A brilliant example of how the psychological warfare being used against the American people affects all of us.

How many of these people who booed and illicit a strong emotional response to three simple words do you think read the 900 page plan?

I haven’t read it. I take no stance. I would be willing to bet though, that many of those booing will find some aspects they agree with, and other aspects they disagree with. Unfortunately, the psychological conditioning has already been planted and you have to choose a side in this silly game of red vs blue.

I don’t blame them. Propaganda is extremely effective. The corporate press is an enemy of the people. https://video.nostr.build/2f476a3a1970db9a81daf3e0f98326a04e81f04f3bec506d7e9665bc908e0854.mp4  nostr:note1vpphzpc8yzyxqxkg72c67slq4330xlzzx70cyaak745yqdtheh4swmslen


Dang!!! I ended up winging this batch but I generally followed this video (I made it exactly last year and it was delicious).

1. I slice the tomatoes (green and red) and bake them for about 25 minutes with olive oil, garlic, jalapeños, poblano, habanero, bell, white onion, salt and pepper.

2. Mash it up a bit and add to a pot over heat. Add a touch of apple cider vinegar, cilantro, salt/pepper and simmer for a while until soft.

3. Blend in food processor (or just mash) until it is your desired consistency. Then can it and boil until sealed (if you want to store for longer periods).

Will stay good unopened for at least a year. I still have some from last year and it is still great.

Hopefully this recent SS hack will finally show Americans that companies and governments are lousy at keeping our data safe.

We have normalized giving up WAY too much of our data/personal information at every step of the road. KYC ends up hurting far more people than it helps.

We must go back to privacy by default- as we did for all of human history. You cannot punish millions of innocent people to hypothetically catch a bunch of bad guys.


In '22 I've worked out a concept for a social app for cyclists, with ideas and sketches. It was based on a other social app for petrolheads (where I was the product owner on behalf of my client). Here's a rough sketch https://shares.sebastix.dev/GkkSMpoL.png

I know it's possible to build this with Nostr, but we need a decent NIP for activities (and the GPX data) and you're just set the first landmark for this 🙏 I'm a Strava power user as well, so I pretty well know what we have to build. As for now I'm very busy with nostr:npub1phpdev2d38u5hzs4jrsh360mevh0rjctu9669quy97wu23u8sqdqpfha0j which has my focus regarding Nostr dev work. The rest of the time I'm busy with client work, building fullstack solutions with #Drupal.

Dang.. I am shocked you haven’t noticed a decline. I thought this was affecting everyone. Maybe my search queries are not specific enough? I don’t get TikTok but a lot of my searches return Reddit results now (which I don’t even use).

Agreed on the news stuff fasho. But the point I was trying to make is that search engines are forcing these results down my throat every single time, when it isn’t even relevant to the search. Frustrating.


Never heard of it. Looking into it now. Thanks!


Not exactly relevant. Basically anything I search returns results from the same small group of sources. Generally every search has a news website in the top 5 even if the topic has nothing to do with news. (Ie. search “disk golfing in Wyoming”- get some random article about from CBS). The further down a rabbit hole you want to go, the worse it gets.

Have you not noticed the degradation of search engines? Maybe I am misremembering, but I don’t recall search being this garbage 10 years ago. You don’t even have the option to view “page 10” anymore since it’s just a “load more” button now.

I know Google made changes to how the search results are retrieved (prioritizing “trusted sources”)…but I am curious if part of it is just the sheer amount of content on the internet now- since all of the search engines suck as well.


Every single search engine absolutely sucks. Borderline unusable. Impossible to research anything from “obscure” resources.

Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Bing.

None of them return the results I want. (Normally just a bunch of NPC news results and other “trusted” sources).

AI is decent for search, but you can’t trust the info it feeds since it was trained using the same garbage.

Using commands and deep search terms helps, but still very difficult to find what you want.

Is the internet just cooked at this point?
Dead Internet Theory? How do you all find what you are looking for?

Beautiful shot


Reasonable take. You think we just continue (all war) by proxy?


**PREDICTION FOR SH*TS AND GIGS**

The uniparty continues hyping up Iran to propagandize citizens into complying with funding another endless unwinnable war.

Media continues the gleaming coverage of Kamala and mass brainwashing campaigns to complete the new image.

The 25th is FINALLY invoked (shortly before the election), ushering in Kamala as the official president.

Declaration of war with Iran.

Kamala becomes a “wartime president” and wins “re-election”

Crazy or nah?


Never. Peter Schiff told me it is going to zero.


And obviously.. this video is hilariously bad. But you get the point.


We all need to make the (very difficult) mental shift to a post-truth world ASAP.

