I refuse to identify as a progressive thinker, even if I am NOSTR only. Maybe progressive is a dirtier word where I live (North America) than elsewhere
I think I’d enjoy having this in my memory banks more than doing it
What about a floating shark cage?
Nature is flipping off the climate alarmists
This is so weird. Talking Heads have been on my mind all day for some reason. nostr:note1x444hu5fap34394jpakg9pefu0vthq4w97yyp0y9a43qrrz48hus8dezvf

These days Turandot reminds me of Rogue Nation. The southern ocean reminds me of Crosby Stills and Nash. Can’t go wrong with any of the above. Anyway your updates have been making me smile 😊
At this point a 50 year marriage would require about 30 years of extra life expectancy, so that’s tempting. Still, the bitcoin is more realistic.
Brother you ain’t kidding. Wait till you see the showers aboard Emirates! (only on the A380) 
Way to celebrate!!! That’s awesome
Justly or not, the city as a whole would never enter my mind if it weren’t for it being mentioned by Nat and Sam and you. I’ve been to the top of the Arch and in my memory, that’s the whole place. I’m sure it indeed deserves better.

12 DEVS ENTER. ONE DEV LEAVES.
When voted off the island they’re forced to work on Eth 😱
I can’t stop hearing Doctor Evil asking his henchmen for exactly this “… a frickin fembot with frickin laser beams on…”
It’s as good as, in my book 😎
If I find a place where candidates aren’t required to use their given names, I’ll invite you there. And THEN vote for you.
Looks like “hordes of intermediates jammed into one little area,” which brings to mind my favorite Downfall parody:

My Nostr predictions for 2025
Exactly one year ago I published my Nostr predictions for 2024. Some came true, but most were, shall we say, aspirational, and, if we want to be generous, directionally correct. Happy to continue in the same vein and go out on a limb for 2025. Here we go, ordered by likelihood of coming true:
1. Primal will become much, MUCH better. Primal 3.0 will be a bigger leap forward than Primal 2.0 was. We will surprise everyone by the features, speed, level of polish, and ease of use.
2. Many other Nostr clients will impress by their progress in a relatively short time frame. If I had to pick one, I have a really good feeling about Highlighter.
3. Way more bitcoiners will join Nostr. While we currently only have a small subset of bitcoin enjoyers on Nostr, the new features and unique content will make Nostr irresistible to anyone interested in bitcoin.
4. Bitcoin-adjacent communities will start to discover and join Nostr. This will include health & wellness, financial twitter, human rights, libertarians, and other communities. As a result, the network will grow and become more formidable.
5. Spammers gonna spam. With the growth of the network, spammers will return in force. They will be sophisticated and relentless, putting all of our spam mitigation services to the test.
6. The Blossom protocol will make media hosting on Nostr much more robust and resistant to censorship.
7. Long form content will start to hit its stride on Nostr. This includes textual long form content (blogs, essays, articles, etc.) as well as long form video content.
8. Multiple Nostr projects will find effective and ethical ways to monetize, marking a watershed moment for the protocol. We will witness the formation of the first cohort of real businesses on Nostr, signaling the inevitable changing of the guard and the eventual extinction of the Legacy Web.
9. Nostr will experience a glimpse of what a ‘suddenly’ mainstream adoption moment looks like.
10. By the end of the year, everyone - even the haters - will realize that Nostr is going to win.
11. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx will accuse me of not being bullish enough.
One thing is certain: we will keep pushing until we will this thing into existence. 🤝
Anyhow, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Pura Vida, and Peace and Love to you all! ♥️☀️
#11… too easy 🤣
God Jul to all! And of course, Mele Kalikimaka!
I always have the same two problems with shutdowns; They’re partial, and they’re temporary.
