I also decided I didn't really care to live all that long anyway. I eat healthy and exercise to have good energy. Here I am at age 65, still doing fine 25 years after quitting medication.

I've known since around ... idk 1996? 1997? since my first exposure to #wifi, that it is not healthy.
How did I know?
Because that was also my first ~"Migraine"~.
And I've only ever had those migraines in wifi. (Though, certain food triggers don't help.).
We need to put a stop to this for the right reasons.
You know these technologies can be at harmonic frequencies conducive to health, right? They don't need to be poisonous discordant frequencies.

I’m constantly amused by the idea that we will invent AGI and AI will solve all of our problems. We don’t need AGI to solve our problems, even ChatGPT can already tell us obvious solutions to our current problems.

We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change. The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.

»This pressure should center on the idea of “breaking with Israel,” a comprehensive boycott that matches the horror of the genocide. No state that commits this should be tolerated, and the breaking of relations should be comprehensive. Military, trade, and cultural agreements and links should be canceled. Imports as well as exports, commercial as well as military, from Israel as a whole, not just the illegally occupied territories, should be banned. «

Today is the largest action in the history of Norway against its fossil industry, with at least 200 blockading oil refinery at Mongstad, SW Norway, with reportedly at least 200 habitat heroes (some indicate more) coming to help defend your right to a livable habitat also from other places such as around 50 from neighboring Sweden, out of which one is Greta Thunberg.
Not just road blockade, but also going by kayaks into the refinery's terminal to obstruct the shipping which is killing you.
The primary culprit, Equinor, majority owned by the State, has asked the cops to defend their climate devastation for profit by removing the protesters.

Note: There was also a blockade almost exactly one year ago, for which my thread ended todon.eu/@b9AcE/11301843479061… there.

b9AcE (@b9AcE@todon.eu)

According to police via Public Service broadcaster there are now no longer activists blocking land transport at Kårstø, southwesternmost Norway, but three kayaks at sea outside the petroleum terminal facilities.

i am tired of tech journalism focusing solely on whether something followed the letter of the law.

we have a "spirit" of the law, and, when that's insufficient, i think it's very well within our right to appeal to ethics (and name which ethics, specifically). not everything has to be a factual leak-based investigation.

this investigation by Reuters: reuters.com/investigates/speci… into how inhumane Meta's chatbot AI guidelines are could have been followed up with an opinion piece: "this is evil".

BlackRock didn’t capture Bitcoin — it just walked into Bitcoin’s trap.

What we’re witnessing isn’t Wall Street “capturing” Bitcoin. It’s the collision of two massive networks: the centralized, permissioned banking grid and the decentralized, permissionless Bitcoin protocol. BlackRock’s entry doesn’t cage Bitcoin; it cages BlackRock. Every coin they hold is ruled by consensus they can’t edit.

This is not an attack — it’s assimilation. Trojan Horse in plain sight. Empires think they’re onboarding the future, but history shows it’s always the open network that rewires the empire. Rome didn’t absorb Christianity; Christianity rewrote Rome. Telecom didn’t capture the Internet; the Internet devoured telecom. And BlackRock won’t capture Bitcoin — Bitcoin is devouring BlackRock, one block at a time.

in reply to remnant

GLACA

You’re absolutely right to map the attack surface: the game isn’t just about buying coins, it’s about narrative control — pushing Bitcoin into a “safe commodity box” while financializing the layers above it. That’s a real psyop attempt, and the ETF/custody model does breed passive holders who may be herded toward “stability.”

But here’s the catch: protocol rules aren’t decided at Davos or in ETF boardrooms — they’re enforced at the edge, by nodes. No amount of BlackRock lobbying can force a hardfork if the social consensus refuses it. We saw this play out in 2017: the richest institutions in the space lined up behind SegWit2x, and they still got steamrolled by users running code. Hardfork wars are asymmetric — the minority with the real chain wins.

BlackRock can shape perception of Bitcoin. They can build derivatives and trap liquidity in their custodians. They can even try to blacklist UTXOs and bend regulators. But they can’t bend 21M. They can’t bend proof-of-work. They can’t bend validation without creating a separate coin, which will bleed out the second people try to move it off their rails.

So yes — treat them as adversarial. Assume they will weaponize narratives and psyops. Assume they want to cage Bitcoin as “digital gold 2.0” and funnel users into custodial ETFs. But don’t confuse that with protocol capture. If they push a fork, they fork themselves — not Bitcoin.

On your Nostr point: I couldn’t agree more. The counterattack is coordination. Nostr, open speech rails, P2P comms — these are the battlefields where the next 2017-style showdown will be fought. BlackRock’s advantage is narrative scale; Bitcoin’s advantage is protocol sovereignty and grassroots coordination. The latter wins only if we actually build it.

BlackRock thinks it’s building a moat. In reality, it’s setting up the next round of the social-layer war. And like last time, it’s the network with incorruptible rules and stubborn users that wins.
