If you are entering Cryptoart (which I doubt), what I learned after 10 years deeply immersed on it: - Don't be critic (despite you are a master of your craft). - Don't give your opinion about 'masterpieces/grails' that are what we did as TESTS 20 years ago. -Don't try to 'educate' curators, even less self proclaimed curators that discovered our practice decades after we developed and mastered them. -Don't try to give advice to collectors when they are buying CRAP for huge amounts (despite time later this works worth ZERO. -Don't denounce harassment and bad behaviours in platforms, you will be forced to leave the platform while those causing huge harm can be there with no problem. -Use memes in your work, despite you don't care or never understood what memes mean. -Don't talk about your past trajectory, even less when it was FULL focused on Cryptoart/Digital art. It can 'break' the narrative of all previous points. -Don't do good art, new aesthetics and narratives. They will be stolen and applauded, as long as it's not 'you' developing them. -Don't denounce copymintint and thefts. You will be accussed of complaining while the copyminters and thefts, enjoy and benefit, with no punishment. And OVER ALL, do not try to be an independent and sovereign artist, despite this was the MAIN POINT of Cryptoart. Enjoy!

Clavicular just ANNOUNCED a 30-day marathon dedicated to MOGGING 🤯 "My name is Clavicular. I'm 20 years old. I believe in LOOKSMAXXING, the idea of maximizing physical attractiveness by any means necessary in order to ascend." "In the morning, if my jaw looks a little weak, I'll BONESMASH to strengthen it. My ratios are nearly golden now." "When it comes to ascension, if you're not LOOKSMAXXING, you're not LIFEMAXXING and if you're not doing it, you're nothing." "The wait is over. March 13th. MOG World Order begins. 30 days, 24/7 live on KICK."

The arguments about Iran are so polarised that no one wants to admit that several things are true at once: You'd be a fool not to have serious reservations about the idea of a regime change war, especially in the Middle East. You'd also be a fool to allow terrorist-funding lunatics to develop nuclear weapons. Neither the people condemning these strikes, nor the people cheering them on know how this is going to work out. So far, Trump Administration interventions have been extraordinarily successful in achieving valid objectives within a highly limited scope. The strikes on Iran during the 12 day war achieved destruction of several nuclear facilities. The Venezuela operation decapitated the hostile regime and replaced Maduro with a non-hostile leader. Both also achieved significant "don't fuck with us" deterrence globally. However, it is not remotely clear at this moment in time whether something similar can be achieved in Iran. I understand and fully empathise with the people who think regime change is not going to work in Iran and you'll end up with the same as what you had or worse. And I understand just as much the people who celebrate an evil dictator being killed and Iran's nuclear and military assets being degraded further. The thing we do not know, and the thing that will determine whether this has all been worth it, is what the future leadership of Iran will look like. This seems to me to be the biggest risk Donald Trump has taken at any time in his first or second term. If it pays off, the reward both domestically and globally will be huge. If it doesn't and things go south, it could derail his Presidency and define his legacy like Iraq did for Blair and Bush. Very few people have any idea which of these scenarios is more likely and one thing is for sure: none of them are talking about it on social media because they're all sitting in command bunkers, not on X. I hope the people of Iran are released from living under tyranny. I hope the peoples of the Middle East can live in peace. I hope the takeaway for any would-be terrorist is the realisation that October 7 might not have been such a good idea. I hope that with the Middle East stabilised, the US can turn its attentions to the theatres that really matters to the security of the West: Russia and China. Whether any of that happens remains to be seen and it seems the hardest thing for anyone to do is to not express an opinion before the smoke has cleared.
