One of those days, eh?
Fact-Checkers Join Musk’s Ministry of Happy Truth: Same Control, New Drool
Zuckerberg gave them the boot, but fear not fact-checkers can find their new home at Musk’s X, where they can keep doing what they do best: controlling narratives, but with an added layer of Orwellian absurdity. With Wired reporting that Meta’s former fact-checkers are devastated over losing their “essential” role, Elon’s “be positive” directive gives them a fresh chance to police thoughts and this time with an algorithm that demands you drool on command.
It’s the same censorship, just downgraded for the digital age. Instead of slapping “missing context” labels on dissenting opinions, these fact-checkers can now enforce X-happy approved thoughts, keeping the algorithm satisfied and users comfortably numbed. Call it what it is: Orwell with a smile.
Zuck axed them, but Musk upgraded the playbook. Now, the Ministry of Happy Truth ensures that everything you read, post, or think falls neatly within the parameters of cheerful compliance. If you’re not happy, don’t worry, they’ll fix that for you, one algorithmic “positivity nudge” at a time.

Jimmy has spent over a decade contributing to the Bitcoin ecosystem, authoring books such as “Thank God for Bitcoin”, “Fiat Ruins Everything”, and many more.
We explore Jimmy's observations on Bitcoin's transformative power, the moral corruption of fiat money, and the role of virtue in sustaining a Bitcoin-centric life. Also discussed: challenges of societal change, personal agency, and psychological conditioning of nations which impacts the state of affairs in the Middle East and globally, in the near future.
Enjoy!
I really like your interviews.
Every shitcoin founder should sit on one of those. Size in descending order.
I’ve had intermittent hiccups ever since nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z put me in a choke hold last night.
Many people are saying he tried to crush my larynx because he’s intimidated that nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 is the fastest-growing Bitcoin podcast in the world, but I don’t believe the rumors (it’s also a ridiculous rumor because my almost super-human neck strength would never allow that, and Preston knows it).
I believe he was simply so impressed by the size of my Adam’s Apple that he had to see if it was real (it is).
Many scientists are speculating that the hiccups are due to drinking 420 beers since arriving in Miami, but not due to Preston’s strong (but not strong enough) choke hold. I suspect the issue is the fact that only 69 of the beers were Miller Lites.
Anyway, hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve!

The purpose is to give your child a better life than you had, teach him/her enough to be independent and be able to do the same to your grandchildren.
DNA forensics didn't exist before the 70s, therefore police couldn't associate crimes to the same killer.
