The following are historical truths and an unavoidable truths of human nature-
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom; it is the argument of tyrants and the creed of slaves.” Wm Pitt 1783
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety” Benjamin Franklin 1755.
Both of these statements were made during the threat of war.

Airbnb’s Housing Accelerator shows housing takes local knowledge and teamwork. Oklahoma remains affordable, and realtors know where land and opportunity are available for buyers and developers.
750,000 homes across the country are ready to build, and stuck without final funding.
They've cleared the hurdles. They just need the last dollars to break ground.
Today, we're doing something about it. Introducing the Airbnb Housing Accelerator. 🧵
Precisely C.S. Lewis's point in The Screwtape Letters: the enemy doesn't need to ruin you, he only needs to distract you.
Screwtape finds that a reliable way to lead a patient to hell is to distract him with jargon, for instance. Have the patient evaluate ideas not by their content but by their labels ensures that he never engages meaningfully with their content.
Another method is to fix his attention on the "stream of immediate sense experiences," so that his mind is drawn away from universal issues and he no longer thoughtfully engages with things that matter.
The path to hell is not so much paved by grand sins than it is by small, constant distractions from what really matters. The path to goodness begins with reclaiming your attention, and turning your eyes from the endless stream.
Wasting time "doomscrolling" is not neutral. It distracts you from doing good in the world.
AI can use @Polkadot
Claude Code can now handle chain connections, transactions, contracts, storage and app scaffolding through the Product SDK.
@computefluxAI is already bringing Claude into a Polkadot-native AI stack.
Connect the two, and AI moves from helping write the code to interacting with Polkadot itself.
Summer was less chill than expected but very fruitful! Rest of the year will benefit a lot from all the work last 2-3 months. Limit orders, Near intents and Robinhood chain integration (with our pools there!) are in final stages of testing before their imminent launch. Stonks and indices as collateral. Even stonk/index pools with Hollar yielding like crazy as composable collateralx Propeller coming finally. Autumn and winter will be more hot than summer 🥵
Last week's closure of the 2026C & 2026D Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bond issues for @OklahomaHousing will provide down payment assistance to an estimated 644 Oklahoma homebuyers.
Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. Thats for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
My beef comes from a local rancher, but If you are buying from the grocery store checkout the website below. Hertzogmeatco has great prices that will compete with the grocery stores.
To my Venezuelan, Cuban and Nicaraguan Americans, IF President Trump does not prevail in the midterm elections you can kiss the chances to liberate our birth countries and other leftist regimes in our hemisphere good bye. Democrats take over and its LIGHTS OUT for Latin American freedom, security and prosperity.
So many people are triggered by how John Morgan runs his company. All while they are complaining about their unproductive co-workers and wish they would be held accountable. Or they are the unproductive employee others complain about.
Billionaire John Morgan reveals 23 employees quit the first week he put cameras on work from home computers…
“We're going to put a camera on your computer… We're going to put a camera up your a**… The first week, 23 people quit. It's not that they don't want to work from home. They don't want to f***ing work.”
Tenemos una vida sentados como morsas sobre 300.000 millones de barriles de petróleo. En los últimos 30 años apenas hemos producido 23.500 millones.
Ahora llega Trump y plantea un negocio para producir 90.000 millones de barriles, metiendo $100.000 a $200.000 millones de inversión en nuestra Venezuela - pozos, taladros, oleoductos, mejoradores, refinerías - y pagando regalías e impuestos.
Y entonces aparecen los patrioteros y piratas de siempre gritando: “¡Nos están robando!”, “¡Se quieren llevar nuestro petróleo!”.
¿Robando qué?
El petróleo debajo de la tierra no genera un dólar, no crea un empleo y no le pone los tres platos de comida a nadie. Para convertirlo en riqueza hay que invertir, perforar, producir y vender. Y para eso hace falta muchísima plata.
Nosotros ponemos el petróleo. Ellos ponen capital, tecnología, mercados y riesgo. Venezuela cobra y prospera.
Eso no es saqueo.
Saqueo es tener 300.000 millones de barriles y haber convertido al país petrolero más rico del planeta en el más pobre.
Welcome the oil deal.
