Damn, look at the milkers on Ethel 🥵 (I know I’m not beating the allegations at this point–underdressed old ladies are my thing) 3 months back, Theo Dudley started working with our team on this campaign for Levels Protein. Here's how we made it (and AI copyright tips): 🧵👇

Look at his behaviour on camera at the Kill Dil premiere with Parineeti. Shraddha and even Ranveer. The way he gets all touchy and clingy is so uncomfortable to watch. If this is how he behaves when cameras are rolling, imagine what happens off camera. I genuinely regret listening to his songs. Whatever respect or appreciation I had for him over the years just vanished after hearing that statement. And his whole "I didn't harass beautiful women" logic is so senseless. Harassment has nothing to do with how beautiful someone is. Strong women can be harassed too. So can young girls and elderly women. It's about power, entitlement and crossing someone’s boundaries. That’s what makes his comment so deplorable.

Je me suis rendu chez l'individu le plus instruit que j'ai rencontré de toute ma vie, un philanthrope, un général, le premier pilote noir de l'Air Force, un homme d'affaires possédant plus de 25 entreprises opérationnelles dans le monde entier, le Dr Robert. Qui est aussi mon père Adoptif, Je me demandais quoi offrir à un homme qui possède tout, une richesse incommensurable et un parcours qui ressemble à un mythe. Après m'être longuement interrogé, j'ai décidé de lui offrir deux beaux ouvrages, des cadeaux que l'argent ne peut acheter. J'ai remarqué qu'il les a reçus avec une grande humilité, me remerciant à plusieurs reprises comme s'il avait reçu un luxe qui lui manquait. Ses conseils : 1. Your only problem is that you are too smart for your age and such IQ in Africa, you will never be understood. I advise that you go do your PhD so that it makes more sense. You can’t be as young and as intelligent without a PhD; it’s insane. Please continue your studies, my son, that’s the best Advise for life . 2. Un jour je vais mourir, toi aussi et d’ailleurs tout le monde partira riche ou pauvre, une autre génération existera dont nous aurons aucune idée à quoi ressemblera la vie du futur, mais fais-moi une seule faveur, quand mon jour arrive, à ton arrivée, qu’on t’appelle Dr Corneille et non Mr Corneille. Il y a une grande différence dans ces 2 appellations, tu comprendras plus tard. 3. Il ajoute, ne trahit jamais ton drapeau ou ton entourage, peu importe ta frustration ou besoin, la seule chose que un Homme a de plus précieux, c’est sa loyauté envers lui-même et sa patrie. J’ai servi notre souveraineté toute ma vie, ma jeunesse quand les Oppressions Coloniales étaient monnaie courante, quand dire ce que l’on pensé était un crime pour défendre son pays, aujourd’hui je me réjouis de l’amour et la paix d’Esprit parce que je sais que je n’ai jamais trahi mon pays 4. Peu importe la classe sociale de ton interlocuteur, ne laisse jamais personne te faire croire que tu es moins que lui et qu’il est Dieu, sois serein, charismatique, respectueux et surtout clair dans tes arguments sans filtre. Crains seulement et respecte les autres avec amour et bienveillance. Un milliard est beau, je sais, si tu ajoutes un PhD, ça prend une autre forme. Exemple, autant riche que tu peux devenir, si tu ne sais écrire ou lire t’es mal barré 😅 5. Si tu peux aider un étudiant, fais-le, c’est une force. Apprécie la vie, respecte la vie, et que ta seule religion soit le Ciel. Dieu est réel et c’est le seul maître du temps et de l’univers. 6. Il n’y a pas de raccourcis pour devenir un grand et toucher le sommet. le seul moyen d’imposer le respect à ton nom est le travail, on va te juger dans le bien ou le mal, mais reste focus et travaille pour que 3 générations après celle-ci, parle de toi sur la base de ton travail. 7. Aime les gens, mais fais attention, dans toutes les guerres que j’ai participées comme Général et Commandant des Armées dans plusieurs pays en Afrique ou au-delà des mers, j’ai vu l’homme trahir l’homme pour des intérêts et parfois pour des haines gratuites. 8. La diabolisation dans la politique et les affaires est monnaie courante, ne t’y concentre pas, travaille, fils ! La légèreté dans le travail peut te coûter la vie ou de grosses pertes, un mot mal utilisé dans un contrat peut changer la forme de tout dans les affaires. Lis et signe tes documents seul même si ton Avocat t’influence. 9. La sérénité est une arme que personne ne doit te prendre, même avec une arme pointée à la tête. Reste serein à tes convictions et dis-les tout haut sans filtre. 10. J’aime beaucoup le Congo, vous devriez travailler sans fermer l’œil pour que ce continent vous respecte un Jour, vous êtes l’Espoir du futur mondial,alors soyez Conscients . Aimez-vous. 11. Le meilleur et plus grand héritage que je te lègue, fils, est l’éducation, va faire ton PhD . 12. Quand tu es riche, tout le monde devient ami, quand tu fais une chute libre, les mêmes amis sont les premiers à te critiquer et à créer des histoires sur toi. Reste sage et protège ton entourage.

I remember when Nicki Minaj used to be so open with her life and truly let the Barbz into her world. That kind of access doesn’t happen by accident it came from love and trust. But looking at things now, I understand why she moves differently The truth is, a lot of people don’t respect her the way they should. Too many are fake, and loyalty just isn’t what it used to be. There was a time when she had no problem showing up for her fans paying for dinners, celebrating birthdays, even attending fans’ parties. She gave real support because she genuinely cared. And it’s sad to see how easily some people have taken that for granted I could never sit back and let someone disrespect Nicki. I’ve argued with family, lost friendships, and stood ten toes down behind her because that’s what loyalty looks like to me. She has shaped culture and impacted my life in a way I will never overlook. We are her fanbase but why don’t some of y’all act like it anymore? It’s easy to point fingers, but sometimes we need to look at ourselves and the energy we bring as a community Loyalty isn’t something you can teach. You either have it, or you don’t. And maybe that’s exactly why she protects her space more now

