Samson Mow @Excellion
Everywhere I look I see signs of the legacy system teetering on the brink of collapse. It’s incredible that #Bitcoin is still below $0.1M.
LUNA crashing to $0 in 1 day, exactly 2 years ago. A lasting reminder to #Bitcoin not crypto

Don’t work for a money someone else can create for free.
“What’s really going to bake your noodle later on is, when the government starts using #Bitcoin mixers too, to cover *their* tracks.”
David Marcus, co-founder and CEO of Lightspark, explains the future of global finance, where every company that transfers funds—essentially all businesses worldwide—will utilize Lightning and Bitcoin, either directly or indirectly. He envisions these technologies as the universal settlement layer, harmonizing the myriad real-time payment systems across the globe. Watch the full video to dive deeper into his insights:
Fed Reserve Bank CEO says, “Bitcoin has little practical use and is not an investment vehicle or currency.” Neel Kashkari is also ex Secretary of the Treasury and VP of Goldman Sachs.

Sichuan and Chongqing authorities said on Tuesday that 193 suspects across 26 Chinese provinces have been arrested as a result of the operation.

Tornado Cash Developer Found Guilty of Laundering $1.2 Billion of Crypto
Alexey Pertsev, cofounder of the crypto-anonymizing tool, has been sentenced to more than five years behind bars.
PRIVACY / BIDEN
Biden is waging war on privacy, but it turns out that not everyone in Washington takes this for a great idea.
“In 1991 Joe Biden introduced two bills containing anti-encryption language to prevent private emails:
the Comprehensive Counterterrorism Act and the Violent Crime Control Act
He had effectively declared war on math, but why?”

Walmart is doing something I call “ghost layoffs:” They’re telling remote workers to come back to the office. Some office workers need to relocate elsewhere. They know people will quit. But they don’t have to pay severance or get bad PR from layoffs. BTW Walmart’s profit last year was $15.5 billion, up 33% from the year prior.
A MILESTONE: THIS SENATE HAS NOW CONFIRMED 195 JUDGES SINCE PRESIDENT BIDEN TOOK OFFICE!
Merrick Garland dicked us.
Fake teeth, a shit ton of Adderall and a moron walk into a bar…
“God bless The United Scheazctz” Blow Monkey
Donald Trump gets all spun up on Adderall and probably tries to debate the guy who delivers his taco bowl. Look for the Candyman @RonnyJacksonTX to be nearby before the CNN debate if Trump doesn’t wimp out.

HEALTH
Today, based on evidence uncovered in @COVIDSelect’s recent report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commenced formal debarment proceedings against EcoHealth Alliance.
EcoHealth Alliance is a global nonprofit leading scientific research into the critical connections between human, animal and environmental health.
The Biden administration has suspended federal grants issued to EcoHealth Alliance, the infectious disease research group caught up in a controversy over its work in China, and plans to bar it from receiving future funding.
EcoHealth will now face an immediate, government-wide suspension of taxpayer funds — including a hold on all active grants.
EcoHealth Alliance provably defrauded the US government, provably breached contractual terns of US-government grants, and, through its wantonly reckless gain-of-function research in Wuhan, probably caused the COVID-19 pandemic, killing 20 million and costing $25 trillion. And Daszak in jail.
How a Ralph Nader disciple helped legitimize the Covid lab leak theory
PA Rep Zimmerman hanging out with NAR pastor Matt Kroll (who seems to know more about Lancaster’s bomb threats than our actual leadership…) Not surprising, of course.
It can be a challenge to find out who owns or manages a nursing home. ProPublica’s Nursing Home Inspect tool now lets you drill down into who is responsible for care in these facilities. propub.li/3R3zo1F
Today’s report makes it crystal clear: The outrageously high price of Wegovy and other weight loss drugs have the potential to bankrupt Medicare and our entire health care system. The reason? Greed. The United States government cannot allow that to happen.
@SenSanders
Today in America:
– Over 40% of kids have tooth decay by the time they reach kindergarten
– 20% of seniors are missing all their natural teeth and can’t afford a full set of dentures
– Nearly 50% of adults have some form of periodontal disease
Let’s get our priorities straight.
@RBReich
-The latest numbers show inflation cooling. But many still struggle with rent & gas prices — which contributed to 70% of April inflation. Just so happens that recent investigations have found evidence of price-fixing in both industries. High interest rates won’t fix that.
-Walmart announced hundreds of layoffs yesterday. But remember that the company has been hiking prices and raking in big profits. Its share prices hit a record high in March. The Walton family’s net worth reached $267 billion this year. Textbook corporate greed.
– Reagan’s repeal of the Fairness Doctrine created a breeding ground for fake news, conspiracy theories and anti-science sentiments. Plus Clarence’s wife Ginni had a voice participating in an attempt insurrection, hold her accountable judge!!!
Republicans talk a big game about cutting the deficit. Meanwhile, their plan to extend Trump’s tax giveaway to the rich would add another $4.6 TRILLION to the deficit.
#chatbotever created, dating back to 1966. It was created by Joseph Weizenbaum as an early experiment in #NLP. ELIZA is able to hold a conversation in English with a human & is programmed through a set of pattern matching rules to respond to the user in ways that are similar to how a psychotherapist would. Could 60s ELIZA be adapted to work as a web service that any application designed as an OpenAI client can use? Um, the answer is… Yes! But, Why would you do that?
Hey, read to find out…
