A good advert for why Nostr is preferable to X/Twitter.
Many solid replies, though the opinions range they are well articulated. A similar post on Twitter would be met with a MAGA pile on - "Why don't you send your kids to the front lines", "Zelenskyy is the worst, Putin wants peace"...
It is just a puke of bots, AI accounts, trolls and idiots. X/Twitter replies have lost all meaning, it is just 8Chan on crack, weaponised ideological idiots and propaganda.
Nostr for the win!

For those not on Twitter anymore, a little update on Real Bedford.
Today was the most nuts game, we were losing 5-3 and had a player sent off. This is normally certain defeat, yet some how we managed to pull two goals back and get a draw.
Meanwhile, our rivals for the league were winning 1-0 and conceded a goal at the death. From looking like they would gain three points on us, we remained on level points. So we are four points clear.
If we win the league again, we will be only the third side in the history of English football to win three leagues in a row, nobody has done four.
Tomorrow our women play Norwich. The women are also top of the league, if they win it that will be back to back promotions.
Football is nuts, it throws the most crazy scenarios at you…but here in Bedford something special is happening.
Thank you to all who have supported this journey. This crazy idea of a Bitcoin football club is working.
Peace and love 🧡

Great December for Mr Obnoxious.
After the initial drop, on YouTube the show is 39% ahead of the WBD average for the last 12 months. The only month which beat it in total was the Whitney Webb month, a show which is now at 1.7m downloads.
Also, average downloads per show, Audio + YouTube is ahead of the average for the last 50 shows of WBD.
It’s been a hard graft and a transition full of anxiety, so I appreciate all the sponsors and listeners who have stuck with the new show.
WBD is in good hands with Danny and he’s crushing too.

Thanks for the feedback but I don’t really expect to keep many of the old listeners.
It took 860 episodes to refine the Bitcoin one, now it’s a new show doing a new thing. Hosting is hard, it takes time. The old show was criticised endlessly but still became the biggest show on Bitcoin. Endlessly people would tell me do this, so that, I hate your opinions on this yadda yadda. I still just did my thing.
There are many people who liked my political opinions and monologues. Thinking a show is perfect for you is a mistake, different people take different things from it, some like the guests, some like the questions, some like the references to my businesses etc etc…
This is now a hobby, I’m cool with however it plays out, even if it doesn’t work. I did 7 years of flying and being away from my family, now I want a different life.

No specific time. This is after 100's of interviews with libertarians, conservatives, progressives and trying to consider how you make things better.
I think Libertarians are morally right but their ideas don't seem to gain traction enough to make a difference. Mike Brock pointed me in the direction of Otto von Bismarck - “Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable — the art of the next best.” which was the basis of the argument I wanted to put together.
