Worse yet, when Chappelle was attacked and law enforcement refused to charge his attacker, Charlie stood up for him.
Of course this only ever goes one way.

looks like @nixorokish is suing the Ethereum Foundation about her Mandate-related firing
it's an interesting doc b/c (if allegations, including alleged recording of Vitalik without his consent, are true) it confirms a lot of rumors that were swirling around the Mandate
my take:
personally I continue to think the Mandate was one of Ethereum's most important and culturally relevant moments and that it's appropriate for an org to require confirmed alignment with a stated mission statement....the complaint also contains the full text of the "pledge " and it's quite high level, I think no reasonable person could believe it is asking people to literally agree to commit suicide and even from the complaint itself it looks to me like certain people were angling for litigation or other leverage from the start with overly literal interpretations of things, recording calls, creating records of disagreement and so on...you know the type ...
recording someone without their consent and then publishing it to the entire world is probably one of the dirtiest things you can do regardless of whether legal or not...
also it looks like she got offered $195k FOR A FULL YEAR as severance which is very generous to say the least
you never know what juries will do with superficially sensational facts like a seppuku license and milady aesthetics/reputation though , litigation like this is a bit of a dice roll due to all the personalities and esoteric cultures involved...

Ron Baron describes Elon Musk as "the biggest job creator in the" US and a "once in a lifetime person."
Baron points out that Musk has the ability to build businesses at a scale and cost that almost nobody else can match.
He also notes the scale of Musk's businesses and projects like Terafab as examples of how he is pushing American industry forward.

ETH is playing the biggest game, which is the SoV game.
Read this.
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

If you have a basic level of dignity or self preservation you don’t let people use genocidal language towards you
It’s not because you’re actually worried about some stupid college girl or drug-addled comedian, language builds on itself, first a whisper, then a laugh, then a speech, then a mob
Humans are naturally vicious, and when they’re granted permission they will tear an object of hatred apart like a pack of jackals
Libs know what time it is, no matter how desperately conservatives deny it, they know things are coming to a head and they crave violence
They celebrated when Charlie was assassinated because they wanted him dead, they wanted you dead
The celebrities and pundits learned to moderate their language for a while but the demented soldiers continued to mock Charlie’s death and now the bigger voices are regaining the courage to mock
But it won’t remain mockery for long, the mockery is just a step towards violence, and the violence will start with politician and personalities, but eventually any Trump supporter will be a valid target
The reason is simple, the Trump admin refused to punish the left for killing Charlie and dancing on his grave
We pretended that acting shocked and appalled was enough, that clutching our pearls and talking about principles would stop the jackals from acting like jackals
The left already believed we were evil but they at least had to consider that conservatives had the government and the guns, but of course nothing happened, they killed Charlie and cheered and nothing happened
So now in addition to believing we’re evil the left KNOWS we’re weak, that violence is all upside with no downside, that assassinations are both effective and without cost
Being evil and weak in the eyes of your enemy is the worst possible combination, if you were evil and dangerous they may want to hurt you but fear would restrain them
But being evil and weak makes you below contempt, something your enemy is morally obligated to exterminate
So this will get worse, the left will get more violent, they will hurt and kill conservatives, and apparently it’s impossible to get anyone in power to care
Buy guns and ammo, start training with friends, no one is coming to save you
"Ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered... and I shouldn't say this publicly... I feel better."

Stop prosecuting software developers for writing code they don’t control how others use. Writing code is not a crime. End the prosecution of Roman Storm and hold the people who actually commit crimes accountable - not the developers who build legitimate tools.

I will never forget how fiercely Charlie defended Dave Chapelle at the height of cancel culture, both publicly and privately. It didn’t matter if they had the same political beliefs — it mattered that they were subject to the same protections under the First Amendment as fellow Americans.
Every day it becomes more obvious… *that’s* the difference between the culture of the Right & the Left.
One side is literally willing to lay down their life to continue fighting for *everyone’s* right to express themselves. The other laughs on their podcasts about digging up that young man’s grave to “do it again,” dresses up as his corpse for Halloween, threatens to kill any and all other conservatives who agree with him, and sneers with the demonic ghouls in their audience about his death as a form of “comedy.”
We are not the same.
Shame on you, Dave. This is so beyond disgusting.