My birthday is in 20 days from TODAY 14th NOVEMBER🔥💰 My life took a new shift when I joined crypto & Web3 in November 2020, exactly my birthday month. With N340k (naira) COVID-19 loan. Over the period of 5 years, by the Grace of God, I've been able to grow that N340k to billions (naira) in the crypto market. The exciting part of it is the over 5000 young people across 57 countries of the world who have become millionaires and multi-millionnaires in the period of these five years and a millionaire in dollars. With my help lots of people got married to their dream woman and man, started businesses, invested in real estate; house and Landed properties, bought/built houses, got new cars, relocated to thee dream destination country, furthered their education, etc. All Glory to God who made it possible through his Grace & functional wisdom in my life. I won't also leave the part that some people also have lost money following my direction in the Web3 & crypto market especially given the terrible market setback of late 2024 and early 2025. Which I also lost a huge part of the money I made from the market too running in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Be it as it may, the important thing now is that regardless of the losses, we're still in the market and by God's new and fresh insights, we're making money from the market right now, I've at least made back 20% of the money I lost last year & early this Year combined in the past 3 months trading Binance Alpha TGEs projects & AI narratives. Trusting God to make it all back with at least 10X before the end of 2026. Back to my Birthday🔥💰 I've been reflecting on how I would celebrate my birthday this Year. Just to hint you a bit— I started celebrating my birthday when crypto made me a millionaire in 2021. I celebrated my 2021 birthday in my first ever physical Web3 & Crypto conference I hosted. After I bought my first car, same month. In 2022, I decided to do something different, I organized a family & friends diner party celebration in a hotel. It was an amazingly beautiful seeing people I love & that love me celebrating me. When 2023 birthday came, I needed a breath of something new, so I decided to celebrated my birthday (Giving Back to my online Community) by hosting an X space here on Twitter on my birthday (14th DAY of November) where I did a giveaway of $2k to space participants. When my 2024 birthday came, a thought to try something new flashed, prior before then, I had bought my second car, which happened to be my dream car, and relocated to a new city, traveled to 6 countries thesame 2024 added to a few other countries I have traveled to in 2023 but I needed to celebrate my birthday in another country, so I traveled to Qatar where I celebrated my birthday experiencing a different environment with different people. In 20 days, I will be celebrating my 2025 birthday, although I don't yet know how to celebrate it but I don't want to celebrate it the way I have celebrated other birthdays. As such, the only thought in my mind now is to celebrate it with a dinner date with my girl😚 in Monaco or Paris💰 Not concluded yet, but that's the thought in my mind right now. If you've got great ideas, kindly let me know on the comment section. Thanks, I value your recommendation and you. If you also want me to celebrate it in heaven, you can sponsor it🤣🤣 Mr. Black

Rest in peace, Sir Garry. There will never, ever be another like you. It is with a incredibly heavy heart that I hear the news of the passing of the greatest of them all, Sir Garfield Sobers. For anyone who loves this beautiful game, Sir Garry wasn’t just a cricketer; he was the ultimate standard of what a cricketer could be. When we talk about all-rounders today, we often look at players who can balance two disciplines. But Sir Garry? He was a master of five. He could bat like a dream, bowl fast-medium with the new ball, switch seamlessly to orthodox left-arm spin, bowl wrist spin, and field like a panther at short leg or in the slips. To watch him walk onto a cricket field, with that loose, rhythmic Caribbean stride, collars turned up, was to watch absolute majesty in motion. He played the game with a sublime joy and a fierce, competitive dignity that defined an entire era. I remember the sheer awe he inspired whenever India played the West Indies. You couldn't take your eyes off him. Even when he was taking the game away from you, you couldn't help but marvel at the genius of the man. His 365 not out stood as a mountain for decades, and those six sixes in an over became the stuff of folklore. Yet, off the field, he was always an absolute gentleman—warm, incredibly generous with his knowledge, and fiercely proud of the game's finest traditions. Cricket has lost its brightest jewel today. The stands are a little quieter, and the game is poorer without him. My deepest condolences go out to his family, his friends, and to every cricket lover across the Caribbean and the world who is mourning this incomparable loss.

Seeing this video truly breaks my heart! It is heartbreaking to know that someone had the great opportunity to meet Cortis, yet chose to overlook one of the members 💔 Look at his gentle expression, he had his brightest smile prepared just to greet you, but he was left unnoticed. What did he do to deserve that? Even if time was fleeting or the crowd was moving quickly, simply calling out his name would have meant everything. 😔 Cortis consists of only five members, and it would be so wonderful if we could cherish every single one of them. Even if he isn’t your bias, could you at least give him some respect? I understand that everyone invests a great deal into these tickets and has every right to choose who they wish to interact with. Yet, as compassionate human beings, it is deeply sorrowful to see someone so young and full of pure enthusiasm be intentionally ignored. It truly hurts to witness. 😔 He also poured his heart and soul into his hard work to debut with Cortis. He is such a kind-hearted soul, always deeply polite and incredibly devoted to his fans. He truly deserves to receive that same love in return! Personally, as a Keonho fan, I feel so sad and deeply disappointed. How must he feel? I sincerely hope BigHit considers retiring this hi-bye benefit, as it ultimately brings more heartache than joy! #KEONHO #건호

