I'm kickstarting the #audiobook for my next novel, an anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams called *Red Team Blues*. #Amazon's #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free, but crowdfunding makes them possible:

The Golden Rule (them what has the gold makes the rules): Dobbs, SVB, the Internet Archive, antitrust and the law's foundation in norms, not consistency.

Unicorn Riot uncovered a huge FBI "Assessment" file looking at Pilsen Community Books, abortion rights activists, #CopCity opponents and more.
↘️Full story:
unicornriot.ninja/2023/fbi-books…
The owner-workers of Pilsen Community Books acknowledge that their store is “very cute.” A repurposed mid-century card catalog cabinet holds a collection of vintage mass market paperbacks.
Tarot decks with wood-cut illustrations & a tote bag featuring an anti-police slogan greet socially conscious shoppers.
But don’t be deceived.
At least according to the FBI, there’s more to this bookstore than good vibes and book release events with the latest left-wing author.

Giving workers modest sums to prevent them from starving during the lockdowns enraged #inflation hawks, who insist that improvements to workers' material lives will transform America into an amateur Weimar revival, with wheelbarrows of useless bank-notes. 1/

#Illinois Senate Bill SB1887 would drive out #blockchain #node operators, #miners, and #validators, waste judicial resources, and confuse existing law in a quixotic attempt to protect Illinois consumers. Let's examine the mess in a #thread:
as a preface, This is a stunning reverse course for a state that was previously pro -innovation. Instead we now get possibly the most unworkable state law related to #crypto and #blockchain I’ve ever seen. A shocking turn of events for the #tech community in #illinois /2
SB1887 focuses on consumer protection (this is GOOD). But, the manner in which it seeks to protect consumers is to require #node operators ##miners & #validators to do impossible things, or things that create for themselves new criminal & civil liability at pain of fines/ fees /3
#Agenda2030 permitirá a gobiernos apoderarse de la tierra contaminada y trasladar a los residentes a ciudades inteligentes. Si la tierra + agua a su alrededor está completamente envenenada, no puede optar por no participar en el modelo de "ciudad inteligente".Empiezan a entender?

Estas "manos orando" fueron dibujadas con tinta negra y blaco de plomo, sobre papel azul. Las podéis ver en el Museo "Graphische Sammlung Albertina", #Viena (#Austria).
Y es que las manos son como la cara: el espejo del alma. Retratar las manos es retratar la persona.

1 in 4 flippers sold their homes for LESS $$$ than expected in our 4Q22 survey. Elevated rates and falling home prices are scaring buyers wary of buying on the way down, but investors are clearly looking to acquire now and refinance later. 🧵Flipper comments to follow ->
#Austin flipper: “Austin has an overinflated housing market that is compounded by elevated interest rates. This has resulted in a downward spiral in qualified buyers. The fix and flip market is pretty much gone. Prices in most areas are down about -30% or more in recent months.”
#Baltimore flipper: “We’re looking forward to a big 2023. I hate to say it, but a lot of it’s going to be on the backs of consumers with hardships, or circumstances where they have no other options. But that’s our bread and butter.”