I still find myself taking photos and videos I see online at face value even though I know AI has advanced to the point where it is indistinguishable from reality.

Moving forward we must assume everything we see online is fake (until cryptography can solve for this).

This is not easy and will take a conscious effort until the habit is formed. It is akin to the mental shift that takes place once you truly understand Bitcoin. nostr:note1lp2ww8z50x7ljf7shu03xe63ndx3pu69g5fj3gqudy5uq7mlujhss0xlum

I dabbled with posting this over the last few weeks because of the sensitivity of the topic, but the underlying message remains true regardless of your position - so… screw it.

We are truly fu*ked as a society when the #1 issue the majority of women (voters) care about is if they are able to abort their child.

Fiat has had devastating effects on the planet. You would think the birth rate falling off a cliff and inevitable societal collapse as a result would be more important- but here we are.

Fix the money ASAP.

BTCmedia lost me when they started shitcoining but I guess the conference/site/mag is a net positive in the grand scheme. Any press is good press!

Bitcoin {should} be 100% apolitical in the partisan sense. It’s weird the libs have been so hostile considering all of the ways it can fix the problems they see in the world. But… at the very root, Bitcoin it is THE political as Cason speaks about.

I would say using rhetoric like “red hats” does nothing to heal the (largely social media driven) divide the country faces - esp if you are actually seeking input from the other side. We are all Americans getting fucked equally the same, by (largely) the same people. Let’s start seeing each other as such and stop playing the identity politics game (this includes myself and past rhetoric). Definitely continue to speak up against what you believe in though. We need more open dialogue!

Credit where credit is due. Though I am curious about who we gave up in return (haven’t followed). Can’t forget the 1-1 trade the same admin made between a WNBA player who brought weed into Russia and The Merchant of Death. As for Assange- obviously incredible, I do wonder what the plea deal was though.

Lastly, not sure how the Bitcoin ETF would have anything to do with the admin? The SEC was essentially forced into approving it because they got sued by Greyscale, right?

You can hate Trump all you want, I have no problem with that. But you can’t deny how hostile this administration has been towards Bitcoin and cryptography.


Anything considered popular opinion 10 years ago is “right wing” now.

I was just listening to Jim Rickards and he predicted a Harris/Obama ticket.

Then Harris gets shoved out after taking the oath and Obama gets his 3rd (4th really) term without a 22nd violation.

Dems are the party of projection so all the talk about Trump wanting to a third term suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Thoughts? I know half of you don’t give a shit but I got my popcorn ready for this clown show. https://image.nostr.build/dd74a5deb59eee0290b88a0db20b3e2056501a199706257585c2328760a12795.jpg

Nothing great yet.

It’s actually quite annoying because three I’ve used (Coracle, Plebeian Market, and Shopstr) don’t carry over my listings to other clients.

Nostr needs a better NIP for shopping so that all of the products display on all of the clients.

Sounded like Trump was taking shots at Bukele last night. He didn’t mention names, but strongly suggested it and followed up by invoking El Salvador.

Curious to hear his Bitcoin policy next week. Will orange man and commit to backing the dollar with orange coin?

He doesn’t like losing, and maybe El Salvador winning will inspire him to actually take a Bitcoin strategy seriously.

I don’t hold out much hope, but the fact these questions are being asked shows how far we have come.

Drawing false equivalence to something I never argued and making assumptions about my beliefs.

This doesn’t seem serious or productive. Shame… because I enjoy having debates and believe the world needs more of it. However, it becomes impossible to move forward when one argues in bad faith and blatantly ignores the actual topic posed.

I will close by trying to understand your position, which seems to be “we already have our rights infringed on, so we may as well let the state infringe more?”

Unsure how this is relevant to my question.

The assassin could have made the shot with a bolt-action, which is considered "not a scary military-style weapon!" (yet).

Some of the deadliest attacks in history have used pistols and shotguns, which are also deemed "not scary military-style weapons!" (yet).

Your friends are right. Regulations infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens, and criminals will do crazy things regardless. Seizing 20 million+ AR-15s that were never, and would never, be used to commit such atrocities does not seem like a plausible solution to this problem.

So, my question remains. Why don't we learn what prescriptions these lunatics are on?

In addition to what has already been mentioned - I would add that women having children later and later in life had a big impact.


Why is it that every time a psychopath commits a heinous act - the media and politicians are fast to single out the weapon (the most popular rifle in the United States by the way) - but never mention what meds the person was pumped full of?

Guns don’t kill people. People do.

So, what the heck is the common denominator between them all?

Fink begins the interview by saying what changed is that he studied #bitcoin.