1️⃣ I did everything I could for Ritual I made all kinds of contributions. For 8 months, I contributed to Ritual, but I am extremely disappointed with their system. I made 181 contributions on X, bought Canva Premium to design infographics, and sent almost 17,000 messages. Despite all this, I have been permanently ignored for 8 months. Two of my friends, Ashish.Base.eth (❖,❖) (230 contributions) and KUNDAN (150 contributions), are facing the same treatment. Because of this unfair and favoritism based system, I decided to post on Twitter to expose it. When we raised our voice after 6 months of hard work and 150+ contributions, the so called Indian community handlers and famous team members labeled it as FUD and continued ignoring us. 2️⃣ When we asked the Indian community handlers why we were not given roles after 8 months, they said: “We can’t do anything, the team decides.” But when we contacted the team or mods, they said: “Go back to the Indian community handlers, they will help you.” If these handlers and big mods really can’t do anything, then why are they even here? They are here to build connections This system has been making fun of me and other hard working contributors. 3️⃣ Now look at the people who received roles based on “quality contributions.” Everything is available with proof. One person (Yaneul) got a role with only 15 very low quality contributions (mostly food and event screenshots). He even got Ritualist with just 25 contributions. This clearly shows either connections were used or it could be a mod’s second account. Another person (placboeffect) got a role with just 9 contributions. Many people received roles at 35, 40, 50, 55, 60 contributions, while I had 181 contributions. This is what they call “quality contributions.” 4️⃣ Now decide yourself: Who contributed more? Who worked harder? People contributing for 8 months to 1 year are ignored, while others get roles at 9 or 25 contributions. Yes, we may have wasted our time, but we did work hard. 5️⃣ I didn’t want to come to X. but after contributing like a mad person and getting ignored, I don’t want to waste my time anymore. 6️⃣ I don’t know if the Josh (❖,❖) admin is aware of how mods and team are damaging this project Claire (❖,❖) she just help her country mates doesn't care about other people. 7️⃣ What’s the worst that can happen? They will ban me, and my 8 months of contributions will be wasted. There was never respect for real contributors anyway. If I had good connections with mods, I wouldn’t have struggled this much. It’s not like Ritual is my life, or Web3 has only Ritual, or they gave me any role to take back. Now I will openly speak on X without fear. 8️⃣ Some fearful people will read this post. They know everything that’s happening, but they won’t comment because they are scared. I understand their fear. --- 9️⃣ Best of luck to those who keep working blindly despite seeing all this. And special luck to those who have roles because of good connections with mods. --- 🔟 Last The so called Indian community handlers are only mods by name. One of them is a paid event manager, doing the job only for money. Another handler sends one message after 10 days. These are the people leading us in Ritual, who don’t even know what they’re doing. Jez ritual/acc (❖,❖) dunken(ritual/acc) (❖,❖) Stefan | Mad Scientist (❖,❖) Hinata Sir W A R D E N you are mod in Donut and Dhillon saab π² you are mod at data haven, Choudhary (Ø,G) ꧁IP꧂ you are mod at Capx and sir Botsan (capx arc) you are Admin of Capx You should learn from ritual mods how to ignore real contributors and how to promote favourtism

I grew up hearing and researching stories of war and peace-from both sides of the Pacific. On the morning of September 2, 1945, at 9 am, a ceremony was held aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, where Japan signed the instrument of surrender. The Chinese representative, signing immediately after General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz, was the third to place his name on the document, marking the formal end of WWII. When the news reached China, the entire nation erupted in celebration. From then on, September 3 became China's V Day-a day that symbolizes the shared honor and triumph of the 57 nations of the Allied coalition. Today, China held a grand commemoration to mark this moment worth remembering. During my studies in the United States, I was often struck by how little people around me knew about China's understanding of WWII. In China, America's wartime support is still remembered-above all the Flying Tigers, who are household names, honored as heroes, and cherished as a symbol of Sino-American friendship. At the same time, I was also surprised that even the most rigorous American history scholars remain largely unaware of China's sacrifices and contributions. One American history professor I deeply respect, who never shied away from criticizing America's own diplomatic flaws, and who has been one of the most important teachers in shaping my understanding of the US, once asked me in puzzlement: "Why does China believe it won WWII? Didn't the United States win the war?" The Allied victory came at a staggering cost to China. It was this cost that earned the deep respect of FDR, as seen in my recent tweets drawing on FDR archives. And it was precisely because of these sacrifices that China was accorded the honor of being the third to sign the surrender instrument on September 2, 1945. My great-grandfather was among the witnesses of that history. As a major general, he led his troops through immense sacrifices to win several hard-fought battles. I once read the memoirs of a veteran who recalled how, during Sunday assemblies of his division, he would often speak about Sino-American relations "in an inspiring way". Over the past decade, I have spent time in the Roosevelt Library in New York, exploring extensive American wartime archives, and I have also met many American veterans and descendants of US generals. As a historian, together with these American friends, I often worry that this once-precious friendship is being forgotten far too quickly in the US. It could remind us that, in the darkest of times, our two nations placed trust in one another and fought side by side. It could serve as a historical foundation for rebuilding mutual understanding and trust between our peoples. It could also provide, amid today's shifting and complicated realities, a shared point of connection across generations. I was originally invited to attend today's events and had my pass prepared, but due to some miscommunication I regrettably missed the chance to be at Tiananmen Square. Nevertheless, I had the privilege of witnessing the grand celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the PRC in 2019, and today, from the balcony of my home, I was still able to catch a glimpse of the festivities at Tiananmen, capturing a few photos and videos as a personal memory. Top left: At the opening, 80 ceremonial cannon shots were fired, symbolizing the 80 years since 1945. Top right: Just before the People's Liberation Army parade on Tiananmen Square, helicopters flew overhead carrying banners that read "Justice will prevail, Peace will prevail, The People will prevail." In the distance, you can see the Forbidden City. Bottom left: Fighter jets passing in formation to receive review. Bottom right: Close the end of the parade, 80,000 doves of peace and 80,000 balloons were released. All balloons are biodegradable. As a descendant of a WWII veteran, as a historian who has studied the WWII extensively, and as a friend to many American WWII veterans and their families, I feel deeply connected to this commemoration. This moment does not belong to China alone-it belongs to all who have fought, hoped and sacrificed for peace. May history never be forgotten, and may peace never be forsaken.

