@SahilBloom Why are any of us debating a guy who lives in Murray Hill?

Actual Saturday in the life of this mid-30s guy in the suburbs: 4:30am - wake up 5am - 12 mile run 6:30am - lift 8am - cook breakfast for family 9-5pm - activities w/ family 5pm - cook dinner for family 6pm - sauna 6:30pm - movie w/ family 8pm - sleep Wouldn’t change a thing.

@theliamnissan Thank our dear leader!

We just lost another trillion in the stock market

Do not allow your sane voice to be drown out by crazy sycophantic, greedy, racist and fascist POS. There are good ppl in the world we’re just not often the ones screaming our heads off, but we’re gonna have to start if we don’t want this world to burn.

@thefinnmckenty Preach! Did my 23 years in nyc and feeling good out here now in the suburbs

Literally nothing better than this. And I had to work my ass off for decades to have it. Taking a comfortable unremarkable life for granted, or even worse turning up your nose at it, is the peak of entitlement to me.

@pinedegen “Consumers are the least of our worries rn”

I love how these assholes think they can sell this war to the American people with this sort of messaging.

@sporadica Vile

the Polymarket and Kalshi twitter accounts need to be perma-banned into oblivion

@rektfencer War

EVERY SAFE HAVEN JUST FAILED BTC. GOLD. STOCKS. OIL. FIAT. THE WHOLE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS BREAKING. WHERE DOES CAPITAL GO NOW?

How are all my bootlicking friends feeling today? And I’m not talking about the “boots on the ground” where young men and women will die for a pedophile and his game show administration.

@micah_erfan The love their dear leader

The moment boots hit the ground, every right winger will switch from saying “that’s not gonna happen” to saying “it’s good actually.”

@KobeissiLetter Pawns in the game. Pray for our troops, but not for those sending them to die.

BREAKING: The US Pentagon is sending thousands of additional Marines and three warships to the Middle East. Up to 2,500 Marines from the USS Boxer group are being deployed.

@BigWave372 Only 75%??? What about Trump?

🇺🇸 NEW POLL: 75% of Americans say Pete Hegseth should be removed from office.

@rfkenmore Can we also stop with the multi-hat pile thing?

I don’t think I will actually

@DCinvestor All the crypto bros voted for this to pump their bags

they’re going to say something today which will try to ease markets a bit. maybe even enough to create some newfound optimism about this clusterfuck and then they will rug and anally rape you with some new escalation over the weekend rinse and repeat

@rpnickson JFC this is unreal. I've been pricing pc builds, but had no idea storage was going this direction as well. And at this exponential rate.

I heard the price spiked but I didn't realize it was this crazy What I paid for it last October vs what it costs now

@epsteinsearchin More. It's not enough.

Leon Black just sold his Beverly Hills mansion for $47 million. Off-market. He also settled the Bank of America lawsuit to avoid a deposition. The Epstein files are costing billionaires their homes, their testimonies, and their reputations.

@unusual_whales Nah, fuck that. I love potholes, I love kids going to under funded public schools, and I love healthcare premiums that go up every year like an @elonmusk rocketship.

"We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East That’s 100 X annual federal spending on roads and bridges Picture how great our country could be if we’d spent that $ here Imagine how affordable groceries & housing would be if we hadn’t printed all that $," Thomas Massie has said.

@DemAzuki @MaindeckGames I hear Farouk is still kicking around

@stasmay @MaindeckGames upside of NFTs all but dying is that all the grifters are gone and we get a chance to rebuild our own reputation with less noise. we like tough challenges!

Alright so every post about Azuki TCG is the same thing. - NFT PFP - Cryptobro "Keep pushing" affirmations - Hyperbolic projections about game's future - Red Gate emoji in post and display name, indicating commitment to the game's cult of followers Then I see this pictured interaction and it all makes sense. I got to try Azuki at GAMA, but I just chose to pull it from tomorrow's video (and reshoot the whole thing). Gameplay wise, it was fine - Tim, who showed it to me, was a very nice guy and I have no ill will towards him. The game played nearly identically to Bandai games - which I told him, and which puts it neatly in middle of the road for me for enjoyment. Not amazing, not bad. And that's what I said about it in my first version of the video. But I can't post that now that I see the goals laid bare. The end result of a TCG should be a fun game played between humans at a table - a social interaction, a strategic contest, and a fist bump at the end. The publisher works to make the game conducive to this on a reasonable scale, we pay them for access to more exciting components to enrich our hobby, and the game continues. Instead, I'm seeing that beautiful social experience being used to smuggle in an IP whose purpose is selling tokens on a blockchain. You can certainly enjoy all of the same elements listed above with Azuki, but in doing so and supporting the game, you're supporting a goal of getting their Web3 side exposure and widespread support. A pawn in a larger scheme. That beautiful experience can be had with any other game on the market that ISN'T trying to eventually normalize selling you a listing on a ledger that indicates you are the one true owner of a jpg. And now that I know better, I would recommend you seek ANY of those alternatives.

@WUTangKids hate this click bait shit. it's the oh here's a pizza with cheese on it, WOULD YOU EAT THIS??? Yeah bitch, I would, I have, and I will continue to. fuck outta here.

Dumbest question ever….if you’re not a fan of this album you have no clue about hip hop

@DemAzuki @MaindeckGames This is s Sisyphean battle I'm glad you guys are fighting Dem. NFTs and crypto have made their bed and it sucks that projects that continue on have to fight the never ending battle because of the 99.9% grift that is nft/crypto.

@MaindeckGames lots of people love the game that don't collect NFTs and meet weekly to play with no talk of crypto at all. this was taken yesterday at our NYC office. local shop owners and long time TCG players just hanging out

entire nft industry over the last 5 years has been driven by scams. this isn't news to anyone why 99.9% of ppl outside nfts view it and crypto as such. grifter president in crypto, KOLs on the tl shilling to pump their bags with everyone falling in line over and over again...the list goes on. we did this to ourselves.

Wild to me that there’s a new physical trading card shop in SoHo, one of the most expensive retail locations in the world, and yet NFTs are still broadly seen as a scam industry. Short-term thinking, empty promises, and misaligned incentives have done real damage. This is exactly why we need to raise the bar and clean things up. Everyone wants to be the next Disney, Pokémon, or Pop Mart, but not everyone is willing to operate with the standards those companies were built on. If we actually want this industry to win, we have to call that out and do better.
