Low time preference. Here for the Nostr buildout.

If I told you the LA fires were in 2025, would you believe me?

Tried to zap you but you have to set up your wallet

Why didn’t anyone tell Trump he’s supposed to die before putting his name on a memorial?

Fuck your shitcoin

A Syrian immigrant heroically defused the mass shooting of a Jewish crowd. If that doesn’t give people a little bit of faith in humanity, maybe nothing will.

The four year cycle might be over but the four year cycle of ignorant and tired arguments against bitcoin isn’t.

It was evil to kill a man for his speech. It was evil to take a father away from his children. No doubt.

But please be honest about who Charlie Kirk was. He perhaps exceptional at political organizing. He was a great speaker. But how much bravery does it take when you’re on top? His political party has been winning most of the time since he started Turning Point. He was riding a wave of success.

Charlie believed in a very conservative vision for America and he punched down on the minority groups that disagreed with him. He grew up well off and did not face personal struggles. He idolized Rush Limbaugh and was deploying the same playbook - make edgy, outrageous statements to rage bait your enemies and build a following for it. That’s not courage IMHO.

Courage is having the humility to walk in other people’s shoes. Courage is holding your own side to account when they are wrong.

This is a military-grade sniper shot. I’ve target shot with a .223 before and a 200 yard single shot of a non stationary target is very very difficult.

Quite chilling to see that figure pop up and run away on that roof line.

Let’s not forget that Charlie Kirk was one of the conservative voices putting pressure on Trump to release the Epstein files.

Much more pressure than any democrat could apply, since Kirk had MAGA’s ears.

Love Nostr on open water bitcoin days

It’s more that it hasn’t improved on pace with other AI image generation.

It turns out, every bitcoiner’s favorite authoritarian Nayib Bukele had a deal with MS-13 to quell violence and to secure him votes in the areas of El Salvador under their control.

And part of Bukele’s deal with Trump to accept deportations included the high level MS-13 members on trial in the US that may have ratted him out as part of their testimony in court.

But those court cases have been dropped in the US now that those individuals have been returned to El Salvador’s prisons.

Yes, but I think there are even bigger obstacles.

- Overall lack of education about Bitcoin and the conflation with crypto shitcoins by the media and most of Congress.

- Inherent conflict of interest for the US government and their incentive to keep the world on a $USD standard

- Distracting culture wars and other political issues that take up all of the oxygen in the room
