The way to defeat those who would silence us is to speak. Speak the forbidden truths. Speak for those who have no voice. Let your voice ring out. The cowards will, in desperation, increase the intensity of their efforts to stop the sound. But the sound of a billion voices singing (even if they are different songs) will drive back the evil that would darken our world.
@parkerjlathrop Create a target list of community leaders and who knows them, then take them to lunch. Never go a week without going to lunch or dinner with at least one aspirational contact.
@elonmusk@boringcompany Also, free flights would generate ever-increasing demand - guaranteeing a deficit in funding much more quickly than anticipated. Let the @elonmusk entrepreneurs loose and there will be plenty of capacity.
More stuff that I write:
Sometimes leadership is as simple as doing the right things right. Everything else seems to fall in line. The difficulty comes in filtering out the noise and zeroing in on what the right thing is.
I had a coach once tell me that football is really simple. Design every play to achieve 3.4 yards, execute it every time and you will win the game. At first glance, it sounds almost too basic for such a complex, physical, and strategic... https://t.co/JPRqkPDzTO
Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate.
On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other".
Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion.
Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself.
Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo.
Rest in peace, Chuck!

ICYMI: a recording of yesterday's Regular Meeting of the Commission has been uploaded below, to our website at https://t.co/T2CVHLf30p, and our YouTube channel.
The next regular meeting of the Commission is anticipated to take place in the Wyoming State Capitol on Thur, Apr 16.
Schroedinger's Cat. I have to wait until the box is open to see if the strategy is a success (I am terrible at predicting these things). I do know that the Broncos have built a team that seems to be full of high quality team-oriented players. Players I can root for. But I also want the team to win.
🚨 BREAKING: Wyoming’s Frontier Stable Token ($FRNT) is now live on Hedera $HBAR.
FRNT is the first stable token issued by a U.S. state, launched under the Wyoming Stable Token Act and overseen by the Wyoming Stable Token Commission.
The token is fully backed by U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasuries, with an additional reserve buffer to maintain stability.
The initiative is designed to demonstrate how blockchain infrastructure can improve public finance and payments, including:
• Faster and more efficient government payments and settlements
• Potential use for tax payments, fees, and public services
• Lower-cost business and cross-border transactions
• Transparent reserve management and financial reporting
Hedera was selected as a network for FRNT because of its fast transaction finality, predictable low fees, and enterprise-grade governance, which align with the Commission’s requirements for security, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
For investors following Hedera, the launch represents an example of government-level adoption of the network’s infrastructure, demonstrating how distributed ledger technology can be applied to real-world financial systems and public sector payments.

A historic moment for crypto.
Kraken Financial has been granted a Federal Reserve master account, making us the first digital asset bank with direct access to the U.S. payments system.
A major step toward connecting crypto infrastructure with the core rails of global finance.
