I sent out messages to family and the kids school parent group chat and work group chat about the internet being broken etc etc.... and have told clients...
0 of 38 people knew anything about it at all.
1 of 38 actually cared .... a lil bit.
~sigh~
This is one of those days where as I want to worry about the internet breaking.... I cant cause for the first time in awhile I felt so much hope.... it was a little high! No, no not bitcoin pump..... but that there are still some really truely great people out there..... and they show up to look out for your kid in the most surprising and amazing ways 🧡🥰🧡🥰
Very much this...👀 oh what propaganda can come now
So while driving this morning a video popped up of a debate between John Kiriakou and Andrew Bustamante.... I've seen a lil bit from both over the years both ex-CIA..... but dear Lord I noticed my jaw actually dropped open listening and realized how very fecked we all are when it comes to our soveirgnty or independence vs govt programs and technicalities when chosing how law is defined and IF it gets defined. We the people only serve as economic drivers on behalf of our government, we exist FOR IT... it doesnt serve us Andrew says (and he believes to be correct) we serve it. WHAT?
Like I don't even know what to do with this.... so I bought more bitcoin instead of a breakfast smoothie. 🤷♀️😐
You know how we all kinda see the world going a bit madd? I think the animals can sense it. Just had to help break up another dog fight....good neighbors, all good dogs. Trained, leash walking dogs. Good homes. When a dogs instincts take over in a fury of closed eyes and desperate chomps it really is scary and traumatic. Spent an hour helping assess and attempting to stitch up one, well butterfly anyways just for now. Its so traumatic. And I've seen so many more stories lately on family dogs involved in attacks.
The animals sense the stress and tension in peoples daily lives. They are feeling it more now.
It's a 'feck the fed' kind of day. Amazong quarter zip from @without_rulers

Scary stuff.
Tonight, France burned. America, you should be watching very carefully.
Today, October 17, 2026, more than half a million people marched across France against the cost of living. By 8pm, around 400 had been arrested. In Paris, police turned water cannons on the crowds at Place de la République, and one march was stopped 150 meters from the Élysée Palace. Of the 195 people arrested in the capital by the afternoon, only one actually lived in Paris. Mobs forced their way into the city halls of Marseille and Lille. In Lyon, a tourism office was set on fire. In Rennes, barricades burned. Near Limoges, a highway was blocked and police cars were torched.
And then came Limoges.
A crowd of very young people stormed the city hall, a protected historic monument built in the 1880s. They flipped police cars in front of it and set them ablaze, then set the building itself on fire. The flames took the roof, the wedding hall, and the civil registry, the office that records every birth, every marriage, every death in the city. Tonight, the bell tower that has crowned Limoges for nearly 150 years collapsed.
The mayor's response: "It's a monument that is burning, not the Republic."
That is the problem in one sentence. Our leaders still think words can put out fires.
None of this came out of nowhere. For twenty years, the French political class has excused everything. Every riot was "anger." Every burned car was a "social symptom." Every attack on police was "a reaction to provocation." And the hard left, La France Insoumise, which officially backed today's mobilization, built its electoral machine on an alliance with political Islamism: refusing to condemn, refusing to name, trading secularism and public order for votes. In France we have a word for it. Islamo-gauchisme. Islamo-leftism.
Tonight you saw where that culture of excuse ends. A country where a mob can burn down a town hall, and the state arrives after the roof has already fallen in.
My dear American friends,
I say this with love, as someone who has lived among you and owes you a great deal: your midterms are on November 3rd. And the same alliance is growing inside your Democratic Party. The same far-left wing that treats disorder as protest and police as the enemy. The same activists who refuse to draw a line between legitimate dissent and those who openly despise the West. The same politicians who think tolerance means tolerating everything, including the people who want to burn it down.
It always starts with excuses. Then comes impunity. Then come the flames.
Same causes, same effects. If you create the conditions we created, you will get exactly what we got tonight.
France was the country of the Enlightenment, of cathedrals and town halls that stood for centuries. Tonight, one of them collapsed live on social media while the government called for calm.
My dear American friends, the only advantage you have over us is that you've been warned.
Vote like your city hall depends on it. Because one day, it will.
7 women survived. Ahem. Women. Lolol. 🤣🤷♀️
Wonder why none of the men did? Theories?
The longest-surviving shipwreck castaways were abandoned on a barren Indian Ocean island. With no wood to spark a new flame, they kept a single fire burning for an astonishing 15 years.
In 1761, a French East India Company ship called L'Utile struck a reef. The crew managed to build a makeshift boat from the wreckage and sailed away, leaving behind 60 Malagasy people who had been illegally purchased as slaves in Madagascar. The sailors promised to return, but they never did.
The castaways were marooned on a barely habitable sandbank—a flat, treeless coral atoll measuring less than a square kilometer.
To survive, the marooned people had to rely entirely on what the tiny island could provide. They built robust shelters out of coral blocks and copper from the wreckage to withstand frequent cyclones. With no natural vegetation other than sparse scrub, they subsisted for a decade and a half on a diet of seabirds, turtles, and brackish water drawn from a hand-dug well. The single fire that sustained them had been originally lit from the shipwreck's embers and carefully guarded around the clock.
Fifteen years later, in 1776, a French corvette commanded by Chevalier de Tromelin finally arrived. By then, only eight survivors remained: seven women and an eight-month-old baby boy.