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

I was suspended for weeks from this platform years ago for telling Chelsea Clinton that most of the killers of trans people in the U.S. are black men and the killings happen in the context of dangerous street prostitution or violent relationships. And the numbers are still very low despite media and leftist propaganda calling it a “crisis.”

Among all smart contract platforms, Ethereum $ETH is #1 in stablecoins, tokenized assets, applications, developers, and investment products.
The financial system is being redesigned. Ethereum is leading it.

Tbh, the EEZ vision was why I originally bought Polygon and ZKsync
Unfortunately, they couldn't deliver on the mission due to alignment and other issues (including broken promises)
Fortunately, Jordi Baylina kept going and went on to build a coalition of people to create EEZ, which every Ethereum aligned team can support
EEZ is the endgame for Ethereum
Ethereum stops being a collection of chains and starts acting like one system again.
That’s the pitch. The other 49 minutes are in the talk! Watch it, it’s a good one, demos and all :D

Anti crypto politicians already have a playbook for fighting emerging technologies and the entrepreneurs building them. We’ve seen it firsthand in the war on crypto, which began in 2020 and continues to this day, despite the favorable political shift under the Trump administration.
The criminal justice system hasn’t changed one bit when it comes to prosecuting developers of non-custodial, decentralized, permissionless protocols. Lots of promises, speeches, and policy memos that, in practice, mean absolutely nothing.
The AI bros largely ignored what was happening to the crypto industry. But soon enough, they will face the same playbook, the same tactics, and the same oppression once AI becomes a serious political force.
So, AI bros, you have a choice: stand together now, or bury your heads in the sand and pretend this won’t affect you.
It will. It’s only a matter of time.
Spend a few minutes studying my case, and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.

Here's some fuel for all the Europoor haters:
Germany just told us we'd have to fire one of our 3 founders to qualify for funding.
I was in talks with a German state-backed fund of fund managing billions, with one single mandate: invest in German funds to drive innovation and economic growth in the country.
They literally told me they like us a lot and are also impressed by our track record and performance so far, and even though not everyone in their team is a fan of our thesis, they believe in it.
But they passed for a whole different reason:
Because our all-male team of 3 people isn't "diverse enough" lol.
they literally told me: hire two more female partners (impossible on the economics of a fund our size), or let one of the three of us go to make room for a quota hire. do that, and they'd strongly consider investing.
I won't even get into how discriminatory this is toward men in the first place. nobody takes that seriously anyway, and honestly I don't care.
but what actually gets me is something bigger: as a German, I have to face the fact that the whole world continuing to laugh at Germany and overall Europe is completely justified.
a system that quietly kills the smallest, hungriest teams, the exact ones this money was created to support. and then everyone acts surprised that talent and capital keep leaving the country.
Infuriating. These idiots destroyed California's enormous potential, and now they're doing it to Texas.
This is tha latest moral panic that demagogues are appealing to. The opposition to AI compute facilities is completely fact-free, similar to the opposition to nuclear power expansion 50 years ago that helped de-industrialize the West.

57% of voters think AI will hurt society.
I think 57% of voters have never had a doctor say "stage 4 cancer" to their face. I have.
- AI is what has allowed me to design a personalized cancer vaccine from my own tumor's DNA.
- AI is what lets me understand everything about my health and show up to appointments prepared.
- AI catches the stuff that slips through, like drug interactions, lab trends and the questions nobody thought to ask.
And this is just basic shit my dumb ass is doing on my own. We've only just begun to see its true potential.
Be scared of AI all you want. Just know the price of slowing it down gets paid by sick people. May not be you or your loved ones today, but it will be in due time.
When you're in extreme agony from a terminal diagnosis with death lingering, I sure as shit bet you'll be wishing that AI had developed a treatment so you could spend just a bit more time with your friends and family.
