A friend of mine was asking me what an NFT is, and whether they are something he should look in to. Thought I’d share my perspectives on this topic.

A thread: Let’s start with a grid for our explanation. There are physical and digital assets, that can be fungible or non-fungible. (We’ll do definitions next.) Image

Americans, you’re being lied to.

A thread. They say we want to disband police departments (and that we hate the police): we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out racism and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable.

My daughter started 9th grade yesterday. Her first class of the day was Computer Science. A class of 19 boys and her.

The teacher thought she was lost, and asked which room she was looking for.

And we wonder why this industry has a diversity problem. The teacher introduced the class to Scratch, something she has used at home since 3rd grade.

(They’ll be learning Python in 2nd quarter.)
