Spring/summer season begins. 1 down, 15 more to go! This is going to be an awesome summer!!! 🏃‍♂️

We Iranians are preparing for our New Year. In just four days, we’ll celebrate Nowruz, the biggest and oldest festival in our culture, marking the arrival of spring.

For over 2,500 years, despite countless wars and challenges, nothing has ever been able to erase this cherished tradition. Nowruz, which means “new day,” is a celebration of renewal, nature, and togetherness. Families clean their homes, set up the Haft-Seen table with symbolic items, and gather to welcome the new year with hope and joy. It’s a time of fresh beginnings, reconnecting with loved ones, and looking forward to a brighter future.

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.

8 months later, yet we still know 0 about the guy who nearly took out Trump… 🤔

A person who reads is a reader.

A person who drinks is a drinker.

A person who walks is a walker.

What is a person who pees?

Heating your house with Bitcoin miners is obviously the future.

I received a Coinbase scam email earlier today and honestly it's the best one I've ever seen. Hats off to you, and fuck you, to those scammers. They're going to steal millions with this.

It's all legitimate sounding, and I honestly believed it at first, until I read the part where they gave me 12 seed words to use in my self custody Coinbase Wallet 😂

Help your friends and family. If they use Coinbase, reach out to them and let them know that it's a scam. (And help them withdraw to a real wallet that they own.)
