"Oligarchy also produces a sequence of progressively weirder and more terrible rulers who rely on a mix of lies, flattery, coercion and personal cult nonsense to hold their coalition together in the face of mounting evidence for the system's bankruptcy. Thus Reagan begat GW Bush, who begat Trump, whose potential successors are a kennel of the least-charismatic chud podcasters ever to curse an RSS feed."

Who’s not picking you in their dreams?
Who’s not acknowledging every echo from your voice?
River streams to the ear
You have to be whispering somewhere close
It’s underneath my own skin
These words that I’m just saying
You have to be more than just my inspiration
But no matter what anyone else is saying
I spill portions of my heart’s potion
Thinking of you
Prioritize your tasks effectively. Recognize that simultaneous resolution of all issues is unrealistic. Maintain a balanced approach by focusing on a single task at a time and attending to your personal well-being. Progress methodically, addressing one task and then the next.
The gig economy is broken. WURK is fixing it onchain. Hard not to be bullish on that mission 🟢
What's different about decentralized communication?
Privacy needs more than encryption.
Encryption protects message content. Around it, there’s still the account, identity, files, recovery process, and platform rules.
Decentralized communication reduces the need for one provider to control that environment.
StrTalk is being built around encrypted communication and STR.Domain identity.
Try StrTalk - private communication built closer to owned digital identity.

A savings account pays whatever the bank decides. A DeFi protocol pays what the market decides — sometimes more, sometimes riskier, but always visible on-chain. No branch, no gatekeeper, no waiting three days for a transfer to clear. But there’s also no one to call if you make a mistake. Freedom cuts both ways. 🏦⚡
Today I have reached 200,000 followers on LinkedIn. My deepest and most sincere thanks to all my colleagues and followers for all the great conversations, sharing of personal insights, and the deep collaboration over the years!
I look forward with hope (and an enormous cup of coffee) that our cybersecurity community will continue to pursue optimal risk management, keep pace with our adversaries, and thrive in the continual challenges that come with protecting our digital world.

What about a writing contest from Bulb to follow up?

Highly recommended. In 6 months when you wish you had joined earlier, don't blame me I tried to tell you.
Good afternoon my friends,
The past few days have been very difficult and emotionally draining for me. My beloved uncle had been suffering from hepatitis. A few days ago, his condition suddenly worsened, and he was admitted to the hospital. Sadly, despite everyone's efforts, he could not survive and passed away.
Because of this, I was away from here and from my other social activities over the last two days. His funeral prayer has been offered, and he has now been laid to rest.
What is going on with BULB! It is now filled with dark-market type offers, selling personal data and stolen accounts, that support scams, phishing, and spam. This must stop. Will BULB become a dark market that supports illegal activities? It will drive real users away real users and destroy any potential future for a legitimate social site.
For those of you who have been questioning the power and impact of Mythos, claiming the initial restricted use (Project Glasswing) was just a marketing ploy, I urge you to reconsider and listen to cybersecurity experts.
The Mythos Effect is real. It is a signal of change across the industry, forced by the order-of-magnitude performance in finding and exploiting vulnerabilities by a new generation of AI models (soon from several vendors).
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all. Be who you are and don't allow anyone to affect the confidence you have in your individuality. Be who you are.
"Every platform deploying an AI assistant in account recovery, credential management, or any privileged data flow is now operating against a publicly documented attack template."

After watching this you should have even more respect for the tax reforms the Albanese Labor Party govt in Australia have done. It's incredibly sensible for the medium to long term. However it's short term, politically, incredibly dangerous at the ballot box. And that's why it's so brave.

Why should you use Wurk? Because you can earn from your stake with activity.
The rewards are higher because airdrop farmers and token grinders hate having to invest. If you're prepared to stake $WURK then you get your activity rewarded.
This is a huge unlock if you're creating jobs on Wurk as it will offset your campaign budget and thus extend it.

Loving this drop fromn@Socially Artful on DRiP

Crypto really is more than just money when art like this exists on-chain.
Wurker: Ali
One of my favorite discoveries on DRiP is this piece by Glish. The contrast between the finished artwork and the unfinished sketch immediately caught my eye, making the creative process feel like part of the story.
The bold colors and symbolism keep revealing new details the longer you look, reminding us that every artwork has a story behind its creation.

AI is rapidly changing the cadence and challenges of cybersecurity, specifically when it comes to addressing vulnerabilities and preventing exploitations, and most organizations are not prepared for the emerging operational and strategic impact.

Great add by Wurk. Jobs ran like a lot like contests already but there was no way to rank the quality of submissions aside from scores (community and ratings) and tips. This update gives you the ability to explicitly reward on the ranking. Means you can run contests as contests and run your other jobs as pure jobs. I'll be adjusting my job creating strategy accordingly.

This piece explores the tension between the precision of a dip pen and the organic flow of ink wash painting. The rocks and pines are taking shape through hatching and cross-hatching. Soon, I’ll be adding transparent watercolor layers to soften the edges and create atmospheric perspective.
Stay tuned for the final result! 🎨
Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Toncoin (TON) is the blockchain for 900M+ Telegram users—wallets, payments, and mini-apps live right inside chat. No need for a separate app. Transactions are quick and cheap but are closely tied to the success of a single platform. Convenience or centralization risk? 💎
Experimenting with custom-mixed ink for line work. 🖋️ Moving away from pure black to achieve a more nuanced, atmospheric tone in this landscape piece. The line-art stage is currently in progress, setting the foundation for subsequent watercolor layers.

There are definitely to many people using bulb that don't understand the first thing about cryptocurrency.
There is no logic that while the markets are all up, that Bulb token should be down by 30%.
Have some conviction in what you are earning. Hold for long term. Stop selling so much!
This token has real potential but not if everyone constantly sells when they have a couple dollars.

You need to take everything a16z says with a HUGE grain of salt these days due to the validation and support they're giving to some of the worst crypto scams in history which are being enabled by the Trump administration. That said, they are reliably pretty deep thinkers in crypto and (IMO) they've been mostly right about most trends. Always worth reading even if you can't trust anything to do with regulation or specific companies/protocols.