He clearly didn’t go far enough down the rabbit hole. I think what changed was that he saw an opportunity to make more fiat.

Yes. It was phenomenal. He lays out a pretty strong case that more than half of all jobs are useless.

The author is a commie-anarchist so I couldn’t really get behind his “solutions” (heck he doesn’t really even seem to understand the root problem)- but it is 100% worth the read.

*When you hear the word Myanmar, **beautiful beaches and crystal clear water** is probably not the first thing that comes to mind.*

*Think again, because **southern Myanmar is home to some of the most stunning and untouched beaches in all of southeast Asia**. While these beaches certainly rival that of Thailand, the Maldives, and Hawaii — lack of infrastructure and tourism to the area have made them quite difficult to find if you don't know what to look for.*

***I spent the time getting lost, asking for help, and wandering for hours so you wouldn't have to**. Google Maps is hardly reliable in these small, remote villages, so buckle up and get ready to explore the best of southern Myanmar. Here’s a look at my top three, hidden beaches in southern Myanmar; and why you should reconsider that trip to Thailand in favor of the lesser-traveled, Myanmar.*

### #3 **Tizit Beach** - A Mountainous Escape

![](https://image.nostr.build/6a6f5cb32dfbfcd9a2efa80f139fb4aedbe4f0536f39d5d909e8e747e685a649.jpg)

**Tizit Beach is located about one hour south of the city of Dawei.** Getting here is quite a challenge and not recommended for the faint of heart. The roads are dangerous, unlit, and sandy; only make the trip if you are confident on a motorbike and double-check to make sure the bike is in proper condition with working brakes.

As a reward for your troubles, **expect to see very few, if any, tourists at Tizit Beach**. The only people we saw were a few local children and fisherman off the shore. **You will need to rent a motorcycle and traverse across a pretty steep mountain pass to get to Tizit Beach**. Expect the journey to take about an hour in each direction.

### Directions:

![](https://image.nostr.build/274014cd10000bad2dbc910cb7004f2d8c1c5e72919654aac7bc0e55384137b1.jpg)

1. Begin by crossing over the water to the west of Dawei.
2. Heading south towards Nyinmaw, stay on the road for about 30 minutes.
3. Keep an eye on the right side for a small sign marking Tizit Beach. You will likely miss the sign on the first pass through as I did.
4. After locating the Tizit Beach sign, take the right turn and continue over the mountain for about 20 minutes.

**Begin by crossing over the water to the west of Dawei** and taking a left **heading south towards Nyinmaw**. As you are riding down the peninsula from Dawei there is really only one main road to follow. **Stay on the road for about 30 minutes** keeping an eye on the **right side for a small sign marking Tizit Beach.**

You will likely miss the sign on the first pass through as I did. Pay attention to your GPS and note that **if you have passed Nyinmaw, you have traveled too far**. After locating the Tizit Beach sign **you will notice a school playground and a road leading toward the mountains**. Take the right turn and **continue over the mountain** for about 20 minutes:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_faf700c81966422c83433146f44c1a9d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1114,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_faf700c81966422c83433146f44c1a9d~mv2.jpg

At the **bottom of the mountain pass**, you will come to a fork in the road with unclear directions. Going left will lead into a small cemetery and dead end. The road left looks like this:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_f46feb22b39b405fb7bc0a4eb8aafef1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1974,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_f46feb22b39b405fb7bc0a4eb8aafef1~mv2.jpg

**Head right at the fork**, which will take you through a small residential area to the waterfront. As with many of the beaches in the area, there will be substantial flooding in the morning. **Coming after 15:00 is probably best.** As you arrive, expect to be greeted with panoramic views of the lush mountains, a vast delta plain, and crystal blue water:

The sand on Tizit is a brownish-orange color that appears to morph into a deep red around sunset. It is soft and clean. The beach is **much wider than others in the area, allowing you more flexibility to set up camp** away from the tide. In the ocean, **the water is warm enough for a swim** and the current was nothing to worry about for an experienced swimmer. There are no lifeguards, so obviously **swim at your own risk**.

A handful of wooden fishing vessels were docked off the coast and **the locals were super friendly** to us:

One of **the best parts of Tizit Beach is a sunset cruise** along the water.  **The sand will harden up** near the shore and you can bring a motorcycle down to ride on it. This was surely **my best memory over the thirty days I spent in Myanmar**.

**Sunsets on Tizit are epic.** The whole place turns red.  **Don’t stay too late because the mountain pass is not lit** and **the ride home in the dark is definitely sketchy.** If you do hang around until sunset, I would urge you to **be prepared to leave immediately after the sun drops** and **make sure the lights on your motorcycle are working**.

