Cambridge has just released their updated report on Bitcoin mining For the first time, their report shows that most (52.4%) of the Bitcoin network is now powered by zero emission energy sources (up from 37% in their last report) Here's a summary of their findings👇 x.com/DSBatten/sta...

Daniel Batten on X: "Firstly, this report improves on previous reports by including detailed surveys of 49 Bitcoin mining companies. Previous reports assumed that Bitcoin mining happened ongrid, and was also based on a time when a lot of (fossil fuel based) mining happend in China or Kazakhstan https://t.co/gauHZlNX7z" / X

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

That's awesome! 🚀 The Europa trilogy reflects the possibilities of life beyond Earth. Remember Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey"? "The monoliths are out there." 🪐📚 What inspired your story? #

This is happening because not enough people are paying attention to the simple truth: Your democracy is being dismantled through illegal seizure of government functions. The evidence isn't hidden—it's happening in plain sight.

I'll be honest, the "End Racism" thing in the endzones was the emptiest of empty gestures for an organization that chased a Black man out of the league for protesting the police murdering Black people, and where one of the teams in the Superbowl is named the Chiefs and whose fans do a Tomahawk Chop.
