One of the scary things about watching the decline of Western society is realising I am one of those weak men created by good times. And I need to become a strong man pretty quickly

People not knowing the difference between content moderation and censorship is both depressing and amusing

I love my kids

I genuinely believe America is the best country. Incredibly diverse environments, lots of space, built on some based principles.

Sure it has a lot of problems currently but I’m bullish. Wish I could move there

Okay #cookstr what’s the deal with stainless steel and heavy metals? Is nickel something to genuinely be concerned about? I love my stainless steel even more than cast iron. Please don’t tell me I’ve got to get rid of

Are hatherwood the ones who do Fursty Ferret? That’s a pretty good one

This whole thing with Mike Lynch absolutely reeks. His co-defendant was also hit by a car and killed last weekend?

Super shady

Hey nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg, on the web app I can no longer follow or unfollow people. Any idea what is wrong?

The rampant corruption in politics I believe comes from the deterioration of the importance of the family unit as an environment for formation.

Formation of critical thinking, ethics and morality have been outsourced to a faceless state (or private school) that at their heart are optimised for performance, not formation.

Feeling pretty sore after having a lump removed from my back yesterday. Nothing malignant thankfully but was causing some discomfort sat at a desk all day.

Now to not pop my stitches for 2 weeks

Thinking about #nostr and growth and how we can fall into the pitfalls of old school social media.

The likes of Facebook, Twitter, etc got to the size they did through unethical, addictive algorithms and backroom deals.

Nostr is not that. It’s organic and organic growth does not follow the trajectories of traditional social media.

We should be onboarding as many as we can but if they don’t hang around that’s fine.

Nostr shouldn’t need people chronically online to survive. It’s okay if people came back sporadically.

Value4value lies at the heart of this new age of social interaction online. When you’ve filled your cup, come and share it, let yourself be filled. When you need to take a step away, do it and come back when ready.

Started the Joe Pickett series by C. J. Box last week. Already on book 6, someone help I have 25 books in total to go before my brain will let me read anything else

GM #nostr, thinking through how our existence could probably be defined by the word “overextension”.

By overextension I mean we stretch things past their natural capacity.

We’ve overextend:

Money

Government

Food

Environment

Schools

Communities

Purpose

Humanity

Fitness

Entertainment

Family

Business

Am I advocating for degrowth? I guess I kind of am, centralisation is the scourge of humanity.

It’s ironic that my favourite show, Star Trek: TNG, shows a future of almost perfect bureaucratic bliss. If such a thing was possible it would be great.

"I feel I need a holiday, a very long holiday, as I have told you before…Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: Like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can’t be right. I need a change, or something.” - Fellowship of the Ring
