The builders are the folks who make the most difference, but understanding the ethos and using the technology the way it is intended has value as well.

At first glance, I thought this was going to be about Sam Bankman-Fried.

Own yourself ... or be owned.

I had a little talk with ChatGPT about what car I need.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Political violence has no place in our country.

I've earned a PBA-X certification from the Polkadot Blockchain Academy. I know things.

I consume a fraction of the podcasts I'm interested in. I too would love a bit more personal education time.

Forward Turns 3! Not Left. Not Right. Forward.

We will soon be a 3-year-old. Like other 3-year-old’s, we’ve got tons of energy.

But we aren’t using that energy to give our parents a nonstop run for their money. We’re using it to build competition for those who try to bury it.

Golly, Jerome Powell is stoic AF.

Hit my goal of a 1,000 day Duolingo steak.

Bitcoin kicked off the first-generation of blockchain networks. A completely revolutionary idea.

Ethereum was the first second-generation blockchain network which functions as a world computer.

Polkadot provides a third-generation blockchain network, a new paradigm.

Welcome to the next level.

Cryptocurrency isn't the thing that's important.

Decentralization is the important thing.

Bitcoin is decentralized money.

I'm pretty sure this person doesn't understand Bitcoin.

None of us are responsible for what happened to us, but we're all responsible for our own healing. Trauma can explain our actions, but it never excuses our actions.

Idea: Corporate Happiness Tax

We have an annual "how happy are you" vote for all Americans. If the average of the country is a perfect score, zero happiness tax! But as the score gets lower, happiness taxes on corporations goes up and up. At 1, it's a pretty huge tax.

Bonus: Taxes => #UBI

Democrats cannot complain about Trump’s authoritarianism while ignoring their own constitutional responsibility regarding taking the country to war. Democrats must support Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution.

The U.S. must not get involved in Netanyahu’s war.

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran.

Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

NGL, sometimes it's tempting to play along with the spam msgs I get from random accounts with photos of beautiful women. It's not the beautiful pics that get me, but the unusual experience of getting random kind messages. It's just so unrealistic, but sometimes I want to believe...

Every thinking person fears nuclear war, and every technological state plans for it. Everyone knows it is madness, and every nation has an excuse.

This is a real tweet and two huge stories in one: Trump being in the Epstein files may be overshadowed by what a disingenuous dipshit Elon is to have kept this private only until they had a falling out. He was fine with Trump being on the pedophile's list as long as their relationship served him

A quick chat with ChatGPT confirms what you said about the number of Palestinian Americans. The robot also says that the demographic that didn't vote blue was also disproportionately Arab and Muslim.

As far as I understand, the people who didn't vote with the dems due to their stance on war on Gaza were largely Palestinian Americans. I suppose "pro-Palestinian" would be more accurate. Or even "anti genocide" for that matter.

you do realize the zoomed out view is your point of view in this context, yes?

Yes, I understand how it may sound this way to you. But within the context of a single company, it is still a statistical anomaly which may matter in court. One must view this in a global context to derive the point of view you're taking. The contention is which context matters legally.

The article has been updated and says that everyone promoted was LGBQT. Based on what you yourself pointed out about a small percentage of the population identifying as LGBQT, do you realize what a statistical anomaly it is for for multiple promotions to solely go to LGBQT people?

In that case, I just don't know the details of "what is presented" well enough to argue against that point and this is certainly not a hill I wish to die on.
