Madonna of Milk Enthroned with Child, by Jean Fouquet, 1452-55 (flipped)

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@xxthegnar @business Doesn't change the protocol, the encryption, the game theory

@leojohnhenry @business It would if price is manipulated by a select few

Iran has started a Bitcoin-backed insurance service for shipping companies that want to transit the Strait of Hormuz, the semi-official Fars news agency reported bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@xxthegnar @business Wait until you understand how even if that were true it wouldn't matter

@business Wait until they figure out the NSA created Bitcoin

@celestialbe1ng Idk lactase non-persistence is a real thing. Ironically for the ray Peat viewpoint, what makes milk digestible for people who aren't lactase persistent is a trained microbiome, particularly in the large intestine.

You aren’t lactose intolerant. You’re hypothyroid, stressed, inflamed, low progesterone, low CO2, running on stress hormones and your digestion is shutting down. My 10-year “lactose intolerance” disappeared within 2 weeks of taking thyroid hormones + Progest-E. Went from agony after one sip of milk to tolerating unlimited amounts of any kind effortlessly. Milk isn’t the problem, low metabolic energy is. Easy fixes, and really important since milk truly is the perfect, protectiveness anti-ageing food (raw or pasteurised).

My 3 yo put a dried apricot in my water bottle and I didn’t notice, took a sip in the middle of the night and it tasted so weird, shined my flashlight in there, the apricot had rehydrated and was like a perfectly round glowing testicle in the bottom of my water bottle. Horrific

Some thoughts on the Clarity Act ahead of today’s markup. The PATRIOT Act provisions continue to remain in place in the text that will be debated today – including the creation of special measures that could drastically restrict privacy services in the US. The BRCA is good on paper to solidify FinCEN guidance into law – but it explicitly exempts developers from protection under the very statute both Roman Storm and the Samourai Wallet developers have been convicted of: A statute which too stems from the PATRIOT Act, originally designed to target non-traditional banking networks such as Hawala. While now tied to “specific intent” (good), this exemption effectively continues to criminalize the known “transmission” of illicit proceeds, whereas the interpretation of “specific intent” would be up to the courts and law enforcement (bad). There’s also been a lot of fuss over the 40 amendments Sen Warren has filed, the most interesting one being the expansion of the BSA to cover digital assets, which would bring full KYC/AML to non-custodial software. Warren is not the only one that submitted such an amendment, and it also doesn’t come from nowhere: Last year, the White House tasked Congress to consider passing exactly such an expansion in its Digital Assets Report. I’m aware that everyone is excited for this bill to pass, but I genuinely have trouble understanding why. You get what you ask for I guess.

@NoahRyanCo Philly cheesesteak

Your physique would be way sicker if you stopped covering your fats with carbs and your carbs with fats. High carb meal or high fat meal. Never high fat & high carb meal. Ratio should be 80/20 either way.

@anishmoonka looks wildly boring

Christopher Nolan asked IMAX to build him a new camera. They did. Then he and Matt Damon spent four months filming The Odyssey on the open ocean, on the largest modern Viking longship in the world, with no green screens at all. The shoot ran 91 days, from late February to August 2025. Seven countries: Morocco, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Scotland, Western Sahara, and Malta. Aside from one indoor studio in Los Angeles, every shot was filmed on real ground. In Italy, the cast and crew climbed 900 feet up a mountain every morning. Imagine walking up a 60-story building before breakfast. In Iceland, they filmed the underworld scenes by lantern light while rain came at them sideways. The four months at sea actually happened at sea. Damon and the actors playing his crew sailed on a real ship called the Draken Harald Hårfagre, used here as a Greek warship. Nolan called the experience "primal." He said the cast and crew were exhausted in a way he had never seen before. The cameras were the other big problem. IMAX cameras have always been too loud to record clean dialogue, which is why directors mostly save them for big action scenes. Nolan asked IMAX to fix this. They engineered a new soundproof case for the camera, a kind of quiet jacket, that lets the lens get within a foot of an actor's face while they whisper and still pick up clean audio. The new cameras also came out lighter and about 30% quieter than the old ones. To prove it worked, the lead cameraman Hoyte van Hoytema filmed a tight close-up of a child reciting a David Bowie song, "Sound and Vision." Nolan watched the test and called it "electrifying." Damon went all-in on the role. He dropped to 167 pounds on a strict no-gluten diet. He grew a real beard for a full year because Nolan refused to allow a fake one. The crew built a full-scale wooden Trojan Horse and shot the attack scene at an ancient walled town in Morocco called Aït Benhaddou. Nolan himself climbed inside the horse with the cast and his cameraman to get the shot. Across the whole shoot they used 2 million feet of film. That comes out to around 380 miles of it, longer than the drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco. At about $1.50 a foot, they spent roughly $3 million just on the film itself. The full budget was $250 million, the biggest of Nolan's career. They wrapped nine days ahead of schedule. Tickets went on sale on July 17, 2025, exactly one year before the movie's release. That had never been done before in cinema history. Half of the 22 US theaters offering IMAX 70mm sold out within 12 hours, bringing in around $1.5 million in a single morning. Nolan called the shoot "an absolute nightmare to film, but in all the right ways." He did not destroy a single IMAX camera. He has wrecked several over his career.

