this is so relatable who amongst us hasn't petitioned a court to adopt a fake name in order to join the Screen Actors Guild and then forgotten what state it happened in hello it's called democracy

The only reason to conduct and publish a scientific study about this, is to construct a pretext to blame white women for refugee men failing to assimilate.

Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, applied martial law and military trials to civilian dissenters, & shut down opposition newspapers Wilson applied the Sedition act to criminalize war opposition, jailed dissenters for 'disloyal' speech, waged the first 'red scare' raids against/expulsions of communists FDR interned the Japanese, setup small-f fascist state control of the economy (price-fixing, quotas, 'Blue Eagle' economic loyalty-tests & enforcement), stayed in power till death

It's really not an overstatement to say that the future of the country hinges on this decision

I hate Gulfstream and the CAW’s so much. Throw them all in jail. How does 7-1 go to 4-1 at the quarter pole. #gulfstream #jail #caws

At @River we take privacy extremely seriously. Even our internal administrative system redacts personal information by default and any access to that information for operational purposes (like a client services inquiry) is logged in detail with robust alerting.

How can Megyn claim misogyny when she fired the manhood insult first?? She sounds like a misandrist to me.

@bigdumb_baby He will.

I deeply respect @CashApp for always putting their users first and not pushing altcoin trading and sports betting.

If Coinbase had never gone down the altcoin/gambling path I never would have started @River. I can promise you this: we will never push gambling products on you or the people you care about. We're bringing Bitcoin Banking to your pocket, while Coinbase is bringing a casino.

just found out “march madness” ends in april now im pissed as hell.

Been watching Mitch Hedberg stand up and this reads like a joke he would write.

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

That Iowa game literally changed the trajectory of my whole life.

So far, Nayib Bukele is on track to be the Lee Kuan Yew of Latin America. The Simon Bolivar of the new century. He focused on building up his own country. He embraced hard money and cut off hard drugs. He did imprison criminals, but did so with the minimum necessary force. He persuaded first, and compelled only when absolutely necessary. Like Lee Kuan Yew, Bukele turned his country into a bonafide showcase for a global audience. Bukele built a domestic coalition in his native Spanish and an international coalition in fluent English. He balanced El Salvadoran nationalism with diplomacy and capitalism, recruiting Tether, xAI, Bitcoin, and tech to the country. Incredibly, he’s made El Salvador into a model not just for Latin Americans, but for North Americans. And he did it in less than ten years, with absolutely no precedent in the region.

Bukele is the greatest American president of the 21st century.

@bigdumb_baby A woman on IG/TikTok bought a nice little home on New Smyrna Beach, FL, and rents it while also owning a boutique coworking lounge in La Jolla, CA. instagram.com/p/CagHrhbuCUU/ Consider contacting her. She’d probably be a great resource!

I'm going to move to the beach I think
