Lightning Prisms by DerGigi
"Let's get into today's read. And its titled. Lightning prisms. Written by their GT. One aspect that is still massively underutilized is the programmability of Bitcoin. While simple things like scheduled payments and automated payment splits do exist, we are undoubtedly still trapped in conventional thinking when it comes to the flow of sats. I'd like to share a simple idea that was shared with me a couple of months ago in the hopes that it will spread far and wide. And in the best case that someone will just go ahead and implement it, or a better version of it. Here is the idea. All credit to mister Cox, who is now officially out of time to implement it himself. And here he has a graphic of two prisms separating and splitting up payments in a sequence. It starts with blog post at SAP prism dot com, and then the payment splits 51% going to cucks 28% going to dur Gigi in 21% going to activists at HRF dot org or the human rights foundation. But then there is another payment split, another prism off of activists at HRF dot org, where 5% goes to someone at HRF, 5% goes to another one at HRF and 5% or 80% goes to at any one at HRF dot org. Lightning prisms a lightning prism is a construct that allows for lightning address value split workflows to quote the originator. Here's the gist of it. A prism is identified by a lightning address or similar. A prism has one or more multiple recipients. Another prism can be one of the recipients, splits are defined programmatically. This simple construct allows for all kinds of use cases and can be implemented on the application layer without any changes to Bitcoin or lightning.

Purple Text, Orange Highlights by Dergigi
"Let's get into today's read. And its titled. Purple text, orange highlights. Buy dur Gigi. How noster can benefit readers and writers. Not too long ago, I tried to paint a picture of what a vision for a value enabled web could look like. Now only a couple of months later, all this stuff is being built. On noster and on lightning. Orange and purple, a match made in heaven. It goes without saying that I am beyond delighted. What a time to be alive. No stir. Here's the thing that Nostra got right, and it's the same thing that Bitcoin got right. Information is easy to spread and hard to stifle. Information can be copied quickly and perfectly, which is I believe the underlying reason for its desire to be free. Easy to spread hard to stifle. That's the base reality of the nature of information. As always, the smart thing is to work with nature not against it. That's what's beautiful about the orange coin in the purple ostrich. Both managed to work with the peculiarities of information. Not against them. Both realize that information can and should be copied, as it can be perfectly read and easily spread always. Both understand that resistance to censorship comes from writing to many places, making the cost of deletion prohibitive. Information does not just want to be free. It longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is rumors younger, stronger cousin. Information is fleeter of foot has more eyes, knows more and understands less than rumor. Eric Hughes, from a cypherpunks manifesto. No stories quickly establishing itself as a base layer for information exchange. One that is identity native and value enabled.

