

It was a circuitous path to get to the things I’m trying to learn about now in terms of politics and philosophy and so on. I was way into Marxism in school, and I used to get embarrassed about that. I see it now as something I fell for, and I wonder if I’d been handed a copy of The Fountainhead or something instead of the Communist Manifesto (or RATM’s first album), if I’d fallen as hard in the other direction.

Anyway I’m glad I am where I am and that I’m not gonna stay here forever. We have to let each other grow.

Check out Steve Winwood’s “Valerie” today if you get a chance

I check their front page to see what the powers that be are pushing, but yeah when someone’s not critical of the NYT at all it’s kind of a non-starter

POTENTIAL NEW WAY TO PUSH NOSTR TO THE MASSES:

“COME TALK W nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a ABOUT GUNS”

PEOPLE WOULD DIG IT
