Bitcoin, not bombs for Tehran: Why it’s time to return to crypto’s anti-war roots
(This post was rejected by a mainstream crypto media outlet, for being “too political,” and because “nobody cares” about the anarchist origins of peer-to-peer cash anymore. All while this same outlet posts the same regurgitated mainstream pro-war drivel as everyone else. This article was called “a stupid thought” by an editor-in-chief, though one of the…

I Left My Heart in Los Santos
Came across these two really wonderful videos tonight, and had to share ’em. As someone who bought GTAV when I was feeling really down, and got lost in the world of the game, it was a kind of salvation. Seeing these older people play it for the very first time was endearing, revealing, and fascinating.…