"Regulators. And with the help of friends in the Senate, the powerful cable and media companies have done just that. It's like, there it is, folks. It's pretty much the most open and shut should have been approved immediately. And instead, there was a lot of conversation about how she hated Republicans and that she was going to take newsmax and what was it one America off the air, even though she wouldn't have had that power. There was a lot of just huge misinformation about her. Ted Cruz popping champagne at her loss, even though all of his constituents are absolutely destroyed by the terrible broadband in this country and all they want is better broadband and he's like, yeah, I fucked your broadband and joy. And his claim is that he's like, because she is previously criticized Fox News. Yeah. That she would do something to free speech. Meanwhile, when she had zero control. And also, I can pay attention to Fox News lately. Yeah. Good entertainment channel. But meanwhile, there's no net neutrality in this country. And so things are starting to happen. They're really weird. Like state senators in Texas proposing bills to force ISPs to block websites of abortion information on them. And to make it so that hosting providers in Texas can not host any website that has abortion information on it. That's straight up fully in the realm of art telecom policy is now allowing infringements on free speech. The basics of net neutrality, even if you go to the big, even if you go to Comcast, I've talked to Comcast about this, right? They're like, yeah, we think no blocking no locking. That's what I always call it, right? No blocking of websites, no locking devices from the network. Everyone agrees on this. If you write a net neutrality Bill and you're like, all right, we're going to start with no blocking and no locking. No one jumps out and says, do this. Like maybe the exceptions are, we'll block devices that are malicious. And everyone's like, yeah, sure that makes sense. But the basics are like, you can't block websites. You can't block content and you can't walk devices. And they've been saying this for over a decade that we've been covering this. And you get rid of it. And just a few years after you get rid of it, you have state senators in Texas saying, actually, we got rid of Dobbs too. Now you should block a website to the abortion information. So if you're a virtuous, I don't care where you are in the footage of spectrum. That is just straight up and attack on the First Amendment. And attack on how we think the Internet should work. Maybe you think people should get abortions. The idea that you can block the information or block hosting providers, and you don't have the websites. Like fully out of bounds. And that's what you get with that, like functional telecom policy. Anyway, it's outrageous. McKenna is going to have more on it. There's a lot to this story. It's a, it's a long, weaving tale. As David said of dark money and corruption, go listen to the decoder episode about it. One thing I'll note, so a little competition, the star of that decoder episode was the CEO of newsmax, which is Chris roddy is not a liberal by anyone's conception. And he was like, I want Gigi sound on the FCC because she is a fighter for competition and what I need to do is compete. That's a big deal. So go listen to that episode decoder in the next week a lot more from a Kennedy. Can I ask a really dumb question before we move on for this subject? What happens now? Does the Biden administration have to nominate somebody else? They nominated two two forever. Like what happens now? They'll nominate somebody else and they probably will not be as good an advocate for consumers. It'll probably be someone much more palatable to the telecoms because that's the only way to pass through. Lawyer from Verizon is a cheap pie coming back to be honest. Why is that going to happen? Someone like that. Someone who's a little more liberal, but it's like a Democrat who works for AT&T. The former general counsel of charter communicate, that's what we've had for years. And that's what we're going to get again. And so I would just not. In these days, he could do it. Confidence in FCC, right? They did all that rural broadband stuff. And they did not do it through the FCC. They did it through other agencies because they just don't trust the SEC to be effective. They should shut it down. Maybe you want to go full libertarian. My three part plan for America is to shut this down because it's a disaster. I'm fine. I'm not going to disagree with you at this moment in time. You got to replace it with something. With some effective oversight of the telecoms. Not of the content, right? I think that we should have government speech regulations. I think everyone knows that. I'm saying literally AT&T Verizon T mobile, all of them are little monopolies. Their markets are not competitive, and they do weird shit and race prices all the time. And that's like, you can't even argue with that. Do we think that ISPs in this country are like great and that people love them? 0% of the people believe that. Long pause. Two members of the SCC do. Yeah. I think it's going great. It's going great. The one ISP people love is Starlink. Although, in a strong credit yesterday, I saw someone. He said, hey, how is it them all the other day? And T mobile home Internet

"Act? All right, speaking of Congress, we'll have more on this very soon. But obviously we pay a lot of attention to the FCC here because theoretically the FCC regulates the nation's telecom providers. No one's doing a good job. Particularly the Biden FCC has been deadlocked at two two for a long time to Republicans to Democrats. They've accomplished nothing. Just flat out nothing. The Trump FCC accomplished a lot most of it was destructive, but they accomplished a lot. They're like, let's get rid of net neutrality. What if the government was run by Verizon? They did it. Fine. Biden actually see Biden campaigns and all this stuff. They've accomplished nothing because they've been deadlocked at two. For 16 months, 5th commissioner has been waiting around. It was Gigi stone. Gigi has been on the verge hash as a character on the verge. She's like this ferocious consumer advocate. She was on the board of public knowledge, the First Amendment organization. She's been sitting there for 16 months, now that she had been nominated twice over. It expired both time. She's gone to committee twice. There's been hearings. We did an entire decoder episode about this bizarre mystery where they can not get her confirmation over the finish line. And the answer is Comcast AT&T Verizon furiously spending money to keep the Biden FCC deadlocked. And in particular, from keeping a true consumer advocate on there. This is the point of the show where we missed actually a disclosures earlier. I should note, Comcast is a minority investor in vox media, our parent company. You might tell from the tone of my voice. That's cool. How do you feel about that? That's fine. There's no love lost there. They're fine. They're all. We also made a Netflix show. It's called the future of. That's great. You should go watch it on your Comcast. The Internet connection. You're overpriced Comcast Internet connection. Disclosures. We have some. Gigi quit this week. She withdrew. She couldn't take it, shouldn't take the attacks. McKenna Kelly is reporting on all this, I'll have a lot more on it, but I just want to point out, this is like a policy disaster. That is squarely Biden's fault. He did not push to have a functional telecom regulator in this country. This is just me doing greatest hits now. Americans pay the highest prices for the slowest speeds in the entire world. If you go to Europe, you can get unlimited data sim card that works anywhere near for like, I don't know, nothing $2 here. It's massive amounts of money. And getting more expensive. We're going to come to DISH Network.

