In a hotel restaurant enjoying my morning sencha, I can’t help but overhear the only other person there ask the Hungarian waiter if he had heard that Ukraine had managed to take the fight into Russia (presumably referring to their recent assault on Kursk)?
She sounded so excited, and clearly believed this was some sign that Ukraine was turning the tide of the war (which is exactly the PR effect Ukraine hoped to achieve). I found myself looking at her, just thinking how we are living in totally different universes. How, in the year 2024, could she still uncritically believe anything the news feeds her?
Then I went back to enjoying my tea and the beauty of the courtyard garden.

I could totally see you creating an amazing painting of this scene! It would very much suit your style 💜

It’s such a pretty surveillance state

In London atm and it really is beginning to feel like the dystopian London from V for Vendetta.
It's a jarring juxtaposition: all these beautiful buildings and gardens within the context of dystopian surveillance state that, if I understand Starmer correctly, is now using live AI facial recognition combined with more CCTV cameras per square km than anywhere else on earth.
I was listening to a bit of a Keir Starmer speech and it sounded almost exactly like high chancellor, Adam Sutler when he is ramping up surveillance and control to monitor dissident thought and capture V.
It’s as though these politicians have never seen a movie, or read a dystopian sci fi novel. They certainly have no sense of irony.

I’m not sure if Bitcoin has conditioned me to love volatility, or this was always part of my investing psychology

There is a soulful, haunting quality to Lizzy Paplinger's voice that lingers with me after I've listened.
MSMR was one of the innumerable indie pop bands that came out around the '08-14 period. And while most of them sound interchangeable (Marina, Charli XCX, Tove Lo...) and have these darker themes and moodiness, MSMR stands out as having a bit more substance.
It's a bummer they never broke out.

Looking at the history of US foreign policy, you have to wonder if they ever had the plot to begin with.

I'm convinced the venn diagram of people who say "bitcoins" and people who say "maths" is just a circle.

I can feel the beginnings of a second Nostr adoption wave forming. There is a new energy 💜

My favorite feature of the old twitter was lists - being able to curate my own subject-specific feeds.
I'd love to see this on Nostr. Especially with all the human rights activists joining, it would be great to be able to just create a list with all of their content.

I like to think @`Blockstream` has just put some seven year old in charge of zapping.

If I want to buy a car that isn't just a surveillance device on wheels, what are my options?
And how far back do I need to look? Should I be browsing the market for Rav4s from the 90s and then retrofit it with apple car play and better speakers?

Just drained my Phoenix wallet and they broadcast my tx at 12 sat/vb. Seemingly no way to fee bump.

HFSP...?
I'm joking. I'd just ressaure him that if he can't fee bump, that his tx will either confirm within the next week or so, or become spendable again in his wallet. His coins aren't lost in the ether, and the beauty of a bitcoin tx is that either the coins are with you or with the recipient. They can't get lost like a wire transfer.

Unfortunately I suspect Israel will strike back. They bombed Iran's consulate intentionally to expand the war and draw America in directly. This all seems highly calculated on their part.
