One of the questions being asked by those who (properly) treat the NJ/VA races as bellwethers for the midterms was whether the relatively sleepy & low-coverage NJ-GOV would see similar shifts as VA (w/tons of advertising & media focus).
Looks like we have a verdict on that.
On the plus side, I won't have to worry about vax mandates for my kindergartner.
Beats relocating to Florida!
Our new likely Governor-Elect of Virginia is openly opposed to:
1.) Legal abortion
2.) Same Sex Marriage
3.) Mask Mandates and maybe Vaccines (kinda)
4.) Teaching accurate balanced racial history
Virginia has entered the GOP culture wars. New ballgame. #ElectionResults

Are we finally ready to support building progressive media at scale or should we keep doing the same shit and act surprised while we watch our country/democracy/planet burn….? Literally asking for democracy.
Honestly I've stayed off this hellsite profile the last two years bc I feared some shit like this would happen.
We could have had Bernie... blah blah blah. I hope the whole DPVA goes down in flames right now so we can #builditbackbetter
I wonder which VA city will be the first to create their own CityCoin?

Yesterday, a federal judge in Michigan did something extraordinary & important.
Yes, she penalized Trump's election attorneys for their conduct filing a lawsuit to have Michigan's 2020 election results thrown out.
But she did something bigger:
Took the suit seriously.

1/ Attention US Senators - curious how this obscure, little industry called “crypto” has been able to be so effective in Washington this past week? Let me explain to you crypto’s 3 SUPERPOWERS...

1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.

1/ A quick explainer on what happened with the infrastructure bill last night:
We were on track to pass the Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to fix the worst issues with the bill, & then Senators @RobPortman & @MarkWarner came from nowhere to blow it up.
Now the vote's tomorrow 👇
In case you were wondering what was holding up the infrastructure bill. This legislation shows a complete technical ignorance on the part of lawmakers, and will cripple the industry in the US if it passes.

I'd like to say I'm surprised that it's Warner leading the charge on this cluster, but I'm really not.

Buying a dryer this weekend, so I'll be getting back 5% using my Lowe's card, and another 1.5% back in Bitcoin by using Lolli and ordering online!

Excited to share that Lowe's is now LIVE on Lolli.com!
Lolli users can now earn bitcoin back when they shop for appliances, furniture, and housing essentials. 🛠

Apple is a warlord whose fortress has thick walls and battlements bristling with the most ferocious infosec mercs money can buy.
Surrender your autonomy by moving to Apple's fortress - where they choose your which apps and where you get repairs - and they'll defend you.

Today is the day.
Why I left my career to go all-in on crypto:

I'll have a full blog post on this next week, but next Friday is my last day at my current job. I'm "retiring" to focus on #crypto full time.