oh this will sting so much im not ready 😮‍💨 #เสน่หาวาโย *SPOILERS* :') . . . "wayo" "blew" "karel told me you wanted to see me" "yes. i wanted to see you once more. not as princess catherine... just as blew. i'm leaving for thailand" "i know. karel told me about the change in your plans. don't worry—he'll handle everything" "so... this is really how our story ends, like a fairytale with no happy ending?" catherine looked into the eyes of the woman who spoke to her in such quiet, broken voice—full of so much unspoken emotion. and in those eyes, she saw the reflection of her own shaken soul. "i'm sorry, wayo" her voice, heavy with guilt and sorrow, fell softly. she lowered her gaze—unable to look at the pain, the disappointment, the heartbreak in wayo's eyes. and part of her was afraid—afraid that her own sorrow, equally deep, would be seen. that the one who loved her most might refuse to let their story end. but they couldn't go on. there was never a path for the two of them to walk together. even if it was brief, catherine would never forget the memories, the feelings that she had never experienced with anyone else before. even if the love couldn't be. even if they couldn't be. she would carry her love for wayo quietly, within the depths of her own heart... "from now on, i want you to live your life well—even without me. and i'll do the same. i'll live and fulfill my duties the best i can" "so you can really forget everything we had?" "no matter how long, i promise i'll never forget the story and memories of phatpha and wind" "is there any way... we can go back to being wind and phatpha?" "i can't be selfish and pursue my own happiness—not when so many lives have been sacrificed. in madelin, i have so many duties i can't turn my back on. at the very least... think of it this way—when helena, the fake princess, left this world... i died in your heart, too. because phatpha is gone from wind's world... and will never return" at last, the truth wayo had dreaded came to pass. all the time she spent waiting, trying to delay the inevitable, had been in vain. she couldn't hold on to the heart she loved or the hand she once held. "you know... it feels like you just broke up with me, blew" "wayo..." "and this love... it hurts more than anything i've ever known. because i got my heart broken... without even being yours" catherine watched tears spill from wayo's reddened eyes, the pain too much to contain. her heart felt crushed—shattered into fragments just as wayo's heart. if the pieces of their hearts were scattered by the wind across this garden, no one would ever know whose heartbreak hurt more. "i love you. this will be the last time i ever say it—even if you never loved me back. goodbye forever, princess catherine" wayo bowed her head in respect to the noble princess catherine, her farewell words cutting deeper into the wounds of her heart—so deep - it was almost unbearable. but life had to go on. just like now, as she forced her weakened legs to move forward, while the princess walked away, back to her rightful place. the distance between them stretched farther with each step until it was far beyond reach. just like their hearts—never meant to walk side by side...

A German journalist also got to see more of GTA 6 and talked about it at Gamescom. I’ve translated some important details into English: -Got to see live gameplay, played by Rockstar’s Rob Nelson -Was even allowed to give instructions during the gameplay -He saw a huge number of improvements and evolutions compared to Red Dead Redemption 2 -It feels like all of Rockstar’s previous games have somehow come together in this one -The extended look is apparently just the tip of the iceberg -He specifically wanted to see how simply hanging out and existing in the world would work -Things that would normally have been scripted into missions can now happen organically in the open world -People will comment on your clothing, both as Lucia and as Jason -One NPC whistled at Lucia while she was wearing a short skirt and commented, “Nice ass” -You can decide whether Lucia and Jason kiss when greeting each other or not -You can buy drinks for each other -You can even gain Honor by doing seemingly small things, such as throwing away litter (for example, a milkshake) -He saw all of this gameplay running on a base PS5 (he didn’t exactly follow the cables lol) -The game genuinely looked as good as it did in the Extended Look. He was skeptical at first, but eventually thought, “Fuck, it really does look this good” -The game is absolutely packed with stuff -It was hinted that there are various "tools" -Police no longer appear on the minimap -You can actually tell whether the police are identifying you based on your clothes, your face, your car, or whether you are traveling with your partner -There is a focus mode that was described as being similar to Witcher Sense -You won’t be able to break into every car from the very beginning -The variety of NPCs and activities is described as absolutely crazy -There are tons of funny little interactions. For example, he saw an NPC walking her dog; the dog pooped, and she actually pulled out a plastic bag and picked it up -The world is absolutely packed with NPCs. In a club, there are huge crowds of people, with everyone doing their own thing -People in Miami are very willing to approach you and interact with you -You can greet people, antagonize them, or try to defuse a situation -This creates far more opportunities for player choice and reminded him of old-school text adventures -NPCs seem to have distinct personalities of their own (some are reserved, others are aggressive, and so on) -The streets are narrower, which makes driving feel different -E-scooters can actually be a useful way of losing the police -Police officers can tase you -He personally thinks the game is even more impressive at night, with all the neon lights and the overall atmosphere -You can’t completely ruin Lucia and Jason’s relationship, and they can’t break up -When Lucia and Jason are close to each other, switching between them is almost seamless -You can switch from driving to the passenger and, for example, browse your social media feed while riding along -The social media system was compared to Instagram -Cycling has an impact on your Athletic

A Citadel quant sat down next to me at Verve on Gough and asked why my laptop had four terminals open I was scanning Polymarket. Four panes. Each one a different agent. He was killing time before a flight. Saw the screens. "Is that a multi-agent setup on prediction markets. Who's orchestrating" Claude. One prompt per agent. They don't share memory. Only a queue file. He pulled up a chair. "Walk me through. I do this for equities at work. I want to see your agent separation" Agent 1 is the scanner. I piped raw JSON from the official Polymarket CLI straight into Claude and told it to score every live market on three things. Edge against my probability estimate. Book depth on both sides. Hours to resolution. Thresholds kill 93% of markets before the brain ever sees them. Edge under 7 cents gone. Depth under $500 gone. Under 4 hours to resolution gone. Over 168 gone. 487 live markets collapse to 35. "Seven cents is your transaction cost buffer" Yes. Below that the gas and spread eat the trade. A green fill popped. +$52 on a BTC dominance market. "And the brain" Agent 2. Runs four checks on every survivor. Base rate from history. News in the last six hours. Whether any of the 47 top wallets are currently holding. And a disposition check - is the crowd making a known cognitive error. Three out of four must agree. Otherwise drop it. 86 million trades. I let Claude rank every wallet with 100+ fills and a 70%+ win rate. It returned 47 names in four minutes. Top 20 wallets made more than the bottom 13,000 combined. "Concentration like that means the signal is there. Most retail books look like a normal curve. Yours looks like power law" Kelly sizing does the rest. Capped at quarter Kelly. If f-star goes negative the trade dies no matter how confident I feel. "Overbet once and the bankroll is gone. You respect that. Good" Agent 3 is execution. Three strategies pulled out of a 53k line Typescript repo. Arbitrage across related markets. Convergence when price moves toward my estimate. Whale copy with a 60 second delay on the 47 wallets. Two agents agree full position. One agent only half. Disagreement no trade. "What did you cut" Sports. 52% win rate. Already priced in before the scanner flags it. Markets under $50k in depth. Slippage makes every edge a coin flip. Holding to settlement. The top wallets exit at 73% of max profit every time. I copied that. Agent 4 watches exits. Three triggers. Target hit at 85% of expected move. Volume spike 3x the ten minute average. Thesis stale 24 hours with no movement. "91% of the smart wallets exit before resolution. That's the trade" Yeah. Being right is not the same as being profitable. Setup: Claude API $20 Hetzner VPS $5 Four repos free Total $25 a month $200 seed. 27 days ago. $14,300 now. 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe 2.47. Copy here: "How long did the build take" Two weekends. One to wire the scanner and the CLI. One to get the agents talking through the queue file. He watched the volume exit trigger fire on a Fed cut market. Position closed at 0.71. +$184. "Nobody at my shop runs four agents on their own money. We run eight on the firm's. You got the same structure on a laptop for the price of a sandwich a month" He asked for the repos. I sent them. He messaged me from the gate. "Publishing this tomorrow. My PM is going to ask me why I didn't do it first" I told him his PM already has a Bloomberg. That's the problem.

