During the 2008 recession, my aunt lost her job. Her, her partner, and my three cousins moved across the country to stay with us while they got back on their feet. My house turned from a family of four to a family of nine overnight, complete with three dogs and five cats between us.

It took a few years for them to get a place of their own, but after a few rentals and apartments, they now own a split level ranch in a town nearby. I’ve lost track of how many coworkers and friends have stayed with them when they were in a tight spot. A mother and son getting out of an abusive relationship, a divorcee trying to stay local for his kids while they work out a custody agreement, you name it. My aunt and uncle knew first hand what that kindness meant, and always find space for someone who needed it, the way my parents had for them.

That same aunt and uncle visited me in [redacted] city last year. They are prolific drinkers, so we spent most of the day bar hopping. As we wandered the city, any time we passed a homeless person, my uncle would pull out a fresh cigarette and ask them if they had a light. Regardless of if they had a lighter on hand or not, he offered them a few bucks in exchange, which he explained to me after was because he felt it would be easier for them to accept in exchange for a service, no matter how small.

I work for a company that produces a lot of fabric waste. Every few weeks, I bring two big black trash bags full of discarded material over to a woman who works down the hall. She distributes them to local churches, quilting clubs, and teachers who can use them for crafts. She’s currently in the process of working with our building to set up a recycling program for the smaller pieces of fabric that are harder to find use for.

One of my best friends gives monthly donations to four or five local organizations. She’s fortunate enough to have a tech job that gives her a good salary, and she knows that a recurring donation is more valuable to a non-profit because they can rely on that money month after month, and can plan ways to stretch that dollar for maximum impact. One of those organizations is a native plant trust, and once she’s out of her apartment complex and in a home with a yard, she has plans to convert it into a haven of local flora.

My partner works for a company that is working to help regulate crypto and hold the current bad actors in the space accountable for their actions. We unfortunately live in a time where technology develops far too fast for bureaucracy to keep up with, but just because people use a technology for ill gain doesn’t mean the technology itself is bad. The blockchain is something that she finds fascinating and powerful, and she is using her degree and her expertise to turn it into a tool for good.

I knew someone who always had a bag of treats in their purse, on the odd chance they came across a stray cat or dog, they had something to offer them.

I follow artists who post about every local election they know of, because they know their platform gives them more reach than the average person, and that they can leverage that platform to encourage people to vote in elections that get less attention, but in many ways have more impact on the direction our country is going to go.

All of this to say, there’s more than one way to do good in the world. Social media leads us to believe that the loudest, the most vocal, the most prolific poster is the most virtuous, but they are only a piece of the puzzle. (And if virtue for virtues sake is your end goal, you’ve already lost, but that’s a different post). Community is built of people leveraging their privileges to help those without them. We need people doing all of those things and more, because no individual can or should do all of it. You would be stretched too thin, your efforts valiant, but less effective in your ambition.

None of this is to encourage inaction. Identify your unique strengths, skills, and privileges, and put them to use. Determine what causes are important to you, and commit to doing what you can to help them. Collective action is how change is made, but don’t forget that we need diversity in actions taken.

