(PS: NO ONE LIKE OR ENGAGE WITH CAST! TY)

a few of my favorite things about clanker are 

1. whenever jack sends me a post he drafted and asks "good post?" it always reminds me of the early days when we were in my moms office and I first gave jack the "you have to cast" speech about the importance of posting as a dev. also makes me feel useful when dev wants me to do something. also is just endearing and makes me grateful cofounder is a good dude and not ego maniac 

2. when I call bryce at the end of a busy day with lots of things in motion and he runs through all of the various balls we have in the air, or the consequences and opportunities associated with different paths we might take. bryce gets insti-speak, but he also knows how to speak plain with a guy like me (pleb). 

3. I get to have a couple random calls a day with smart people from different funds or projects in the space. we get to talk seriously, casually, and makes me feel hyped to be in the mix. gives me confidence

Every aspect of life is being stripped of color.

Many have noticed this trend — but why exactly is it happening?

Something deeper is going on… (thread) 🧵 https://t.co/CFSKmgWgqO

Culture Critic

the slow death of cinema lighting, cinematography, and colour grading since ~ the netflix era has been a profound loss for film culture. we have truly lost so much.

watch any half-ass movie from the 90s and it looks like a marty scorsese masterpiece compared to the slop produced by today's hollywood and streaming production companies

Founders

Closed my second shop 😎 

Also got an end cap (typically the most expensive placement in a store) at a 15% discount and an extra week for free.

A divide I sense in the Bot Problem Discourse is whether you think it's possible to exclude antisocial actors from an open network. Call these positions "idealism" and "fatalism."

Idealists think we can intervene and limit the long term growth of spam with the right incentives, credentials, and some social (network) engineering. It makes a lot of sense if you think Farcaster is closer to a closed platform like Twitter.

Fatalists think the long term growth of spam is inevitable and in the long run this will always be the majority of activity on the network. So we need to get really good at filtering. It makes a lot of sense if you think Farcaster is closer to an open protocol like email.

Another dimension on top is optimism vs pessimism: whether you think the negative effects can be mitigated. I can't speak for everyone, but working close to the protocol has made me much more of a fatalist optimist.

I Took a Photo!

ITAP ☀️ 

🫶🏼 WONDERFUL MORNING 🫶🏼

I share every day the beauty that I see with my own eyes. I wish everyone to see beauty in the morning!✨

ITAP GM! ☀️

Where every leaf tells a story, and every breeze sings a song—nature’s beauty is timeless. 🌿✨

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

Farcaster

I'm very bullish on this new chapter of FC.

- New key hires are extremely relevant all-stars @ted @woj.eth @slokh 
- More crypto-native product focus (wallet, rewards, Frames V2)
- Enhanced distribution through Coinbase Wallet
- Better research around how to get creators on the platform
- Noticeable vibe shift from the market on finding products of substance

Stars seem to be aligning - here's to a major year!

teddit

strong opinion, somewhat strongly held:

i don’t fw elon’s emerging “sperm donor” persona. it’s a luxury belief in action. 

he pushes pronatalism, but his $$ lets him offload and opt out of the hands-on parenting that is good for kids.

we shouldn’t normalize absentee fathers. same goes for Kardashians.

Running

ik nobody cares, but I would like to notify everyone that my running streak is still ongoing at 902 days after my 50mi w/ 15mi the day after

Stop waiting for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.👊 👊 👊

That's Great!!!!

after years of painstaking research, i have concluded that the margarita is the perfect cocktail, followed closely by the old fashioned

negroni overall, but margarita hard to beat if it’s hot and/or by the ocean

old fashioned is overrated. just drink it neat if it’s good whiskey.

EF Treasury has deployed:

More to come, including exploring staking. If you have suggestions or ideas for future deployments, reply in the comments and let us know!

Has anyone launched a Solana memecoin on Farcaster? Like posted about it on Farcaster first and marketed it here?

Would be an interesting experiment to combine the more rational thinking of the Farcaster community with the liquidity of Solana, feels like you could build a solid early holder base
