Why did Blackrock, a corporation with $10T in assets, get $500B of our US taxpayer $ in one of the COVID bills?

@TFTC21 Imagine giving this guy a loan against that BTC he "owns" but can't access 🤣

A Wyoming LLC filed a lawsuit in New York Supreme Court seeking ownership of 39,069 Bitcoin wallets it claims are abandoned property. The plaintiff, operating under the pseudonym "Noah Doe," says he built an algorithm to identify dormant Bitcoin wallets that have been inactive for at least five to six years. He brought USB drives containing the wallet addresses to the NYPD's 17th Precinct, reporting them as found property under New York's lost-and-found law. The complaint claims notices were sent to wallet owners via OP_RETURN blockchain messages, a public webpage, and a global press release. Owners were given 90 days to respond. Of the original 42,001 wallets flagged, 2,932 were removed after some showed on-chain activity. The remaining 39,069 wallets did not respond. The plaintiff is now asking the court to declare him the legal owner of all 39,069 wallets and the Bitcoin inside them under New York Personal Property Law Article 7-B, which governs found and abandoned property. The wallets reportedly hold approximately 3.8 million BTC. The complaint argues that losing a private key does not destroy the property interest in a wallet, likening dormant wallets to abandoned bank accounts. The case names all 39,069 wallet holders as "John Doe" defendants. The plaintiff is not claiming to have the private keys to any of the wallets. He is seeking a court order declaring ownership. The complaint was filed May 1, 2026 under Index No. 153119/2026. h/t @DailyStackHQ

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

A friend recommended this a little while back, looks amazing.

Wild time to be alive friends...

@Chesschick01 @Cjpearson Literally the ideal man I try to model my life after, while knowing i will not measure up. Shoot for the stars, land on the moon.

@Cjpearson You make it sound like Thomas Massie didn’t design his own products, sell them, start a business, sell it, then build a house with his own hands, and start a farm. Odd

Getting a real job is always an option, by the way.

@Cjpearson @JohnHowardRoar1 You mean by abandoning their stated goals and principals, the ones that people voted for during the campaign?

@JohnHowardRoar1 There are many members who have expressed their disagreements with the President in a far less attention seeking and more effective manner.

@KerryBurgess @SenseiRich4 @PJBrizzle Feels real good blindly siding with Blue and Red, but it's all the same Kool-Aid

@SenseiRich4 @PJBrizzle That would be a firm no on the Democrats. It's only a couple of years since Anthony Blinken lied to us every night on TV on behalf of the genocide supporting Biden administration...

Thomas Massie is an absolute legend. He's the only man on Capitol Hill with the integrity and moral fortitude stand up and name the Epstein paedophiles and demand that justice is done.

Best @realDonaldTrump tweet ever. This is what putting America first means... ending the endless wars, and honoring our soldiers by only giving them missions where America’s interests are at stake, and where victory can be defined.

"100% Grated Parmesan Cheese." That's what the label says. That is, in fact, the literal text the manufacturer has chosen to place on the front of the package. The 100% refers to a feeling, not a chemistry. In 2012, the FDA raided Castle Cheese in Pennsylvania, a major supplier of grated cheese to American supermarkets. The 100% Parmesan they were selling was 0% Parmesan. It was a blend of cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, and powdered cellulose, the last of which is, in industrial terms, wood pulp. Or to be more specific: fine fibres extracted from the cell walls of trees and processed into a flowable powder used to stop the cheese from clumping in the shaker. The Castle Cheese executive went to prison. The company went bankrupt. The practice continued. In 2016, Bloomberg commissioned independent lab testing of major American "100% Parmesan" products. Kraft's product contained 3.8% cellulose. Some Walmart and Albertsons store brands tested as high as 9%. The accepted industry threshold for "anti-clumping" cellulose use is 2 to 4%. The cheese is partly wood. The Italians, who have been making the actual cheese for a thousand years, can only sell their version under EU protection as Parmigiano Reggiano: three ingredients, milk, rennet, salt, aged in a 75-pound wheel for at least twelve months in a specific geographic region with the name burned into the rind in dotted pin lettering. The American "Parmesan" can be anything. The American "Parmesan" can be sawdust. The Italian cheese costs more. The Italian cheese is more. The price of food is sometimes the price of food being food.

@mrsvigorito @SamaHoole Translating english to english should convert units @elonmusk

@SamaHoole Can you transfer to gallons please? Because this American doesn’t get liters but I want to understand better even though I know it’s a lot. Like, too much. But I need metrics I can understand without googling math facts late at night. Please and thank you! 🙏🏼

The funniest maths in modern environmentalism. One almond requires 12 litres of irrigated water to produce. Peer-reviewed, ScienceDirect, 2017. A glass of almond milk contains roughly 50 of them. 600 litres of water before the carton is filled. The water comes from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which sits over one of the most over-extracted aquifers on earth. The valley floor has subsided by up to nine metres in places due to groundwater depletion. The carton is then refrigerated, sailed across the Atlantic, refrigerated again, lorried to a Manchester Tesco, and bought by someone who is concerned about the environmental impact of dairy. Meanwhile, in Cheshire. A British dairy cow drinks roughly 70 to 100 litres of water a day and produces around 28 litres of milk. That's about 3.5 litres of water per litre of milk. The water is rainwater that fell on her field or came from a local stream fed by the same rainwater. The rain was going to fall on the field whether the cow stood in it or not. 80% of her moisture intake comes from the grass itself, which is also rain. She converts the grass, free of charge, into a litre of milk containing seven times the protein and four times the calcium of almond milk, and shipped roughly 18 miles to the same Tesco. To recap. 600 litres of stolen aquifer, flown halfway round the world for nutritionally worthless beige water. Or 3.5 litres of rain that was already falling, converted by an animal you can pet, into actual food. The shopper picks the almond. She has been told this is the ethical position. The aquifer would like a word.

@wilburfort @ErinIshimoticha @gatorgar @SpaceX

@ErinIshimoticha @gatorgar @SpaceX Set and stingy, eh

Maybe @SpaceX can ask its engineers not to chant nationalist dogwhistles on the livestream please? 😒

@Contact64120063 @elonmusk @aaronburnett True. If he only makes it to one starship launch every 10 hours, we can call it all a total failure I think.

@elonmusk @aaronburnett It seems realistic numbers for Elon are usually an order of magnitude less than what is predicted.

I think once we get to a Starship launch every month we’ll see a dramatic increase in optimism. At once a week it will be boring again (for most people). Like Falcon 9 was. But that cadence is a perfect time to get your non-space friends and family to launch if they haven’t already. The experience is powerful the repetition rate makes it undeniably real.

Honest Question Are both parties fully corrupt? Yes or No

You get to abolish one of the below, which one are you choosing??

@cstrategist1 @beinlibertarian Ha. I am not a Libertarian that is true. Nor democrat, nor republican. Perhaps you didn't understand the question, or just disagree.

@AaronInAlaska @beinlibertarian Wow you really just do not understand any part of this. Respectfully, maybe it's for the best that you don't have any political affiliations.

Is it time to rebrand the Libertarian Party? The infrastructure is there. Ballot access is there (mostly) Building a brand new Party from scratch is next to impossible even if funded by billionaires. (Ask RFK Jr) Working within the GOP is a lost cause. What say you?

According to Flight 12 and NG-3, this is what a peak launch vehicle looks like. New Glenn GS1 with Starship Ship 39
