 I hate to tell you this because I did not wanna believe it either but crocs rule 
 GA hows are my frens doing today! 🧡🫂 
 Cranky 
 I’m sick of the political back-and-forth without anyone actually verifying anything and then realizing that the whole Don’t trust verify thing is complete bullshit because no one does it and everyone just believes these stupid headlines without digging in for any context or what the story was nothing and I find myself doing it now on both sides And then they’re asking me to explain it to them? Fuck that. 
 And amen to all of that I just feel like sometimes I should try to say something that is constructive that might help but I don’t think it is going to change anyone’s mind at this point 
 Wow, that makes you feel really good about getting zapped huh? 
 Damn I AM cranky. #AMA

 One of my children is relentless, never can just accept an answer, but keeps pecking away to create more drama. Finally had to get myself out of that by saying have a good day. 
 And politics are just becoming too much. I am gonna have to walk away from Twitter. I am tired of feeling like I can’t say anything about anything without being called one of those. One of what one of the people who actually reads beyond the headlines? One who refuses to listen to anything except the actual candidates speaking? Where everybody else they take the headline and I think it’s disingenuous as fuck

Would you like to spend $32 in tolls to save 43 seconds on your trip? 
 Seems exorbitant

 I love it! 
 I’m not sure if Nostr is aware of what’s going on in the #WordPress community right now, but ... 
 Very interesting 
 As soon as these are available to buy I’m gonna get one and absolutely beat the fuck out of it ... 
 Would you mind videoing that whenever you do it? 
 That sounds complicated Ben but when I’m ready, I know where to go always 
 Amazing 
 That is very pretty 
 Nice love to see that I may go to the Fort Lauderdale one at the end of the month 
 Omg ! I would absolutely love that! It’s like the big fancy yacht show 
 #GM #Coffee I’m  awake, it’s time to get completely organized and packed for the market on Sunday if you’re in Florida come and visit me on Lincoln road in #Miami on Sunday I accept Bitcoin! Let’s Go!

 So I met one of the dozen or so people who had won an entire bitcoin on Fold yesterday. I saw it ... 
 Oh my God that revs up some jealousy in me and I’m not a jealous person generally unless you’ve won an entire bitcoin on Fold 
 I loved Fold more than anything I mean, I still use it. I personally racked up over 13 million sats but yeah, it’s sad 
 I mean, it is still free Bitcoin 
 I’ve just used it as my debit card and yeah, buy Amazon gift cards with it 
 I have not gotten over 20 sats on the daily spin. I’m actually at the belief that the wheel knows me it knows I did well at the beginning. It’s like you’re fine now. 
 Here I just supplemented your daily spin with 11 sats 
 25 for my big spin today whoa 
 lol 😂 yep 
 Where are you 
 Wow, and I’m from Michigan originally 
 Oh my God, where is this? 
 Wow, so this is happening because of solar flares, coming off the sun 
 I think it’s coming I had to kind of stop watching because it’s scaring me a bit 
 Status quo thinking is for losers. 

I don’t give a single fuck about how things are or why the... 
 But sometimes when you understand the why you understand why they can’t be that way 
 Here I am this morning. Sad. Devastated .  #Bitcoin #GM #Coffee

 Losing that plushy did it 
 It’s a stuffed plushy of Yellow and it was sold on Scarce.city

 Giving a single shit about the identity of SN is a waste of shit.

Stop being a Karen and do some... 
 Yeah, I just don’t care that much. I mean I’ve looked into it. I don’t know what else there is to care about here. 
 Well, the other thing I think is that it’s almost like meeting yellow I don’t want yellow because he is a yellow stuffed animal as far as I’m concerned 
 I just spent eight minutes having a verbal conversation with my ChatGpt about artwork and ways to add action and light to abstract art and she actually gave me a few good ideas, here is the before, and I’m gonna work on it for a while and see if I can make it interesting or different or surprising or something like that. #AI #Chatgpt #artstr

 We’ve got a strong breeze here as well, but nowhere near what I expected by now 
 🇺🇸 Granbury (Texas) residents are sueing Marathon Digital over noise pollution from #bitcoi... 
 If I’m not mistaken, I think I read this story and it’s not a great one 
 No kidding and I believe this complaint has been going on for a bit 
 Let me try that again I need to win this @thebitcoinconf @BitcoinAmsterdam @UNCLE ROCKSTAR can you fit this in your luggage? https://scarce.city/auctions/yellow-confused-cat-plushie 
 Whoops 
 I’ve now spent an hour and used every single card I own trying to buy a train ticket in Zurich ... 
 Remember, the first thing about Bitcoin to me was oh my God this is gonna help international transactions so much but it doesn’t 
 @UNCLE ROCKSTAR do you know anyone from Chicago who is going to Switzerland? 
 It’s a fun rabbit hole sometimes, but it doesn’t mean anything 
 #GM #Coffee at the pool before hurricane #Miami https://i.nostr.build/lKpCeSXOsX6qogi3.jpg

 Does anyone here have any up dog? 
 Nothin dog what’s up with you? Bahaha 
 Ever have a dream so fucked up and random you think your brain might be mentally ill? 
 I mean, what is mentally ill lotta crazy things zip through our mind. None of it means it’s real. You are not your thoughts. You are just thinker of your thoughts. 
 Empanadas = Deliciousness #foodstr

 Having kids makes your childhood even more confusing in retrospect. 

Like this is how easy it is... 
 I have also had these thoughts and realized we are all children inside. Meaning we pretend to be grownups.
