The opposite of globalist.

Ah, September. When walking under any tree results in a face-full of spider.

The outgoing US administration

GM. Trying to tear myself away from the downfall of the UK and do something productive with the morning. #nostr now more than ever, it would seem.

Short-covering for sure, but interesting bounce so far in the US equity markets - I do suspect crypto soaking up some of the liquidity pressure over the weekend is likely “helpful” in a way that didn’t exist until recently. I thought the ETFs would pummel it on open but Bitcoin off the weekend lows. Watching SOL too.

Bonne chance all those still playing in the fiat stock markets.

Oof.

Nice work! In a couple of years the ninja skills will be opening their door and stealthily avoiding the creaky floorboards to remove the stuffie/comfort blanket from their face.

I mean I had zero interest in the Olympics before, but now…. record low ratings wouldn’t surprise.

No blue screen of death on #nostr

Not a great outcome to be honest, the 1% have a habit of ending up under guillotines.

Hopefully we see broad adoption long before 2036!

Eating so much more butter now than prior to my red-pilling. Everything’s better with butter.

I’m at that stage of life where I wish Apple would add “gardening” and “housework” to the list of fitness activities on their watch.

4-year old reports on today’s preschool:

“Olive hurt my feelings!”

- Why?

“She wouldn’t let me see the ladybug under the locker!”

I love this age. I think 3-5 year olds are peak humanity: zero cynicism, fully engaged with the world, maximum curiosity, empathy (well, except for Olive).

Miners and $MSTR don’t believe in this #Bitcoin dip, it would seem.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that any optimistic call of “peak crazy” is doomed to be overrun within a month.

Business trip this week featuring four separate 737-800s and several nights in Baltimore. Prayers appreciated 🙏

Love this age. Smallest Localist is now four and it’s just a constant stream of observations and wonderment. Had an open gardens day yesterday in the village, and aside from the flowers and trees we got to see inside beehives and learn about beekeeping, and poke around in a hotrod restoration garage. Tough to drag him away!

Unexpected musical cross-over: Smashing Pumpkins cover U2’s Zoo Station. Works surprisingly well!

Nice to see Jimmy and James in the line-up here, too. Despite them being a staple through my college years I never actually got to a Pumpkins show, though was lucky enough to catch Corgan with Zwan in London, in 2003.

In SpaceX it would seem Elon has assembled one of the highest performing engineering teams humanity has ever seen. Everything that crops up on each flight test is ruthlessly pinned down and remediated. Just a joy to watch.
