 I'm actually very grateful for the pronouns thing.

Devs are giving users conversation pieces which aren't The Price of Bitcoin Has Changed.
 
 I love my cat. I am so nice to her. Lately though she enjoys biting the tip of my pointy nose fir... 
 This is so odd, my cat has started doing this recently too. Maybe they've learnt we're edible 👀

Is this morphic resonance?? 
 Historic day on nostr. 💪

Everyone is going to make the same pronoun jokes all day like 'my pronouns are bit/coin'.

It's like living in 2010s Twitter all over again lolol
 
 when i talk about lufta with engineers & VCs for some reason they get so enamoured with the fact ... 
 Wonder if one day I'll be a homeless man pointing at the lufta in the sky and telling a crackhead about how I once spoke to that guy on a long forgotten decentralised protocol. 
 You're my only hope 🫂 
 No one:
Pronouns in bio please

Can we have normal fucking polls??

We have zap polls at home 
 You can literally already have pronouns in your bio lol.
But we need to link to an external mini-cliemt just to have a poll lolol.
 
 I thought these lot were meant to be into supply/demand economics lol.
 
 I'm not using it until it has pronouns in bio too 😤 
 Yes, that is true.

I'm pretty sure zap polls serve the same purpose lol

However this will be a great first post for my 'Libs of Nostr' ragebait account on twitter.

 Someone has got to make this account ffs. I just think I've used up all my emails addresses already lol

 Who was making the phpBB / messageboards / ezboards nostr client?

I wonder how they are getting along.

I still think the Craigslist's discussion boards should be cloned, or maybe nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7x08grv can reach out to them to implement nostr login and tipping 👀

 Flotilla.social looks cool, but (as far as I can tell) you need your own relay to make a group(?) It points you to doing this quite well, but then you would have to already have a wallet / sats to make a group(?)

So unfortunately it's not Totally New Person friendly (especially if they're not a bitcoiner).
 
 'Non-crime hate incident' is a good name for a nostr client

 Barbour jackets are fantastic. (Sadly, I believe only one of their range is still made in their South Shields factory tho.)

 And you have to buy the hood separately lol. They're often on sale, in the UK at least. But they last absolutely ages and ages. 
 I don't know anyone who has paid full price. And there's loads of second hand ones are very cheap prices. (Maybe they prices have gone up since I last looked tho). 
 I had no idea a new president has to wait so long before taking power. Seems completely outrageous that the outgoing presidency can make huge decisions in this handing over period. 
 I actually never thought the stereotype was fair. Until now that is;) 
 your photo?? 
 Are you there?? 
 Amazing. 

Did you go in? 👀 
 Lovely!

I need to go there. And also Chartres, at some point. Not that I've been on holiday in 10 years lol

You got any other places planned? Santiago de Compostela? 

Probably lots of amazing small churches everywhere wherever you are in Spain actually.

I pretend I'm on holiday in my hometown and visit old churches as a new hobby lol.
(Although in my experience CoE churches are never open outside of mass times, and even then they are often only on Sundays) 
 What's first?

1) 100k

2) Nuclear war

But for real, I wish there were more content bots here 
 We should be onboarding these farmers.

 The YouTube recommended video strikes again with 'Dr. Toastie'. Some English bloke making toasties, with only 200 views on the video and 24 subscribers, on a crappy camera.

I think YouTube realises the charm of old YouTube is what made it special.

 I had another one with a similar view count, of a bus driver's average day. 
 Say hello from nostr or something in comments if you visit lol:)

Don't remember this being released. Stuck it on and was pleasantly surprised. Don't really get too many modern westerns to watch.

 I would like to know how much Jay Dyer would charge 'Nostr' to buy a YouTube channel sponsorship. He's a bitcoiner so would probably be happy to be paid in BTC lol:)

(I know he's not a platform, I also know he's not to everyone's tastes.)

But then I would have to set up a nostrgofundme to get the goal of costs lol 
 Yes, I think that would be ideal and potentially doable. He is already onboard with BTC and freedom of speech -type stuff :)

(He accepts on-chain BTC donations on his live streams). A rare instance of a bitcoiner who (mostly) doesn't make content about bitcoin. 
 A large number of the “Bitcoin influencers” from X aren’t here on Nostr. It’s clear their... 
 Please do t encourage them to come here lol 🙏🙏🙏🙏 
 *don't 

Don't 

Very important I correct that typo lol 
 We need a remigration of Bitcoiners back to Bitcointwitter  
 Too far lol? 
 That is what they do. They are they to shovel up Bitcoiners into their podcasts and point them at the sponsors lol. Very few have the skills to convince anyone or 'orange pill'. (Which tbf is quite a difficult task... All joking aside lol). 
 'Guys... My mom is on 4 cryptofascist blocklists'

- Bluesky Christmas dinner updates 
 Twitter is seen as a rage bait 'cesspit' by a lot of the public, they are quite vocal about this too. Hence bluesky's popularity. I think the purity spiral mechanisms of Bluesky the 'average users' are going to find themselves in, the block lists they will be shocked to find themselves on, will also be quite interesting to watch. I don't think a lot people will be as vocal about this tho.
