Deutche Wella gets it. I’m very happy to see that the German public broadcaster understands money creation in the modern economy, but also understands something of the goals of project 2025.
They never mentioned Silicon Valley, but I guess for any organization that’s very much on the front line of information they haven’t internalized yet.

Grok, the chatbot built by Elon Musk’s xAI and popularized on his social media platform X, appears to have repeatedly spread misinformation about today’s mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Australia.
Kamala Harris this week made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she's working to keep another White House campaign viable.
If I am ever so fortunate as to become fucking rich, maybe I can do what rich people used to do and just pay artists to keep making their art and not worry about having to pay for a silly things like rent and food.
The world would be a better place if rich people re-embraced that old tradition.
They’re like “oh Michelangelo was amazing. “ but he could have never done what he did without rich patrons and they’re not willing to put up the money to sponsor the next one.
unless it's their own kids 👀 in many fields of the arts, it's nepotism and money that allow the unpaid internships, expensive training, and specialized equipment that allows them to have that career. That cushy trust fund paying for a Manhattan apartment while they "get started..."
They don't care about the quality of the art or artist, just feeding fame to their children to keep their "legacy" going.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on the Decline of U.S. Manufacturing:
“I’m gonna sound like a conspiracy theorist. It wasn’t an accident or a failure, it was a decision by the elites.”
Palmer Luckey explained how the U.S. intentionally shifted away from manufacturing to a “higher value” service economy.
A decision that he says has handed immense power to #China and now threatens the current geopolitical order.
Despite all his talk, this is a trend that Donald #Trump is continuing. #1u

It’s been five years since I was elected to the #OpenStreetMap Foundation board becoming the first POC and the first person residing outside the U.S., Canada, and Europe to be elected. I like to think I broke some sort of glass ceiling because the OSMF currently has three POC on the board, and three people based in Africa or Asia.

Today's #TikTok meme is that the № 1 movie from when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 will go.
But does that mean the year you turned 10, or the year that you spent the most time being 10?
Because for me that means the difference between "Batman" and "Rain Man" and I feel like it's important to know which...

By default, a matrix server keeps a full local cache of every room you join, including all media. This is by design, because rooms are distributed across all participating servers. Unlike MUC chat groups on XMPP, which are unreachable any time the originating server goes down.
You can constrain storage use by limiting cache size, or telling the server to autodelete media after Z time (eg a week).

I thought the alligator scale ones would look more like… scales. I think I need to try a different technique.
But I’m a fan of the ribbing on the purple one.
Can’t stop won’t stop.
This one looks like a damn pot. The custom stitch I used, I think, would work better if it were a solid color.
I also think it needs a nice, thick, non-crochet draw string.
I get another gold star.
Deleted 1000 character rant that would have gotten me more flamed than it's worth because I just know that's how things go

in reply to GhostOnTheHalfShell • • •not all stablecoins are backed by treasuries etc. the 2nd biggest one that is so backed (Circle USDC, ~$60bn mkt cap) has been audited and has the money. tether is the $185bn stablecoin that refuses to be audited, so yeah that's the important question. also other "fiat backed" stablecoins like FDUSD (used on binance) and TrueUSD/TUSD (justin sun) were "backed" but not with assets nearly as good as US treasuries.
there's a few broad categories of stablecoins:
1. "fiat backed" (Tether USDT, Circle USDC, TUSD, FDUSD, etc)
2. "crypto backed" (meaning they hold the backing for the token in bitcoin or ethereum - what could go wrong? some single digit billion dollar stablecoins are backed like this, the biggest of which is Sky FKA MakerDAO DAI)
3. "backed by complex financial instruments and trading positions" (another "what could go wrong?
" case... this is a newish category but USDe, run by recently pardoned Arthur Hayes + BitMEX, is close to $10bn mkt cap)
4. "algorithmic" (backed by hopes and dreams. this category kind of went away after the $40 bn terra/luna implosion, but it's making a comeback with Justin Sun's USDD)