## #2- Grandfather Beach: Popular, but Plentiful

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_63f0e543e364439f8e9ad24a3f491300~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_986,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_63f0e543e364439f8e9ad24a3f491300~mv2.jpg

***Number two** on my list is one **of the more striking in Dawei**. It is **quite popular with locals**, but **large enough to not be overcrowded**.*

Grandfather Beach is **another hard find, but worth the trouble** once you do make it. Getting here requires about 3 hours each direction on a motorcycle from the city of Dawei; assuming you stop to take some photos and eat along the way.

### Directions:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_0a4efadee5574b099016c90806e73989~mv2.png

To get to Grandfather Beach, **head south on the main drag from Dawei** all the way down the peninsula for several hours. It is a long and **winding journey through the jungle**. At some point the road will cut across the peninsula and run parallel to the coastline. **Once you get to the top of a hill and can finally spot the ocean** you are close. You are **looking for a small town called Kyauk Wap Pyin** at the bottom of the hill:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_e18dcbc8f59e4bea9cb381556903fc87~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_5472,h_3648,al_c,q_90/57b6dd_e18dcbc8f59e4bea9cb381556903fc87~mv2.webp

Once you find the town, **take a right heading from the east side of the land to the west. Continue on a small road through the town for about twenty minutes until arriving at the fishing village on the west coast** pictured below:

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_97f3cd18cb3541479fa883ca5f9c720f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_986,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_97f3cd18cb3541479fa883ca5f9c720f~mv2.jpg

From the small fishing village above, **it's on you to find the orange-dirt road leading to the beach.** It’s steep, slick, and pretty crazy to ride over. I had a lot of fun with it. **The road to the beach is on the right side of the town** if you are looking at the sea from the village. Grandfather Beach is no stranger to daytime flooding. **If you arrive past noon expect to get waist-deep in water,** crossing from the parking area to the beach. You will only be able to ride on the beach in the early morning.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_9d554a9fd8ed49a884e867d431e77f0b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_986,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_9d554a9fd8ed49a884e867d431e77f0b~mv2.jpg

The flooding is not all that bad, though. **The restaurants are well acclimated** to the rising water levels and have situated themselves accordingly. There are also a **few swings set up on the beach** at the perfect height above the water. **The sand at Grandfather Beach was the softest** of any of the three mentioned in this article. It is **a fairly popular spot** for locals, so **don’t expect a completely empty beach**. As a result, it wasn't nearly as clean as Tizit, and it is also quite a bit narrower.

**If you don't have a place to stay the night** near Grandfather Beach, **watching the sunset is unobtainable** (unless you take the risk of a long and dark ride back to the city. I would urge against it). Grandfather Beach **certainly has the most infrastructure**, which means you will have plenty of options for places to eat and drink. **Plan to make an entire day out of your trip to Grandfather** to get the most from the experience.

## #1- The Mergui Archipelago: An Unexplored Haven

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_16307064d46c48338a6ba3f7b24b3453~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1880,h_1254,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_16307064d46c48338a6ba3f7b24b3453~mv2.jpg

*This will come as no surprise for anyone who has been to Myeik. **The hundreds of remote islands in the Mergui Archipelago take the cake** when it comes to beaches in the region.*

Had my spontaneity from going to Yangon with no plans, and browsing a satellite map for cool areas not happened, I would have never stumbled upon **the magnificence of the Mergui Archipelago**. Hardly any information exists on the web and tourism in the area is extremely limited. While **many of the islands are completely off-limits**, quite **a few of them have wonderful private beaches** to take advantage of.

Realizing that **many of the people I spoke to during my month in Myanmar had no idea this type of scenery existed** in Myanmar; **I feel an obligation to spread the word** and encourage others to see it for themselves. The best way to visit is by taking an **island-hopping tour from the city of Myeik**.  The tours range in price and length, but **expect to spend a couple of hundred dollars for a 2-3 day tour**, all the way up to thousands of dollars for week-long yacht expeditions. It seemed **pretty standard that food, a tent, and drinks are provided in the booking fees**; but always double-check with the agency you book with.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_cd50272d1993429da7feaa2947015dd9~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_986,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_cd50272d1993429da7feaa2947015dd9~mv2.jpg