The number of commercial-scale Bitcoin mining operations in the U.S. has increased sharply over the last few years; there are now at least 137. Similar medical complaints have been registered near facilities in Arkansas and North Dakota. And the Bitcoin mining industry is urgently trying to push bills through state legislatures, including in Indiana and Missouri, which would exempt Bitcoin mines from local zoning or noise ordinances. In May, Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt signed a “Bitcoin Rights” bill to protect miners and prevent any future attempts to ban the industry. Much of the American Bitcoin mining industry can now be found in Texas, home to giant power plants, lax regulation, and crypto-friendly politicians. In October 2021, Governor Greg Abbott hosted the lobbying group Texas Blockchain Council at the governor’s mansion. The group insisted that their industry would help the state’s overtaxed energy grid; that during energy crises, miners would be one of the few energy customers able to shut off upon request, provided that they were paid in exchange. After meeting with the lobbyists, Abbott tweeted that Texas would soon be the “#1 [state] for blockchain & cryptocurrency.” Technically there is federal mandate to regulate noise, which stems from the 1972 Noise Control Act—but it was essentially de-funded during the Reagan administration. This leaves noise regulation up to states, cities, and counties. New York City, for instance, has a noise code which officially caps restaurant music and air conditioning at 42 decibels (as measured within a nearby residence). Texas’s 85 decibels, in contrast, is by far the loudest state limit in the nation, says Les Blomberg, the executive director of the nonprofit Noise Pollution Clearinghouse. “It is a level that protects noise polluters, not the noise polluted,” he says. The residents of Granbury feel they’ve been lied to. In 2023, the site’s previous operators, US Bitcoin Corp, constructed a wall around the mine almost 2,000 feet long and claimed that they had “solved the concern.” But Shirley says that the complaints from the community about the sound actually increased when the wall was nearing completion last fall. Since Marathon bought the facility outright in December, its hash rate, or computational power expended, has doubled. Any statewide legislation is sure to hit significant headwinds, because the very idea of regulation runs contrary to many Texans’ political beliefs. “As constitutional conservatives, they have taken our core values and used that against us,” says Demetra Conrad, a city council member in the nearby town of Glen Rose. In the week before this article’s publication, two more Granbury residents suffered from acute health crises. The first was Tom Weeks. “This whole thing is an eye opener for me into profit over people,” Weeks says in a phone call from the ICU. The second person affected was the five-year-old Indigo Rosenkranz. Her mother, Sarah, was terrified and now feels she has no choice but to get a second mortgage to move away from the mine. “A second one would really be a lot,” she says. “God will provide, though. He always sees us through.”

shocking! texans suffer from deregulation and ineffective walls

ꜰᴀᴍɪʟʏ ʀᴇᴜɴɪᴏɴ ᴄᴀꜱ ᴄʜᴀʟʟᴇɴɢᴇ

(thanks @faerie-tempest)

Okay I went a bit wild and did the whole challenge for Devon's family. This was really fun and I highly encourage doing this one!

(See below the cut for who's-who!)

Devon Grace (the influencer + cousin who's getting married) - The reality star, social media influencer and adult entertainer we all know and love! She's also getting married to her new boo, unbeknownst to him.

Stavros Pantazis (the new bae) - Literally new new, they met less than a sim-week ago and are now expecting a little terror of their own. No one will bother remembering his name and Grandma keeps calling him "Vlad".

Briar Rose Grace (the quiet judgmental youngin') - Devon's daughter. What can i say, she's a saucy little shit lol.

Brianna Grace (the competitive sibling) - Devon's younger sister and a bit of a brat in her own right.

Mary-Jacqueline Grace (the instigator) - Devon and Brianna's mother. She's a chainsmoking, hard-drinking hot mess of a broad. She's been known to get into fist-fights with grown men (and win, of course).

Catherine Grace-De la Roca (the cool aunt) - Mary-Jacqueline's twin sister and the only reason Devon and Brianna turned out half-sensible. Art teacher and travel enthusiast.

Rodrigo De la Roca (the world's most interesting uncle) - Catherine's husband and walking encyclopedia of weird and random knowledge. Has some kind of bizarre story for every occasion. Don't ask him to tell the thumb story.

Gabi De la Roca (the holier-than-thou student) - Teenage terror with brains to burn. She's banking on a full scholarship to Britechester to get away from her unhinged family.

Enid Grace (the family recipe gatekeeper) - The matriarch of the Grace family. Rules the kitchen with an iron fist. Whatever you do, don't ask for her rhubarb pie recipe.

Tony Grace (the overly-supportive grandparent) - Enid's husband and family patriarch. Wanna join the circus? Drop out of college? Kill someone? Grandpa's got your back (and probably the shovel).

Ronnie Grace (the bitcoin uncle) - Tech nerd and the lamest guy you will ever meet. Somehow his family hasn't left him for his constant rants about blockchains. May or may not have lost half his savings from investing in Llamacoin. Mary-Jacqueline and Catherine's younger brother.

Keisha Grace (the nosy relative) - Somehow still married to Ronnie (but doesn't know about the Llamacoin yet). Actually loves family gatherings because she gets all the dirt to gossip about with her friends later.

Niko Grace (the peacemaker) - Ronnie's son from his first marriage, at 31 he's still "finding himself" (ie: unemployed musician living in his parents' basement). You can probably find him outside of a family gathering trying to push weed on his younger cousins.

