In 2007, physicist Freeman Dyson wrote an essay called “Our Biotech Future” for The New York Review. In it, he wrote: “I see a bright future for the biotechnology industry when it follows the path of the computer industry…becoming small and domesticated rather than big and centralized.” Dyson had...

The Bitcoin Bookshelf is the corner of the library where people from all backgrounds can come to discover what Bitcoin is. By taking out the intimidation, we will create an environment for us to strengthen the code, the software, and the network behind it. We have created a place for discovery, for families and friends to learn together and teach one another about the benefits of a decentralized future. I want to thank all the sponsors that helped make this dream a reality, and all the authors who donated all of the books for this project. We are working hard to bringing a bookshelf to all corners of the world, a dedicated section in all libraries so everyone can have access to financial freedom.

Happy birthday to the legend that is Pat McAfee Everything he does is inspirational, including his insane generosity along the way. He doesn’t show everybody all of it. In December, Pat helped Luke and his family go to a Colts game without the risk of getting sick. In January, Nick sent Pat a video recreating one of his OSU calls from a Field Pass. He had just completed his cancer treatment. Pat decided to give him tickets to the national championship. Watching Pat grind his ass off to make the world a better place is the honor of a lifetime. More life, more everything 🤟

Realizing people might not have realized that by "flower game" I mean this end screen is a DIRECT reference to the book of unveiling in Destiny 2, which itself refers to a modified version of John Horton Conway's Game of Life; the book refers to this as The Flower Game, a zero-player game where the only move is the initial set up of the pieces and their behaviors. I think if this Durandal is the one from the end of Marathon Infinity, then perhaps he's found a way to influence the Flower Game, and is using that influence to re-write the universe to create a reality that allows his escape from reality itself.

Claude Monet painted the same stretch of cliff more than ninety times. The place is Étretat, a small fishing village on the coast of Normandy, where the chalk cliffs fall into the sea in great arches and a single spire of rock, the Aiguille, stands alone in the water. Monet had known the place since childhood. He grew up in Normandy, and these cliffs were among the first landscapes he ever saw... He returned to paint them again and again. He worked through the 1880s in front of the same rock formations, and across that time he produced more than ninety canvases of them: the cliffs at dawn, at sunset, under storm, under calm, in winter light and in the gold of a clear evening. In his letters to Alice, the woman he would later marry, he described the agony of it: the weather turning, the tide rising, the sun moving, the colour he had begun to capture vanishing before he could finish. He often worked on several canvases at once, switching between them as the conditions changed, racing each one against the hour. In a letter to his friend Frédéric Bazille he wrote: "It is beautiful here in Etretat. Every day I discover even more beautiful things. It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all, my head is bursting. I want to fight, scratch it off, start again, because I start to see and understand. It seems to me as if I can see nature and I can catch it all." The cliffs of Étretat had stood for millions of years and would look, to most people, the same on any given day. Monet saw that they were never the same even for two minutes. He stood on that shore and tried to hold, on canvas, something that exists only for an instant and then is gone forever. And that's exactly what those paintings really are: 90 attempts to keep a single, vanishing moment of light from disappearing. As Dylan Thomas once wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -- -- -- If you want a deeper dive into the craft of painting, I recently wrote a piece exploring it in detail.

It’s been an outrageous weekend for Vanderbilt Baseball 2026 commit RJ Cope, a 6-foot-8 first baseman and lefty with top-of-scale raw juice from the left side at the plate. The big man is 10-for-16 with a homer, double, four walks to two Ks and three stolen bases. It’s a no-doubt power over hit profile but he’s done an outstanding job of waiting for his pitch and depositing it in gaps like in the video below when he put a defensive two-strike swing on a ball to cash in runs for his team in a critical spot. All of this and Cope is still new to hitting. His potential is off the charts with the bat.

