WGA strike continues. SAG strike pushed to July 12. Hollywood is being shown how obsolete it is. Studios use to be scared of strikes. Now they welcome it. It’s a cleanse. DEI leaders getting purged. The hole industry is rotten to the core.
Independent content on the rise.

Operating a business on a Bitcoin standard has been on my mind for some time. Most of it has just been nerves than anything else.
As it so happens... We "lost" our fiat business banking debit card. Bill are due. Taking the leap, we start paying our bills with Bitcoin.
@TheBTCco was the weapon of choice.
We took it one bill at a time, testing as we go, until we were able to pay ALL our company bills in Bitcoin.
I know it sounds pretty small... and maybe kinda dumb... but as a business that's not even in the Bitcoin "space"; being able to do this was really something.
We're on a mission to move off fiat, as a business entirely now.
Clip Studio Paint, Affinity Photo + Design, Blender, Logic Pro and Da Vinci Resolve 18.
All of them are one time purchases and/or also Open Source too.
After much consideration... I'm ditching Adobe. There's better alternatives out there and paying for subscriptions suck.
I would like to thank @TheBtc for making it easy for businesses to pay their bills with #Bitcoin.
Adobe rejects prepaid.
Mempool looking nice today!
If there was a way for Adobe to accept Bitcoin for a bill payment, or if nostr:npub18tcc00lqpysdsurg567dllzg7jeyr5wcyk2v6w23rx3s3ygyze2qv32nxx could snag some Adobe gift card payments, that would be absolutely awesome for creative businesses.

Went with a friend to a local coin shop. He was looking to sell some gold coins to buy a new laptop.
Shop was dead.
Friend tried to sell his BU American Gold Buffalo. Couldn’t even get spot price. Owner said it’s too much of a risk to hold right now.
Had a sit down with the owner. He wasn’t so thrilled. Complained that because rate hikes, gold and silver sales down. People selling and moving cash to CDs…
Hate to say it… but PMs are definitely trending lower. Even the shop owner didn’t want to carry…
Told bud better to just sell now and buy what he was gonna buy. That or buy bitcoin and forego his laptop.
Nostr platforms would benefit from a gif button.
Sold out!