Grayson Grace (the golden child) - It's really not hard to be the golden boy when your older brother sells weed to children.

Tabitha Loveless (the passive-aggressive auntie) - A widower, Tony's older sister and Devon's great-aunt. Tabitha may or may not have flown to the gathering on her broom.

Karen Loveless (the live-laugh-love mom) - Tabitha's daughter. Cheerful to a fault, but please don't ruffle her couch cushions or you will face the wrath of God. Has been in a 17-year old standoff with Aunt Enid over that goddamn pie recipe.

Eddie and Jason Loveless (the d.i.n.k.w.a.d's) - Karen's son and son-in-law. They just got back from a cruise and can't wait to tell you all about it. They're really living their double-income-no-kids-with-a-dog life to the fullest. They considered leaving because their precious pooch, Tangerine, was not given her own place setting.

Kurt Loveless and Monica Song (the anxious new parents) - Eddie's twin brother and his fiancée. Just welcomed a bouncing baby boy, Chevron Fritz Loveless. Baby Chevron is so special that he spends 18.5 of 24 hours a day screaming his sweet little head off. If it weren't for his mother Karen, Eddie is convinced he would kill his twin brother and take over his life. Monica showed up to the reunion with baby shit on her shirt and is unfazed.

Kelly Loveless-Strong (the wino soccer mom) - Tabitha's other daughter and Karen's younger sister. She's convinced her precious boy is going to make it to the World Cup (that is if he can get tf off of Twitch). Fun fact: there's definitely wine in that coffee cup. Is 100% likely to get into a table-dancing contest with cousin Mary-Jaqueline later.

Colby Strong (the 'other' influencer) - The family still doesn't undertand how Colby got famous for playing videogames but they are all so proud anyhow, even if he is pissing away his opportunity at being a world-class athlete. Most definitely out back smoking weed with cousin Niko.

I did it again

Welcome from FICSIT Inc. to our brand new engineer

We're thrilled you picked us, we're here to bring you a brilliant new career

Yes, it's true that the terms of your servitude are a little bit unclear

But don't fear the years you'll be spending here, you're a lifelong pioneer!

You're entering planetfall to a planet full of resources

Your contract calls that your life revolves around rounding up and exporting

And if you happen upon our previous ones, well, it's your job to report it

Take inventory of the spent debris, but best to leave any corpses

No time for grief, so take relief in this briefing

These core values, FICSIT needs you believing

You'd better learn them if you want to be leaving

But if you miss it, then we'll keep on repeating

Construct!

Rebrand that land before you as a grandiose factory floor

Automate!

Command it to handle it, so you're free to construct more

Explore!

You'll fall to a world of wonders that none have seen before

Exploit!

Convert that fertile earth to a furnace for churning ore

Flora and fauna, forced to the boundaries

Par for the course when your sport's tearing down trees

Pounding them down into powder to power these

Towers you've founded to round our accounts

Seize bountiful mountains of countless amounts

Each ground into compounds bound for the foundries

Sound of it drowns out the howls of the foul beasts

Ousted and out for revenge, so look out

Deep down underground, a fortune awaits

We've just got to burn down what's in the way

How fortunate that you have opted to stay

With your life on the bottom line for our pay

So slave away and save the day

In place of wage, you'll pave the way

Stay in the black with shades of grey

Keep sending stacks, you'll get back someday

We enterprise and synergise

You improvise and synthesise

To bring supplies and tint the skies

With inky spires as chimneys rise

The market cannot be denied

We couldn't stop it if we tried

That natural snapshot that you prize

Is simply profit in disguise

Drop a thousand rods in the pod

Ship them off, don't stop and move on to the Modular Frames

The Rotors and Cables

The table says we are waiting on lots of Crates

And if we haven't got enough on your plate

Well, we haven't got enough of the plates!

And the state of the Caterium isn't great

So fill the elevator by end of the day

Mother Nature is minted, it's evident

If we're her kids, then what is the precedent?

Where there's a will, there's a way to inheritance

Whether we killed her or not is irrelevant

No defense for delay, it's expensive

So pay up, foreclosure's a moment away

Financially, we're fine actually

So contractually say it again!

(i couldn't be bothered to color this next section in)

Construct!