If you are going to see Noah Kahan in Fenway this week you are in for one. An artist in his prime immersed in his most emo locale of New England (Kahan is from Vermont). It is, undoubtedly, the best place to see him. His songwriting, voice, energy, showmanship, will never be better than it is now. He played 13 songs from his new album and the crowd knew all the words. When many artists play new songs at concerts people go to the bathroom. Kahan fans are TRUE fans. His dark, expressive features and easy charm fills Fenway--and he has a great rapport with his excellent band. "Paul Revere", "Orange Juice", ect. He played 26 songs in the rain and they all went over the monster (Except "Downfall"--one of my favs on new album. Needs to be more intimate, IMO) There were brief chit chats, great pacing, NO POLITICS, and fireworks at the end. A celebration of his sincere gratitude with a New England video travel log behind him. The video screens and backdrops were artfully and tastefully done. Smart, fun, energetic, production. This young generation of New Englanders has their James Taylor. (I would have loved to hear a JT cover last night.) A voice for a generation that will have staying power. Bravo, Noah Kahan

What is most lacking in the modern world? Dreams of a great captivating future for humanity, dreams of it becoming a humane cosmic civilization where enjoyment of life combines with the cognition of reality and the spread of life throughout the universe. : The author identifies the greatest lack in the modern world as the absence of grand, captivating dreams for humanity’s future. We no longer widely imagine ourselves becoming a humane cosmic civilization, one where deep enjoyment of life merges with relentless pursuit of knowledge and the deliberate spread of life across the Universe. This vision once inspired generations: a species that turns outward not to conquer but to nurture, carrying consciousness, beauty, and care into the void. Today, that horizon has dimmed. Short-term concerns, cynicism, and fragmentation have crowded out the long, bold gaze. Without such dreams, progress loses direction. Innovation serves immediate needs rather than transcendent ones. Humanity risks shrinking to the scale of its anxieties instead of expanding to the scale of its possibilities. The lack is not of resources or intelligence, but of collective imagination bold enough to make the distant future feel urgent and alive. Reviving these dreams would rekindle purpose. It would align daily effort with cosmic ambition. It would remind us that we are not merely survivors on a small planet, but potential bearers of life and meaning to the stars. The modern world is rich in tools, poor in vision. The cure is to dream larger again.

Everytime Prince William shines in his own merit, the British press cries😏 William is not trying to prove anything. The world already looks to him for leadership in times of Crisis for the Monarchy and he is not even King yet🤷🏽‍♀️ So his status and credibility has long been established to the chagrin of his detractors. He is the President and Founder of the Earthshot prize and he was in Monaco representing his Prize. The media always acts as if there is something that William needs to prove before becoming King😵‍💫 What did Queen Elizabeth II prove before becoming Queen?🤡 What did KC prove before becoming King?🤡 What is very clear is that the media and many others are having a hard time coping with Prince William's seamless success and handling of the spotlight. He does not need drama to shine; nor does he need the press approval to effortlessly command respect and admiration for the right reasons🔥 What this article begrudges William is that he has grown into his role so seamlessly and confidently, that his enemies are having a hard time coping; Well cope and seethe. Nothing has changed. Prince William is still the future King and has been the star of the show since his birth. He has only grown in popularity and influence. It was always about Prince William, It will always be about Prince William and his family❤️ Know this and know peace🪭 #PrinceWilliamisaKing #PrinceofWales 📹Tokkianami