During my five days, I came across only three foreign tourists. The guide told me **many of the islands we visited have only ever been seen by hundreds of foreigners at most**. The area is so secluded and undocumented that it was even unknown to several of the Burmese friends I made over my travels. **At times I felt a little intrusive considering how little tourism comes through the area**. At one of the islands we visited, **we got to interact with a group of settlers who are 100% dependent on the sea, don't use electricity, and cannot even communicate with the Burmese tour guides**.  Despite my reservations, you could feel a genuine connection.  Though we were on their island, they were welcoming, friendly, and happy to interact with us. Back in the city, **the locals I talked to were happy to see outsiders enjoying their hometown**. They were glad others could come and appreciate this little hidden gem on earth.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_2339118e0f4c4977b9bf058b593f690b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1114,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_2339118e0f4c4977b9bf058b593f690b~mv2.jpg

**I ended up camping on an island for a couple of nights** and the only other person on the island with me one night was the island caretaker and his ten puppies. **Each day, a small boat would take us to several of the surrounding islands for swimming, beach time, and snorkeling** before returning back to the campsite. If you are SCUBA certified this is **a fantastic area for diving;** as it is home to several impressive coral reefs and marine species.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/57b6dd_85e4ea34212c4447a32b5976063ba6f1~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_1480,h_1114,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/57b6dd_85e4ea34212c4447a32b5976063ba6f1~mv2.jpg

The whole experience of island hopping down south is quite surreal. Knowing **this is one of the few places on earth that has not really been explored** gives you a really unique feeling out there in the middle of the sea.  I can absolutely say **this should be the top priority on your next trip to Asia**.

**Myanmar truly is a remarkable country,** plagued with an unfortunate history. **The people I met were some of the friendliest and most optimistic in the world**; regardless of the hands they’ve been dealt. While this guide covers some wonderful beaches; and I guarantee you will have a great time traveling the country— **my main goal is that everyone who visits Myanmar will sit down and connect with the locals** on a deeper level. **They have some remarkable stories and I have made friends for life**.

Enjoy the trip.

Hidden Beaches of Southern Myanmar: A Guide to Tizit, Grandfather, and the Mergui Archipelago

Thinking of heading to Thailand for your next Southeast Asia escape? Hold up. Myanmar has some seriously underrated gems that'll blow your mind. From secret temples to untouched beaches, this untapped country is calling your name. Think again before booking the Thailand trip and consider the charm of Myanmar for your next adventure.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qqxnzdesx5er2dpjx5erwve4qgspev22kv6cwm7falphmqut52ru79l94hxvkg9ld4ylnk5kjh2jgcsrqsqqqa28q6dqjh

### **Artist Statement**

***Нет войне: No to War***

***"Нет войне"*** is an environmental art project created by continuously walking back and forth for several hours until the grass lay flat. Each letter measures roughly 12’ x 6’. The letters have been slightly exaggerated in Adobe Lightroom for digital clarity. The phrase *"Нет войне"* translates to "No to War."

![](https://image.nostr.build/97911e9170f0a65ae84f13fc1adcdcdad9576f35f32c0418426c0d0a3cf1d44c.jpg)

**The piece aims to give a voice to the citizens around the world** standing up against tyranny and destruction. Nature always overruns land art with time. It overruns the rubbles of a war-torn country. It will overrun civilization long after we are gone. This earthwork may only be visible for a couple of weeks; the signs may only be held up for a couple of seconds; the remnants of a devastating war may only be visible for a couple of decades. But one thing remains true: human lives will never be restored. Facts should never be forgotten. Invasions should never be tolerated. Freedom will prevail.

The artwork reflects on the impermanence of human constructs, whether they are artistic expressions or the scars left by warfare. It serves as a testament to the strength and determination of those who oppose oppression and violence.

Through this work, I aim to not only capture a moment of protest but also invite viewers to reflect on the broader implications of war and peace. The piece is a call to action, urging us to remember the human cost of war and to strive for a world where freedom and peace prevail.

> Follow-up images regarding the status of the land will be provided over time. Hopefully, the war will be over before the piece fades away.

"Нет войне" - Artist Statement + Photos [2022]

"Нет войне" is a poignant land art piece symbolizing resistance and hope amidst conflict. Created through a meditative and labor-intensive process, the flattened grass forms a powerful visual statement against war. The temporary nature of the work mirrors the fleeting moments of peace and the relentless passage of time. As nature reclaims the land, the message of the piece endures, a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for freedom.

It's only about 50 kilometers from the downtown and makes for an easy day trip. Hop on the subway and get there in an hour. Zhujiajiao has canals, bridges, and ancient buildings, offering a glimpse into the town's rich history. Take a boat ride along the canals for the best views of traditional houses and temples. Then explore the town on foot and get lost in attractions like the Kezhi Garden, Yuanjin Temple, and the Qing Dynasty Post Office. Don't forget to grub-up with all of the great food vendors nearby.