An industrial wonderland with a hundred belts to ride on

Automate!

Set beams to plunder and then find somewhere else to siphon

Explore!

There's a whole ton of funds to be funnelled under that horizon

Exploit!

So tear it asunder with thunderous, sulfurous pyres and pylons

This is a FICSIT reminder!

It's a lizard-doggo-eat-lizard-doggo world out there

But that doesn't mean it won't also try and eat you

So be careful

Those uniforms aren't cheap

You've been hurled without leave to build worlds without leaves

Scorch the earth, burn the trees, crush the birds, squash the bees

Yes, the customer may moan, kicking creatures from their home

But they'll scream and rant and rave if they don't get their mobile phone

You may think that it's a lot, slaying nature so our stocks gain

You may rethink extinction when your neck is on the Blockchain

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small

Will be scanned and logged and processed for the shareholder's bankroll

It's a little bit of sweat, a little bit of toil

And a big blind eye to the wildlife spoiled

If they go the way of the dinosaur

What you crying for? We're just making oil!

So the seas may boil and the skies might burn

But we'll reap the spoils of the prize you've earned

No quarrel, it's morally grey, just quarry away

Morals make for downturn

Mother nature ought to be

Hung, drawn and quarterly

Diced up and torn to pieces, export and reset

Our big spreadsheet says more for me

Unlike a life, a price is dependable

Cutting expenses to keep you expendable

Spreading our message, we made you a prophet

So make us a profit, we'll grant you ascension

All manner of valuables need our attention

The fact that there's animals ain't worth a mention

If there's a creator, I guess in a sense then

That we are a case of divine intervention

Beyond the heavens, there is revenue to glean

So turn that greens to black and we can turn it back to green

Tax law is more lax for planets unseen

And in space, no one can hear the machines

Right, I want ten thousand steel beams at my desk by four

No, not literally, where would I put them?

[mostlysignssomeportents]

Cardi B's X Account Promotes WAP Token, PeckShield Raises Alarm

Cardi B’s X account promoted the WAP memecoin, raising concerns about a possible hack.

Blockchain firm PeckShield warned users to avoid engaging with links shared in the post.

Despite concerns, the WAP token’s promo stayed on Cardi B’s account for over five hours.

The official X account of the American rapper, Cardi B, supported the memecoin called WAP, which stirred up controversy concerning the token's authenticity. The recent post has raised questions about whether the rapper’s account was hacked or the promotion is real. Blockchain security firm PeckShield quickly alerted the crypto community, warning that the rapper’s account might have been compromised.

Platform Raises Alarm

In an X post on Tuesday, PeckShield noted that Cardi B's X account was compromised and warned users against engaging with any links or addresses shared in the post. The WAP token, likely named after Cardi B's hit song, launched on Monday with its own website and X handle. A video was also posted, seemingly showing the rapper endorsing the token.

The promotion came soon after the Australian rapper Iggy Azalea launched her token MOTHER and openly accused WAP of being a scam. Although such posts are usually quickly deleted from the celebrities’ accounts, the WAP token promotion stayed on Cardi B’s page for over five hours, which caused more concerns.

Celebrity Token Doubts

Dexscreener indicates that the WAP token currently has a market capitalization of $21.6 million. Although celebrities endorsed memecoins in 2024, several of these projects have yet to demonstrate significant progress. This raises doubts regarding the motives and sustainability of such coins in the crypto market.

Similarly, memecoin promoter Sahil Arora was barred from X in June following allegations by Caitlyn Jenner of pump and dump schemes of her meme token. These controversies have thus contributed to creating more skepticism about celebrity-backed cryptocurrencies.

Fans and the crypto community should use the token cautiously as more information unfolds. Cardi B’s X account continues to be checked as people wait to know whether the posts were a hack or a form of advertisement. However, doubts about the token remain valid to this day.

Why Memecoins Keep Thriving Despite Their Minimal Value

In the world of crypto, memecoins stand out as a fascinating and often confusing phenomenon. Despite their minimal basic value and the skepticism they face, these digital tokens continue to emerge and capture the attention of investors. To understand why memecoins persist and thrive, we need to explore several key factors that contribute to their success.

