Had lunch near three weird piles of stones, and then went over to check them out.

yeah the fudge-rounds line was dumb but my man is singing his heart out

Met someone who is more Bullish on #Nostr than me. Had to climb a MTN to find him. #Bitcoin

It’s forever.

Home internet has been out for a few hours tonight due to a storm, and no ETA yet on when it will be back up. If you run a lightning node at home, have you considered the need for redundant internet service, or do you have some other backup plan in case of a prolonged internet outage? Curious how others approach it. This type of situation was yet one more reason why I shut my channels down last year, and why I just run non-custodial mobile apps like Breez now.

If even one person on here decides to look into #Bitcoin and/or the philosophy of Alan Watts, my time has not been wasted.

Brain washed people again putting their masks on? Wtf is going on with the society ?!

Grateful to live somewhere where I can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. 🌌

I know everybody's excited about the SEC losing in court, and it is indeed an important victory, but it's worth bearing in mind that Gensler knew he was acting outside the law long before the verdict. The largest institutions care less about what is legal than what they can get away with.

Given how long it takes the courts to rule, it is a reminder that in the context of the government's own misconduct, there are limits to the utility of law.

I constantly hear that Bitcoin is ”apolitical”.

I think that is a truly bizarre statement.

It is in NO way aligned with SOCIALISM.

It is HIGHLY aligned with true market economy.

How is this in any way ”apolitical”?

Finally, signed up for jiu jitsu next week 🤼

Wanted to announce the closure of the zap naming selection. I’m going to confirm but I’m pretty sure the winner is #[1]​ with the name GLaDOS 🧡🧡

Starting down the Whitney Webb rabbit hole… #bookstr #grownostr

Marcus Aurelius was probably a good one to precede this so I can not be totally pissed off while I hear about what corrupt, rapist, monstrous pieces of shit our political hood ornaments are & the deep state psychopaths who actually run the country 🙃😆

Similarities between Druids and Bitcoiners:

No one knows whence they came.

Keepers of oft-forgotten traditions.

Resist being ruled by anyone else.

Regularly meet to reach consensus.

In harmony with forces of nature.

Modest but self-sovereign lifestyle.

The Greek explorer, Pytheas, had this to say about Druids:

“Britain, we are told, is inhabited by tribes who are indigenous and preserve in their way of life the ancient customs. For example they use chariots for their wars ... and their houses are simple. Their behavior is simple, very different from the shrewdness and vice that characterize the men of today. Their lifestyle is modest since they are beyond the reach of luxury which comes from wealth.” nostr:note19d92qzu2vwr6vlgd9v0lfwhxjm7tefvzcxfghx97x0xcymnvu5wq60nx4e

Do not comply.

To a newborn, the experience of leaving the womb may have felt like a near death experience. Perhaps that is also why infants are so blissful; they’ve died before they died and have peace with the natural cycle of life, of which growth and decay are integral parts.

And perhaps that’s part of why many adults become anxious and miserable; they’ve forgotten about the ebb and flow of the universe, about the beautiful connection between all things. Feeling isolated and adrift, they anxiously cling to their present incarnation as to a single burst of fireworks that’s already fading in the dark night.