China Art Museum is absolutely worth the trip solely for its awe-inspiring architecture. The towering structure casts a tall shadow over bystanders. Step inside and you'll find a world of art waiting. The blend of permanent and temporary exhibits offers hours of art-gazing. Give yourself at least half a day to fully immerse in the creative haven in Pudong. To get to the China Art Museum, you can take Line 2 of the Shanghai Metro and get off at the Pudong Avenue Station (Chinese: 浦东大道站). The museum is located near Exit 4 of the station.

Hands down my favorite place in Shanghai. This spot is the go-to for a perfect weekend under the sun. You'll find me setting up a blanket with beer, cards, and snacks, along with a slackline and spike ball setup nearby, surrounded by dogs running around, enjoying the company of old and new friends. When you want a little movement enjoy some climbing, skating, running, or basketball after work. The West Bund is an oasis amidst the chaos of the city. But beware -  its popularity is growing, so tread lightly.

Nights under the Lupu Bridge are where it's at, man. Hop on your scooter and cruise over for the ultimate skyline views. Stroll along the walkway, munch on street food, sip drinks, and groove to live tunes. Street vendors serve up traditional snacks and crafts, and the vibe gets lit with spontaneous performances and games. Get ready to soak up the electric energy of Shanghai's Lupu Bridge at night."

An Expats Guide to the Best Spots in Shanghai: 002

Shanghai's the real deal - a city so packed with sights, smells, and flavors that it's hard to keep count. If you want to dodge the tourist traps and experience the city like a local expat, there are plenty of hidden gems waiting to be discovered. In part 2 of this ongoing series, I'll be taking you on a tour of the best places in Shanghai in bite-sized guides that'll help you eat, drink, and explore like a pro.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq893f2entpm0e8huxlvr3w3g0nchukkuejeqhak5n7w6j62a2frzqqxnzde38ymnqwpcxgcrxdfhfadh39

## No. 1 - The Less Touristy "Bund"

![](https://image.nostr.build/ec45a7a71faf6504321f984665123ecda239c16fcb267286316536802e000ddc.jpg)

The Bund is certainly a must-see if you are traveling to Shanghai for the first time - and it will be at the top of every travel guide out there, for good reason - there are equally as stunning alternatives away from the crowds. If you want to enjoy the skyline from a more relaxed perspective, consider the Pudong side of the river. There are parks, basketball courts, and green spaces along the riverbank for you to chill at and take in the sights. You can also hop on a ferry or a sightseeing boat to cross the river and admire the views from the renowned Bund.

---
## No. 2 - Walks Along Golden Street

![](https://image.nostr.build/9e396a1ba9d2b6ea3077d6f1d99d9a069f5df1f455f774cd2d693d857f5e01e2.jpg)

This one is out in Gubei, a suburban area in the west of Shanghai. It may be a bit of a trek, but it is worth it if you are looking for a more relaxing and peaceful pedestrian street in the city. Golden Street, or Jinxiu Road, is a great place to walk a dog, grab an afternoon drink, or enjoy a romantic dinner with your loved one. While it may be a bit far from downtown, it makes for a great joyride on your scooter or bicycle.

---
## No. 3 - Moganshan Road Graffiti Wall

![](https://image.nostr.build/92b22c11564e3732f14a10c1701f20d64e1baf444d4a8e851e3e4543f8aa5284.jpg)

Moganshan Road is a gem for all things art. It is home to M50, the best art district in the city, where you will find dozens of galleries, studios, and workshops showcasing a wide range of art. There are also plenty of cool spots scattered around the area, particularly the graffiti wall. The wall is a welcome contrast to some of the drab and monotonous architecture found around the city; with colorful display of street art featuring various styles and themes. Stop by and admire the works of local and international artists, and even jump in to join them in adding your own mark. The wall is constantly evolving, so you can always find something new.

---
## No. 4 - Jiaotong University in the Fall

![](https://image.nostr.build/9e0873ed9b9c40254f6d5f5522ded5a62d0dd88b073fb18c346598c3a9dd9269.jpg)

Easily one of the best spots in town for catching rows of bright yellow and red leaves. Jiaotong University is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in China. The campus is located in Xuhui District and has a mix of Chinese and Western architectural styles to admire as well. Try to visit in late October or early November for the best leaf-peeping. You can walk along the tree-lined paths, set up a blanket in the field for a picnic, or simply take photos and enjoy the scenery.

