Bad cake is better than bad pie, but good pie is better than good cake. Thank you for coming to my National Pi Day TEDx talk.

anyone pretending it's a somber day is a joke. presidents have long acted above the law, and if you wanna be all principled about it, it's a fantastic day for the idea that nobody is above the law -- something that's supposedly foundational to the country

God does not want Tommy Rees to go to Ireland and who are we to judge His will?

Pope Francis criticized laws that criminalize homosexuality as “unjust,” saying God loves all his children just as they are. The pontiff called on Catholic bishops who support the laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church. #TheAPInterview https://t.co/bNIKm0dg9X

you can't be serious

[Rick Adcock @adcock]

@golikehellmachi yeah, the fact that these violent outbursts are disproportionately a young, straight, white male problem is a big tell that this is a lot deeper and older problem than the “left” giving some bad advice now

[Rick Adcock @adcock]

@golikehellmachi we should try to be compassionate and reach out to disaffected young men, but we should also be realistic with our expectations here - the Andrew Tate-style lifestyle types win over young men by offering an easy answer, not by offering sound advice in good faith

[Rick Adcock @adcock]

@golikehellmachi that original tweet, about the left’s “brain-dead advice”, was a weird way to frame the problem. the reactionaries are often giving *terrible* advice, but many young men are still drawn to them because they offer a worldview in which their problems are someone else’s fault

on the heels of the WESTWORLD news there will be physical media diehards extolling the virtues of buying discs (which I do daily, anyway) but as not everyone can afford that, a reminder to support your local library who may have (or can order) what you want to watch for *free*

@edzitron … with all the issuers who *were* issuing unbacked stablecoins, unless they started offering high interest rates to solicit deposits - and it seems like the only way to offer such returns is to get into the same Ponzi games that are bringing down the rest of the crypto industry

[Rick Adcock @adcock]

@edzitron The primary use for users of dollar-backed stablecoins seems to be avoiding AML/KYC regs; the primary use for issuers is to enable them to act as a wildcat bank and print unbacked currency. If Circle wasn’t doing that from the get go, then it would be impossible to compete…
