Daily Roman Fact:

The early reign of the ineffectual Emperor Nero was frequently being meddled with by his mother Agrippina the Younger. This came to a head when it came to light she may be setting up a cousin to take over for Nero that would be more compliant with her suggestions. Due to this apparent betrayal Nero decided to have her killed. However, even on that Nero bungled. According to sources he tried to have her poisoned three times, rigged the ceiling above her bed to fall on her while sleeping, and even managed to involve her in a shipwreck only to find out later she swam to shore. Eventually, he gave up pretenses of "accidental" death and just hired an assassin to stab her. That one worked. According to legend her final words were "Smite my Womb"

That's sad news. I've always been such a huge fan. I loved his work in Dragon Quest 11 as well.

Thanks! I'm glad someone is enjoying it 😂

GOOD MORNING ☀️

Bird of The Day: Black-chinned Hummingbird

This species uses diving displays (40–60 ft (12–18 m) dives) for territory defense and during courtship, producing an audible sound (a trill) as air passes through their feathers during the plunge. In courtship, males perform "pendulum" display, flying back and forth in wide U-shaped arcs, making whirring sounds on each dive. They also buzz back and forth in short flights in front of perched females. Black-chinned hummingbirds can exhibit territorial behavior around feeders as well as at other small feeding sites, becoming more defensive during breeding season. However, if there are numerous individuals in an area as well as multiple food sources, this species shows less territoriality.

That’s a great question. Personally I like the way primal is presented to me better but it runs like ass on my phone so I use Damus.

Andrew you have a great perspective. Nostr needs content. You enjoy bitcoin. Get your ass to nostr.

I really wish mainstream media would stop doing commentary on bitcoin. You don’t understand it. You can’t understand it. And you won’t understand it. So just fuck off.

Cheers 🍻 Nostr

I do quizzes on Coinbase for free shitcoins which I then immediately convert into bitcoin. That is the extent of my Coinbase usage. They can go fuck themselves.

It was actually the afternoon when I posted this. We had a blizzard in St. John’s. 50-80cm 😂

GOOD MORNING ☀️

Bird of The Day: Goldcrest

The goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is a very small passerine bird in the kinglet family. Its colourful golden crest feathers, as well as being called the "king of the birds" in European folklore, gives rise to its English and scientific names. The scientific name, R. regulus, means 'petty king' or prince.

nostr:npub1dgpt04w4c88wc0g262xaw8zvlm4mvwtmjhl0tn2sxtyjywsn6q4qt8ka3a you’d likely refer to this bird as a Bitcoincrest

Daily Roman Facts:

A man named Clodius snuck nto a female only religious rite with the intention of seducing Caesar’s wife, Pompeia. This led to Clodius’s arrest and trial for sacrilege. Ceasar gave no evidence at the trial and Clodius was acquitted. Nevertheless, Caesar divorced Pompeia. When people questioned what this might have had to do with the trial of Clodius, Caesar said, "My wife ought not even be under suspicion". It should be noted Ceaser was known all his life as a flirt and adulterer. Hypocrisy!
