The 2025 news cycle

@Axios

Yes, I've been keeping track since my twitter days.

$15.5T in 6 years - and no slowing down in sight.

For context, assuming an average American earns around $50,000 per year, $15.5 trillion is equivalent to the LIFETIME earnings of about 310 million people.

Counter argument:

1) Real estate is never passive

2) businesses provide more cash flow

3) bitcoin provides better returns

Real estate tries to be both an income stream and equity play, instead I prefer to hold businesses that cash flow and bitcoin for equity.

All I want for Christmas is smaller government.

I think gmail is the last to cut, when one does want to not loose access to some accounts activated with the mail.

For me this is the last cervice I still have. Hopefully in the next days, I can quit the last services which use my gmail.

You think the fourth turning is over because of some memes on instagram and redpilling of normies on Twitter??

😂😂😂

It's insane to me that the Epstein files are used as a political football by both parties, as well as the voter base of both parties. "Look! Clinton is in the files!" says the red shirt. "Look! Trump is in the files!" says the blue shirt.

It shouldn't matter. Unspeakable things were done to underage girls (and boys) over a long period of time. Incredibly powerful people were (and are) involved. Politicians are implicated across the aisle, obviously, as are three-letter agencies. Some of the kids are ~5yrs old. Some of the photos show toddlers. What the fuck? "Disgusting" doesn't even begin to describe the situation. How broken is the current landscape if the only lens this is viewed through is the political lens?

One thing is worth remembering, however. It used to be a "conspiracy theory". Only a few months ago, talking heads and politicians would try to convince the public that there's no such thing as the Epstein files. Some high-ranking officials said as much under oath, even. What happened to perjury? Is it just a fancy word in today's day and age? I doubt that anyone will go to jail (except to commit "suicide"). And while perjury is a severe crime by most standards, it pales in comparison to what must have happened on the so-called "Lolita Express" that travelled so often to the "Virgin Islands". Oh, how funny. All these names. It would be comical if it wouldn't be so sad. Diabolical, even.

U.S. politics is a joke. The idea of justice as well as the legal system increasingly feels like a joke too. Innocent people are being jailed. Corrupt politicians and other officials are roaming free, because ... what? They are too powerful? Too influential? The system would destabilize too much if things would come to light?

Justitia holds a balance and a sword for a reason, and she wears a blindfold for a reason too. Today's reincarnation has no sword, no blindfold, and the balance she holds is obviously NOT using honest weights and measures.

What a laughable attempt at "transparency". I would laugh if it wouldn't be so horribly, horribly sad.

⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - Paris is the 5th DIRTIEST tourist city in the World — (American study).

I once thought that the point of life was purely enjoyment and self actualization. I’m finally coming to understand that it is more about graceful endurance in service to others, in spite of the evil in the world and artificial, imposed challenges. And in doing so, the glorification of God.

Maybe it’s capitulation. Maybe however, I have been an entitled fool for measuring my success and limiting my happiness by the yardstick of the attainment of worldly things and the achievement of personal goals.

The world looks hopeful and salvageable. May my example of service today inspire others to make it so.

Yikes. 2025 tried to normalize facial scans. 2026 looks ready to double down, pushing even further until we hit a breaking point (and yeah… anal scans, right nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s). All the more reason we need to keep building freedom technology harder than ever.

It never ends

I remember night skiing for 3.50.

⚡️☀️ SEE IT - NASA unveils the sharpest photo of the Sun ever taken!

This image was produced by NASA's Solar Probe, combining 200 shots to achieve the highest resolution ever.

The NASA solar probe mentioned is the Parker Solar Probe. It captured these close-up images of the Sun in December 2024, published in July 2025.

I produce a lot of content for #Nostr, get almost no engagement, and still find it more enjoyable than Twitter/X.💡

nostr:npub1whtn0s68y3cs98zysa4nxrfzss5g5snhndv35tk5m2sudsr7ltms48r3ec release coming very soon.

I’m ready to quit making films on politics and dedicated the rest of my 30’s to promoting NOSTR and Bitcoin full time!

I love my nostr friends 🥰

Siena. But be aware that we are in the week of the Palio, which basically vaporizes my time... :-)

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Michael #Saylor is not your hero. He definitely should not receive the amount of worship that #BTC maxis relish on him

You can just quit your job.

Is Nostr about to see a wave of young users?
