Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

BREAKING: Ming Li "Carol" Hui has been released from prison by ICE, her lawyer confirms to me. She's headed home to the Missouri town where she's lived for 20 years. She still could face deportation, so the battle continues. Our interview with her from jail: newrepublic.com/article/1959...

Linklater's movie Slackers is loosely based on the premise that UT used to be so cheap, as a land-grant school with oil, that kids would just keep taking classes there for years. Now it's ~$33K per year, including living expenses, for an in-state resident. I hate boomers and older genx.

what I saw on the streets of Minneapolis today was a clear escalation by an extremely reactionary and incredibly well armed group of paramilitary government enforcers that are looking to escalate on the ground massively. Today was very very different then other actions in the city by police or feds.

I have never in my life, seen anything like this, and I would actually like to ask anyone else if they’ve ever seen whole groups of federal officials obscuring their names and replacing it with “the others” or if this is new.

'Data analysed by the BBC show that Ukraine's Western allies have paid Russia more for its hydrocarbons than they have given Ukraine in aid.' What a bleak set of statistics.

I wrote about the 23-year-old crypto bro with effectively no relevant work experience, who @alondra.bsky.social revealed is sitting in meetings, not paying attention, and then giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on whether they can get their NSF grants...

Today was my first proper visit to the Riverwalk. It's pretty nice, I guess. Making fun of shirtless bros, with my neighbors, in a rented boat during a drizzle was pretty great.
