Learning eye-talian exclusively from the original language edition of ZeroZeroZero, to make every conversation with an old woman who speaks the language interesting.

I went on one of my favorite podcasts, Popular Front with Jake Hanrahan, to talk about our epstein.photos project open.spotify.com/episode/037o...

It speaks optimistically to the fact that, what little political savvy Vance has, has clearly been entirely hollowed out by Trumpism. The man is well on his way to be excommunicated and that brings me joy. The fucking Protestant.

After learning about Meta's planned facial recognition feature for their Ray-Ban smart glasses, called Name Tag, I've decided to delete my entire presence on their platforms, and wrote 2,500+ words on maybe you might want to as well - www.macpierce.com/blog/2026/2/...

I know they're broadly kind of a sign of a certain kind of fitness, but forearm veins still freak me out. They look way too prominent when I look at them, like I'm gonna nick em on a piece of metal and bleed out.

I know for a god given fact that I am perpetually in direct contradiction of any given Catholic doctrine but this has to be the most blasphemous shit I've ever seen. You need to stab this person with a screwdriver in an alleyway.

Unprompted, have been told on two separate occasions by different people that I need to cut my hair because I look like a Cuban coke dealer from the 80s.

I got a dedicated bits budget, and I swear to God, these custom clown shoes are calling to me like the Green Goblin Mask. When would I use them? For a joke. Would it be worth it? Probably.

This is genuinely such a insane read. And the VC's fucking husband calling his wife acting in such a way that she got an arrest warrant put out on her, part of the grieving process, is sending me.

At any given moment, I relate far more to Charlie Kelly than I am comfortable with.

Never cease to tickle me pink that boycott's etymology just leads back to one particularly chicken fat idiot out of Ireland.

Dog barks at me, I bark back and somehow I'm the bad guy.

Bukele has a waifu body pillow.

I can't believe the crypto bubble is so wild now, people are making NFTs a thing again Well maybe. I wonder if it's a money movement thing instead.

This isn't like selling someone a tv. It's like pulling up somewhere with a truck of TV's and what is clearly a gun under your arm and offering a discount.

The bindle from a particularly infamous hack in Bitcoin history just got sold and people are suspecting the company who did the purchase just could not be assed to check where it was being sourced from. I'm dying.

Fireworks on a random Saturday morning are never a good sign.

Things are happening in the world of divorced dudes.

It's 8pm on a Sunday, who could it possibly be worth shooting at this time of day.

Dawg, we are about to see people lose entire life savings at 2 am on Twitter.

World Bank lifts decades-long ban on funding nuclear energy in major boost for atomic energy industry @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/3T8iT53

It should though be said, on Polymarket partnering with X, more than even sports betting ads on podcasts, you basically have the conditions for gambling addictions being injected directly to the base that would dive head first into it, in just an incredible way. Especially with the Grok stuff.

Getting into bed with the dude sniping at a President with a history of vindictive action, while being a legally dubious betting site, is a choice.

The Russian Central Bank has been successfully bullied.

The RCB has been bullied into lowering the interest rate - but not enough to lower it significantly.

One of Russia's five largest oil and gas companies Surgutneftegaz reported a 439,7 billion ruble loss for Q1 2025 under the Russian Accounting standard. In Q1 2024 it had a 268,5 billion net profit under the same accounting standard. www.kommersant.ru/doc/7793238

SCOOP: Trump to launch branded crypto wallet and trading application, encouraging his supporters to purchase his memecoin and other crypto assets. www.citationneeded.news/trump-crypto...

Watching The Rehersal for the first time. This must be what it felt like to witness the Sermon on the Mount. I had a child's idea of what committing to the bit looks like. I must apply myself deeply and thoroughly.

Underappreciated recession indicator, crypto dudes torturing each other with chainsaws for passwords.

Prominent Bukele critic might have gotten semi disappeared last night, which isn't great.

I do wish I actually had the capacity to investigate things because a weird, maybe billionaire? who lost a sexual assault case a few years ago, is using a media company he seems to own to announce a lawsuit against a bunch of random companies and other rich people, including black cube.

Cousin thought I was exaggerating when I told him stuff just kind of happens to me. I am deeply frustrated to say that he bore witness to the power going out for practically the entire town, just before my air fryer chicken went from raw to cooked.

There's actually been, from usually the most spineless sort of politico, some amount of push back to the president's crypto schemes. It's surprising, although I doubt anything will happen. That said, if something does, on the dead homies, I will fly to the Vatican the second my refund check hits.

This is so dumb a plot, I can't even bring myself to really hate it. These are the kind of moronic schemes I don't respect, but do watch on in awe.

Tornado Cash and Samourai get mentioned some space in. I was not expecting the case to slowly fall apart in this manner. Something dramatic maybe, but I'd actually start putting better odds on Roman Storm getting off clean.

I'm dying. Genuinely, either this ends in a crash or the kind of bail outs we've only seen from the Bible.

The title is a bit meaningless. The 1 mil is projected cost in legal fees for lawyers to work on cases, because of the pedigree and connections. Its bribery by other means, but not exactly a straightforward transaction at that amount. But SBF makes a cameo, and it's incredible.

Huh. For context, everyone involved in this is either heavily tied into El Salvador, or the current US Goverment administration, like literally son of a member.

I don't know if it's true yet, but if Drake really got his crypto wallet leaked, with murders linked to it. Lmao.

Trial moved again. This thing is quietly becoming one of the most important trials in the last five years somehow

I have no idea if the Bitcoin price will continue to drop, but we already fell below the profit to cost of mining for those specific businesses, before this chaos. This is just shitshow to watch.

cmon bruh

God's punishment for disloyalty.

Went to my usual pizza place on a different day, when the girl who always works the counter is off, and they messed up my order two separate times, on two different tries. Lesson learned.
