What a Petri dish this place is. Today in Farcaster, I saw someone claiming to be from Afghanistan get triggered apparently by seeing a woman’s bare skin for the first time and then tried to slut-shame her. Moments later, I saw a video of a Mormon lady declared herself a princess… because she doesn’t make decisions on her own, her husband does but somehow interprets that as royal status. As Mark Twain put it: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” Shame more people don’t give it a try.

Happy Water Wednesday! This is the Catskills part of the biggest body of water that supplies drinking water to New York City: The Catskill/Delaware watershed, which includes the Catskill and Delaware Aqueducts and their associated reservoirs. This system provides approximately 90% of the city's drinking water. The Pepacton Reservoir within this system is the largest individual reservoir, holding over 140 billion gallons.

I’ve been saying for a while now: luxury fashion is in a tailspin. The gilded eras of the ’80s & ‘90s aren’t coming back. The damage done by platforms like Shein & Temu to middle & lower income consumers is likely irreversible. They’ve fueled a culture of overconsumption, with consumers who are now infatuated with cheap, fast fashion, ultimately contributing to mountains of discarded clothing. Fast fashion is simply unsustainable. What began as an innovative retail model by Zara & H&M to keep their retail store offering looking fresh has spiraled into a frenzy, with online companies like SHEIN pumping out thousands of new styles daily, and Temu selling apparel and footwear that are practically disposable.

I’ve just walked out of Wells Fargo, beyond frustrated. trying to close my late father’s account, and it’s been an absolute nightmare. The process is so convoluted that even their on bank staff & customer service give conflicting instructions. I get that banks don’t want to make it easy to close accounts but seriously, when the account belongs to someone who has passed away, and one has a death certificate ready, you’d expect at least a little compassion and clarity. But no. The system is archaic! archaic AF! ps> everyone should have a beneficiary on their bank account. If not, the beneficiary then needs to go to surrogate court to get documents to bring to the bank.

Onboarding someone into crypto isn’t easy, it’s actually quite complex. But here’s the ironic part: once you finally grasp how crypto works, you realize just how outdated & inefficient the traditional banking system really is. The contrast is like handwriting a letter, walking to post office to buy a stamp, putting it in a mailbox, & waiting days for it to be delivered; versus typing an email & having it arrive instantly. This is why I’m bullish on Farcaster! Via @clanker, @magentadao.eth launched $MAGENTA token to help onboard our growing Latin American community /magenta into crypto with a low barrier to entry. The @farcaster native wallet has been a game changer, allowing people to get started without the need to navigate complex digital wallets.

Great mid year mountain retreat is over. An 18 hole course, an executive 9 hole course, ski slope, equestrian center, spa, fitness center, several pools outdoors & indoors, tons of activities over 5000 acres in the PA mountains. 2 hours away from NYC & Philadelphia for complete piece. Did I mentioned it’s pretty refreshing being at 1900 ft above sea levels?