A case of two coronary scans: Nick Norwitz (high-fat, keto 🍳); Simon Hill (plant-based 🌱) First, for context, this post is largely in response to an incredibly nuanced and non-dogmatic podcast conversation between Dave Feldman and Darius Sharpe, one that had me scratching my chin and holding my ribs throughout. I definitely recommend giving it a listen. 12/10 Episode! They spend a substantial amount of time discussing cardiovascular risk and, in particular, the contrast between my coronary CT scan, showing 0 calcified and 0 soft plaque (total plaque 0mm3) despite astronomical LDL levels in the high 500s for seven years vs that of plant-based nutrition influencer Simon Hill, which showed 61.3 mm3 of plaque despite his never having had high LDL and, for the last decade or so, targeting exceptionally low LDL and ApoB, including by taking a PCSK9 inhibitor and eating a low-saturated-fat, plant-forward diet. First and foremost, there’s only so much you can conclude from a comparison of two cases. That’s obvious, so let me state that clearly. However, considering the broader context and expressed public interested, it’s still an interesting thought puzzle: What is “protecting” me from atherosclerosis, or what is leading Simon to develop plaque despite his low LDL and ApoB? I’ll address the common hand-wavy answer up front: “Well, maybe Nick has some special protective genetics.” What I’d say to this is that, although I can’t rule it out definitively since we haven’t annotated the entire human genome, my father had 99% occlusion of his left anterior descending artery at 44, and I also inherited his high Lp(a), which sits between 150 and 200. That is in addition to my historically exceptionally high LDL and a history of inflammatory bowel disease, which should further increase my risk of progression. Yet despite all of that, I have no measurable plaque, even though, as the patient, I can tell you that many cardiologists assured me I would. Additionally, the excuse that “he’s just young” doesn’t fly, since Simon is also young. We’re both in our 30s. And, as a historical comparator, children with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia can develop plaque within a few years of being born. So, puzzle me this: Why am I not developing plaque if the relationship between LDL/ApoB exposure and plaque progression is so "remarkably consistent?" Hand-wave if you want, but I’d like something more specific please. (And I’d like anybody to tell me why they think I was confident enough to spend seven years on a self-experiment, risking my heart on the bet that this would effectively be the outcome. Was I just cocky and lucky?) That’s mostly what I want to post: a thought question to consider based on two individuals who have chosen to make their data publicly available. However, since this field is so wrapped in controversy, let me elaborate on a few more points that are related. 1. KETO-CTA. To anyone who wants to pivot and try to point the finger at KETO-CTA, I will remind you that, in 4 separate analyses, there was no relationship between LDL or ApoB and plaque progression. That remains true to this day. In fact, it's a result that remains more robust for having had our hands forced to run the additional analyses. With respect to our retraction of the April 7th Cleerly paper, which continues to be misrepresented (at this point, I have to assume willfully) I will remind you: i) we the authors, pushed forward the retraction of the April 7 paper; it was not forced upon us ii) we did so because of the Cleerly anomalies that came to light after publication – nb: Dave and I were blinded to elements of data willfully to protect the integrity of the project (there’s an irony for you) iii) we sought retraction only after company’s refusal to repeat a properly blinded rescan and quality assessment, and subsequent analyses that made the only reasonable interpretation that Cleerly systematically overestimated plaque progression iv) in none of the analyses did ApoB or LDL predict plaque progression, which was the main novel finding and remains robust. 2. Ezetimibe I am now taking ezetimibe. Critics have tried to cast this - incorrectly - as some form of me hedging, but I intentionally did not start it until after my 7-year scan, and I am not withholding any information from or about that scan. The reason I’m taking ezetimibe, which I have very clearly disclosed, including in my newsletter and in a video, is 2024 Aging Biology research suggesting cholesterol-independent effects on neuroprotection, which is something that’s important to me. The fact that I am taking it, I would cast as a testament that I’m not dogmatic on this issue, and I’m not trying to “LDL-maxx” for some aware. Rather, I’m being open, honest and transparent in my journey as a person and patient trying to make the best decision for myself at ever step of the journey. Also, on the topic of ezetimibe, see recent work by Adrian Soto-Mota DoctorTro et al., which adds another layer of nuance to LDL and ApoB management in the context of low-carbohydrate diets. TL;DR, if someone sees their LDL and ApoB rise on a low-carbohydrate / ketogenic diet, ezetimibe is likely to punch above its weight for LDL and ApoB reduction. Setting aside dogma, understanding individual biology and how to manipulate it can often be very useful in a clinical setting. I will always put data first. Acknowledging this fact is not contradictory to anything I’ve said, but completely consistent with it. It is all about individual context. Now, everyone should go listen to episode 43 of TFP_ with Dave Feldman and Darius Sharpe (Spotify, Apple and YouTube). It’s stupendous! P.S. I want to thank Dave for sharing on the podcast that, before each of my cardiac scans, I said a priori that I would release the results, whatever they were. You all know Dave to be impeccably honest. That is not in dispute, and it has always been my intent to share my data openly, as I have.