Community and Celebrity Support 

Another significant factor is the role of community support. Memecoins like SHIB and PEPE have shown how a dedicated community can drive a token’s success. The enthusiasm and backing from these communities can elevate a memecoin’s value, sometimes overshadowing its lack of practical use. However, this also means that investing in memecoins involves high risk, as not all tokens will gain similar support or achieve notable success.

The rise of celebrity-endorsed memecoins is another trend worth noting. These tokens often benefit from the star power of celebrities, which can generate initial hype and attract investors. Not only professional crypto investors can influence the community’s interest in memecoins; a celebrity from outside the crypto sphere or a typical social event can also significantly boost the attention these tokens receive. 

A prime example of this is Elon Musk’s involvement with Dogecoin. In 2021, Musk’s tweets about Dogecoin had a remarkable impact, turning the crypto into one of the most talked-about digital currencies on the market. Originally developed as a joke, Dogecoin saw a surge in popularity due to its meme-inspired branding and the rally fueled by Musk’s social media influence. 

This demonstrates how external figures and events can create substantial waves in the memecoin space, far beyond the actions of dedicated crypto traders. While this can lead to short-term gains, it also makes them vulnerable to scams and speculative bubbles. Investors should approach celebrity-backed memecoins with caution and consider more established tokens to reduce risk.

The Speculative Nature and Ease of Creation

New tokens are frequently introduced, each promising unique opportunities. This environment can attract investors seeking high-risk, high-reward prospects. The rapid creation of memecoins reflects a market driven by excitement and anticipation, where the potential for significant gains can overshadow underlying fundamentals.

The ease of creating memecoins also contributes to their proliferation. Unlike more complex blockchain projects that require extensive resources, memecoins can be launched with relatively little effort. This simplicity, combined with the allure of quick financial gains, encourages a steady flow of new tokens into the market. The promise of rapid wealth accumulation appeals to those eager to test their luck in the crypto space.

The Power of Hype and Airdrops

Hype plays a crucial role in the success of memecoins. Tokens like WIF, MOTHER, and DADDY, along with newer entries like BUSAI on the Solana blockchain, demonstrate how public enthusiasm can drive a coin’s value. 

BUSAI, in particular, stands out as an example of how memecoins can combine innovative concepts like AI integration with meme culture to capture investor interest. The excitement and speculative nature surrounding these tokens can lead to dramatic price movements, making them an attractive and a good investment opportunity. Success with memecoins largely depends on navigating this hype and identifying promising projects amidst the noise.

Many memecoins offer free tokens, called airdrops, to attract new investors. People are often interested in these events, so this can encourage them to join the memecoin community. Even if a token lacks substantial value, the initial free distribution can generate significant interest and investment. This strategy leverages human psychology, where the promise of free money serves as a powerful motivator.

While memecoins often start as jokes or ironic projects, they can evolve into serious business ventures. Despite their origins, these projects can attract significant investment and create considerable value, highlighting the complex dynamics of the crypto market.

The bitter secret of Blockchain Island

Late on an October afternoon in 2017, journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, decided to drive to her bank in Malta. As her Peugeot neared the crest of a small hill just outside her village, a bomb placed under the seat exploded, killing the married, mother of three, and turning her car into a fireball that rained down on a nearby field.

Her son, Matthew, heard the explosion and was one of the first on the scene. Later, he described finding parts of his mother, and the Peugeot, littering the ground.

Caruana Galizia was Malta’s leading investigative journalist, a well-informed political blogger, and consistent thorn in the side of the country’s most prominent politicians and business leaders.

She frequently accused Government officials of corruption and railed against the economic policies being pushed through parliament. And she was also very much opposed to the country’s proposed cryptocurrency legislation, which was considered by some to be the most forward-looking in the world. To Caruana Galizia, the crypto laws were yet another opportunity for money laundering and even more corruption in a country that has historically been known for such shenanigans.

Welcome to Blockchain Island. Malta isn’t exactly emerging as the civilized, sensible crypto capital of the world its architects had envisioned.

Still, as it were—Malta is desperate to convince the rest of the world that it can be a trusted partner, a stable and legitimate financial hub. Despite the scrutiny unleashed by Caruana Galizia’s murder, the tiny island still has enormous ambitions to become one of the richest countries in Europe.

And it’s pinning those hopes on becoming the financial center of the world, for digital money.