---
## No. 5 - Day Drinking at Highline

![](https://image.nostr.build/9a722c7646e3a232c71f083bfe42120954f7ce47b790e1140f6f91747fb08302.jpg)

Hands down one of the top five rooftop bars in the city, along with Bar Rouge, Kartel, and others; Highline is a go-to-spot that offers great views of the city and excellent food. Find it on the sixth floor of the Ascott Hotel in Huaihai Road in Xintiandi. Nothing beats a laid back Saturday afternoon at Highline. I prefer the views during the day, though it is equally as nice a night. Sip cocktails, wine, or beer, and enjoy the music and vibe. Highline is a perfect place to spend an afternoon.

### Artist Statement

**Invasive: Chaos and Order**

"**Invasive**" is an environmental art project inspired by the concept of "Site / Non-Site," developed by Robert Smithson, a pioneer of Land art in the 1960s. A **Site** is a location outside the gallery, where the natural materials are collected and documented. A **Non-Site** is a body of objects and documentation inside the gallery, where the natural materials are transformed and displayed as sculpture.

**The project is centered around Teller Lake #5**, a location where human intervention has disrupted the natural balance of the ecosystem. Uneasy yet harmonious, eerie yet relaxing. Tall trees invade the path leading to the lake and begin to take over. Broken glass protrudes into walkways. Large slabs of concrete displaced on the beach. In 2013, goldfish are introduced to the lake by man, multiplying rapidly and threatening native species. The ecosystem is broken and infested. Man begins to plot solutions to this problem. In 2015, hungry pelicans arrive and consume most of the goldfish, restoring order to the lake without human intervention. Nature wins again.

![](https://image.nostr.build/317cbff1454d36f1113004b0c029758a1915241c77472e2a064ad0c001f6936f.jpg)

> The Site features large slabs of concrete on the beach, presumably left by human activity. One of these slabs is in perfect alignment with the lake, creating an unexpected visual connection.

**The Non-Site of this project is located in the University of Colorado Visual Arts Complex stairwell**, where the materials and impressions from the Site are reinterpreted and re-contextualized.

![](https://image.nostr.build/6d9e0ee28e0935c5b7e63b28b6552f8ccaef18030fe11c5e6f488b71eb1f49b1.jpg)

The Non-Site consists of the concrete slab found at Teller Lake, with a circular dirt ring, representing the slab and the circle found at the Site. The slab is raised off the floor by a cinder block, offering an abstract view of the piece from above. The work also includes photographs and maps of the Site, as well as samples from the area and an eerie audio-track ringing through the echoey space.

> "Invasive" delves into the complex relationship between humans and nature by examining the impact of human intervention on Teller Lake #5. The project highlights the tension between the natural and artificial, and encourages viewers to think about the consequences of our actions on the environment. By exploring this issue, "Invasive" invites us to consider the delicate balance between nature and human activity, and how our choices can have far-reaching effects on the world around us.

“Invasive” (Site/Non-Site) - Artist Statement + Photos [2016]

"Invasive" is an artistic project that explores the concept of "Site / Non-Site" by contrasting a disrupted natural environment (Teller Lake #5) with its reinterpreted and recontextualized representation in a gallery setting. Through the use of concrete slabs, photographs, audio, and samples, the project highlights the tension between the natural and artificial, and invites viewers to contemplate the impact of human action.

Hands down my favorite place in Shanghai. This spot is the go-to for a perfect weekend under the sun. You'll find me setting up a blanket with beer, cards, and snacks, along with a slackline and spike ball setup nearby, surrounded by dogs running around, enjoying the company of old and new friends. When you want a little movement enjoy some climbing, skating, running, or basketball after work. The West Bund is an oasis amidst the chaos of the city. But beware -  its popularity is growing, so tread lightly.

China Art Museum is absolutely worth the trip solely for its awe-inspiring architecture. The towering structure casts a tall shadow over bystanders. Step inside and you'll find a world of art waiting. The blend of permanent and temporary exhibits offers hours of art-gazing. Give yourself at least half a day to fully immerse in the creative haven in Pudong. To get to the China Art Museum, you can take Line 2 of the Shanghai Metro and get off at the Pudong Avenue Station (Chinese: 浦东大道站). The museum is located near Exit 4 of the station.


"Take a boat ride along the canals for the best views of traditional houses and temples."

For a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city cruise to Zhujiajiao -- an epic water town dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It's only about 50 kilometers from the downtown and makes for an easy day trip. Hop on the subway and get there in an hour. Zhujiajiao has canals, bridges, and ancient buildings, offering a glimpse into the town's rich history. Take a boat ride along the canals for the best views of traditional houses and temples. Then explore the town on foot and get lost in attractions like the Kezhi Garden, Yuanjin Temple, and the Qing Dynasty Post Office. Don't forget to grub-up with all of the great food vendors nearby.

