They say Los Angeles is dead.
but I walk outside every morning
and feel the sun hit my face, hear the metal clank as shop doors open, watch the meter men crawl for the governments coins, politely nod to the unhoused pulling themselves out of their makeshift homes
me and my good ol’ dog
he’s not really after the walks these days
he’s just like the rest of us
looking for his slice of scraps from the street
this isn’t the hills or the canyons where people step out to be seen
the city lives downtown
it’s all right there
down to every detail
the button factory
the flower market
all one glance away from a blue sky
and a mountain escape
and if the hums really get you down your palette cleanser is a quick motorcycle ride to the ocean
now if I could only get the damn thing to start.

Watching so many peers optimize for impressions replying to every post with the same slop as the bots they claim to hate.
My gut says do opposite.
Lean further into the cult, the few.
How quickly we forget the oldest creative shackle: “You’ll get paid in exposure.”
That’s exactly why many of us came here.
Why we planted our flag on Ethereum.
Crypto Art.

When collecting this artwork, I set an intention to mint a work that was deeply personal and meaningful.
This work is #949. My uncle recently passed away. He lived in 949 area code and was the coolest gay uncle a guy could ask for. I see Bob in this work. I can hear him chuckling and making lewd comments about all the dick sizes.
Thank you @jeffgdavis @artblocks_io for this opportunity to connect with family on a quantum level

Hot topic: Tracing, plagiarism, who copied who.
And honestly? We’re handling it the wrong way.
If we want a healthier ecosystem, we need to shift from public punishment to private resolution + community education.
Witch-hunts don’t solve anything, they just create fear, mental damage, and endless cycles of outrage. I did this mistake once myself and regret it!
Here’s the reality:
Copyright is not universal.
A traced piece can be fair use in the US, illegal in the EU, and completely unacceptable in Korea, all at the same time.
When you sell an NFT internationally, you don’t magically fall into one clear legal system. You fall into several overlapping ones.
So what are we even “enforcing” when we accuse someone publicly?
Whose standard? Which law? Which country?
That’s why public call-outs rarely achieve real justice. They create noise, not clarity.
Shame, not understanding.
My opinion:
The best way forward is a three-part approach:
1) Educate first
Most artists genuinely don’t understand how different copyright is across the world.
We should teach referencing etiquette, explain what “transformative” means, and show how to avoid copying too closely.
Knowledge creates accountability, not mob pressure. Most artists may not have the sufficient knowledge and mean not bad.
2) Resolve issues privately whenever possible
If you believe someone crossed a line, write them directly.
Give them a chance to explain.
Give them a chance to fix it.
99% of situations don’t need a public spectacle.
3) Reserve public action for clear, repeated, intentional theft
1:1 copies.
No transformation.
Pattern of exploitation.
Same artist doing it again and again.
Those cases exist and those deserve public visibility, because they actively harm the ecosystem.
But everything else?
The grey areas, the references, the borderline cases, the misunderstandings, those are better solved with conversations, not crusades.
Because when the line is blurry, “justice by timeline” turns into bullying more often than protection.
Web3 needs less hunting and more teaching.
Less judgment and more clarity.
Less mob energy and more actual structure.
If we want to grow as a space, we should aim to guide people, not destroy them.
