Thanks to the one who sent sweets today (10 hours ago)!

I'm waiting right now for the vet. She's doing better ... last night & this morning. I have my own theory & it seems like the most likely. I just don't see this being "the worst". You know. ❤️ Hope✨🐾 We'll see. 🥹Thank you, Mallory. Very much! 🤍🫂

Nostr Log Day 40:

Kind of rough day. Or month or whatever time frame. No matter how many times I go through the loss of an animal it sucks.

No matter how jaded a protective facade I put up.

Better check my vibe.

At least the sky is still blue.

Just dropped off Mosha at the vet, she will be going in soon for her surgery. Now the long wait to hear how it went. Good luck doggo 💜🫂🐕

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

I keep watching all this market stuff and thinking, "guys slow down, let me get my book out first, thanks"

good morning, the passion of this community keeps me going

we must push forward, there is no mission more important than bitcoin and freedom tech
