To become Fire is the End of Man. We're drawn towards it inexorably. We will all burn, one way or another. Present yourself.

One of the worst things about the organizational space on “the right” (campaigns, media, activism) is how low expectations are. It’s embarrassing if not disgusting.

@SEdburg @AdrielTweets @nateshurden @joel_stclair Haven’t read every word but I think it would be useful based on what I’ve seen!

A true highlight and gift to the assembly is the work completed by the DFW committee. This committee has produced a unifying DFW. Let us rally around it to complete this legacy project to the honor and glory of Christ. @AdrielTweets @nateshurden @joel_stclair

A big upgrade in life was getting out of this exact mindset. Replace it with gratitude towards God. Now my tents have been enlarged, and I get to work on some pretty cool stuff.

The Persistent Memory Arena upgrade went live last night! - 20x less memory used at steady-state (2GB) - 600ms latency per event reduced to 4ms

@RFBWCF @ryanburge @ReformTheoSem Most of the PCA is whistling past the graveyard.

This must be contemplating the one RTS campus versus the whole system. No way @ryanburge’s data is correct re: @ReformTheoSem.

I'm backing $NOCK from @D4V3T05H1 on @novadotmarkets. app.nova.markets/thesis/196

@crwiley1962 If you can hear it, the smugness goes both ways.

The great frustration one feels when speaking with technophiles is their smug "knowingness." They imagine themselves as little gods, transcending creation and impassively imposing their wills upon the world through their tools. What they fail to see--and I think temperamentally may be incapable of seeing--is their tools shape them (and often deform them) as they use them. One of the great insights of classical mythology: Vulcan was a cripple.

🚨 The banking cartel is in full panic mode. 🚨 While Americans were celebrating Mother’s Day with their families, the CEO of the American Bankers Association sent a frantic alert to every bank CEO in the country, demanding “immediate engagement” to lobby Senators and kill stablecoins that would finally let everyday Americans earn real yields on their own money. This line in the letter sticks out: “we believe committee members may not be fully aware of the risks to the economy by the stablecoin loophole.” That’s both intellectually dishonest and simultaneously demeaning. First, there is no “loophole.” This entire issue was litigated during the GENIUS Act debate. @BillHagertyTN worked tirelessly on this issue and this statement is an insult to his and others work. For decades, these banks have treated your deposits like their personal piggy bank, paying you next to nothing while lending YOUR money out for massive profits and executive bonuses. During the Biden era, these same banks worked hand-in-glove with @SenWarren and her allies to debank Americans, including President Trump’s own family. They shut down accounts of conservatives, patriots, and anyone who dared challenge the regime, all while regulators applied pressure under schemes like Operation Choke Point 2.0. It wasn’t about risk. It was about political control. Now that innovative stablecoins threaten to break their monopoly and give you actual financial freedom? They’re running to Congress again, screaming about “threats to economic growth and financial stability.” Translation: Protect the racket at all costs. The Senate Banking Committee votes on landmark crypto legislation this Thursday. As a member of that committee, my message is clear: Hands off the people’s money. Let Americans choose real competition and better returns. No more shielding Wall Street from the future. The banking elite’s days of rigging the system and debanking their political enemies are over. Innovation, freedom, and the American people will win. I’m voting to break the cartel.

@JonMcK1647 Rare EPC W

EPC Book of Order is in fucntion actually much more Two Office Presbyterian than the PCA's BCO. Despite 9-1 stating that "The Lord of the Church, Jesus Christ, has given three offices to the Church," its BCO in 9-11 allows for Ruling Elders, when necessity arrises, to serve as commissioned pastors that can administer sacraments without any new ordination required. The PCA BCO leaves no room open for Ruling Elders to administer sacraments in any case.

🪙 I've been holding $NOCK for a year or so. There are only a few other tech projects in my time here that I held that long. One was $TAO, which I mined in Beta (still holding). $TIBBIR is another one I've been holding well over a year. 🧠I think in crypto were trained to want projects to move fast, but good tech projects appreciate the same way stocks do. So you have to differentiate hype projects which move fast and hard, and real tech which takes some time to perform well. 📰In @0xKant_ article below you'll see why I've been holding $NOCK, and will continue to for a long time. 💱I don't endorse things lightly these days. There's simply not enough liquidity to go around, but $NOCK is a winner.

So sang Palomides: “Blessed (I sang) the Cornish queen for till to-day no eyes have seen how curves of golden life define the straightness of a perfect line, till the queen’s blessed arm became a rigid bar of golden flame where well might Archimedes prove the doctrine of Euclidean love and draw his demonstrations right against the unmathematic night”

The esoteric reading of Dave’s advice in that clip going around is he is helping the guy.

@tyler_austin55 Buy $NOCK (@nockchain)

- Have kids earlier. A lot earlier. - Buy Bitcoin. A lot of Bitcoin - Buy land. A lot of land. - Lift weights. A lot of weights. - Call your grandpa. A lot of calls.

HOPIUM BROS, CHIME IN

Phase II is coming in just 390 blocks. 4x faster blocks, 50% lower emissions, and smoother block retargeting. A new era, ready to begin the next steps toward building a new private onchain economy.

Henry George vindicated (again)

To me, the opportunity here is not greco-or-techno-futurism. It’s to create a regionally inspired form that settles into the land rather than stand in defiance of it. Conceptual renderings for Sydney, Denver, and Columbia Basin as examples. Landmarks, not eyesores.

Resistance to industrial/infrastructure projects would go to practically nothing if they weren’t made to be so ugly.
