IT IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot get over it. Not a SINGLE big leftist creator speaking about the biggest expansion of online surveillance and loss of digital rights in our lifetimes. Unfathomable.
As socialist I'm used to being disaffected, but the total non-reaction to the dismantling of internet freedom from most of my fellow leftists has been genuinely blackpilling. We're really gonna get a surveilled, state controlled internet over some stupid culture war about phones.

.@JamesTalarico to Joe Rogan: My principal told me I was going to teach this kid named Justin, who had brought a knife to school. I told him I wanted to get to know him. We started to build a rapport. Right before winter break, he brought me this gift — a snowflake that he had

dude lied about being good at Path of Exile, why tf should anyone believe him about pedo island
Elon Musk actively sought to visit the island of a convicted pedophile in order to attend the "wildest parties". It's not a smear. It's a fact, based on the evidence from Epstein and Musk's emails released by the DoJ. Musk is now and since September 2025 actively lying about

Here's one of the things that's really chafing me: at this point, it's beyond dispute that the initial statements put out by DHS and other federal officials was verifiably false and did not reflect what had happened in anyway. That fact alone should engender a unified, across the

I’m just going to say something to MAGA real quick, and I’m not going to bother arguing with any of you any further. There simply is no point. I fear that you don’t quite realize what is going on right now because you have a boot shoved so far down your throat that you can’t

it is hilarious how binary people are i criticize the Democratic Party for being absolutely fucking worthless and incapable of nominating and running a candidate who could beat Trump while also losing the legislature in 2024 thereby not being able to offer any meaningful check

Twitter is definitely shit but it is admittedly very funny that even with all of Musk's attempts to warp it into a right wing platform there is still an incredibly sizeable portion of users that openly and freely ridicules right wing thought, often even beating suppression

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile. Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

@HarschJoha583 @Fatalmeh @ethereumfndn > Sounds a lil bit anti-islam but hey Fuck statements like this. Similarly, fuck claiming that standing up for Gazans', West Bankers, Lebanese, Syrian people's right to live in peace and not get encroaching settlements, constant drone strikes and bombs is antisemitic. And fuck

I am so grateful ETH has someone like Vitalik working on it.
Ethereum itself must pass the walkaway test. Ethereum is meant to be a home for trustless and trust-minimized applications, whether in finance, governance or elsewhere. It must support applications that are more like tools - the hammer that once you buy it's yours - than like

the biggest difference between crypto and AI remains unchanged: AI helps states, while crypto gives sovereignty to people against states and look. it's terrifying right now to see the consolidation of state power across the globe. it's easy to see how this all benefits a future

Can’t believe this needs saying in 2026 If you want to know whether a blockchain is neutral, start with one question: can you run a verifying node at home? If no, you can stop there. It isn’t neutral People may still use it. Numbers may still go up. Neutral it is not

it's taken me a long time to accept this. but in the age of decentralized social media, the right wing is *culturally interesting* in a way it's rarely been since the days of monarchism. this was not really true for the bulk of the past 200 years. you'd have your hayeks and
