Of course if the US used Ranked Choice Voting we could all relax and vote how we pleased with full confidence that democracy would endure and our point-of-view would actually matter.

I'm trying to imagine a worse way for this state to make the news, but coming up short.
Anyhow, it's been 0 days since since #Oklahoma made the national headlines.

🧵 Meanwhile, in Oklahoma…
Gazette publisher Bruce Willingham left a voice activated recorder in the McCurtain County official’s (including the Sheriff) meeting because he suspected they were illegally doing county business after the public meeting ended. What he uncovered was a murder plot & a racist discussion of hanging Black people.
Gov Stitt may have called on county officials to resign but instead, the Sheriff is calling for an investigation into the authenticity of the tape.
You can’t make this shit up.

Time to revisit this fantastic speech by @aantonop. I had goose bumps in 2017, I had goose bumps right now.
Andreas' work made me understand Bitcoin and find the courage to do the work I do.
After 6 months in #Zimbabwe I can only say: watch this!

Ranked choice voting simply means the most appealing candidate wins the election (rather than the loudest from either side of a duopoly.) That's the whole point of democracy.
Imagine being this giddy about undermining the democratic process.

Ranked-Choice Voting will never be part of South Dakota elections.
I signed a bill to ban this process, and I signed 11 other bills to make our election laws the strongest in the nation.

Hard to imagine @greenpeaceusa encouraging payment in petrodollars, but these are the times we live in. #CleanUpThePetrodollar

When you don’t want to realize that the real danger for the climate is the endless growth which economies based on credit money need to survive. Fiat money is the problem.
Btw this smear campaign based on false facts by @greenpeaceusa is funded 5 mio USD from Ripple’s cofounder.

But this, meanwhile, is totally unacceptable of course.

Our friends @GridlessCompute doing some incredibly cool work monetizing micro-hydro plants in Kenya.
They build these small hydro plants @ ~100KW which is much much more than the village needs.

At our #ESG ClimateTech fund, as part of our due diligence on #bitcoinmining, we examined the 7 Most #ESG arguments against #Bitcoin.
We expected to find a mixture of some true, some false, some grey
We were surprised to find all 7 were false. No grey areas
Here's the list

I've been using a ~10% annualized rate for the time value of money when tracking my personal finances for the past year and a half. I arrived at that rate estimate by looking at my personal expenditures. Thought maybe it was just me. 😳
CPI 7.5% 🚨🚨 damn that's high!
and consumer price index has long become a heavily politically massaged inflation metric, real inflation has to be way over 10%/pa.

Looked at how much of my budget goes to housing, and the price of houses/local rents from a year earlier. Same with autos, food. It has all been noticeable, much of it from my own personal finances (though I didn't go purchase a new house.)

I'm a little disappointed that BOLT2's option_support_large_channel isn't a backronym for WUMBO.

We made a very short documentary about the Lightning Development Kit, our big project these last couple of years. We wanted a puppet to perform @jack’s parts but settled for actual @jack: youtube.com/watch?v=oOT78Bgy…
