Over on LinkedIn, a guy notes that Bitcoin price appreciation is equal to S&P 500 over the past 5 years.
Even leaving aside the insane volatility of Bitcoinβ¦
S&P 500 total return is substantially higher, because actual productive assets pay dividends. π¬

Percentage return over 5 years in GBP: Bitcoin 68%, FTSE 100 index 59%, Lloyds Bank shares 190%, NatWest bank shares 263%, Barclays Bank shares 223%.
Over 5 years you would have been much better off investing your money into a UK bank* (*as in buying shares in a bank: Lloyds, NatWest, Barclays, rather than a deposit account - although if Bitcoin falls a lot further...who knows). Ironic, as wasn't "digital currency" supposed to replace banks /Β£?
Based on every crypto bro I've met, it makes total sense to me that Epstein was basically the angel investor of that whole industry for a decade.
If Epstein were alive today, he'd be the biggest LLM booster as well. No surprise half of the LLM datacenter co's used to do bitcoin mining 5 years ago.

The Segwey CEO drove one off a cliff.
After Trumpβs pardon freed him from prison, Jan. 6 rioter Andrew Paul Johnson repeatedly sexually abused two young kids.
βWe were scared,β one victim testified.
Johnson tried to buy their silence - promising to share J6 restitution money.
Today, Johnson got life in prison.
Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD
Ulrich Siegmund AfD posiert mit mehreren SchΓΌlerinnen einer 10 Klasse des Gymnasiums Osterburg und bedankt sich fΓΌr die UnterstΓΌtzung.
Als Sozialkundelehrer in Sachsen-Anhalt kΓ€mpft man ja eh schon bergauf. Aber dann denkt sich mutmaΓlich ein Kollege in Osterburg, dass es ne echt geile Idee wΓ€re, dem Spitzenkandidaten einer rechtsextremen Partei Wahlkampfhilfe mit haufenweise 16jΓ€hrigen zu geben, oder was?

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."
I have two pieces of advice:
1) if you are an individual that drives a car, buy an e-scooter/e-bike, fast
2) if you are a country that depends on imported fossil fuels for electricity production, plonk huge stacks for imported chinese solar/batts/inverters, fast

Historians looking back on the 2026 midterms and trying to explain how the Democrats managed to thrash Republicans will point to many causesβbut let me suggest that they should pay attention to these two words right here:
"I guess."
Iβve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noemβs replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
Itβs a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:
The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???
My dad was one of the first people to realize the internet could be useful for organizing and had their entire org on compuserve when it was still DOS-based! I was on CompuServe forums as a 7 year old. Like, I was basically groomed to loooooove tech and I still hate this GenAI shit.
Sen. John Kennedy revealed that Trump was "mad as a murder hornet" and ready to send Kristi Noem packing, her disastrous senate hearing. Noem apparently asked Trump for a quarter of a billion dollars for a media blitz starring herself.

Markwayne Mullin - yes Mark and Wayne pushed together - is depicted standing on a box during a debate to hide the fact that heβs a very short man and would look quite small next to his opponent.
Holy shit I forgot he was THAT bitch. Incredible. Heβs also this bitchβ¦
