You will consider this a threat. You should. You're killing us right now. There's nothing just about it. It's just power, ego & greed. You should suffer the same callous fate that you are exacting upon us. F*ck you! Let that sink in, f*ck you. We're moving towards your outlook, just towards you.
As this shut down continues, more Luigis. You could not have a bigger example of the rich leveraging their power to show that they don't give a f*ck if you die. Why should they be immune? Be a god d*amn human or f*cking die already. It never should have come to this. But, this is your greed.

Wake up call. "Illegal immigrants" aren't taking your jobs. Trump doesn't produce anything in the USA because it's cheaper to get bullied labor from other authoritarian regimes. Stop buying their con that immigrants are your problems for work. It's the fascists that screwed you, not immigrants.

The bitcoin community is fighting over an upcoming software change that one developer has warned will be the end of bitcoin. He has reportedly discussed creating a trusted group of censors with the authority to alter data recorded on chain.
![Bitcoiners have been embroiled in a battle surrounding an impending update to Bitcoin Core, the reference implementation for bitcoin nodes, which will increase the amount of data that can be included in bitcoin transactions beyond simple payment information. Supporters argue this provides a better method for storing arbitrary data on the bitcoin chain than existing approaches like the controversial Ordinals [I46] or Runes [I56] projects, while reducing the resource burden on node operators. Opponents contend that bitcoin developers should discourage such activity, and have raised concerns about network spam and potential legal liability for node operators, since each bitcoin node must download all transaction data. Some worry that bad actors could upload illicit data, like copyrighted content or child sexual abuse material, to the chain, creating legal problems for anyone running a node. Supporters have pushed back on these concerns, noting that node operators can “prune” (discard) the added data after validation, and that illicit content already exists on the bitcoin chain but hasn’t resulted in legal issues.39](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreidin34z4wacssxcltg2n3ugd4u42udsv6xcon23ffv5p4qouv4iya@jpeg)
![Opponents have framed the update in dire terms. Bitcoin developer Luke Dashjr — a longtime critic of bitcoin “spam” [I20, 46] and maintainer of the alternative Knots node software — has claimed that bitcoin “will cease to exist when Core30 changes it into a CSAM file sharing platform” and that “Bitcoin doesn’t survive if v30 gets widespread adoption.”4041 Dashjr has reportedly discussed creating a trusted group of censors with the authority to alter illicit data recorded on chain —a controversial proposal in an ecosystem that prides itself on being trustless, uncensorable, and immutable. “Right now the only options would be Bitcoin dies or we have to trust someone,” Dashjr wrote in leaked messages published by The Rage.42](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreierhkot4yegdz3u73kdyaj34le5gqv6w6dkv3x6kybeswetkftb3e@jpeg)

I can't stop thinking about "Frank M".
The taco truck gave me his order instead of mine. I ate his birria. Did he eat my chicken? Did he complain? Did he make them cook him a new meal? Did it ruin his night?
I kept hearing sirens all night long... wondering if they were coming for me.
