1. Incredible footage. 2. Pfizer’s got some (more) explaining to do. 3. It’s entirely possible the guy really was just lying to impress his date, then cracked under the sudden realization that an EPIC catfish had just ended his life as he knew it.

Ideal site for a #bitcoin mining operation. No bail outs or sympathy tweets needed. Just lift the moratorium and allow waves of new investment pour into the province and local communities. #bcpoli

This is terrible news. BC’s forestry jobs are foundational to building a sustainable economy. This is a difficult announcement for families and communities of Chetwynd impacted by this closure. We will be there to support these workers & find innovative solutions that save jobs. twitter.com/theprovince/st…

Epstein cites experts in a range of relevant fields—a falsifiable claim anyone can test by reading one of his books. Rather than bragging about how popular your opinions are, why not defend them on the merits? Your trusting followers deserve as much, no?

No single person is an expert on all aspects of climate science and policy. And you’d have professional philosopher to teach you that an appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.

A country with world’s 3rd largest supplies of hydrocarbons is astonishingly being led by a group of fanatics committed to sealing off its resources & turn 2.7 million well paying jobs into janitors. Name any country with such a bounty that’d fold its tent despite advantage?

The dramatic expansion of this pseudoscholarship within academia is going to be disastrous. These jobs have only recently been filled, and this hiring trend isn't about to slow down any time soon. They're about to flood the zone with a maximal amount of this nonsense. Get ready.

Half the faculty jobs in history over the last three years focus on ethnic identity, 35% on African American history. And this doesn’t account for the jobs focused on social justice/equity. Based on what I’ve seen, this is a good picture of what’s going on throughout academia. twitter.com/karpmj/status/…

The real story here is the cork-popping and high-fives accompanying it’s release. As if a single newsworthy report had redeemed Canadian journalists for spending the last 3 years silencing every critic and victim of the government’s COVID policies.

The battle over Bitcoin will take decades to play out. Bitcoin is fundamentally the idea of removing money from the government. Many see Bitcoin as an idea whose time has come and believe that BTC will therefore continue to be successful in our time. 1/10

The ethical basis for restricting fossil fuels disintegrates when you realize 3 billion people in the world live on less energy than your refrigerator and they can’t afford the higher costs and unreliability of alternatives like wind and solar.

The War on Fossil Fuels, like the War on Drugs, punishes the people least able to reduce their dependence in order to comfort the people least affected by the product’s negative sidhe effects.

Are there factors I’m overlooking? Did I miss something simple? This can’t be the first time someone has contemplated a future #Bitcoin Node War?

Node downloads and code changes could be pushed onto a resentful and receptive have-not global majority by a consortium of state, media, and tech firms. Think of how achievable this could become with an AI wielding MAGA ( Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Apple).

Unlike ASIC miners, which are costly and difficult to source in massive quantities, nodes are, by design, cheap and can run on any laptop.

What will prevent future latecomers to #bitcoin from organizing globally to wrest control of a majority of nodes to freeze transactions, increase supply, or otherwise alter the code to their benefit?

#Bitcoin’s decentralization is key to its success. But have bitcoiners considered the possibility of a decentralized “node attack”?

And you didn’t even get to ask about her family ties to Ukrainian nazis.

Canada will fail 10 years before the USA... And we still have a few years to go, at a minimum imo. We could vastly extend that runway if we adopted #btc as a reserve asset...

Have you prepared or seen an analogous analysis for Canada 🇨🇦? Most #bitcoin economists seem to believe other weaker economies will cave before the US, and it’d be informative to compare cases.

Abandon your search for the Archimedean point. Triangulate.

Before clicking on a headline, you should be able to find out whether to correct for government bias (public funding), Supoort The Latest Thing! bias (corporate ads), or Confirmation Bias (subscriber funded).

But honest Journalists don’t pretend they’re divine oracles, They own their biases and perceived biases.

News organizations portray (and believe themselves to be) purveyors of truth, a public good. But in reality content is bent to the will of its buyers. So you might as well be transparent.

News orgs and independent journalists that want to build trust should proactively disclose the proportion of their funding received from ads, government, subscribers, and other sources.
