Cranial nerves

ALERT: Google has been fined a staggering 20 decillion dollars ($20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) by a Russian court - more than all the money in the world, according to reports.

It would be great to see someone come along and own that space rather than choose Substack or some other b.s.

I think to kick it off here, some sports journalists have had some success building a following so far.

To find success as a journalist, I would go niche and cover what this small microcosm is into, like dev stuff, privacy, tech, Bitcoin, nostr, etc…

Everyone misses The Nostr Report. Would be cool to bring that back, for starters

Building an onboarding process without touching user keys with the current state of remote signing is like fighting with both hands glued to your face

The people complaining about the Washington Post apparently think that *it* was important enough to pay for.

Is there enough critical mass on nostr right now? Doubt it.

But someone has to go first…

The only thing I regret about not being on Twitter is that I don’t know if I’m zapping stolen and reposted memes.

#AskNostr

Also, I am not sure which, if any, journalists are independent here on nostr doing this the #v4v way.

Do you mean best paid using nostr to get paid, or best paid on here period?

Because there are professional journalists on here who work for news outlets…mostly in the Bitcoin space nostr:note1ff3g2s2vt45lrsvyvad9gwgmuh6lzu8xs76rwh38k0ulug8wpj8sgvhwp3

People still ensconced in mainstream media are whining about the Washington Post doing something they don’t like. So they are gonna stomp their feet and cancel their subscription.

That will show ‘em!

No one cares.

There is literally an off-ramp for journalists called nostr. You can do journalism and get paid for it on nostr. You can’t get cancelled, censored, or shadowbanned.

Don’t whine about the old system. Build something better. Build your own journalism. Your own audience that can’t be taken from you when Substack or Patreon or whomever changes the rules.

If you serve the public, they will pay you. If you serve your own interests, they will cut you off. No advertisers to tell you what you can and can’t say.

We used to innovate in the United States and that’s what made it great. Let’s get back to that. Where is your sense of adventure? Get off your asses or keep whining that a giant company owned by Jeff Bezos has easily predictable issues.

Fun fact: you could hide posts with *Spoiler Alert* and it would hide movie spoilers for you of we all followed this convention 😂

I’m not sure I believe that.

I heard #Meta is complicit in the Israeli #Genocide in #Gaza. Is this true?

NEW:

🇷🇺🇬🇧🇺🇲 Russia claims that they discovered that The ruling Labor Party in the United Kingdom is sending 100 specialists to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president of the United States.

From Maria Zakharova on her Telegram channel:

"The ruling Labour Party in the United Kingdom is sending 100 specialists to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president of the United States.

Either London has forgotten that the U.S. has been an independent country since 1776 and has sent its emissaries to appoint a governor-general of a royal colony, or the American Democrats are in serious trouble if they have to call on their former rulers for help. There’s another possibility—the U.S. just loves it when their elections are interfered with, as they interfere in others’ elections. A sort of electoral swing.

It’s an interesting precedent. Media leaks indicate that 100 party activists from another country will campaign for Harris precisely in the most challenging ‘swing states’ for the Democrats: North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Of course, the American people have considerable experience with British officials.

In 1773, Americans held the famous Boston Tea Party. Donald Trump is already using the slogan from that era—‘the British are coming!’ But the islanders aren’t novices either. It’s rarely remembered today, but in 1814 they burned down the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

These are events of the past, but in modern history, accusations from Washington of other countries interfering in U.S. elections occur more frequently than the national anthem.

One would like to ask: isn’t this British interference in American elections, and in favor of a specific candidate?"
