gm to hit the jim

Do I have to say GM first or is it okay as long as I get one in before noon?

Trump transitioned the masculine Gulf of Mexico to the feminine Gulf of America.

Oh dear.

It’s almost insane that we’ve become ok with filling out a bank form every time we want to do something simple online.

With Nostr + Lightning, creating an account, getting profile information, paying for a service, and getting the auth key for access could all happen in basically one step and maybe a couple of clicks.

How is Israel our “greatest” ally?? What do they do for America?

Everything is trending to zero when priced in #Bitcoin — your real estate bags included.

Before you scoff at Bitcoin, maybe make sure you’re smarter than these guys:

Henry Ford: Proposed an energy-backed currency to decentralize wealth and reduce banking elites’ power.

Nikola Tesla: Saw energy as the key to unlocking the universe’s secrets.

Buckminster Fuller: Advocated for money tied to kilowatt-hours for sustainable progress.

Friedrich Hayek: Pushed for private, commodity-backed currencies.

Let’s make a deal.

You say something true below and I zap you 615 sats.

I read Empire of Silence recently.

Pretty solid overall. It's the start of a 7-book Sun Eater series (plus novellas) about a space opera set 20,000 years in the future, where humanity has colonized a third of the galaxy.

And this is not a spoiler since it's from the first page: the protagonist blows up a sun at some future point in his story, resulting in the deaths of billions of people during war against aliens. It's written from his perspective in the future, as he goes into his life and how he got into that huge decision.

It's a slow-burn read. Excellent prose. Subverts a lot of expectations, while also having clear influences from books like Dune, and maybe Name of the Wind. Some of the characterization and plot details could be a bit stronger, at least for this opening book (can't comment on the full series yet).

Solid 4/5 stars imo.

It is extremely toxic. I wish someone would break their hold over business reach.

Home workout today - pulled out this blast from the past.

My family is captured as well.