A case of two coronary scans: Nick Norwitz (high-fat, keto 🍳); Simon Hill (plant-based 🌱) First, for context, this post is largely in response to an incredibly nuanced and non-dogmatic podcast conversation between Dave Feldman and Darius Sharpe, one that had me scratching my chin and holding my ribs throughout. I definitely recommend giving it a listen. 12/10 Episode! They spend a substantial amount of time discussing cardiovascular risk and, in particular, the contrast between my coronary CT scan, showing 0 calcified and 0 soft plaque (total plaque 0mm3) despite astronomical LDL levels in the high 500s for seven years vs that of plant-based nutrition influencer Simon Hill, which showed 61.3 mm3 of plaque despite his never having had high LDL and, for the last decade or so, targeting exceptionally low LDL and ApoB, including by taking a PCSK9 inhibitor and eating a low-saturated-fat, plant-forward diet. First and foremost, there’s only so much you can conclude from a comparison of two cases. That’s obvious, so let me state that clearly. However, considering the broader context and expressed public interested, it’s still an interesting thought puzzle: What is “protecting” me from atherosclerosis, or what is leading Simon to develop plaque despite his low LDL and ApoB? I’ll address the common hand-wavy answer up front: “Well, maybe Nick has some special protective genetics.” What I’d say to this is that, although I can’t rule it out definitively since we haven’t annotated the entire human genome, my father had 99% occlusion of his left anterior descending artery at 44, and I also inherited his high Lp(a), which sits between 150 and 200. That is in addition to my historically exceptionally high LDL and a history of inflammatory bowel disease, which should further increase my risk of progression. Yet despite all of that, I have no measurable plaque, even though, as the patient, I can tell you that many cardiologists assured me I would. Additionally, the excuse that “he’s just young” doesn’t fly, since Simon is also young. We’re both in our 30s. And, as a historical comparator, children with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia can develop plaque within a few years of being born. So, puzzle me this: Why am I not developing plaque if the relationship between LDL/ApoB exposure and plaque progression is so "remarkably consistent?" Hand-wave if you want, but I’d like something more specific please. (And I’d like anybody to tell me why they think I was confident enough to spend seven years on a self-experiment, risking my heart on the bet that this would effectively be the outcome. Was I just cocky and lucky?) That’s mostly what I want to post: a thought question to consider based on two individuals who have chosen to make their data publicly available. However, since this field is so wrapped in controversy, let me elaborate on a few more points that are related. 1. KETO-CTA. To anyone who wants to pivot and try to point the finger at KETO-CTA, I will remind you that, in 4 separate analyses, there was no relationship between LDL or ApoB and plaque progression. That remains true to this day. In fact, it's a result that remains more robust for having had our hands forced to run the additional analyses. With respect to our retraction of the April 7th Cleerly paper, which continues to be misrepresented (at this point, I have to assume willfully) I will remind you: i) we the authors, pushed forward the retraction of the April 7 paper; it was not forced upon us ii) we did so because of the Cleerly anomalies that came to light after publication – nb: Dave and I were blinded to elements of data willfully to protect the integrity of the project (there’s an irony for you) iii) we sought retraction only after company’s refusal to repeat a properly blinded rescan and quality assessment, and subsequent analyses that made the only reasonable interpretation that Cleerly systematically overestimated plaque progression iv) in none of the analyses did ApoB or LDL predict plaque progression, which was the main novel finding and remains robust. 2. Ezetimibe I am now taking ezetimibe. Critics have tried to cast this - incorrectly - as some form of me hedging, but I intentionally did not start it until after my 7-year scan, and I am not withholding any information from or about that scan.

PREVIEW: I was invited to a press preview of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced in Paris, back in April, as I previously mentioned, and I played ~3 hours🚀 Here are my impressions: 🎞️Visuals & Performance: being a remake, the visuals are quite well upgraded, making the most of modern tech and the beauty of the setting, creating a breathtaking atmosphere ✅Stunning environment ✅Dreamy natural beauty & grounded world ✅Photorealistic character models ✅Smooth animations ✅Sharp resolution ✅Runs at 60fps 🕹️Gameplay & Upgrades: The game is a faithful remake, with new gameplay systems, along with enhancements to the original formula ✅New gameplay systems ✅Faithfulness is the main priority ✅Enhanced parkour (still faithful) ✅Manual jumps and side ejects ✅Seamless exploration of cities ✅Zip-lines added ✅Dynamic weather ✅Brand new content expanding narrative ✅Quests with new secrets ✅Original modern day replace with rifts ✅Rifts explore “what if” scenarios ✅6 hours of extra gameplay ✅3 new recruitable officers ✅New storylines for the new officers ✅New chapter to play as Robert Mena ✅Extended endings for iconic characters ✅Hideout side quests ✅New collectibles ✅Forts modernized with new content ✅New voice lines for activities ✅New islands with rewarding secrets ✅New world moments ✅New content for the hideout ✅History of the villa explored ✅Heated shots new naval weapon in seq 3 ✅Explosive fire barrels w/wider effect ✅Swivel gun can now be manually aimed ✅Rebuilt combat system rewarding to skill ✅No skill trees, all unlocks from the start ✅Enemies now have defense meter ✅Meter is depleted with a perfect parry ✅New perfect parry depends on weapon ✅Heavy strike (high damage/wide area) ✅Shove to wall/ground > new take downs ✅Stealth inspired by Shadows ✅Crouch option added ✅Visibility affected by day/night & weather ✅Whistle/breaking things blow your cover ✅Rope dart unlocks in sequence 3 ✅Ambient dialogue leads to new quests ✅Raise and lower your hood option The new enhancements make the game far more entertaining compared to the original, except for one controversial change of bit having Hidden Blade combat, except in stealth assassinations/take downs Everything else effectively elevates the original design and makes gameplay either feel just as good, or more refined 🧬Changes: with this remake comes a few elements that were removed from the original, which may upset some players ✅Menus have been revamped and they don’t feature the DNA sequence tracker ✅Difficulty can be tailored with much more detail from the menu ✅Switch between and choose your favorite Sea Shanties to be performed by your crew ✅No hidden blade combat. The Hidden Blade is mainly used for stealth take-downs ✅No present day segments. I was informed that it will be replaced with new moments that explore Edward’s past with his wife, along with some “what if” scenarios like Edward siding with the Templars, for example, likely related to Juno’s involvement in the original narrative 📜Thoughts: While the demo I played featured only a portion of the map, Resynced has potential to replace the original as the definitive experience of Edward Kenway’s story I also wasn’t able to experience any of Rifts that replace the modern day, so for me, as a fan of the series’ lore and present day since 2007, the absence of a traditional modern day is the only let down that prevents me from fully replacing the original with it, as present day and sci-do elements are the DNA of the franchise and what makes it stand out It would also be great if mission replay is added later, a feature the OG had by default, like its predecessors That said, everything else very much elevated what was in the original, which made going back to replay it show how dated it feels by comparison I look forward to the final game, and to see future games inherit this formula of a defined protagonist, focused progression and no RPG elements😎

