@EricLDaugh Great example of why fraud has gotten so bad. Politicians would rather pander to their base than make substantive steps to stomp it out.

🚨 BREAKING: In a moment of betrayal, Gov. Tim Walz pledges his ALLEGIANCE to “Somali Minnesotans” “We’ll never leave the side of Somali Minnesotans…your great grandchildren will be here when that orange clown is in the dustbin of history.” RESIGN! 🤡

@QANplatform After watching constant delays and changes in engagement strategy for six years now, I have near-zero confidence in your ability to competently, consistently, and coherently market this project on the retail side.

27 million developers globally. Fewer than 25,000 actively building on-chain. That is not a skills problem. It is an industry design problem. There is a bottleneck at the centre of one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and almost nobody talks about it seriously. 27 million active software developers globally. Roughly ONLY 25,000 of them actively building on-chain. That is not a skills gap. That is a design choice that became a wall and then became invisible because everyone got used to it. When Ethereum launched, Solidity made sense. Purpose-specific language, controlled execution environment, reduced attack surface for a novel paradigm. A reasonable call in 2015 for a team figuring out something nobody had built before. But then something happened that nobody planned for, the rest of the industry copied the constraint, not the reasoning behind it. New chain launches. New language requirement. Learn ours first, then build. So now a Java developer who has shipped production systems for a decade has to start from zero to put a smart contract on-chain. A Python developer who can build a trading algorithm in an afternoon cannot natively express that logic in a deployed contract without learning Solidity or hiring someone who knows it. Think about what that actually means. You are running an industry that says it wants to rebuild financial infrastructure, supply chains, identity systems, and the internet. And you have structured it so that only the developers who went out of their way to learn a niche language can participate. The best engineers in the world are not in Web3. Most of them looked at the onboarding wall and went back to building something else. This is the bottleneck nobody names. And it is entirely self-inflicted.

@nettermike Yes. @CAgovernor can kiss my ass. $527 to register a fucking 2019 truck.

Anyone else,in California seen their DMV registration fees gone up?

@ThomasSowell I had to turn my head upside down to read it.

Texas DMV warns Houston man his license plate is offensive when flipped, gives 30-day cancellation notice.

@ImMeme0 Concerned about healthcare cost as she eats a 12 pound tub of potato salad.

Woman just opened her new health insurance bill and couldn’t believe her eyes. She used to pay $122 a month. Starting January 1, 2026, her premium jumps to $853. That’s a 600% increase overnight. How are Americans supposed to survive this?

@laralogan My theory is this happened because people are dumbasses and like to believe we live in fairytale land.

Remember all those people who sold you the lie that the Taliban was new & improved? They are bastards.

“AI will lower healthcare costs.” Sure — for the insurance companies. The same for-profit model will still sit at the top, so all AI will really do is boost efficiency and profit margins — not lower your bill.

@MaryKayCabot Remind me again why this is an upgrade over the previous crappy play caller?

@GavinNewsom You're douchebag. Lower our taxes.

We won’t.

@Tim_Walz Your freakin' weird.

Americans don’t like what Trump is doing.

One of the most immediate and effective ways to save money is by evaluating your health insurance and taking a very hard look at high deductible plans w/HSA's. Premium savings + plan HSA contributions, usually more that offset higher annual deductible. Details below in link.

Me, when my kids got home from trick or treating with bags full of candy:

@GovPressOffice Lower our annual DVM fees and gas tax.