While the Tromelin castaways hold the record for the longest-surviving group, the longest documented solitary shipwreck survivor is Pedro Serrano. In 1526, Serrano swam to a barren Caribbean sandbank—now known as Serrana Bank—after his ship sank. He lived there for eight years, surviving by drinking turtle blood and rainwater before he was finally rescued in 1534. Like the Tromelin survivors, Serrano owed his life to the harsh but sustaining ecosystem of an isolated reef.
My son is at his senior homecoming with his girlie. Senior. I'm dying 😢
So proud. (And a bit nervous cause she is lookin hotter than hot! 🔥🤣🤣)
I did a thing today. Am humbled and also proud. A bitcoin hair stylist proof of work story:
Had a young lady contact me months ago about getting the 10 yrs of at home black hair dye out of her hair and how much would cost etc etc. 4 other stylists told her No, can't be done. One even did a test strand and then said nope...can't do it.
Her hair was frying off and felt like a crunchy brittle hard mass of tangled mess.
We discussed how its not a quick process and that many home colors have metals in them and that reacts poorly with other chemicals. Bleach was an absolute no go. But that if we planned ahead... and she saved her money and stopped dying her roots inbetween... I would dedicate an entire 8 hour Saturday to getting the black safely out of her hair. I quoted her $700 and to get the pretty red color of her goal photo.
She checked in with me each month to let me know what had been saved and kept checking her appointment was still good. Bless her and her husband's hearts. They WORKED for this.
In the end, 3 weeks ago she checks once again.... had saved 750 and wanted to really make sure she'd need that amount because they had an unexpected car issue. I said I'd do it for 500 and was impressed at their dedication to help her and save her long hair. It had broken off in front down to two inches long. She's a daycare worker and makes likely minimum wage. $15 an hour.
While in my chair we talked a great deal about budgets and jobs and how the money was broken. Gave her insight into why things are so much harder than 5 years ago etc. Why it cost so much to live now. But also how time really can be of worth. The value of our time. And effort. Her quick cheap hair dye was wrecking her hair and self esteem. But saving to fix it properly would benefit her life and her motivation and her self esteem etc etc. Then the value of my time... my experience and willingness to do things the slow and correct healthy way vs quick bleach job that would burn off her hair. The value. Price and value. Cheaper is not always better. And likely the other stylists simply didn't have the expertise or patience or knowledge of proper chemistry outside of plain bleach. PH balancing etc etc.
I did it in just under 6 hours. A total of 4 chemical processes, washes, blow dries, each one leaving her hair in better condition than it was the one before. She was almost in tears of joy. Regardless of the 500 bucks, to me it was worth it....helping her feel as pretty and good as she should. Changing how she looks in the mirror every day. Showing her not all people will just write off problems...some will actually help. What a long and worthy Saturday at work today. I mean I was sqeatin....not just nerves hoping it would work but a tual sweat from constant applying, checking, running, washing, drying and applying again amd so on and so forth. (You gotta be careful with these chemical) I'm honored that I could provide a smile and sense of pride for this gal to carry. She and her husband made it a priority to change her bad hair habit for good and they will both be better for it. A fresh and vibrant start. An understanding that savings CAN accomplish things and that cheaper isnt always better. Planning is necessary etc.
The work... real effort on both of our parts in the end actually made it all a success. Im so glad for her.
Plus now I get to buy more Bitcoin 😇
Will through some before, progress and after photos below just for reference incase anyone still reading lol. Probably not a big deal to most folks.... but for this one gal....a very hard several years of being told no and continual breakage occuring etc.... to get rid of this terrible cyclical black color was huge.
🙏🧡💪🙏My youngest could use some prayers or positive vibes today if anyone is so inclined. Not going to get into it but a major shift in plans for his health path and also now in TWO half leg casts (both legs) trying to navigate walking 😭😂 and school. It's not gonna be a fun 4 to 6 months to say the least. And he's too big for me to lift or assist in meaningful ways. We're in the suck. Pray.
They hate us.
The IRS sent armed agents into a family bakery and drained $68,382 from its bank account.
Their “crime”? Depositing their OWN CASH in amounts under $10,000.
Then the government demanded ANOTHER $160,000 and a guilty plea to a FELONY.
The IRS called it “structuring”: deliberately keeping deposits small to dodge bank reporting rules.
DAVID VOCATURA: “I said to them, ‘Maybe I should get a lawyer.’ And they said, ‘You don’t need one, step in the back.’”
“Until the day they came in, I had no idea what structuring was.”
“I’m a law-abiding citizen. I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.”
Nearly three years after seizing the money, a prosecutor came back with a deal that carried up to FOUR YEARS IN PRISON:
DAVID VOCATURA: “They wanted us to pay another additional $160,000 in fines and plead to a felony charge of structuring.”
They refused.
You bake bread for three generations.
You pay your taxes.
You put your own money in the bank.
And the IRS treats you like a criminal, demanding nearly a quarter million dollars.
CONTEXT: Fortunately, the IRS didn’t get away with this one. Hours after the Institute for Justice sued, the IRS agreed to return all $68,382.22. Two weeks later, it withdrew a grand jury subpoena demanding eight years of the bakery’s business records. Crazy that they tried to ruin a business over depositing money into their own bank account.
Just the beginning? Soon our identity will be attached to each item we purchase, rather than just the method of payment we used with accompanying receipt. Ick.
Our country's debt grows more per SECOND than I make in an entire year.
Wtf.
No wonder we're struggling.
Bitcoin acrually is a lifeline.
My goodness.
Yes yes and yes
So @zherbert has said if they were to get enough pre-orders @FoundationHQ will potentially bring back the Passport Core or make a “featureless” bitcoin-only Passport Prime ⚡️
Would you pre-order one?
