I was fairly surprised to see these kind of takes on this platform. It’s incredibly disheartening to see proclaimed freedom focused individuals joking about a government extrajudicially killing people.
Setting aside the whole extrajudicial killing portion/ghoulishly laughing at the loss of life; early reports indicate that out of the hundreds injured, at least one child was killed. To that point, even if somehow you’re okay with the whole extrajudicial killing aspect, it’s been reported that some of these pagers were detonated while targets were in heavily populated civilian areas (markets, while driving, etc.) which would obviously lead to innocent individuals being killed or injured.
Of note, one of those reportedly injured was an Iranian ambassador. So, if you’re not a neocon and still hold out hope for deescalation and world peace, this ain’t it.

Been a minute, but I’ve read it, as well as The Hole by Hiroko. They’re book super short novellas and worth a read, but neither jump to front of mind when tossing out suggestions.

What’s the backstory on Tina? I remember they used to be on all the pods tossing out hopium on the reg, but I haven’t heard that name in forever.

If it makes the world modestly safer, lol. What a joke.

I feel you, but what’s to respect though? Odell is being hypocritical and should be called out accordingly. He is literally posting about judging people for having Twitter, while having a Twitter account, lol. Obviously in a general sense, to each their own, and people (Odell included) can enjoy whatever platforms they like. However, Odell has been extremely vocal about the ills of Twitter. Case in point, have you listened to TFTC the last few months? Odell has been ribbing Marty incessantly about the blue check issue (rightfully so), to the point that their flow has simply seemed off and I started to think they were just ideologically distancing from each other and that Odell might just focus on Dispatch.

All while being on Twitter. Odell is being a hypocrite. Spade a spade.

Longtime freak, but sadly you’re being a hypocrite. I was shocked to learn during a recent TFTC that you’re still on Twitter, regardless of the rationale. As a long time listener, TFTC has felt fractured/strained for the last few months w/you sulking over Marty being on Twitter (albeit over blue check), to the detriment of the flow of the podcast. I’m not mad, just disappointed.

My overall use of Twitter (both Bitcoin Twitter and my normie account) has been waning for months now. After being on the bird app since around 2012, I finally just went ahead and deleted it entirely.
The site has devolved into an unmitigated cesspool. Without actively viewing or searching for such things, my respective feeds became inundated with ads, fight videos, and some of the worst gaslighting political/social takes one could imagine.
It’s inconceivable to me why someone would actually pay money to use their current product. It is unmistakably pumping out bad vibes and fucking with people’s minds.

Lummis. Hate to see it. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/d2b893d34062d8885fb5814c4f9ba239a612dcc34ae535933e82faa574445913.jpg

Go watch #Blackberry. Dope soundtrack, captured the era, and Baruchel/Howerton crushed it.

It’s a combination of apathy, confusion, and fatigue. The mainstream news cycle is relentlessly pumping out something to engender fear, only to then bury it under a new alleged cause for concern, once the original concern doesn’t manifest/the story has been exhausted.
All the while, there’s no accountability if and when a retraction is warranted. So, the masses are beaten down, cannot keep up with the latest fear-of-the-day, and are genuinely unaware of who they can trust/what to believe.
IMHO, this all leads a lot of individuals to tune out or when pressed to simply take the path of least resistance in accordance with whatever the latest narrative is at the time.

When it comes to Bitcoin events (conferences, meet-ups, etc.) and/or in-person Bitcoin advocacy, I’m curious to hear how people balance their interest/support for Bitcoin adoption vs. privacy concerns. Also, is self censor/silence an impediment to the overall movement?
For adoption purposes, I think these events and public facing advocacy is critical. However, I’ve always been deterred from attending such things due to privacy concerns. That same sentiment applies to in-person advocacy, as I’ve always had concerns about potentially increasing the odds of becoming a target and/or just feeling the awkwardness of the person you’re interacting with ball-parking how much you’re worth in fiat terms due to Bitcoin (which feeds into the former concern).

As someone who wears a suit/tie five days a week, a bowtie is a good way to get some variety in your daily look. My only rule on bowties is that they should be paired with a three-piece. As another poster noted, bowties are definitely far more prevalent in the US South.

Was Canada’s freezing of bank accounts during the trucker convoy back in 2022 only covered on Bitcoin Twitter?
I’ve long since given up talking about Bitcoin in real life, but the few times it’s come up, I’ve referenced the convoy/freezing bank accounts as a potential relatable inflection point. However, each time, not only was the person absolutely clueless to this event ever occurring, but they made it seem like it was an absolutely absurd proposition of it ever occurring. Mind you, on each of these occasions, the conversation was with individuals who are occupationally in the professional class and who project strong political/sociological opinions.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