There is a channel that or a playlist that is Bitcoin magazine studios that will have all the episodes as they continue coming out each Wednesday, 12 noon central. And yeah, I mean, we've kind of touched a little bit that it was filmed in May at Oslo freedom forum, put on by the human rights foundation. And if you haven't watched the trailer already, it's pinned up in the nest. A couple minute sneak peek into some of the faces that you're going to be seeing. And yeah, one last thank you to sponsor the Bitcoin magazine studios sponsored by it seems very redundant, but here we go. The Bitcoin conference with a 21% audio only shared discount for tickets. So if you have not bought a ticket, I happen to know this is the best deal and it will get deactivated if people post it and in print sadly. But it is freedom. As you'd think and then a dollar sign money. Freedom, money. So I thank you all for joining. Thanks for all of this. I'll close this out with an Odell quote because he can't be with us in voice. And then Gigi, if you want to leave us with something to ponder, no pressure. You've got two seconds. You can just say ditto. I'm going to give you that. All right, I'll read the quote, and then I'll say the quote, then you can kind of just echo. You can't have freedom without privacy. You can't have wealth without freedom. Awesome. And I'll add to that stay humble sex. That's pretty close out within our code once more. Perfect, perfect. Thanks, Gigi. Love you much. Thanks all for joining. Thank you. Thanks for having me.

"That's a large page into channel opens in general closes. It's where I see Bitcoin headed in the long run. And online thing, it's already way better than it is on chain. And a lot of very capable people are improving lighting privacy all the time. And the beautiful thing about lighting is that, well, you can just go ahead and implement something better. You don't need global consensus for that. Just charge your head just make it better. And it will be better. And so I'm very optimistic in that regard. But of course, we're not there yet. But it's just think back like 6 years, we're already, we made a lot of inroads in the last 5 or 6 years. It's true. We've come a long way. There's a long way left to go. And I think it's good. Every once in a while, I feel like it's climbing a mountain, you just take a break, have a sip of water, then keep going. And I think there is a lot that has been put in place, even in the past year, I've been doing a lot of review or research of what 2022 as a year meant for Bitcoin. And enlightening and mining. And core. As a historian, as we're in the middle of history, what were the things in the time capsule from this year, if we were to dig it up in 20, 30 years, what did 2022 specifically as a year mean for Bitcoin? And there's so much that is happening consistently, which is incredibly exciting. Some of the change feels slow and incremental. But I think we are actually, we're on the road. I feel hopeful. And I love truly and thankful for your partnership and both being in this episode and being here today. But all that you're doing and contributing to the conversation to help, you know, help people really invite their minds to be a part of this, that there's philosophy. There's meaning there's purpose that there's, you don't have to go so deep, you can use it as a tool, but you do provide that richer material. Before you joined, I was talking about 21 lessons and do you want to kind of close us out or coming up on our mark, but close this out, talking about 21 ways and update status, anything on that. I'm very excited personally. Yeah, thanks for all the kind words. So yeah, I always knew that I kind of had to I still had one or two things to write after 21 lessons and 21 lessons I really wrote on the side. I always joke, it's basically a long tweet thread. And some of you guys probably know Bitcoin is time, which is one chapter of the new book. And so I hope to be able to look at Bitcoin in 21 different ways. So this is where the title comes from. And one of them that's already published is the aspect of creating a digital arrow of time in cyberspace that you can trust, which is a very, very hard problem just because of relativistic effects alone. Like if you have a decentralized network, there is no single source of truth that will tell you what events happen in what order, like a before B is as true as B before and so it's a really difficult problem.

"And we think of the Internet as being or I guess you could think of social media as being the media of ideological exchange. And it seems as though we're at this point where we're starting to decentralize that communication structure and I think that's going to be such a powerful tool going forward and I think we're already seeing that where we're seeing this kind of like top down orchestration of information dissemination being upended by this, I guess it's this move from broadcast to narrow cast media as kind of talked about in the sovereign individual, for example. But yeah, I think about that too is like the media is this network through which we can exchange ideologies and the more we can have people organize and really express themselves honestly and true to their values I think that's going to just be such an amazing and beautiful thing to see down the road too. So yeah, I think about that interplay between those two different forms of media. Yeah, for sure. I'm very thankful that we are able to spread truth and talk about freedom and even be able to inspire and encourage. I think that's right now in this specific time in history, I think a lot of the media is helpful to provide hope to inspire hope to encourage to encourage someone, yes, this is a battle. It is an uphill upstream, whatever. It is there's a lot of resistance, but the more that we can kind of see eye to eye with others. And be encouraged that other people are out there fighting the good fight. And I would say, you know, the episodes of freedom money are deeply encouraging and inspiring. And there's a good conversation to continue to be continued. Gigi welcome, I'm so glad you were able, are surprise guest. Hello, hello. Thanks for having me. Pretty good. Pretty good.

