TIL that stray urban foxes are a thing in London. I live in the woods and have only seen a fox in the wild probably a dozen or two times over my lifetime, yet this morning I had one chilling 10 feet from me on the street. WTF.

The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Portugal formally declared their recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday ahead of the United Nations General Assembly.

France and several other countries are expected to also recognize Palestine this week, joining the more than 140 countries who already recognize a Palestinian state.

Several members of the Israeli government responded to the developments by calling for Israel to annex the Occupied West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would formulate a response after meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump next week, suggesting that annexation, further settlement growth and other moves aimed at undercutting a Palestinian state are dependent on U.S. diplomatic cover.

Any suggestions? (Not necessarily recipes but those are welcome too. Bonus cool points if they're zap.cooking recipes)

Im gonna take a nap & check back later 😊

I had been on Nostr since 2022 and used it sparingly. Then started a bit more in Q4 last year after seeing a lot of chatter. I gotta say though that nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx made me decide to put way more energy here in 2025 than X or any other platform. When I’m here I feel like I’m building the future - both for myself and the community I want to see.

I’m seeing and hearing some very silly takes that bitcoin is going “mainstream”

It’s really not.

2024 was a phenomenal year for Bitcoin, especially in the US, but it’s still ridiculed by much of mainstream media and certainly within ‘educated’ social circles around the globe.

The man on the street has never mentioned the word bitcoin before.

I’ve got plenty of videos to demonstrate this and I’m working on some more that you will see in January.

We are a long, looong way out.

The upshot is that there is a tremendous opportunity to get involved in the space, to educate, advocate and tell better stories.

So get involved and make 2025 your year 💪 💜
