Huge shoutout to @standwithcrypto! My 2nd awesome event in 3 wks. The future of crypto is bright 😎 When @ElizabethHa says jump, I say “how high will ETH climb this year”??

If Bitcoin hasn’t been a very good hedge against regular inflation, why are people so confident it’ll be a hedge against hyperinflation?

Beautiful event yesterday honoring Rep Brenda Lawrence. Incredible human with an exceptional career. (That’s me cut off on the far left!)
It was a pleasure to join the Coalition for Black Jewish Unity in Farmington Hills, MI and an honor to receive their award. Intolerance against injustice must be a consistent effort.

1/5 In the actual world, the Earth's rotation has measurably slowed since 1787, when Article II was drafted and the ratification process has began. So, this is not entirely hypothetical.
kind of fun puzzle for originalists and textualists: Constitution requires President to “have attained to the age of thirty five years.” Imagine Superman 🦸 slows the Earth’s rotation and revolution time by 75%. Does the real age of eligibility (eg in galactic years) decrease?

Tech can now help the deaf hear, blind see, paralyzed walk, & "locked-in" talk! The patient asked for a beer, to listen to the band Tool 'loud', for a head massage from his mother, and ordered a curry... & said "I love my cool son" independent.co.uk/tech/paral…
Why automate the soap dispenser? You wash your hands right after you touch it! 🤔

New broom, who dis? Since curling is mysterious to most — including me until 6 weeks ago — & since the US Men’s Olympic Team is facing possible elimination against Denmark tonight, I thought I’d take you mildly behind the scenes with some very amateur curling observations.