@L0laL33tz hope he gets major boos

The Bitcoin Conference is now officially laundering the reputations of US law enforcement. Not only has the Trump administration prosecuted more developers than any administration in history. Todd Blanche's SDNY is *actively arguing* that *code is NOT speech* in its case against Roman Storm. Let me cite for you exactly what Todd Blanche's SDNY is saying on "Code as Free Speech": "The premise of Storm's argument—that he is being prosecuted for expressive conduct—is simply wrong. This prosecution and the evidence at trial related to the function of the computer code that operated Tornado Cash." TLDR, according to Blanche's SDNY, code is not, in fact, "free speech," for the simple fact that it does something. It is an absolute *disgrace* that this man is allowed to take the stage and blatantly lie into the faces of all attendants, while his underlings are putting people in prison for writing software. Boycott this bullshit immediately, and tell Todd Blanche to free our developers. therage.co/tornado-cash-o…

@SolBrah @80MR0X2 The microbiome is much more resilient than you think. The appendix repopulates the gut with the right bacteria when it has been depleted.

@80MR0X2 It’s not mundane you are negative impacting your body’s microbiome Prove that “Lyme disease” exists first Health is multi factorial and yet also simple, it’s not as easy as “take this pill that kills things to fix”

Don’t nuke your body with toxic antibiotics because of a bug >get sick after poisoning yourself Omg it was the bug!

The next administration needs to pass a law that expands and protects every square inch of the National Park System and kneecaps future administrations from being able to sell any of it off. This is a 90-10 issue.

@Leishman @River Debit card

At @River we’ve been building towards Bitcoin-native banking for seven years and it’s starting to all come together! We appreciate the enthusiasm and requests for more features. Check deposit and writing are something we are exploring. What else would you like to see us build?

@River I would do it if you had a debit card.

Bitcoiners have waited years to ditch their bank. Now you finally can.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Tweets should be scarce!

For 5000 years, people have agreed: 3000 BC: Money should be scarce. 2000 BC: Money should be scarce. 1000 BC: Money should be scarce. 0: Money should be scarce. 1000: Money should be scarce. 1500: Money should be scarce. 1900: Money should be scarce. 1914-1970: Ok but what if it’s not. 1971: Money is what the gov says it is. 1990: Financialize all the things. 2008: Oops maybe not. 2009: Money should be scarce -> Bitcoin. 2010-2019: Bitcoin makes no sense. 2020: Money printer go brrrr. 2021: Wait maybe bitcoin makes sense. 2025: Money should be scarce. A currency that can be infinitely printed by a government is an anomaly. You don’t have to accept it, opt out with bitcoin.

@atmoio Excellent tweet!

Claude Mythos is Delusional

@_whitneywebb Get em Whitney!

Who cares. You now defend glyphosate after campaigning against it as a nefarious poison for years. You claimed to defend children's health but then defended the mass murder, maiming and starvation of multitudes of children in Gaza. You once railed against mass surveillance and the militarization of healthcare but now market surveillance wearables as essential to American "health" and are still letting military/intelligence contractor Palantir run all of HHS' data. You have absolutely zero credibility and are a salesman for what you once claimed to hate.

@IDF you are the real terrorists

‼️ In 10 minutes, the IDF completed the largest coordinated strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion. The strike targeted 100+ Hezbollah headquarters, military arrays, & command-and-control centers in Beirut, Beqaa and southern Lebanon, including: • Intelligence command centers and central headquarters used planning terror attacks • Infrastructure of firepower and naval arrays, responsible for launching missiles • Assets of the Radwan Force, & the Aerial unit—Hezbollah's elite units.

@nytimes This is so funny.

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. nyti.ms/4bXWC3V
