The closest intersection to my house is a place where people like to frequently do donuts (practicing for sideshows). I just realized this means that I am probably inhaling an above average amount of microplastics from the vaporized tires. ☹️ But I still love living in Oakland.

Does anyone else treat Apple News links like they are malware or is that just me?

Yes, yes, the real cause of the climate crisis is a wicked tangle of multi-polar traps and systemic incentive problems. But did you know that we now have batteries made of paper that are fully compostable? https://www.rdworldonline.com/flint-secures-2m-seed-funding-to-advance-sustainable-paper-battery-technology/

This is siiiick… new drilling technique which vaporizes rock (!) could enable us to drill 12 miles down, enabling geothermal energy to work almost anywhere in the world! https://www.quaise.energy/news/major-demo-keeps-quaise-energy-on-track-to-power-the-world-with-clean-renewable-geothermal-energy

Ten years after I started working on it I’m going to see “Co-Founders” tomorrow with 120 friends. So excited. Getting promoted by the SF mayor and the Chronicle…

Crypto has to succeed at having AI agents using crypto wallets rather than TradFi rails. But here’s Visa partnering with the AI labs, no mention of crypto. Can the devs do something. https://apnews.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-5dfa1da145689e7951a181e2253ab349

This hip hop musical about startups (which I co-founded) premieres in one month for a 6 week run at the Strand Theater in SF. We just dropped a mixtape (search Spotify etc for "CoFounders the Musical") featuring E-40, Stunnaman02, Tajai, Lateef... also this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RuteFzbTUc

Today I learned that OpenAI spends tens of millions of dollars just from people saying “thank you” to their AI. And the energy use! To save Earth we must commit to being rude to AI. 🙃

Just created my first ever GitHub repo, deployed my first code… well, I’m pair programming with Claude but still. Cooking up something tasty.

This is the most Oakland thing of the year. Definitely going to have to watch this ASAP. Has anyone seen it yet? https://www.kqed.org/arts/13973907/freaky-tales-true-stories-pedro-pascal-too-short-924-gilman-oakland

Once upon a time it seemed like nuclear waste was a bigger threat than climate change, so it made sense for environmentalists to be anti-nuclear. But now that climate change is 1,000,000x bigger of a threat, being anti-nuclear is hopelessly quaint. Now I’m only anti-nuclear while in character at 1980s themed costume parties. https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x78911a7b

I came up with a new term for user-generated data: "The Means of Deduction". What do you think, Marxists? Do you love this framing or am I about to get roasted? https://warpcast.com/hijackcapitalism/0xdf63907e
