Becoming a blockchain baddie today
Both the trees in prospect park and I have been resting our roots. Lately I’ve been feeling a bit directionless and unsure of how I can contribute to this community/how it contributes to me, and my role in the web 3 community.

Glad the most consequential legal action today in the global fight against plastics is finally happening in CA’s lawsuit against Exxon
“Exxon Mobil knew that 95% of the plastic in the blue bin was going to be incinerated, go into the environment or go into a landfill...They knew and they lied.”
Truly the perfect of corporate emotional manipulation. The scam of recycling allows the oil industry to relieve us from guilt of consumption and to absolve ourselves from the burden/responsibility of the environmental and humanitarian crisis that is the plastic industry

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Palestine:
"It's not like Arthur Sulzberger is rubbing his hands together" and dictating pro-Israeli coverage, Coates continued, noting that the Times had recently published a mammoth investigation into how Jewish extremists had taken over the Israeli state. It's that in the total coverage, in all of the talk of experts and the sound bites of politicians and the dispatches of credentialed reporters, a sense of ambiguity is allowed to prevail. "The fact of the matter is," he said, "that kid up at Columbia, whatever dumb shit they're saying, whatever slogan I would not say that they would use, they are more morally correct than some motherfuckers that have won Pulitzer Prizes and National Magazine Awards and are the most decorated and powerful journalists."

Third places are public goods :) let’s fund them!
The drive to build new cities—like Próspera, backed by Marc Andreessen, or the private city in Solano County, CA—is nothing new, and echoes past projects like Chandigarh and Brasília. These cities promise a “fresh start” but usually recreate the same problems they hope to escape.
A key truth is ignored: no city can operate without the working class. These cities, designed for the richest classes, deliberately lack infrastructure for the working class—the people who actually keep them running. They privatize and further hoard essential resources. It’s deeply hypocritical for those most responsible for environmental crisis to build private enclaves, leaving everyone else (the poor/non-white people) to struggle with the consequences.
Supporting these projects is essentially endorsing a system where the wealthy buy their way out of the crises they helped create, leaving the rest to bear the burden.
