Did you know? 2024’s calendar is identical to 1985’s. Each date lands on the same weekday. Talk about a retro year! #CalendarTwins #1985
Exactly 22 years ago, @adam3us published the Hashcash whitepaper describing the proof-of-work consensus mechanism, the heart and soul of the #Bitcoin network.
@SenSanders In the last 50 years, there has been a $50 trillion transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%.
$50 trillion.
When is “enough” really going to be “enough” for the billionaire class?
Kamala Harris once championed Medicare For All, our country’s best bet on a true universal health care system. Then she walked it back — way back. What happened?

The GOP is a kamikaze attack on the government. The goal is to prove America doesn’t work because they’re just a tool of oligarchs, theocrats, and enemy nation-states who see democracy as inconvenient. Kids going hungry is irrelevant to their calculus.

Donald Trump wants everyone to stop calling him and J.D. Vance “weird.”

BREAKING: The @USCPSC has determined Amazon is a “distributor” of products and legally responsible for recalling items that are defective or fail safety standards. They’ve been ordered to recall 400,000+ items including faulty carbon monoxide detectors, hair dryers & kids’ pjs.
Trump’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire US Department of Education K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted that is.
The Jan. 6 security tapes have a big surprise.
There is video of attorney Ken Chesebro & Trump campaign aide G. Michael Brown handing off fake GOP elector documents (from Wisconsin & Michigan) to aides of Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA – on Jan. 5.

Josh Hawley represents Missouri in the Senate but doesn’t have a bona fide residence there and hasn’t for years.
His Missouri “residence” is a lake house owned by his sister.
Hawley actually lives in Virginia — in violation of the Constitution.
Donald Trump is not just going to lose this election, but he’s going to lose it by so many votes, that they’ll have to create a better word than “landslide” to describe it.

White folks like Trump have believed they have the right to define who is “black” and who is not for at least 500 years. Trump trying to do it to Harris is nothing new.
What’s new is that white man’s definition doesn’t fucking matter, and that’s what pisses them off.

How an Elon Musk PAC is using voter data to help Trump beat Harris in 2024 election
NEW: Billionaire Elon Musk has created a PAC collecting voter data from those living in key states through an online “register to vote” form that does not directly register people to vote.
All of this in an effort to help Donald Trump become president. 2016 repeating! Remember Cambridge Analytica. Musk is literally recreating Cambridge Analytica and partnering with key figures from that social media disinformation campaign.
Is this legal?
Musk’s “America PAC” is running ads telling people it will help them register to vote.
But if they live in a swing state, it collects their address, cell phone number, and age, and then tells them thank you.
It never registers them; only harvests their data.

He talked about electric cars. I don’t know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don’t know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard anyone say, so when people say he’s a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Morgan Stanley tells wealth advisors they can pitch bitcoin ETFs in a first for a big bank
Morgan Stanley on Friday told its army of financial advisors that it will soon allow them to offer bitcoin ETFs to some clients, a first among major Wall Street banks, CNBC has learned.
The firm’s 15,000 or so financial advisors can solicit eligible clients to purchase shares of two exchange-traded bitcoin funds starting Aug. 7, according to people with knowledge of the policy.
Those funds are BlackRock’s IShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, the people said.
@Ripple says it will allocate $10 million in tokenized U.S. Treasury bills on the XRP Ledger, marking the first issuance of such tokens on the network. 1/ We are delighted to announce our tokenized US Treasury bills ($TBILL) are now supported on the XRP Ledger (XRPL)!
TBILL tokens are now accessible by our app by qualified XRPL users who are accredited and institutional investors, via stablecoins including the upcoming Ripple
News alert – tokenization platform @OpenEden_Labs is bringing tokenized US Treasury bills (T-bills) to the #XRPL! What’s more, Ripple is creating a fund to invest in tokenized T-bills, and will allocate USD$10M to OpenEden’s TBILL tokens as part of it. https://t.co/8GsG1Mk3ER— RippleX (@RippleXDev) August 1, 2024
There are big players involved. In March, BlackRock, the world’s largest fund manager by assets under management, released its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund on the Ethereum blockchain, backing it with U.S. Treasury bills, repo agreements and cash.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!