➡️ The ZANU fighter was just defeated by a 60-year old guy. 😌 This guy, Themba Gorimbo, had the support of most Zimbabweans when he entered the UFC, because – what a great achievement and representation for our country! 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 🇿🇼 Then, he made the quintessential error that many shallow Zimbabweans who find fame MAKE – he involved himself in regime politics ... because he saw it as a way to make a quick fortune. 💰💰 He started to ride high on ARROGANCE, and use his platform to insult and mock the opposition movement while promoting ED and ZANU PF regularly. He is especially known for stalking Winky D, and posting negative comments and mockeries about him, in order to please his ZANU masters. He thought that if he placed himself on the buttered side 🧈🍞 – the OPPRESSOR’S side - then he would be on the fast track to wealth, freebies and trinkets. 💵 Amateur mistake. When you’re a professional athlete there is no upside to playing politics. 🤷🏾‍♂️ You’ll just alienate many supporters unnecessarily, and attract controversy. You also draw negative attention to yourself internationally. MMA is a global sport and UFC is the pinnacle of the sport. So then he started losing supporters and attracting criticism ... but continued on his arrogant high horse, believing that his commitment to ZANU would pay off. Then when was CHOKED OUT in his last fight and lost consciousness in front of the entire world 😴- he thereafter had a "Damascus moment" when he realized that HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of UFC fans around the world were joyous about his humiliation! 😃 Especially when at one point he enjoyed widespread support and a growing fanbase - even the Rock had given him a house in the early days ... before Gorimbo showed himself to be an arrogant, toxic chump. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Then after being choked out he tried to “CHANGE” and win people over again, and started becoming anti-Zanu, etc. And it has worked for some people, but for a lot of OTHER people, including me (who was initially a HUGE fan), the damage had been done... 🙅🏾‍♂️ I always support Zimbabwean athletes and teams PASSIONATELY 🇿🇼 – but this guy has shown his true colours, and I find him to be unsavoury... He’s someone who tried to use his platform to benefit from the REGIME. He supported OPPRESSION and mocked the suffering of Zimbabweans, and efforts of the opposition. He is NOT a good guy. 😏 He is only now pretending to be in support of the PEOPLE because he has seen how supporting dictators will negatively affect his MMA career. It actually may be too late for him to redeem himself because even on the MMA twitterverse, I see a LOT of people from around the world posting negatively about his arrogance. They are also calling him a SCAMMER because of the library he had said he was building “in his village” and apparently people donated money, but there is ZERO library in existence 🤔- and when he has been pressed to explain he has been saying to critics that he built ¾ of the library and then he had to tear it down for some reason... 👀 I will always view him as a “ZANU fighter” because that’s what he proudly was for a long time, and has now realized his miscalculation ... and trying to pretend to be otherwise. Anyway, good luck to him. Because these days KARMA is visiting him.

The animated scene of the new background + logo is so lovely. They didn't have to make it but they did and I think that reflects the level of extra care that is going into the game now. For the first time in a long time, the future of the game is bright.

Fellow Africans, In a world filled with countless leaders, only a rare few rise to embody the very soul of their people. Even fewer transcend borders to become symbols of hope, resilience, and inspiration for an entire continent. His Excellency, the Right Honourable The Raila Odinga Amolo Foundation is one such figure. A man whose journey mirrors the struggles and triumphs of Africa itself. Today, I present him for your most serious consideration as the next Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), a role for which he is uniquely and undeniably qualified. I am Kasmuel McOure, a young revolutionary who has stood at the forefront of Kenya’s struggle against oppression, corruption, and the erosion of good governance. I belong to a generation profoundly inspired by Raila Odinga’s unwavering fight for justice. His legacy is a powerful testament to resilience, vision, and the relentless pursuit of democratic values. Raila Odinga’s name is inseparable from the story of Kenya’s democratic evolution. He was instrumental in dismantling a 24-year dictatorship under Daniel arap Moi, championing the transition to a multiparty democracy, and crafting a constitution that secured the rule of law for generations to come. His leadership, forged in personal sacrifice, redefined the course of our nation. Even at great personal and political cost, Raila Odinga stood firm. When chaos threatened to tear our nation apart, he chose dialogue over destruction, constitutionalism over ambition; an extraordinary act of statesmanship in an age that too often celebrates self-interest. But Raila Odinga’s influence reaches far beyond Kenya. He is a Pan-African visionary, an Afro-Optimist who deeply understands the intricate fabric of Africa’s struggles and possibilities. He is a beacon of hope who has dared to challenge injustice and lead with unwavering integrity, even in the face of overwhelming odds. He envisions a continent where trade routes are open, civil unrest is quelled, and Africa reclaims her sovereignty from the chains of foreign exploitation. This vision is not a mere ideal; it is a lifelong commitment, one that has been consistently reflected in his actions and principles. A vision that resonates from the savannahs of the Mara to the shores of Cape Town, from the markets of Lagos to the streets of Addis Ababa. Kenya, with its vibrant online sphere and culture of debate, owes much of its freedoms to Raila’s sacrifices. He fought tirelessly to enshrine the right to free expression and political participation in our constitution. Though he remains a figure both praised and criticized, this duality speaks to his humanity—imperfect, yet unwavering in his pursuit of progress. I speak from personal experience, having been both an ally and a critic. Yet in every instance, I have found in him a leader who listens, mentors, and empowers. In a time when the world yearns for leaders of integrity, vision, and courage, Raila Odinga stands as an enduring beacon. He is a man whose vision for Africa is not confined to today or tomorrow, but for generations to come. A visionary leader who, against all odds, has always prioritized the people over power; an attribute Africa desperately needs at this pivotal moment. Africa needs a leader who embodies wisdom, courage, and an unwavering belief in our collective destiny. A son of the soil, forged in the fires of struggle, and ready to lead us toward a brighter, united future. Africa, I present to you your son, by way of Kenya, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga.

