I laugh when I hear people like President Trump come out “against” Bitcoin. First of all, I have no doubt that Trump doesn’t know thing one about Bitcoin. Second, being “against” Bitcoin is like being “against” the weather. You can’t stop it if you tried. Bitcoin exists in the same way that air exists. It just does. Oppose it if you will, but there it is, utterly unconcerned with what the President thinks. As if he could do anything about it.

I’ve been trying hard to find a good side hustle. I keep mulling things over, reading, thinking, and pondering. I’m following the “keep searching, and something will become clear to me” theory. For example, pursuant to that, I bought 100 Side Hustles in hopes that it stimulates some thought. I have a bunch of ideas, but keep hoping something will leap out and give me utter clarity. Here’s to that happening.
I am deeply amused by this notion of storming Area 51. I especially love the involvement of trebuchets. Now there’s a lot going on at Area 51, but I’m 100% sure that there are no aliens there. I don’t know if I am allowed to say this, but I do know personally about some stuff that goes on there. Trust me, it’s way more interesting that aliens.
This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, I had no idea that Mastodon exists, and I am delighted by it. Second, I’ll say that if you won’t accept and allow “hate speech” (whatever the hell that is) then you can’t claim to be in favor of free speech. If you aren’t willing to allow Nazi’s to freely express their views, then you aren’t, to be quite frank, any better than the Nazi’s themselves.
I watched Chernobyl, a mini-series from HBO. There are no words, but I’ll try. Devastating. Staggering. Amazing. Riveting. Compelling. The bravery and sacrifice was moving. The staggering disdain for human life was pathetic. Bottom line: Socialism is horrible and murderous.
