checking out the crypto gaming magazine’s 2026 “most anticipated” list to see how blockchain gaming has been going

no, it took the photographer hours to line up that shot

i think i'm going to need more books

Companies with crypto involvement have contributed: ▶️ Crypto​.com: $20m ▶️ JP Morgan: $4.2m ▶️ Gemini: $1.5m ▶️ Shift4: $1m

covid has taken away most of my sense of taste and wow that is profoundly weird

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun

when i first saw this video i thought it was ross ulbricht

dammit. turns out the cold i got for Christmas is actually COVID 😞 almost made it six years without getting it, too

grateful for the books that made 2025 a little less hard

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

I'm grateful for independent media this year. Truly. I have appreciated coverage by too many to list.

Okay. Since I posted this yesterday, so many people have tried to convince me that we "won" against crypto and it's dead. Because they don't hear about it anymore. I really need y'all to pay attention. Crypto is still huge. Not only is it not dead, it continues to cause massive harm.

though some searches reveal disturbing news of human remains found in a freezer in Tempe, Arizona, which is unrelated to standard appliance use but highlights extreme scenarios

i got a cold for christmas and now i feel like there are cotton balls where my brain should be

the great cookieing of 2025 is complete! 550 cookies in 10 varieties

one of the best things about linzer cookies is that they come with built-in treats for the chef

None of this is “good faith political debate,” and it’s not a coincidence that all these outlets are suddenly interested in the same “discussion” at the same time. Treating women’s humanity like a thought exercise makes it that much easier to legislate away

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

planning baking for holiday cookie tins, asking questions like: if i make lemon curd x days in advance, i need to make y extra cups of it to still end up with ½ cup for cookies on the 24th. thank goodness i took multivariable calculus

has anyone else noticed that Trump seems to be getting younger and more uncanny with every crypto project illustration? (images ordered oldest to newest)

Newsletter: Terra’s Do Kwon gets 15 years, crypto banks get the green light, and the Trump family’s crypto grift expands even as one of their treasury companies goes off the rails www.citationneeded.news/issue-98/

there must be a name for using early investors' money to pay off newer investors

Q: How much do you need to spend on mattresses for it to get mentioned in a DOJ press release about your $11 million crypto theft? A: $638,000, which I did not realize was a plausible mattress budget

i fear the cats/yarn stereotype is well earned, and also ruthie may have learned to open drawers

Had a great Theory of Change chat with @molly.wiki about the crypto industry and Trump and also the very strong overlap between crypto advocates and Wikipedia haters. Here's the transcript, audio, and video: plus.flux.community/p/web3-has-b...

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

this cookie recipe has the serving size set to the entire batch, and honestly i think more recipes should be so realistic

I have purchased the PACER documents so everyone can read the impact statements submitted by victims of Do Kwon and the 2022 Terra/Luna meltdown. Collapses like these ruin lives. www.courtlistener.com/docket/67087...

It’s articles like this that make this week's annual renewal of @molly.wiki newsletter a no-brainer for me. When someone gives you clarity you can actually use, you keep that voice in your corner. "Digital asset treasury companies are running out of steam" www.citationneeded.news/digital-asse...

Newsletter: Crypto’s latest “infinite money machine” is the digital asset treasury company — a publicly traded firm that exists primarily to accumulate crypto. For a while, these stocks traded at hefty premiums to the underlying assets. But now, the trade is unraveling.

Google’s ad empire may be facing a forced breakup. @leolaporte.me, @padresj.bsky.social, @molly.wiki, and @wesley83.bsky.social unpack what is happening along with global moderation changes. Watch:

"aggressive accounting" is a fun euphemism

This is not the way, and @cnygren.bsky.social and I lay out in detail why it isn’t in this essay here. static1.squarespace.com/static/55577...

took about ten minutes for my uncaffeinated brain to remember felching is NOT the term for that urban legend involving small rodents and let me tell you that's not any way to start a day

cryptography is a mathematical system for transforming problems which aren't key-management problems into key-management problems
