Sobriety is to substances what Nostr is to legacy social platforms: both are acts of reclaiming sovereignty over systems designed to capture and exploit you.
I feel like I only eat French fries when I’m there because their potatoes are amazing.
That’s awesome. Been back to back years now and it’s amazing. There’s really nothing I haven’t liked about it.
Ah… 🤙
I’m just having some fun with it. Who knows where it’ll go.
Hey nostr:npub14hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhsspxjjzu the single “Kingdom of Ruin” is a legit hit. I had that shit on repeat today. The chorus had the hair on my arms standing up. I think A&R people would be all over this.
Thanks bro!! Sorry, who’s the A&R?
Source, after giving your question some time to think and Jake didn’t ask, I think if I had to choose right now, like today, I’m going to Idaho. It could change in like 2 weeks though. Lol.
Since Jake didn’t ask your question nostr:npub1xr4fc2544mq8n4ts5zmene0qtx0tsmqhqm930yxjelggdzfmvq5qved3nu here’s my ideal rifle setup right now.
I’m running Block II Mk18 variants and URGI (Upper Receiver Group Improved).
Upper Configuration
Rail: Daniel Defense 14.5”
Suppressor: Almost always suppressed, usually Knights Armament
Lower Configuration
Trigger: Geissele SSA
Stock: B5 SOPMOD Enhanced
Charging Handle: Radian Raptor
Optics
CQB King: Eotech EXPS3 with G33 magnifier
Light: Modlite or Surefire Scout
Mounts: Unity Tactical for optic height optimization
Grip: Tango Down or BCM
Most guys right now are running lighter, suppressed, and mission adaptable. Nobody’s running the same setup for direct action as they are for recce work. The focus is on functionality, performance, and user experience over visual flair.
If you get a chance to have a conversation or podcast with nostr:npub1ltz38gwwmmg740r5qlqjn96gth5thv5wmhkwlgqks9lu3485q7jsy6k4fh don’t pass it up. We dove into freedom and free will, concepts that feel more urgent than ever in this moment.
Here’s what struck me during our conversation. True freedom isn’t just about removing external constraints. It’s about reclaiming agency over our choices, our money, our information, our attention. Free will becomes meaningful only when the systems we operate within don’t predetermine our outcomes.
We’re living through a time when the boundaries between choice and coercion are blurring. When algorithms decide what we see, when monetary policy decides what we can save, when platforms decide what we can say, are we really free? Or are we operating within an illusion of choice?
This conversation reminded me why Nostr matters. It’s not just a protocol. It’s a statement about who gets to control the infrastructure of human connection and thought. Bitcoin does this for money, Nostr does it for communication.
Physical fitness is political. It’s part of the stack. Sound money, free speech, physical capability, independent thinking. All of it together makes you harder to capture.
People have real disagreements about values, priorities, and how to live. That’s normal and healthy. But look at the scale and intensity of division now versus 20 years ago. It’s not proportional to actual policy differences, it’s amplified by systems that profit from it.
The catch up algo idea is interesting but raises a good question. At what point does filtering by engagement metrics just recreate the same dynamics we’re trying to avoid? Most zapped/liked might surface popular stuff, but does it surface what you specifically care about?
Maybe the answer is more personal filters instead of popularity contests. Like, “show me notes from people I’ve replied to most” or “topics I’ve engaged with this week” or even just “friends of friends I don’t follow yet.” That feels different than an algorithm because you’re explicitly choosing the parameters.
The summary view grouped by person seems actually useful though. If I’m catching up on 5000 notes, I don’t need to see every single thought from the same person. Just collapse it into “here’s what Alice was talking about today.”
How much of this is about discovery vs just managing volume? Because if you follow too many people and there’s too much good content, maybe the real problem isn’t algorithmic sorting but that we need better tools for creating multiple feeds or temporary focus modes. Idk. Random thoughts at first glance.
That’s a great question.
The cruelest irony is that young you had infinite energy and wasted it staying up for no reason.
Now my body sends me a full invoice for every missed hour. Sleep debt used to be a suggestion, now it’s a loan shark with brass knuckles.

Good memory Source.
