“A toxic slick was detected on 17 August coming from the Russian border village of Tyotkino. According to Kyiv, chemical waste from a sugar factory had been dumped in vast quantities into the Seym. It included ammonia, magnesium and other poisonous nitrates. At the time, fierce fighting was going on in the surrounding area. Ukraine’s armed forces had launched a surprise incursion into Russia and had seized territory in Kursk oblast.” https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/01/ukraine-seim-river-poisoning-chernihiv-ecocide-

“An investigation by China of an American clothing retailer has escalated concerns among foreign companies about their dependence on Chinese supply chains and the future of their operations in the country. China’s Ministry of Commerce said last week that it was investigating PVH, the corporate parent of the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands, for allegedly taking “discriminatory measures” against products from Xinjiang, a region in China’s far west that produces a fifth of the world’s cotton. At issue is whether PVH violated Chinese law by pulling back from purchasing cotton or garments from Xinjiang, where researchers have cited evidence of forced labor, mass arrests and confinement to re-education camps among the region’s predominantly Muslim ethnic groups, particularly the Uyghurs.” https://t.co/wlYAodlfHu

I’m sure that many of you have already read the news but I just wanted to give a statement personally. I have been revealed to be Bitcoin creator “Satoshi Nakokoto” and have been living a sordid tale of lies and deception for years. I apologize to all those I misled and promise to do better in future.

I love being in a cold country. Bring me back to my childhood when my family lived in Toronto. Whenever it’s cold I feel very at home. This is ironic because my ancestors living in India or Pakistan wouldn’t have understood this at all.

It’s over for nothing ever happens people. Praying for safety of people in Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Gaza, and all other countries facing what is now a regional war.

History books which I also don’t think are even necessarily true by the way. Still helpful.

I wouldn’t understand anything I’m reading in the news if I wasn’t also reading history books in order to contextual it all. Otherwise it’s just scattered shards of meaningless information.

Comments from Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi about Arab states guaranteeing the security of Israel in the context of a future peace deal that no longer seems to be a subject of negotiations. You can tell from his manner of speech that he is afraid of what the future holds.

Mushrooms are one of those foods that I used to hate and find incomprehensible when younger but now find delicious and actually crave to eat. See also brussel sprouts.

This important difference: Farcaster is a “sane” app. Twitter is a complete insane asylum because there’s no structure. Farcaster feels like there’s enough structure that you can get your head around it in a normal way and at pace. Granted, part of this is because of scale. But the zero structure format of Twitter is obviously inferior to having channels which can help you both segment information and find what and who you are looking for.

That seems to be the key; structuring by topic.

I have a bachelors in finance and an MBA. I have never used either of these or found them remotely useful in my life in any manner. I also wish I’d just studied philosophy.
