โ€žBy every account, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA) does a wonderful job of adding to the deficit. Per the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate,

the Senate bill adds $3.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years on a current law basis, assuming provisions expire as scheduled. Including interest, the price tag rises to $4 trillion.โ€

โ€œYou laugh at a meme. But the meme is laughing back.โ€ Image
๐Ÿงต 1/
You think memes are harmless?

A random eye in a triangle.
A checkerboard floor.
A goat emoji in a cathedral.
๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s not what you see.
Itโ€™s why they want you to keep scrolling.
2/
Meme is the modern sigil.
A digital glyph.
A spell, disguised as irony.
A virus, wearing the skin of humor.

It doesnโ€™t need your belief.
It only needs your attention.

Parsha Chukat
numbers 19:1โ€“22:1

This is a sad Parsha in many ways. In this Torah portion, God instructs Moses and Aaron regarding the red heifer. Miriam, who is the sister of Moses and Aaron, dies.
1) Image
Moses hits a rock to bring forth water rather than speaking to it. At the end of the parsha, Aaron dies.

Of course, there is more to it.

After years of wandering through the desert, the people arrive in the wilderness of Zin.
2)
Miriam dies, and the people thirst for water. Gโ€‘d tells Moses to speak to a rock and command it to give water. Moses gets angry at the complaining people and strikes the stone. Water flows, but Moses is told by Gโ€‘d that neither he nor Aaron will enter the Promised Land.

BTC is up once again.

And once again I am searching for yields.

(and recommending you bookmark this for reference)

๐ŸšจBEST BITCOIN YIELDS ISSUE #7๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡Image
1) Let's start on @solana

Weird place to start, I agree, but hear me out:

@RateX_Dex has fragBTC fixed APR at 5.5%

@ExponentFinance has it at 4.45%

As far as I know, those are the highest fixed rate APRs on BTC anywhere.

I really hope these become composable.Image
Image
2) @MidasRWA MBTC on @eulerfinance

mBTC gets a yield around 3% natively.

You can then loop it up on the @apostroxyz market on Euler 6.7x for a total of 10% net APR. Image

Have you ever heard about the Scariest devi of Hinduism?

Her act symbolizes self-sacrifice, the transcendence of ego, and the power of love and compassion.

Let's explore more in this thread ๐Ÿงต

This two-minute thread will give you goosebumps.. Image
Chhinnamasta devi is the sixth and self-decapitated devi in Mahavidya. The meaning of her name is "she whose head is severed". Shiva as Kabandha or Chhinnamasthaka (headless) is her consort.
As one of the Dasa Mahavidyas, she holds a unique place, balancing terrifying (ugra) and benevolent (saumya) aspects of the Divine Mother. In a world driven by materialism and ego, Devi Chhinnamastika reminds us of the need for selflessness, the power of detachment.

1. Part of being natural is being wild, or exhibiting a level of wildness, therefore everything that is natural is inherently wild, or has an inherent level of wildness. It is an organism's level of wildness and ability to adapt that allows it to survive.

#Writing #Thoughts๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ
2. Inherent wildness becomes fully cultivated and realized through the creation of durable interactions between an organism and its natural environment (or the environment it has become naturalized in).
3. When wildness can't be cultivated and realized, or it is greatly diminished, both the organism and its environment (the environment it inhabits) will suffer losses from the lack of durable interactions between them, until one or both of them adapts or perishes.

@rc_c17 @AmyxForCongress @RepJasmine The thing I see around my area is that there are people who don't qualify for disability because at some point someone made a rule that you can't get disability unless you apply within 2 years after you become disabled from your job. The people I know didn't want to be on ...
@rc_c17 @AmyxForCongress @RepJasmine ...disability at first, because they thought they might get better, & had issues in which they could work, but not consistently enough to be hired by anyone. While I agree people who are able, & just want to sponge from the system, the system is broken because there are people...
@rc_c17 @AmyxForCongress @RepJasmine ...who don't qualify for Medicaid, but they are extremely close to qualifying. There are certain conditions that need to be reevaluated for disability, & the rule of 2 years needs to be reevaluated too.

Goodbye to gold in the US - Germany, France, and the Netherlands pressure the United States to recover their gold reserves amid growing financial tensions share.google/PXYV6Pgkm38wl2โ€ฆ
The first frontal assault on the primacy of the US dollar has begun. Not with bombs or sanctions. With a simple question: Whereโ€™s our gold?

(1/13)
Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands are all demanding to repatriate gold reserves currently stored at the New York Fed. We're talking hundreds of billions in bullion. Quietly, but clearly, they are backing away from American custodianship.
