I am as sympathetic to Amanda (ex regulator)'s POV as it is possible to get in crypto, and so, I don't want her to get into legal trouble for this tweet (that would be lawfare)

instead I would like her to reflect on her boss, Gensler going after Uniswap for years while SBF got private meetings

begging bluesky never to listen to ed zitron about literally any AI related content, but especially not when he decides to talk about how they can't possibly raise enough money inside the biggest bubble to hit the world in 25+ years

for the record, there is no way to win back the Trump-voting working class, because their votes for him are a feature not a bug and trying to rush right a la Labour will get you nowhere

you win by convincing the dumbest 10% of voters in america you feel their pain while never saying any specifics

congratulations to r/buttcoin for holding onto their views in the face of overwhelming evidence of a successful meme for the fourth consecutive cycle

you may not be rich, but you'll have more content than ever on the way back down, and that's more important than money

the infuriating thing about stuff like the Israeli pager hack is that they have the capability to literally blow up the dick of everyone in a massive terrorist organization - an 007 style genius move - but mostly use it to rain missiles down on a bunch of tents with kids inside, instead

new personal ranking of each veep pick: what ethnic or sexual slur Trump calls them and the amount of potential backlash it causes

Shapiro and Buttigieg now firmly S tier picks, imo

-Kamala is up
-Buttigieg is the veep pick

"usually the absolute worst but this one time he saved the day at the absolute last second" but it's a whole career

alternate joke: improved from the absolute worst and is now aggressively mediocre but will never ever win the starting job vs any competition

While my mind wandered (as it does) a pop-up in my Outlook demanded my attention. In draft of an email a word was underlined in red (it was “catalog”). Pop-up suggested I should right click the word for a suggestion. I curiously right clicked. „No suggestion!“. Got trolled by Outlook, hows your day?
