Summary:

One second, peace. The next? He heard the creek of metal and his breath was kicked out of him. He was stunned for a moment, only coming back to his senses when Steve ran into the room. “Oh my god are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt?” Eddie looked at him from an angle. “I, uh, I think my bed broke.” Or Eddie is trying really hard to be normal.

Thanks for the rec!

are poeple still saying that russian bots were on tumblr.com swaying the US election in2016. Was that not disproven years ago

[thingsisayinmyhead]

When the senate refused to confirm Obama’s Supreme Court pick in2016, I realized how much of our civil society in the US just runs on the assumption that people will follow the rules.

Like, getting political for a moment. A thing a lot of people need to understand is that, ultimately, rules only exist if they are enforceable. The mechanism of enforcement is what determines the realness of a rule.

If you're playing Monopoly and you decide that being in Jail sucks so you move your piece to Go and call it a tunneling loophole, there's nothing built into the game to actually stop you from doing that. Other players yelling at you and banishing you from the table is how the rule is enforced. But if they don't, if they let you do that, then I'm sorry but that's just how the game is played now. If you're allowed to do it then it's not against the rules.

We all instinctively understand that when you're running track, you're not supposed to cross the lines into someone else's lane. But the lines are not a wall. They're not physically preventing you from doing anything. If you decide you want to run into the lane to your right and jump-kick the other racer, you physically can do that.

The line on the ground is a social construct. It's part of the magic circle; A thing that takes on special meaning, even psychological power, so long as we exist within its play space. But it's not real, and it only has power if somebody comes over and drags you off the field for striking that other racer.

At the highest echelons of power, a lot of what "can" and "can't" be done are actually just the boundaries of a magic circle with few real enforcement mechanisms. The President can't do that. But. Like. Who's going to stop him if he does?

The biggest thing we learned during the Trump Presidency was just how many restrictions on government power are illusory. Trump spent his four years in office testing the limits of what he can and can't do. Stepping over the lines of the magic circle to see which ones had enforcement mechanisms and which were merely decorative. And revealing that an alarming number were decorative.

Because the thing about the highest offices, about POTUS and SCOTUS and Congress, is that they're the highest offices. There's nobody above them. The only check on their power is each other and, contrary to what high school social studies might tell you, those checks aren't very strong at all.

Trump wants to redefine the game rules to be dictatorial. The magic circle says he can't do that. But the only factor that truly decides whether he can or can't is whether the other players at the table will let him do it. And if you listen to the way Republican Congressmen talk, it's not reassuring.

There are no executive super-cops who will arrest Trump if he breaks the rules. The Avengers are not going to show up and stop him from continuing to reconfigure the magic circle to his liking. The only thing, the only true restriction on his power, is the vote. It's the fact that we, as a population, get to make a choice as to whether or not he even gets to sit back down at the table to play again at all.

In a democracy, voters are the enforcement mechanism. Let's try and remember that when November comes around.

“In2016, Starr County, Texas voted for Hillary Clinton with a percentage of 79% to Donald Trump’s 19%. In2024, with 99% of the votes counted, Trump won Starr County in with about 57.7% of the vote. The county is 97% Hispanic and in southern Texas on the border with Mexico.”

How does this happen?!?

Because when Hispanic people get across the border they don’t want anyone else coming over

Key Takeaways The DOJ revealed today that it took 50,67617 BTC from a Silk Road exploiter in November 2021. The haul is among the biggest in DOJ history. The U.S. federal government is presently among the biggest Bitcoin whales, and owns over 214,046 BTC at minimum. Over the last couple of years, the United States federal government has actually turned into one of the biggest Bitcoin whales just by taking unlawfully gotten funds. Ultimately, it will most likely look for to liquidate these funds through personal auctions. Over 50,000 BTC Seized The United States federal government owns a massive quantity of Bitcoin. Today, the Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed that it took a little over 50,67617 BTC (worth approximately $1 billion at today's costs) in November 2021 from a Bitcoin trader called James Zhong. Zhong acquired the amount by defrauding darknet market Silk Road by making use of the platform's withdrawal system in September 2012; he pleaded guilty to one count of wire scams recently, on November 4,2022 The DOJ advertised the confiscation as a $3.36 billion haul, which, while right at the time of the enforcement action, stops working to consider that Bitcoin is now down69% from its all-time high. The seizure is noteworthy-- it's the 3rd biggest in cryptocurrency history by Crypto Briefing's count-- particularly thinking about the quantity of Bitcoin the U.S. federal government currently has under its control. Over $4.43 Billion in Bitcoin In addition to the 50,676 BTC took from Zhong, the U.S. federal government has actually currently obtained at the minimum 163,370 BTC over the last 2 years, for a grand overall of 214,046 BTC, or about $4.43 billion, minimum. In November 2020, the DOJ caught69,370 BTC (worth over $1.4 billion today) from another Silk Road user, advertised as "Individual X" by the department. At the time, this was the network's fourth-largest Bitcoin address; the seizure formally made the U.S. federal government among the greatest Bitcoin whales worldwide. The company likewise took over 94,000 BTC from Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan and Ilya Lichtenstein, declaring the couple was conspiring to wash earnings from the crypto exchange Bitfinex's notorious hack in2016 The amount, worth $3.6 billion at the time, is now worth over $1.9 billion. Owning 214,046 BTC makes the U.S. federal government a greatly big Bitcoin whale. According to BitInfoCharts, just one BTC wallet-- identified as Binance's freezer wallet-- includes a bigger amount, 252,597 BTC, and these funds most definitely come from Binance consumers, not the exchange itself. Searching for the biggest BTC wallets does not provide the complete image, nevertheless, as whales are most likely to divide their holdings in between numerous wallets. Satoshi Nakamoto, the confidential developer of Bitcoin, owns more than 1.1 million BTC, however the quantity is divided in between 22,000 various wallets. Is the U.S. federal government the most significant Bitcoin whale besides Satoshi? It's tough to state, however it definitely holds more than Bitcoin's greatest public supporter, Michael Saylor. Through his software application business, Microstrategy, Saylor had the ability to build up over 130,000 BTC throughout the previous 2 years. Concern for Bitcoin Holders? Typically, the U.S. federal government liquidates its Bitcoin holdings through the U.S. Marshalls Service through public auctions. Endeavor Capitalist Tim Draper notoriously purchased 30,000 BTC from the federal government in 2014 for about $185 million-- or around $616 per coin. More than likely, the BTC taken by the DOJ will be likewise provided to the general public. In current years, the DOJ has actually attempted to time its auctions according to market revolutions to offer its holdings for the greatest cost possible. In November 2021, it auctioned off $56 million worth of cryptocurrencies took from a BitConnect promoter, effectively liquidating the holdings at the height of the booming market.

Whether the firm will have the perseverance to wait on Bitcoin to increase once again prior to offering its holdings is yet to be seen. Far, it has actually limited itself from liquidating the profits from the Individual X and Razzlekhan confiscations.
