We ate cheesesteaks, watched sports, and talked about all things Philadelphia.
@HeadofApe was in his element.
Made some new friends.
IRL for the win.

@jbondwagon @elraart “doing in for years” in the same way 50 year olds currently wear “trendy beards” and tight pants. there’s big “dad joke energy” from the age and demographic of the average CT scenester, and copy pasta 2026 is the ick

RE: the viral leaving the NFT space copy pasta
First of all, I’d like to apologize to @elraart. I didn’t start the copy pasta trend of your post but I jumped on it. I also want to say I understand you & I wish you all the best
However, I want to make a point about copy pasta 🍝
I’m well aware that copy pasta is part of CT culture, much like GM. People in CT have been doing it for years to whatever trending post there is. And yes, I guess you can now say that this is part of what’s wrong in this space, much like how X viewed GMs
Please do know that most people jumping on this copy pasta train meant no harm and no mockery. It’s really just a playful repost of a viral post
However, I know that we could have been more sensitive. And for that, I apologize. Please know that I didn’t mean to mock you, @elraart

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him.
He did not stop.
Then one stranger got up and joined him.
Then another.
Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field.
Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world."
The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them.
Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering.
You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored.
Homer does something far stranger.
Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them.
They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs.
So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits.
Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right.
Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him.
Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads.
In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is.
What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it.
It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Time to think a bit I bet.

Really happy to announce my pick for the 2nd amazing NFT collection that I feel does not got the full recognition it deserves. Wanted to show my support by acquiring this grail of the death and taxes ecosystem today. For those not familiar, D&T is a new art and social experiment by brilliant pseudonymous artist, @m0dest___ . It is the most ruthless onchain survival game in Web3. 6,969 citizens. A daily inflating tax. You either pay the protocol, or you evade - and risk other players auditing and burning your token forever.
The final 69 survivors split what could be a massive treasury fueled by 93% of all taxes, fees, and royalties.
With Homer now safe in my vault, if somehow I survive to the end of the game, I will donate all awards to our local Boys & Girls Club in Owego NY.
Finally, I will be buying 5 NFTS off the floor of this project this week and will give them to collectors who are interested in this project but might find themselves a little tight on cash at this time.

@crypto_cuba19 the pfp space seems extra-saturated with high volume, low quality projects imo
i get the instant gratification appeal, but strongly favor art based projects as i consider finally actually trading my own capital for some jpg in the near future
