 Damus has the option to link status to Apple Music. I wish it could link to other things as well because I never use that. 

I heavily use Spotify and Fountain and plan to use Wavlake more than I do. Would be cool if we could have statuses link to these. Wavlake and Fountain especially make sense. 

I know Discord links to Spotify somehow. 
 My father in law just got an espresso machine and is quickly mastering the latte learning curve 🤌 
 Hmm, how bout cocoa powder in the coffee grounds?
My FIL puts cinnamon in with the coffee and it’s quite nice. Cuts down on my desire for sugary coffee (I normally like hot coffee to be a ✨confection✨) 
 In college I would add SO much honey to my coffee 😅 it seems a ridiculous amount to me now and I still like “dessert coffee”

The only coffee I have truly enjoyed black, with neither sweetener nor dairy, was served at an Ethiopian restaurant. The folks who invented the stuff know what they are doing 💯 ☕️ if I can learn that secret someday it will be a good thing

 this combo sounds fire. A favorite very simple dessert or breakfast of mine is to just dip dates in pecan butter.
If you wouldn’t mind sharing the recipe, I’d be interested…. 
 Married men into Bitcoin:

 Dinner and toy in one? 
 It’s already annoying to me that she picks up food and doesn’t eat it, just looks at it from all angles and then drops it 🙃 I know I’m being trained for the days she starts throwing it around 
 I don’t think enough people know about how cool these podcasts are.

 How can we foster a culture of awareness and minimization of bias in the pursuit of knowledge, rather than ignoring it and outright pandering to various interests?

Modern science seems to be doing a poor job and I actually don’t believe there were really “good old days,” just different biases and less lay criticism. 

This is something we’re going to have to do going forward if we want to divorce state and science. And we’re going to have to do it well, and in competition with entities that have a lot of funding and social standing. 

I think part of the problem is that states print and steal what they need to directly and indirectly influence science culture. But I’m certain there has to be more. Our scientists come from the culture at large, and that is where I think the problem also lies; with a widespread willingness to overlook truth for the sake of tribe. How do we fix it?

 I would like to believe this, but looking at the bitcoiners I know — great people though they tend to be, I’m not actually sure they rigorously challenge their own biases. 
Good parents and farmers make good neighbors; not always good scientists. 
 Definitely part of it but I don’t really think it’s enough. 
 If Zap Stream could offer search by country or languages as well

 A cool thing about FreeFrom I don’t know why other clients haven’t run with is the ability to filter by language… 
 It’s another Nostr client for notes!

@FreeFrom Official 𓅦 
 What languages do you speak? 
 Yeah, this doesn’t sound like a health hazard at all

 Hate it when that happens. It’s been happening to me a lot lately, but only with “new” (months old) follows, not people I followed long ago. 
 Some languages sound annoying. I'm not saying the people are bad people or anything but the audio... 
 I won’t exactly complain, but I’ll say that despite Vietnamese not being my favorite-sounding language, their way of singing IS one of my favorites; it’s flat out amazing and I love it so much. 

What I WILL complain about is they combine such superlative singing with annoying fake instruments like, all the time 😭 I long to find examples with acoustic instruments only 

Here’s an example so you can see what I’m talking about:

 The left accuses everyone of bigotry as a means of shutting down debate. 

The right accuses ever... 
 Being right and prevailing in a debate is very different from being right and shutting down a debate. 

Worse is being right in some cases, but not in the particular debate they use the talking point to shut down.
