I asked DeepSeek if Kim Jong-un is a dictator. It answered yes, but then deleted that reply and quickly wrote: Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.

It seems to be censoring certain things after it already replied.

I haven't worn makeup in a decade in any public context. There was a bitcoin documentary that put some on me but I don't know if they aired it. Or maybe a brief moment. I don't know and don't care.

My husband often says I should wear makeup for special occasions. Which means he'd like to see it and I should practice more. I ignored this for years and he keeps reminding me, but this year I'm going to do better at it, for him. We have our 7-year anniversary coming up. I'm going to try to surprise him with it.

My argument previously was I can't be good at everything. If I'm going to run our main business then maybe it's fine if I'm not great at makeup. It's not that I don't have time, although that's a factor, but mainly I don't have mental bandwidth. I wear the same clothes, I don't wear makeup, I get the same haircut, and focus on finance and tech every day. When I'm alone for a season, separated by him due to travel, rather than figure out makeup I post too much on social media and write a 130k word science fiction novel manuscript (which in retrospective, he ends up really liking) to fill our time apart. So I'm like, "maybe makeup isn't me."

His argument, as a proper method to not insult his own wife, is that it would "be a shame to not ever dabble in make up", given how I could look in it.

Objectively it's a reasonable argument; there are plenty of iconic people that look totally different without makeup. His argument is that I should at least wear it sometimes. I've been meaning to give him that view for years but I keep putting it off. Years now.

But sometimes it's a character rather than a concept that brings us to an idea. Much like novels. It's about characters more-so than plot or worlds that wake you up to something.

So I see Kristi Noem at 53 with great makeup, looking amazing, getting sworn in as Secretary of Homeland Security.

All the politicians are thinking about her new position, but realistically myself and many other women are like, "fuck, that's my new 53 year old benchmark." She looks so good. Partially because she's attractive but also her makeup and hair are just so solid. I assume she'll be weak at the job but she'll look damn good doing it.

And so I think, "Well fuck, I hope I look half as good at 53 as she does. Maybe I can ignore this shit in my 30s but I have to figure it out by my 40s and 50s."

Anyway, that's my random vulnerable mental shit for Nostr.

It’s amazing to see new nostr users immediately understanding the power of zaps over legacy monetization tools, while some long time nostr users still want to argue it.

Shared Apple notes are more than enough.

FULL PARDON IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE AND UNEXPECTED.

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP.

HUGE PROPS TO BITCOIN POLICY INSTITUTE AND DAVID BAILEY FOR MAKING IT THE PRIORITY.

LETS ALL GIVE ROSS SOME SPACE. HE DESERVES IT.
