@alpine your banner photo is INCREDIBLE

@molly0xfff good luck. While our elections are far from perfect in the UK, having very tight limits of candidate and party spending really helps. Vast amounts of money just corrupt politics so much.

@molly0xfff "once again, with feeling" before an amazingly cringey attempt to lean on someone? gotta be some pettifogger with a `.eth` suffix

@paprikapink wow that sounds like quite the watch... i haven’t seen it, no

@MxVerda “pro se”. lawyers love their latin, it means representing oneself instead of being represented by a lawyer.

@keremgo hi! :blobfoxheartcute:

i’ve just noticed that at some point the absolute legends that hold the Fairshake.com domain updated their website. they’re the first google result for “fairshake”, above the website for the crypto-focused super PAC#fairshake #crypto #cryptocurrency

@rmi as far as you know... perhaps i’m a raccoon in a very convincing disguise.

@molly0xfff who did the artwork? I really like it, and reminds me a lot of Stuart Immonen’s style.

@feoh no problem at all, i’ve just updated it on my end. thanks so much for your support!

@ramsey i’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear it is pro se

@latte highly recommend, it’s so much fun!

@ThaMunsta the original $25M contribution was made in bitcoin, but the FEC is clear that contributions encompass “anything of value”. the most recent one hasn’t been reported yet so TBD there.i would like to see Coinbase arguing that BTC has no value to try to get around the restriction though, lol

@molly0xfff they have held my money hostage for over half a year, i wouldnt take what they say seriously

@molly0xfff This sounds a bit like what the gun lobby did to change the laws.

Also really underscores the sentencing benefit from cooperation. Ryan Salame, who pleaded guilty but did not cooperate, received 7 1/2 years for a campaign finance charge and a money transmitting charge.

@phrwn lol this wasn’t ai, this was just me making a joke

@molly0xfff 'Sure, under Trump, the pandemic was mishandled, he said maybe disabled ppl should just die, trans ppl's passports were invalidated, muslims were targeted, he caused an insurrection b/c he's a sore loser, gave tax cuts to the wealthy against the national debt, gutted regulations that benefited humans over corporations, helped wall street get at retirement savings, tried to repeal the ACA with a plan he still has not released... but I don't get what you like about Harris.'

@joshmorgan it’s a narrative the industry has been heavily pushing, including by funding their own slanted polls. disappointing to see her buy it, though.

i will say it is brave of her to “come out” as a progressive in the crypto world, which is heavily pro-trump and prone to attacking anyone who isn’t. i’m sure that wasn’t an easy decision given her business.