A vision that resonates from the savannahs of the Mara to the shores of Cape Town, from the markets of Lagos to the streets of Addis Ababa. Kenya, with its vibrant online sphere and culture of debate, owes much of its freedoms to Raila’s sacrifices. He fought tirelessly to enshrine the right to free expression and political participation in our constitution. Though he remains a figure both praised and criticized, this duality speaks to his humanity—imperfect, yet unwavering in his pursuit of progress. I speak from personal experience, having been both an ally and a critic. Yet in every instance, I have found in him a leader who listens, mentors, and empowers. In a time when the world yearns for leaders of integrity, vision, and courage, Raila Odinga stands as an enduring beacon. He is a man whose vision for Africa is not confined to today or tomorrow, but for generations to come. A visionary leader who, against all odds, has always prioritized the people over power; an attribute Africa desperately needs at this pivotal moment. Africa needs a leader who embodies wisdom, courage, and an unwavering belief in our collective destiny. A son of the soil, forged in the fires of struggle, and ready to lead us toward a brighter, united future. Africa, I present to you your son, by way of Kenya, His Excellency, the Right Honourable Raila Amolo Odinga.

Today, we have a new pope. And these are images of his childhood church—now in ruins. The roof is collapsing, the door barely hangs on, and nature has claimed more space than people have in years. And yet… from this place, forgotten and broken, comes something new. Something holy. A reminder that God brings life from what the world has left behind. From ruin, resurrection. Thank you again for Dawn R who made a pilgrimage today to pray for the pope in his childhood home. It’s so incredibly moving.

Zay Flowers looks the TWITCHIEST he’s ever been in his career. Flowers is reportedly on a “mission” to establish himself as a Top-10 WR in the league this season. One NFL scout reportedly believes a “healthy” Flowers is the best WR from the 2023 NFL Draft class, over names like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison, and Puka Nacua. One anonymous NFL Executive reportedly said Flowers was the “toughest route runner” his team’s secondary had to face all of last season. Flowers is set to matchup against some of the best cover-CB’s in the game this season including Sauce Gardner, Christian Gonzalez, and Jaire Alexander. The Ravens former first round pick is about to TAKE OFF this season 🍿

The legitimacy of the case against the Islamic republic is first and foremost rooted in the demands of the Iranian people inside Iran, who have repeatedly risen up, most recently in the millions, to demand an end to this regime. In this movement, there has been only one name they have called for, and only one transitional leadership the Iranian people have fought for: Reza Pahlavi. Now that doesn’t mean every Iranian is a monarchist, and it doesn’t mean “restoring monarchy” either. If fact, Pahlavi himself has called for a transition to democracy and has only ever called for a transition leadership. Many people are calling for Pahlavi today who did not support the Shah in the past. The world is still talking over them. Instead of listening to the Iranian people, the international media and multiple governments around the world have consistently proposed plan after plan, actively ignoring the will of the Iranian people. They have minimized and in some cases even mocked the Crown Prince, when he and he alone has the ear of the people on the ground. There have been well funded and coordinated efforts against the Crown Prince attempting to cast doubt on his popularity with the Iranian public and to spread rumors that anyone who supports him as a traditional leader is “restoring monarchy”. He has been accused of all sorts of absurdities from being an “Israeli agent” to being asked to answer for political decisions of his father that have nothing to do with him and still he has maintained the respect and support of the Iranian people. This is a cataclysmic mistake on the part of the West. Iran is not Afghanistan or Venezuela. You will never have a successful foreign imposed leader like the terrorist Ghalibaf when the people are calling for something else entirely. How many times must the West repeat the same mistakes over and over against expecting different results?
