We’re not doing photos of her on social, but my little daughter Eve was born healthy and strong and, frankly, not so little. Eating and pooping nonstop. I’m obsessed with her. I knew parents always said it was unlike anything else and I brushed that off as hyperbole until that first moment I heard her cry last night. 

Her mother is recovering well. I’m very exhausted but thankfully we’re on the Upper East Side and there was a bagel place with excellent lox open at 6 this morning when I stumbled out to gather our first real meal in more than day.

As if this man needed any help dominating the leader board

Posted last night on Farcaster asking who is available to help test new mini apps and give feedback to builders so they can iterate / improve and 150+ users responded. We now have a group chat going and testing / feedback is happening. Farcaster is a special place :)

As a non-American, I don’t quite get the fascination for filibustering.

Yes, some guy (doesn’t matter which side of the aisle he’s from — this cast is apolitical) stood talking for 25 hours and five minutes. Yes, he beat the previous record by 47 minutes. No, he did not go to the bathroom, nor did he eat nor drink. The media are celebrating this as a “physical and mental feat that required stamina and willpower”, as if this was the Olympics.

Except that it’s not a sport, it’s just a performative stunt that further trivializes politics and turns them into a farce, at a time when we need adults in the room more than ever.

No wonder the electorate feels disconnected and numb.

I’m giving Americans the benefit of the doubt on the filibuster. Each country has its own political culture, idiosyncrasies. 
It is not a universal truth that politics should be practised a certain way. 
It can be admirable to desire better, but that desire has to account for the reasons things are as they are today. Chesterton’s Fence etc.

Danish shipping company Maersk is buying assets in the Panama Canal, in a move with irony lost on absolutely nobody…

the quote casting gets ridiculous at times. just reply.

I don’t think this is very biased towards early accounts. 

There’s always going to be a cold start problem

Kaufmann was literally 1 million plus

I’ve never even heard of swampnet!

And even the 5-figure FIDs had to fight very hard to get attention: still 10,000 people on the network before them

In 2 years it will be exactly the same, but the 6-figure fids will have settled in and will be big, and there will be a few more 7-figure fids pushing on the door

One mistake here: “Keep watching sunsets until each one becomes as beautiful as the first (the secret is that the heavenly host sings in a slightly different key each time).”

No, the sunset is not different each time. It is the same. And it is beautiful.

Intriguing scam attempt from Gemini CEX impersonators

1. claims a hack made them bankrupt to create urgency
2. shares a 12 word key and recommends a wallet for you to fetch your funds

Interestingly, the support email goes to the real Gemini. I guess they’re gambling people won’t click it. Stay safe.

is there a german word for when you start using some of the airdrop to try out the product and then regret not paper handing it immediately?

Tag me to convert a cast into the long German word that inevitably exists for it. Made by @lsn.
