It seems to me like a lot of people haven't followed the details of why folks have issues with Substack, and basically assume that leaving the platform for moral or social reasons just automatically means giving up money.
But I don't think that's supported by the actual math.
Every "I figured out who Satoshi is" thing, documentary or written, begins with some version of "I was watching this bitcoin doc and this one guy seemed strange to me."
Oh, someone in crypto seemed evasive and awkward? tell me more, sherlock.
Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here
he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor
and still, they threw him out
and you know what? they did it by voting
don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter
mild take:
we're watching silicon valley get very excited about their tools in the same way a guy with a huge wall of ryobi stuff thinks his collection is more important than what he does with the tools
Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️⚧️🫂🫶

You gotta be fuckin kidding me
That was an amazing fake. I replayed it 3 times to see how he did it.
Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
Open bribery by a foreign leader. The exact scenario that the Founders feared.
"no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State"
This, my friends, is the one.

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed.
"Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

Grew up nearby and yep, we lost all of Will Rogers but much of the bottom of Rustic Canyon somehow survived.
I was literally trying to figure out the right search to inform me as to why it's going on. They're not amateur!
There was a sequel! I died:

Sadly in the final act, Chekov gets fired
If they make another Star Trek movie, can we have James Gunn direct it? Not because of his directorial skills; I just think it’s about time a narrative included Gunn’s Chekov.
Dammit.

TIRED: “learn to code!”

Now you get to watch it again and catch all the stuff going on in the background early that comes up again later 😆
I told you we’d be back
Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.
What an unbelievable asshole.
ooooo that's nice canework.
This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.
