The race was absolute chaos. But definitely fun to watch.
This was very funny to watch yesterday 😂

mazel tov to Ismael Loutfi! it was a bachelor party to remember 🍻
apparently i'm closest to Abu Hanifa and i'm not even a hanifi 🤨
This is amazing. Makes my phone hot. I guess I’ll have to play it on my pc.
well, i'm not trying to justify conquest or violence. i think both of those are problematic. i'm simply observing that jew, christian, muslim, hindu, and likely more all have killing as a central element of their religion. it is a key theme and important moral question.

the doctrine permiates into culture though too. look at christian eschatology and political perspectives on verses like Matthew 10:34 or Revelation 19:15. SoW Pete Hegseth has the Matthew verse, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword" tatooed on his body 🤣 terrible example but the "crusader" idea is historically bound to christianity.
the crusifiction would be the primary example. attonement theology is entirely based on the idea that "without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." (Hebrews 9, 22)
no, violence is not the word that should be used as that implies particular intentions in the act of killing. however, killing is permissable and even considered worship in most religions, which is a thing even the angels struggle to comprehend.
"Idolatry is worse than carnage."
Baqarah 191
Bitcoin is being a badass in this economic environment.
Nostr market places are super complicated. Hopefully this is better.

As if we are losing taste for beauty or something
That's the "updated" model. The old one was "there's a single way to view life/politics/economics and if you don't agree with it you're an outcast". This model worked for small communities and tribes and it exists still. So you can understand how hard it is to speak about bitcoin in such communities.
oh nice! i did not know there was a match tonight. ill probably turn on the tv and watch the last couple.
I just sat down after tidying the house.
whats the time on your side of the world?
Yesterday after Jumu’ah prayer, an old gentleman stood up to talk to us. He was nearly 80, a white revert, and he said a few words about his conversion story, about Islam being a religion of peace, and about his organization, Muslim Voices for Peace or something like that, can’t remember the exact name. He talked about how they were spreading dawah in over 100 countries, how he lives in Saudi Arabia now, in Jeddah, and how fortunate he felt to have spent his life doing this work.
He and some of the people traveling with him had set up a table outside with hats, t shirts, pamphlets, all kinds of merchandise that looked like it had been sitting in boxes for decades. Lots of “Know Islam, Know Peace” type stuff. You get the picture. Felt like the table had been teleported straight out of an Islamic convention from 2002.
He was a charming old man, though. You could tell age was catching up with him and that he was probably nearing the end of this chapter of his life and ready to retire any day now. I couldn’t help but approach him afterward, shook his hand, gave him a big hug.
The whole scene left me with this strange bittersweet feeling that I couldn’t quite shake. For a moment I felt like I was nine years old again, like I was listening to someone like Yusuf Estes explain that Islam means peace, that the Trinity doesn’t make sense, you know all that old school dawah material I heard constantly growing up. There was something deeply nostalgic about it. Felt like I was hearing echoes from some distant era in my childhood, surrounded for a few minutes by a kind of atmosphere I hadn’t realized had long disappeared.
And what made it even stranger was that my own 9 year old son was sitting next to me listening to him 😂
It was just surreal. I felt like Frieren suddenly encountering some ordinary event in the present that opened a door onto a life from centuries ago. Felt mundane but also dreamlike. I’m sitting there as a father now, watching my son at the same age I was when this particular style of American Muslim dawah was everywhere, and listening to this elderly brother who somehow carried that entire period with him into the room.
There’s a sobering side to it too, the brother really does seem frozen in the 90s and early 2000s. He’s still giving dawah as though Muslims just came out of 9/11 and our great civilizational task was convincing Americans that Islam is peaceful and explaining why the Trinity is wrong. The world he learned to operate in has pretty much vanished. The entire Muslim scene has changed. Everyone has moved on.
It reminded me of that Japanese soldier stranded on a remote island who kept fighting World War II decades after it was over. There’s something objectively funny about it, but also genuinely sad. He kept faithfully, and almost robotically, carrying out the mission he was given, even though the world around that mission disappeared. Maybe that’s why I felt compelled to hug him, idk.
For a few minutes he brought an entire vanished world back into the masjid with him. And sitting there beside my own son, I realized that I was remembering being nine myself.
I'll stop talking now. Just a weird reflection I had after Jumu’ah.
what are you all up to tonight!?
Today’s home improvement project was to put temp sensors in all rooms across the house. Get a WiFi enabled thermostat and hook them all to Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi using Matter.
Got my clanker to set up a custom dashboard with temp profiles that do smart profile scheduling and temp averaging to get the house to an ideal temperature for all rooms at different times.
And I’m out of tokens till tomorrow. ✌️
Good productive day.
Much better now, but I’m also drugged 😂 so who knows.
Where do you get these gifs from?
Proton says:
“On Friday, October 2, 2026, an issue with Apple’s developer program caused Proton Mail for Mac and Proton Meet for Mac to stop opening on macOS for some users. In some cases, macOS also incorrectly flagged them as malware.”
That’s obviously not true. It was an error on Apple’s part. But Apple treats it as settled fact: the app gets sent straight to the Trash as soon as I try to open it. I can take it out and get it working again, but it just ends up back in the Trash every time.
What unbelievable nerve. If you’re going to be so damn overbearing, Apple, then at least make sure you’re not making a mistake, because now you just look like complete assholes.
Linux ftw.
What do you mean US only?

#omarchy key bindings is like walking into home depot.
every tool on earth is there. some things you know about, others you stumble upon while browsing.
and of course, you don't want to ask where things are... but you eventually do, and it's a clanker waiting for you one key binding away.
this is probably the most fun distro of linux i have ever used.
The #ditto GM animation is something else.
Give us more...
Having a cook.
Would be amazing if I can uber a cook.

The irony here is that the Kasurian editor's critique of Islamic finance doesn’t actually produce anything new.
IF basically accepts the prohibition on Riba but then modifies the contractual forms until they can be reterritorialized onto existing fiat/credit system. But he simply performs the inverse operation where he accepts the existing financial system, then reinterprets riba until the prohibition no longer interferes with it.
We can see that the first solution changes the financial signifiers while preserving the machine, and the other solution changes the religious signifier while preserving the machine. So either way, the same debt regime, banks, monetary architecture, incentive structures remain. The supposed line of flight just gets captured and routed straight back into the same assemblage.

Gotta love how nostr works.
But it just a number, we can all tune to the same radio channel rather quickly.
