“While the Freudian setup is indeed a mechanism for the exchange of speech, no one before Lacan had concluded that psychoanalysis needed to interrogate speech itself—its function and the field it presupposes, namely language. It was likely taken for granted. There is reason to suppose, moreover,

“L'étourdit" evokes that which compensates for the non-inscription of the relation; a necessary compensation if there are to be, and we observe that there are, effective bonds between beings and bodies. Lacan writes that this compensation, I quote, “is no more than the fantasy that sustains our

Many seem to believe that ‘the unconscious is structured like a language’ is Lacan’s insight. In fact, the thesis is entirely Freudian. Freud’s first 3 major works are dedicated to this idea. Interpretation of Dreams, Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, The Psychopathology of Everyday Life.

OCC Grants World Liberty Financial Preliminary Conditional Approval to Establish National Trust Bank for USD1 Stablecoin Operations

Share

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Liberty Financial today announced that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted preliminary conditional approval to organize World Liberty Trust Company, National Association (WLTC), a de novo national trust bank purpose-built for stablecoin operations. WLTC would be organized by its sponsor, WLTC Holdings LLC.

Upon opening, WLTC will operate as a national trust bank under federal supervision, engaging in the issuance and redemption of USD1, management of the reserve backing USD1, and digital asset custody services for institutional customers. USD1, the dollar-backed stablecoin, has reached over $4 billion in circulation.

“USD1 grew because institutions trust how it operates, and confidence at enterprise scale deserves the backing of federal supervision,” said Zach Witkoff, President and Chairman of World Liberty Trust Company. “What makes a stablecoin trustworthy is the strength of the reserve behind it, and who stands accountable for it. A national trust bank brings USD1 issuance, custody, and reserve management together under OCC supervision, examined on the same standards that have governed banks for generations. We welcome continuous scrutiny from Federal regulators for many years to come.”

The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.

Given that we had just fought a civil war with people who in active rebellion against the Union and thus rejected allegiance to it, I’d say that would be obvious to anyone why it wasn’t a provision on granting citizenship, including to Alito and the clowns who wrote that fan fiction of a theory.

One of the things the US was apparently trying to hide by asking commercial satellite companies to withhold imagery is that Whiskey Pete retreated from Bahrain. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

A U.S. official said that damage at the Naval Support Activity is “extensive” and that the headquarters there relocated to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, the home of U.S. Central Command. It is unlikely that troops, contractors or civilian employees will return to the base “anytime soon,” the official said.

Two other officials said U.S. forces may never return to regional bases in large numbers, though no final decision has been made.

I went peepee in the potty today. Aced it. There was a sink and a tub and a trash can but I didn’t peepee in any of those. I used the potty. The part where you should lift the seat cover first is very easy. They say “which part do you pee in?” And I say “the water part.”
