I feel like scooting around right now. But I fear the sound of the police won’t be KRS One if I take that jetski

I wish Wayne would have put out "I Am Not a Human Being III" as full album. That's the only single from it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqyv-B6mnBM

So you have a cool newsfeed. Have you ever considered making at available first class on Coinbase Wallet and Farcaster? Coinbase & Farcaster have mini apps so we could send the news to subscribers via push notification, let them share in feed for more organic distribution for you and have new entrants subscribe with their wallets they have in app already. Means reaching 100k+ wallets that can one click subscribe and get notifications you can track openrates on vs having to rely on email no one opens. Sounds interesting? We've built this before. DMs are open

Today marks 2 years on Farcaster for me. @dwr.eth sent me an invite link to my mail after I saw a tweet from him 2 years ago today. Dang. So much happened in 2 years, but it's also just 2 years. Did a highlight reel of 2 years on Farcaster over on the bird app to let everyone know how cool Farcaster is! https://x.com/samuellhuber/status/1944086102346018962

Combined Farcaster queries from @pixel @yesyes @emptyblock into an overall dashboard that holds the data I look at consistently to get a feel about Farcaster's state of the union in terms of raw data https://dune.com/dtech/dtechvision-farcaster-pulse

What's a good @dune.eth datapoint to filter for only "quality" FIDs? I see @dharmi openrank dune.openrank.dataset_k3l_cast_globaltrust whats a good filter ? score below 0.3? @rish is neynar score or spam labels on Dune data? I know you return it via the APIs. MY goal is to have the ability in dashboards to toggle between raw protocol data and also non spam protocol data only cc @yesyes in case you tried building a dashboard like this before
