@hunterwalk with the money Elon Musk spent to buy twitter shares, he could have given every American family $100,000 and still had enough left over to cancel all student debt.

#Bitcoin adoption is doubling every year.

@SenLummis calls the Federal Reserve a “Lawless Organization.”

“We haven’t seen significant evasion through crypto so far but we’ll monitor carefully to make sure this isn’t a major avenue for evasion,” @SecYellen told @RepJoshG during a @FSCDems @FinancialCmte hearing  on sanctions evasion using crypto.

To call Bitcoin a Ponzi is an insult to Ponzi schemes. While some funds from Madoff’s fraud have been returned to investors, Bitcoin holders won’t be able to recover any funds because there’s nothing there to recoup. And even if there was, who would they phone for help? Miners?

Interview with Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy on Bitcoin
Just as Hal Finney Predicted, Bitcoin Is Being Purchased to Act as a Reserve Currency

Welcome to Satoshi Island

@ExcellionThe #LightningNetwork has a theoretical throughput of 40 million #TPS. That’s the equivalent of 14.4 TB size blocks every 10 min. Lightning enables #Bitcoin to be a planetary scale decentralized medium of exchange.
Lightning Labs raises $70 MILLION to build a stablecoin and asset protocol on #Bitcoin

The 19th million #bitcoin has just been mined. 90.47% of supply is in circulation.

Michael Saylor⚡️ on Twitter: “#Bitcoin represents the great exodus of capital from analog assets in physical space to digital energy.

~Elon Musk bought $1.5 billion worth of #bitcoin and the code remains unchanged after a year.
~Elon Musk bought $3 billion worth of Twitter and the code is changing after a week.
~In case the difference wasn’t clear to you.

If you don’t know Shannon, aspects of almost everything about the modern digital era can be traced to his work, particularly his seminal work on information theory he casually mentioned at the end of that letter.

Noam Chomsky, speaks about Brexit, the war in Ukraine and the return of Donald Trump.
On the war in Ukraine: “It’s monstrous for Ukraine…Why did he do it? There are two ways of looking at this question. One way, the fashionable way in the West, is to plumb the recesses of Putin’s twisted mind and try to determine what’s happening in his deep psyche.”
On Trump’s return: “I remember listening to Hitler’s speeches on the radio. I didn’t understand the words…but I understood the mood. And it was frightening and terrifying. And when you watch one of Trump’s rallies that can’t fail to come to mind. That’s what we’re facing.”

  1. Why does Clarence Thomas get to sit on cases about keeping January 6th documents secret when his wife shows up in January 6th documents?
  2. Remember when Rudy ran a shadow foreign policy which resulted in the ouster of our Ambassador to Ukraine in a hurry?
    Remember when the FBI raided Rudy’s home and office?
    Remember Rudy tried to orchestrate the overthrow of our election with baseless challenges?
    Why is Rudy free?

And just like that, the Ginni Thomas story has been buried …

To see the FULL video from this 1986 cult member support group conference, you can see that on my YouTube channel here (Ginni Thomas appears at the 17:30 mark)
For more on Ginni Thomas’ time in a cult, her cult activism in the 80s, and her turn to right-wing causes, this washingtonpost article from 1991 is surprisingly thorough.

Democrats in the U.S. Congress proposed a raft of new rules for the federal judiciary including a formal mechanism to remove judges from hearing cases in the event of a conflict of interest and another intended to reduce secret court filings.

Who’s Behind the Okta Hack?
EVEN IF YOU aren’t familiar with Okta, you’ve probably used it. The digital login system is used by thousands of companies across the world to manage employee logins to various cloud services. Which makes it a real problem when that system, and all that login info, gets hacked.
This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED senior writer Lily Hay Newman joins the show to tell us about the group behind the recent Okta hack, how the hackers took control of such a vast system, and what happened in the aftermath.

In many tapped phone calls between Russian soldiers and their relatives (Russians steal UKR mobile phones, use them, SBU taps) they tell same story: how rich Ukraine is, how much they have looted, and how cool people lived here. Some saw asphalt and street lights for the fist time.

What is the point of mainstream media?

MSNBC–I don’t care about President Biden’s approval ratings. I care that he is getting things done, like climate investments, the greatest year of job creation in American history, expanded access to health care, and the lowest child poverty rate ever in 2021.

“Not walking anything back — I was expressing my moral outrage.” Biden on Putin

Bravo!

If we don’t lock him up, Trump is going to keep having rallies, keep spreading lies, and keep trying to undermine democracy until something even worse than January 6th happens.

The ruling against Trump lawyer John Eastman is perhaps the first time ever that a federal court has found a president may have committed a crime while in office — and raises the stakes for DOJ.

A federal judge just ruled that Trump and John Eastman, a lawyer who advised him on how to overturn the 2020 election, most likely committed felonies including obstructing Congress and defrauding the United States

  • Rand Paul is blocking trade sanctions on Russia that passed the House 424-8. In unrelated news, a former Rand Paul aide, pardoned by Trump, has been charged with funneling Russian money into the 2016 election. John McCain said this about Rand Paul 5 years ago: “The Senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”

    Littlefeather also did it to bring attention to protestors at Wounded Knee.
    Today you can support the launch of #PeopleVsFossilFuels in DC, a call to action for President Biden to honor treaties with Native Americans and save our climate.
    Sasheen Littlefeather gave a memorable non-acceptance speech on behalf of Marlon Brando at the 1973 Oscars. Boycotting the award was his response to a 10 week siege at Pine Ridge reservation at Wounded Knee, SD over a corrupt tribal leader and unkept U.S. gov’t. treaty promises.

    A simultaneous 30°C anomaly in the Arctic and 40°C anomaly in the Antarctic, among the most terrifying events scientists have recorded, was a footnote in the bulletins.
    One celeb slapping another: headlines everywhere.
    This is the way the world ends.

    Will Smith was wrong. Full stop. You can protect your wife against words without physically attacking a comedian. The long walk it took to get to the stage should have woken him up. Assaulting people is never ever the fix. Heartbroken that he polluted his win for eternity. ~ Joyce Davis

    Some dude smacking a guy who insulted his wife isn’t a politically significant event that offers any meaningful insight into the present state of American society. ~ anon

    In America, a comedian on stage has a right to make offensive jokes about your wife. And you have a right to get angry and, after the fact, speak out against/protest that comedian. You do not have a right to physically assault that comedian. ~ anon

    Ginny Thomas

  • So anyway, the most important thing about Will Smith is that the wife of a Supreme Court Justice was pushing batshit conspiracy theories and actively working with the White House in an attempt to overthrow an election.
