I was 'permanently' suspended for around six hours this morning.

(Permanence is a non-existent concept so we can't fault Twitter for failing at it.)

If you want to know why, it was because I made a joke, which the alleged victim, @pauly0x, even liked: fredrickbrennan.medium.com/twitter-suspen

Obviously Pauly didn't report me.

I have no clue who did but I think it's BAYC related.

Regardless—heed my d/n—I have no illusions about the impermanence of this account, and will be making more of an effort to migrate to mastodon.online/web/@copypaste as Twitter is beyond broken.

Why I am looking forward to the next few months of #NFT space:

1. Greater conversations will begin to happen about conceptual art

I found it and, to be honest, it’s not so secret nor is it great.

A deep dive into the tumblr account Ryder warned us about last July.

A threadđŸ§”

⚠ WARNING - sensitive content ahead
Before I begin, I’d like to preface by saying I do not condone hateful behavior. If u choose to read ahead, please send none his way. That is not my intent, I am sharing this to spread awareness & shine light on someone who some look up to as a “leader”.
“Why involve urself then?” you might ask. Well, I normally wouldn’t. However, after watching him harass and borderline stalk people I look up to while attempting to bring down a community full of people I love for months, it’s hard to stay silent.

As a journalist who has covered this space since before Bored Ape Yacht Club existed, I have a few thoughts on #BURNBAYC. At best, it's ignorant, bad clickbait “journalism.” At worst, it's total bad faith grift for YouTube numbers. Here's why đŸ§” (1/22)
(Upfront disclosure of relevant assets: I don’t own any BAYC or MAYC. I do, however, own two Othersides.) (2/22)
The premise of @thirdeyeoftruth video is that the BAYC project is full of racist/anti-Semitic dog-whistles. His first example is the usage of “apes” in the first place. But this falls apart if you know anything about the crypto space pre-@BoredApeYC. (3/22)