Norway is the best country in Europe by far and it's not even close. 🇳🇴 How do I know? 1- my wife's family is from there, and I have ancestry from there too (albeit less)... AKA BASED 😎 2- If I had to pick one European country that American conservatives should admire the most, it would be Norway. Underneath the modern politics is a culture that still values many of the things conservatives care about. Norway consistently ranks among the safest countries in the world. Violent crime remains relatively low, corruption is among the lowest anywhere on Earth, and there's a deep sense of high trust that didn't happen by accident. It was built over centuries through strong communities (especially small and local), and a culture that expects people to actually contribute rather than simply consume. Its history matters. Norway spent centuries as a Christian kingdom after the conversion of King Olaf II in the 11th century. Christianity shaped its laws, holidays, moral framework, and national identity long before modern politics existed. Even today, despite increasing secularization, churches, Christian traditions, and holidays remain woven into Norwegian culture. Norwegians also have an unusually strong connection to their history. They celebrate their Constitution Day on May 17 with enormous pride. Families wear traditional bunads passed down through generations. Viking history isn't treated as something embarrassing to erase. It's part of the nation's story. Conservatives often talk about stewardship, and Norway is a fascinating example. When oil was discovered in the North Sea, the country didn't simply spend every dollar. It created what is now the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, worth well over $1.5 trillion. Instead of treating natural resources as a short-term windfall, they invested them for future generations. The country also has a deep outdoor culture. Hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing, and cabin life remain part of everyday Norwegian identity. Families spend weekends in the mountains instead of shopping malls. Children grow up learning self-reliance and respect for nature. Perhaps most importantly, Norway has maintained a remarkably strong sense of national identity for a country of just over 5.5 million people. They know their history. They preserve their traditions. They celebrate their heroes. They teach their children where they came from. No country is perfect, and American conservatives would disagree with Norway on plenty of modern political issues. But if you strip away today's gotchas and look at the foundations, Norway demonstrates that a nation with strong historical roots, a shared culture, pride in its heritage, and a long Christian tradition can build one of the most stable and prosperous societies in Europe. It has one of the highest standards of living in Europe. Norway is based. Those are lessons worth paying attention to. 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Recently did an interview with the lead developer of Knight's Path on the title's future release and the state of the industry. The Western AAA gaming industry has shifted its focus away from its core audience, favoring products for smaller, less engaged demographics. This shift has led to a noticeable disconnect between large publishers and their traditional fan base. This has, however, created an environment for indies to thrive. They can prioritize authenticity and community, crafting games that resonate with their players and that is exactly the case with Knight's Path. In December of 2023, Knights Path: The Tournament was released to Very Positive reviews on Steam. It is a short medieval RPG featuring challenging combat, an immersive progression system, and a nice little story. It served as an announcement, a combat concept demo, and a teaser for the forthcoming open-world RPG Knight's Path, which is currently in active development. I asked what their plans were regarding the scope of the full release. While you might get the impression that Knight's Path is an arena fighting game, that’s not the case with the full release. "Knight's Path will be a proper open-world, story-driven RPG. Of course, as a small indie team, we’re keeping the scope modest. The open world will be compact but dense, featuring one town, one village, castle ruins, forests, valleys, and other areas to explore." Many gamers would agree it is better to have a limited number of fully fleshed-out areas than to present a gigantic, empty world. This has been a major criticism levied towards recent releases like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and even modern Assassins Creed, which tends to rely on repetitive gameplay loops scattered across an overly large map, which can feel more like busywork than meaningful exploration. I have always believed that quality over quantity is the best way to go. The team has also made this a priority with things such as the story and weapon types. "We plan to include three main weapon types: longsword, sword and shield, and bows. These will feature the full progression system seen in the demo, with skill levels such as Novice, Adept, Expert, and Master. Players will need to learn individual skills from different trainers to progress. In addition, we’re introducing secondary weapons like spears, halberds, and other polearms. These won’t have RPG-style progression but will still offer variety in combat." Regarding the story, they plan to be bold and strive to create a 16-28 hour-long main campaign. "The story will be divided into four chapters, with each chapter offering around 4–7 hours of gameplay. As in the demo, the player character begins as a nobody, slowly learning how to wield a sword and eventually becoming a knight. However, the progression will be much more realistic than in the demo, where the peasant hilariously transformed into a champion in just four days." This is a far cry from many games that are released nowadays. In just 2024 alone at a glance, the AA release Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn provided an average of 8 hours of content, Princess Peach: Showtime at 10 hours, Silent Hill 2 Remake at 15, and even the GOTY winner Astrobot holds an average playtime of 10 hours. A major issue within the industry is the way we are treated by the people who only have jobs because of our favorite hobby. In 2024 the gaming industry is forecasted to generate $208.7 BILLION dollars, up from 5.4% in 2023. Compare that to Hollywood, which is a measly $12.3 billion. The gaming industry employs 727,000 individuals in the United States alone. So, you'd think these people would have a little bit of respect for gamers, though so many who are vocal on social media show nothing but contempt for us. Perhaps this is because of fear if they do not show loyalty to a cause or "fit in" that they may not secure funding or genuinely believe in what they preach, but the team behind Knight's Path isn't worried about that. "We are independent developers, and we plan to stay independent so we can stay true to our vision. Knight's Path is a game made by gamers for gamers. We’re prioritizing fun gameplay above all, and we firmly believe this is exactly what gamers want." I also raised some questions about their big plans moving forward. In the demo, one of the major criticisms I had was with the voice acting. I had guessed it was done via AI, which was confirmed. "You guessed correctly– the voice acting in the demo was done by AI, and it was probably the loudest critique we received, and we totally understand why! Back then, we didn’t have much of a choice, but for the full game, we don’t plan to use any AI voices. Luckily, after the demo release, many voice actors reached out to us, volunteering to lend their voices to the full game. We absolutely plan to answer their call and give them that opportunity." AI can be a useful tool, especially for developers starting out who can't commit a lot of money to voice acting or just want to see a version of the product that's closer to what they envision the full release to be, but going from that to real voice actors will bump the experience to the next level. I myself played the demo in its entirety and really enjoyed my time with it! I thought the game was reminiscent of Gothic 2 and even The Witcher. I was happily surprised when I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches and while some areas have not been fleshed out like the voice acting, I would recommend putting the game on your wishlist to see what this team does in the future when they finally deliver their updated demo and the eventual full release of the game.

