J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Can we please get the soft porn ads off playoff broadcasts, TBS, Fox, NBC, @MLB? My son wants to watch baseball with Dada, but how do I justify that when a half-naked women could come on screen anytime?? This is America’s Pastime. Parents shouldn’t have to worry about this.
Hey @MLB - wanna get more kids watching baseball?
Maybe start with the commercials.
Watching the playoffs tonight with my kids and here's the rundown:
- Megan Fox selling ED pills in a red bodysuit
- The scariest movie trailer you've ever seen
- Sydney Sweeney in zero clothes promoting betting on sports
Leagues can't figure out why kids don't watch.
You don't need a Nickelodeon game. You're not the Savannah Bananas.
Just show baseball in a way I can leave on in my house.

Never use Tether. Never.
TETHER CAN DELETE YOUR BALANCE. IT'S WRITTEN INTO THE CODE.
Not freeze it. Delete it.
The USDT contract has a function called destroyBlackFunds. It has been there since the 2017 Ethereum deployment.
Here is what it does, in order. It checks that your address is already blacklisted. It reads your balance into a variable the developers named "dirtyFunds". It sets your balance to zero. It subtracts that amount from total supply. Then it logs the event.
No function can reverse it. Once it runs, that balance is gone forever.
The blacklist function names the address it targets "_evilUser". That is how the code sees you before anyone has proven anything.
Only Tether's owner multisig can call it, on Ethereum and on Tron. A court can't. A regulator can't. When a government wants your money, Tether is the one that executes.
Then comes step two. Tether mints the same amount fresh to whoever it chooses: a victim, a court address, a government address. Net supply change is zero. Your money just changed owners.
The DOJ described this exact process in a forfeiture case filed in Massachusetts in March 2025, over roughly $9,016,612 in USDT. Burn, then reissue.
USDC can block a wallet but can't burn the balance. Tether built the eraser in from the start.
They keep promising you there will be no CBDC.
It already exists. It runs on Tron and Ethereum, and it has an owner.
Bitcoin doesn't. Exit with Bitcoin.

Funding cross cultural ministry is often difficult, expensive, and slow.
Thanks to Bitcoin, @brilliance_labs is changing that.
We demonstrated our Bitcoin For Missions lightning-powered funding map (🔗⤵️) back in April. If you'd like to add a CC worker to it, reach out via DM.
Today I'm joining @brilliance_labs to expand the scope and scale of their pioneering work to educate and build freedom tech solutions to the most challenging money-related obstacles to global ministry.

MacArthur on 1 Peter 1:10:
“That’s a fascinating statement. You know what it says? It says the Old Testament writers studied what they wrote to figure out what it meant. Now if you’re an author and you don’t know what you mean by what you write, you’re in trouble. Whenever you write, you write until you understand clearly what you’re trying to convey and you believe it’s clear enough for everybody else to understand. […] Well, here were men under the inspiration of the word of God who wrote things they didn’t even understand. That shows you the supernatural and miraculous character of inspiration. And they would write it and then study it to try to figure out what it meant.”

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.
Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

For Bessent to be right and grow our way out…
Last 5 years:
debt up ~7% a year. Nominal GDP ~5–5.5%
Remove the 2021 spike and Real growth is 2–3%.
To stop the ratio from rising with a ~2.5% primary deficit, nominal growth needs ~6%.
To actually shrink it, closer to 7–8%.
So we need to increase it 1.5–3 points faster than trend.
How?
They have to run the economy hot.

So much of the ColdCard debacle could’ve been avoided if people used Sparrow on desktop.
It wasn’t until I used it (~2020 a couple years after finding bitcoin) that I fully understood signatures, passphrases, etc.

To every Iowa mother and father that lost a child by miscarriage after receiving the vaccine:
I will do everything I can to bring justice to you and justice to Fauci as Governor.
I will not stop fighting for you. And I will not stop calling for the COVID shot to be pulled.
Fauci privately warned of miscarriage risk linked to COVID vaccine while publicly claiming no issues, newly released texts show trib.al/bDcp5GG
