Tell me the worst thing that happened to you that could have been catastrophic but turned out fine? When my #2 son was 3yo, my truck game out of gear on a steep slope as I was taking him out of his car seat and ran us both over, ripping my left arm out of its socket and rolling…

The worst part of this injury wasn’t the pain, it was the amount of advil I was taking daily for weeks on end, the edema that made my foot so fat, and I started drinking alcohol again regularly which made my face and body fatter. Need to get back on @ScottAdamsSays alcohol is…
This turned out to be the most debilitating injury of my life-- inflicted by a toddler. I've had my eye socket shattered by a polo ball. Dislocated both shoulders. Tore one of my quadriceps, so now only have 3. But nothing like this smashed toe-- 3 months painful gimping.…
Innovation at the fractal frontier of fintech requires courageous capital that values freedom.
Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that…

I don’t want #6 to feel like a greek hero who maimed his father with a @TopoChicoUSA bottle so we’re having fun with it.
I believe it's possible for anyone who regularly eats beef to figure out a pasture-raised grass-fed option from a local CSA or ranch. Indie slaughter and butchering too. If you're eating feedlot suffering beef or grass-finished or natural beef, you might as well go lab-grown.
What’s stopping you from only eating pasture-raised beef from your community ranch anon?
The Epstein Gangrene Many little bites From mites and parasites Scratched, infected Mostly uninspected Sovereign dermis Sprouting vermis Scabs picked away Fly eggs laid Screw worms emerge And still no purge Fine cloth conceals But a stink reveals One deep abscess Dripping…
Was at the hospital with my littlest. The clocks had continuous sweep thin red second “hand.” The mechanical wed to the temporal and watching my life pass the conscious. The summer days getting shorter. Babies growing to boys to protomen. The immortal hand doodling & riffing.

Universal symbols for man and woman, but not for family, i.e. man, woman, children, parents of the parents too, a symbol for lineage. @grok generate a universal symbol for multi-generation family.
Summer: long lingering days, breezy warm nights, beach and surf, gardens filling with ripening fruit, what could be better. Ancestral Prunus: Hold my stones.

Truth be told I was a bit of a sexual marketplace terrorist and international playboy of the Western World back in the day. Now easing into jacked grandpa mode.
Dated John Kerry’s daughter. She was a lusty lass. After a dinner at a bistro in the WV with the prez hopeful, we headed to her loft. Some ladies are just across the threshold/kitchen table urgentistas. Sometimes our mobile phones ring up a recent outgoing by mistake. And voice…
NextDoor has that skeletal under-designed yet ad overloaded laggy look and feel of a platform ready to die. @elonmusk @X a neighborhood feature would be cool to replace ND. x-door.
Instead of low-skill immigration we should do high-skill investing in founders and their startups all over the world. Let the cream rise to the top everywhere and let it be denominated in USD.
Applies abroad as well. Sanction enemy regime leaders. But connect their people to capitalism.
Now the 4th largest stablecoin in 🇨🇺.
Bienvenido al mundo qusd!
Optimizing content production for meme inception: be guided by the story mind (archetypes & storylines). Audience is Main Character. Content is Impact. Objective is problem/solution. Relationship is Audience/Content. And the story beats: engage, conflict, resolution…
Your Startup is a Story. You are the Protagonist. Pessimism is the Antagonist. Community as Sidekick. Market as Skeptic. Urgency is your Guardian. Pessimism: Contagonist. Cashflow: Reason. Content: Emotion.
Legacy family formation, i.e. marriage, only works with trad gender roles in the context of land-based community. If women work, marriage doesn't. Without community support, it fails. If we want more babies, we need better alternatives than marriage for family formation.
I like @MattWalshBlog question: What is an American? My dad was an immigrant who became an American without ever becoming a U.S. citizen: -Learned English (his third language) and seldom spoke his mother tongue (farsi). -Raised three successful kids. -Contributed via…