### Artist Statement

**Invasive: Chaos and Order**

"**Invasive**" is an artistic project inspired by the concept of "Site / Non-Site," developed by Robert Smithson, a pioneer of Land art in the 1960s. A **Site** is a location outside the gallery, where the natural materials are collected and documented. A **Non-Site** is a body of objects and documentation inside the gallery, where the natural materials are transformed and displayed as sculpture.

**The project is centered around Teller Lake #5**, a location where human intervention has disrupted the natural balance of the ecosystem. In 2013, goldfish were introduced to the lake, multiplying rapidly and threatening native species. In 2015, hungry pelicans arrived and consumed most of the goldfish, restoring some order to the lake.

> The Site also features large slabs of concrete on the beach, presumably left by human activity. One of these slabs is aligned with the lake, creating an unexpected visual connection.

The Non-Site of this project is located in the University of Colorado Visual Arts Complex stairwell, where the materials and impressions from the Site are reinterpreted and recontextualized.

The Non-Site consists of the concrete slab from Teller Lake, with a circle cut out, representing the slab and the circle found at the Site. The slab is placed on the floor, offering an abstract view of the lake from above. The Non-Site also includes photographs and maps of the Site, as well as samples from the area.

> "Invasive" delves into the complex relationship between humans and nature by examining the impact of human intervention on Teller Lake #5. The project highlights the tension between the natural and artificial, and encourages viewers to think about the consequences of our actions on the environment. By exploring this issue, "Invasive" invites us to consider the delicate balance between nature and human activity, and how our choices can have far-reaching effects on the world around us.

## No. 6 - Days on The West Bund

https://image.nostr.build/3bf6bd34d2c402c546fa2ed1f8d348237d5bb22a556503aa88c2c0e0cf30bc84.jpg

Hands down my favorite place in Shanghai. This spot is the go-to for a perfect weekend under the sun. You'll find me setting up a blanket with beer, cards, and snacks, along with a slackline and spike ball setup nearby, surrounded by dogs running around, enjoying the company of old and new friends. When you want a little movement enjoy some climbing, skating, running, or basketball after work. The West Bund is an oasis amidst the chaos of the city. But beware -  its popularity is growing, so tread lightly.

It’s time to fully commit to the future I envision.

As nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe says, “The time you put into the existing system, only strengthens that system”

I want no part in strengthening that system.

If any of my Nostr connections can help me get in touch with someone at River, I’d be super grateful! There was no option to include a cover letter, and I’d love to share more about what I bring to the table.

12 - which led into 9. Mistakes were certainly made. I am glad, though. Without these mistakes, I am not sure I would be where I am today.


Wow. I feel nothing. Don’t even look at the price anymore.

It’s crazy what 8 years will do to the soul.


Thanks for the assistance gents. Goes to show how little users of everyday technology (be it any domain) understand what they are using.

Big ups to all of the engineers, computer scientists, and developers making the world an easier place to navigate for the normies.

This is what gives me hope for Bitcoin being adopted by the masses.. because I am darn sure the vast majority of people won’t ever understand it.

Piece of history: Julian Assange's 2010 Oslo Freedom Forum talk, delivered the last time he was a free man

It's a remarkable talk, I suggest watching it

He gave it right after releasing Collateral Murder, before his ability to travel was frozen

Six months before the banking blockade, one year before the Bitcoin fundraiser began

But most of the points remain fundamental

"The greater the power, the more need there is for transparency"

First it wasn’t happening.

Then it was happening but you are a racist if you want a border.

Now the mask is slowly coming off to what many Bitcoiners already knew.

Unchecked mass immigration has always been a last ditch effort to save the failing western economies.

I just wish they’d have opened up a debate on the intentions and economic merit, instead of playing some stupid red vs blue game. (Both parties want it)

Call me old fashioned, but I think it’s illegal to fund foreign wars without a congressional declaration of war (because that’s literally in the Constitution and hasn’t happened since 1942), and yet we’ve been embroiled in illegal forever wars since before you were born.

Anyway, have a great evening.


Trump Derangement Syndrome combined with Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome is going to create a level of cognitive dissonance in the mainstream media like we’ve never seen. 😭


This is how the majority of #bitcoin (or at least “crypto”) holders think.

Fiat brain rot. Demonetization of housing cannot happen fast enough.

Real estate is not money. Real estate is a naturally depreciating liability— not an asset. Real estate should go down in value over time, not up.

If the money wasn’t broken, people would understand this concept very easily.

He will end up selling off his RE portfolio to reacquire the bitcoin at a higher price.
