Biden announced he is not running for president on Twitter, a centralized company, via an account for which it is understood he doesn’t control directly.

When thinking about the future, this feels like such archaic technology in the present. This is a world where the SEC account was compromised not that long ago and posted market-moving false information.

If a president has nuclear codes, he arguably should also have a signing key for any important communications.

Keep an ear out for this one 👏🏻🫡 nostr:note1z9zq3ax5jchxdfklglteju2v5td8tn4k475ukrcsg7as5ae3n3nsyy3kr6

He's right. For starters, most people should at least establish a known Nostr identity as a backup.

Julian’s first birthday in freedom in fourteen years.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE. TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.

VIA WIKILEAKS 👇

“JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

I've watched Poor Things and it's a really good movie. Recommended. You'll find it in the cinemas and on your favorite Torrent site.

I wanted to introduce myself to this platform. I am a doctor, surgeon, BTC bull and in general, a life loving person.

Easier FTUX UI.

Truly amazing how anti-free speech the younger generation is.

It’s just words you fucking pussies.

When bitcoin hits $100k, I’m replacing all my underwear with these-

The Carnival of Venice is occurring now.

Venetian masks are sometimes used to symbolize decadence. But historically, there was a lot more to them than that.

Centuries ago, Venice was a highly stratified society, meaning big gaps between the wealthy nobles and the commoners, and between men and women. But the Venetian carnival, and any parties where the masks were worn, were opportunities for the nobles and commoners to mingle as equals without knowing or caring someone's social station.

The masks removed identity, and along with it, removed many consequences of interaction. People could speak their mind and interact more thoroughly without the heavy restrictions of the social stratification. And they could be critical of the current social structure without it necessarily being tied back to their identity. If society is open, then perhaps anonymity is rarely needed. But if society is closed or repressive, then anonymity is a tool to change minds while minimizing the consequences to the individual.

And Venetian masks were all different and beautiful, coming in all manner of styles and colors. The wearer could express themselves without revealing themselves, similar to how we might think of a social media avatar today, but in the real world.

Authoritarian/fascist governments on multiple occasions banned the carnival and criminalized the wearing of the masks, because anonymity and social equality were perceived as threatening to them. But as those governments fell, the carnival and tradition returned.

Anyway, good morning Nostr.

Here a tough one, #Nostr #Plebs!

You have to sleep with one of these or face losing all your #Bitcoin
