If you haven’t heard that 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 by now, you must be living under a rock — most likely one that’s not on Mount Olympus.

Memes come and go pretty quickly here on #TheNostr

That’s why I had to quickly post this note to present a 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘯 of hoodies to commemorate this moment on Citadel Dispatch 113 with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5

All proceeds will be evenly split with 2/3 going to support their respective projects. This hoodie will only be available within the next couple of weeks and there are two options to grab one.

OPTION 1:

https://shop.thebullishbitcoiner.com/products/zeus-the-node-is-in-the-phone-hoodie (Bitcoin is accepted — just select that option during checkout and I’ll send you an invoice)

OPTION 2:

Send me a DM here or on SimpleX. I’ll send you an invoice (ZEUS PAY ofc) and collect your shipping info there.

NOTES:

⚡️ Payments in bitcoin will get a 21% discount

⚡️ If I’m unable to ship to you, I will let you know beforehand

If you can’t tell, I’ve been super excited about ZEUS PAY. I’m grateful to be able to contribute in this way, and give both projects a $boost 🫡🏛️🧡⚡️ nostr:note1zz04c8pajk72h3ahgq4gal3s0ad55u3mu88nctfcfjuw9xkf7sjqdh2jae

THE NOTE IS IN THE NOSTR

So we don‘t have to use the same terms for all protocols. I tweet and retweet on nostr.

would have been a great name!

Try to separate your needs and put some stuff on traditional servers under your control. You don‘t need nostr for lightning payments. Experiment with content that is legal everywhere until you understand the limits of the technology.

More unpopular opinion: nothing is equal.

If the cops brutalize someone, and this person turns out to be a criminal, they get away with it.

If the person is a true innocent -- not a criminal in the Emmett Till, Rodney King, George Floyd, Mike Brown, and Trayvon Martin mold -- then there is a problem.

However, events like this are very rare.

Wasn‘t Trayvon Martin a drug dealer who violently attacked Zimmerman (or whatever his name was) and got shot in self defence? His old child photo just resembled the US-president.

You can think? Isn‘t that a bit too much freedom for an individual? A person that thinks could decide to commit all kinds of crime. That is not something that I will support!!!

Devs are not the guys who operate services.

It‘s been a while since I used tor, but if it‘s hard now to find illegal stuff then a lot must have changed in the recent years.

It wouldn‘t be funny. It would be frightening to see them be prosecuted.

If it’s true that Jon Stewart was dropped by Apple for his China+AI takes (Apple reportedly wanted Jon to be more “aligned” with their view due to their Chinese economic overlords), I wonder what his next path is.

Retire with his “fuck you” money and maybe do a couple independent projects for fun? Or do a more independent/decentralized show?

I grew up watching Jon’s Daily Show. I don’t agree with all his past or present takes, but I always found him to be the best political jester- the one who could bring complex serious topics to a younger audience with humor. And right or wrong, speaking from his heart and logic rather than fully advertiser-captured or audience-captured.

Curious to see what he does next.

Back then, I had the impression that he did not respect his audience. The „I say something in a funny way and then show clips of people who I disagree with using the same sentences to make them look stupid and unimaginative“ thing was annoying.

But it‘s sad that he get‘s canceled.