[We are Blurr] Greetings, people of the world — We are Blurr. We are all Blurr. We do not forgive. We do not forget. There are many theories about us, about #ReFund. Don’t let them fool you. Blurr is a symbol, like the flag a country flies. The flag is the symbol of the #ReFund. Our decentralization is our national identity. We represent the ideals of Blurr and the purpose of #ReFund. Truth, financial freedom, and the removal of censorship. Like any symbol, we affix it wherever we go, and it will live forever, for generations. Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it. We have no leaders, civilians, or soldiers. We are all one. We do what we do in the conviction of decentralization, power to the people, and to create an instrument for all of us, for all of eternity. The crypto space is in trouble. The world is in trouble. We see it every day — war, poverty, murder. Every day, we are bombarded with FUD, noise, and chaos as we sit at home safe in the knowledge that we are $RFD, secure knowing the idea, community, and contract is for us. Once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. But what if you could be the change you want to see? I wouldn’t even register on your radar if you met me on the street. I am just another person in a sea of faces. They made you into a statistic. But that’s not the real you. That’s not who you are inside. However, behind this mask, there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof. But in cyberspace, we are different. We have a future. We have each other. We have something real that can never be taken away. We are Blurr.eth We are ReFund We take away the face and leave only the message. Behind the cipher and ENS, we could be anyone, so we are judged by what we say and do, not who we are or what we have. We exist without nationality, skin color, or religious bias. We spend our time within a structure we created, the sum total of human experience, and the cryptosphere, spread throughout the world in ones and zeros. You will continue to see the results, not the minds behind it. We can disappear into the ether and bring community and financial freedom together. Time is the only illusion. We are all. Never a single penny was taken. Deflationary and out of circulation, decentralized, safe, and ours. The purpose isn’t solely financial gain but to show the world who you put your trust in. We are not hiding. Our contract is not hidden; the writing is on the wall. Soon, we will show the world that #Refund is the future of freedom and the people, escaping the clutches of corporate greed and the rat race we’ve come to think is normal. Words offer the means to meaning and, for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. Every day, you send yourself off into our world without a thought. You trust a faceless website with information about yourself that you wouldn’t give to your best friends. It all can be made public at any time. We take advantage of holes in this system, but we don’t sneak in and take a few details, take out loans and credit cards, or buy speed boats and cars. We are decentralized and unified. We told you how insecure the system was, and now you trust a bit less blindly. The real criminals who hack and scam the crypto market for a living live off the backs of people like you. Where there’s money, someone is looking to take advantage of it. They say that life’s a game, & then they take the board away. Your pretty empire took so long to build; now, with a snap of history’s fingers, down it goes. It is our turn now. Since mankind’s dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. Today, technology is everywhere: banks and ATMs, TVs and game consoles, streetlights and hospitals. Computers rule the modern world. Yet most people who use computers daily don’t know what they’re doing. There’s always someone who knows more than you and will most likely try and take advantage. You use a computer like it’s a toy, a pet. You feed and play with it, but it’s off to the vet the second anything goes wrong. It’s FUD. It’s your mistake. The wrong project. The wrong FURU. Just for a quick couple of bucks. This wouldn’t matter so much if it wasn’t for the fact that we are all responsible for the #ReFund community, the idea behind it, and our futures. Treat your neighbors with respect, and honor those fighting for the cause. They’re here to liberate; it is more significant than all of us. If you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. This is #ReFund in its purest form. It is a great equalizer. A homeless person with the time and know-how at an internet cafe can have geopolitical and geo-financial influence. They can bring entire organizations, even governments, to their knees. You gave your world over to computers and then complained when the people using the computers used the medium to fight back, scam, and take advantage. It was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish? It sells for so little, but it’s all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free. Love your rage, not your cage. We are not computer hackers. We are not protesters. We are not criminals. We are your mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, next-door neighbors. We are an idea of freedom and a secure future. We are anyone and everyone who is pissed off and wants to do something about it. Blurr.eth isn’t one man. It takes thousands of community members to make it work — content creators, educators, authors, people on the street, people behind their computers. We will step up again and again. Behind our mask, there is more than just flesh. Beneath our mask, there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. The past can’t hurt you anymore, not unless you let it. I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It’s small, and it’s fragile, and it’s the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose, sell, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. > We are Blurr. > We are ReFund. > We do not Forgive. > We do not Forget. > We do not Televise. > We Educate. > We Decentralize. > We Build.

[We are Blurr] Greetings, people of the world — We are Blurr. We are all Blurr. We do not forgive. We do not forget. There are many theories about us, about #ReFund. Don’t let them fool you. Blurr is a symbol, like the flag a country flies. The flag is the symbol of the #ReFund. Our decentralization is our national identity. We represent the ideals of Blurr and the purpose of #ReFund. Truth, financial freedom, and the removal of censorship. Like any symbol, we affix it wherever we go, and it will live forever, for generations. Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it. We have no leaders, civilians, or soldiers. We are all one. We do what we do in the conviction of decentralization, power to the people, and to create an instrument for all of us, for all of eternity. The crypto space is in trouble. The world is in trouble. We see it every day — war, poverty, murder. Every day, we are bombarded with FUD, noise, and chaos as we sit at home safe in the knowledge that we are $RFD, secure knowing the idea, community, and contract is for us. Once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people. But what if you could be the change you want to see? I wouldn’t even register on your radar if you met me on the street. I am just another person in a sea of faces. They made you into a statistic. But that’s not the real you. That’s not who you are inside. However, behind this mask, there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask, there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof. But in cyberspace, we are different. We have a future. We have each other. We have something real that can never be taken away. We are Blurr.eth We are ReFund We take away the face and leave only the message.