"But truly, hey, that's the rubber meeting the road of your daily life is being impacted by this. What are you going to do? And I reached this point, the vaccine mandate in New York City went into effect on August 17th, 2021. And as of August 17th, 2021, and a few places actually implemented it earlier. Some bars and different places. But as of August 17th, you could not go into a museum a gym, a bar, a restaurant, you couldn't go to the opera, the library. You couldn't go anywhere without showing your proof of vaccination. And that is a fundamental freedom and write that if you take that decision making away from someone that fundamentally hampers and impedes their freedom. So that was actually my spearhead to move to Nashville and my plan actually because the legislation in New York didn't go into effect for the film industry for employees. Until December. So I was actually just commuting back and forth from Nashville to New York doing a couple commercials a month. Nothing crazy. And still working in the industry, but I had picked a new place to live that was freer. I wanted to have freedom I didn't want to have to, you know, just stay inside all the time and walk around on the sidewalk hang out in the parks. I don't know, be a an outcast. And I definitely experienced really awkward times with friends out with friends, and I would sit outside. I felt like a dog. I would sit outside the bar, I could not go in. I could not use the bathroom. I could not get a glass of water. My Friends could bring me a drink outside, but I literally felt as if the dog that can't come into the restaurant. And they had come visit me, check on me sometimes, but it really was that wake-up call for me that I hadn't been telling the truth because I'd actually been helping

And so working finally working in an industry where I believe in what we're saying and I think it's really important to continue these conversations and just continue raising awareness, I think, as well. And there's an incremental adjustment. I think, yeah, it's a little bit by little bit, obviously there's just room for small course correction and improvements. Sometimes it will be big, I'm sure, but I will talk a little bit about our first guest, the episode tomorrow is Gigi and if you don't know Gigi is working on a second book, he worked on his first book was 21 lessons and if you haven't read it, you should. It's also, it's very, it's very dense, but it's very digestible. It's just like very rich, really, really philosophical. And now his current second book is 21 ways. Something super amazing about Gigi is his unless there's some disclaimer. Everything that he writes, he publishes under a permission permissive Creative Commons license. So he is welcoming other translations. I think 21 ways has been translated. I think it's over a hundred languages. I honestly, I think it's something crazy high like that. But he is really he both through code and through words. He has really championed the free and open-source software way of wanting to share everything that he is contributing to the world. And welcomes iterations, welcomes translations, welcomes, he says, you know, print your own copy of 21 lessons and sell it at the corner store and encourages that. So there is that real collaborative nature that is really inspiring, truly inspiring. So he's a real, he's a real special guest, and yes, will be pillowcase attired.

"And it's probably, to be honest, a little bit of a tough barrier to entry for a pre corner because spoiler, not spoiler. This is like a sneak peek. Gigi is wearing a pillowcase in this episode because he did not have his green suit. So it's a unique look, but I do think if people don't understand, you know, Gigi has built a lot of his, you know, his messaging has been very consistent and he has talked a lot about privacy and digital footprint and how we can be very conscientious and one of the ways that he protects himself and his own is wearing a green suit when he speaks at conferences. And if people don't understand, you know, I'm thinking about my normie friends that have Facebook and Instagram and don't really understand the amount of power that we give when we are sharing our location, our face, everything about us, kind of freely without being asked. And then we put a Google home or whatever in our actual inner sanctuary in our home, we pay for a device that then has a microphone to listen to us. If people haven't kind of connected any of those dots on privacy, I think watching a guy with sunglasses a hat and a pillowcase over his head might be a little bit of a hard sell. But we do open this series with him because he is really lays the fundamental foundations of freedom and how not how it's right, but how it can be affected when we lose when the government oversteps. And it's a very, it's a good beginning. I will say, maybe not the one you sent to your normie Friends. Maybe you send the next week's episode. We might make a couple different playlists on our YouTube channel. So we'll be scheduling them for premiere noon central time. Wednesdays. And they will go on our Bitcoin magazine YouTube channel.

"That's done a lot of work to kind of bring Bitcoin into that I am sure working with other people too. But bringing Bitcoin into this human rights conversation. And Matt o'dell described it and I mean, it made so much sense to me and I'm quoting him on these numbers. But he's like, yeah, the Oslo freedom forms like 80% human rights activism and maybe 20% financial freedom, financial activism of how that's a part of it. But of that financial activism, about 80% of it of the content of the speakers are talking about Bitcoin. So it's that 80 20, 80 20. So 20% being financial, but 80% of the 20% being really that Bitcoin is freedom tool. And talking to people really from all over the world that are seeing the use case for Bitcoin. And there's an episode that we filmed with Johar. I really try to pronounce. But her name, I can spell it. She and you can watch the different talks that they did at the Oslo freedom as well. They're up on the HR website or YouTube. She has this amazing, I mean, really incredible, powerful moving story, but her dad was a Uyghur rights activist and is in prison for life. And they will never, I mean, unless something happened, we'll never see him again. And when she was talking about China, it really hit me in a new way that freedom of thought is something that I didn't I didn't really think about how Bitcoin does require freedom of thought. You have to at least be able to be alone in a room to at least have some sense of privacy that you can have a wallet with keys that you are the one that knows that you aren't surveilled that everything isn't before it's encrypted. Scanned and uploaded on your phone. And the reality of what happens in China is very sobering. And I would say that interview was, it was really powerful. It was really intense, but it was a really, it's really tough because it was kind of, wow, I just found a place where Bitcoin can't fix that because you can't bring the Bitcoin in to that problem. The surveillance state is to prohibit it. So warning, you know, bring your bring your tissues for that episode. But of these 6 episodes, we have a couple bitcoiners and a couple human rights activists. And we're talking about how they define freedom, what freedom means to them. And then if Bitcoin or how Bitcoin is a tool for freedom, and also what is necessary for freedom and it's been, I would say some of these episodes are going to be really resonating much more with an already Bitcoin audience that probably will agree with most things said. And our first episode, the one coming out tomorrow is with Gigi with their GG.

"For Bitcoin to maybe be useful in a daily way for them in their life. But building legacy for their family and investments to be able to pass on to future generations, maybe they care a little bit. But more than anything, gold makes sense to them. But I love to challenge them. Well, what about the people that gold isn't practical for? And this show, we had the opportunity to sit down. We did 6 different interviews. Who is going to be next week's episode? She is doing incredible work, helping women not only open be able to custody Bitcoin themselves because there's countries in 2023 where it is illegal as a woman to you can not open a bank account without the permission of your family or your parents or your husband. A lot of that also means you can't have a job. You can't earn So Bitcoin is permissionless, one of the really beautiful tools that you don't have to leave your home for. You don't have to get an approval to be able to custody, your own Bitcoin, and also be able to earn Bitcoin and not risk governmental threat. So obviously, there's still privacy issues within that. And I think that's another thing that's very important to be able to teach someone to custody safely. And discreetly. And I really think these stories, these episodes, they really help give a entry point for, okay, yeah. You don't need Bitcoin. You've got gold. You're good. Well, what about the people that can't leave their country with golden diamonds or they're taking teeth out of their mouth to hide diamonds in so that they can have some seed money for their new life. There is a self centric, I think, in America and any kind of first world country that if we have financial stability or perceived financial stability, there is kind of, wow, that's cool if you want to do it as a hobby, but that doesn't change lives, but it really does. It really does actually have the ability to be life or death. So I'm pausing. That was my rant of I work in film and then now I finally get to make a show that matters.

"I was always a project based, so I would do movie commercial music video short film, whatever. I did 6 movies one year, but I was definitely full time hourly, but I never was consistent at a company because it's hard to align or it was hard for me. I won't speak for everyone, but aligning with the vision of a company, aligning with what they are trying to do. And putting your name, your reputation, who you are, and realizing that you're putting your life, your hours, you're working towards something. And if you're not on mission and on vision with the company that you're working at, for me, it was hard to put in those 18 hour 20 hour days, which is very standard in the film industry. So coming to Bitcoin magazine and getting to really start building out studios and I know that's kind of we're just making it a thing by using it. So I will say it is a new entity. It's been a new kind of branch within Bitcoin magazine to do original content with a high production value, but do instead of typical, I would say made for YouTube style to really elevate and make more content that is shareable with your normie Friends. And I still have normie Friends. I still have some film Friends even, not that many. Most of them have forgotten me. I've forgotten they knew me. But I would say that this is a series that a lot of the intention behind this has been to create easily shareable stories to help people understand an angle of why Bitcoin matters and why Bitcoin is important. And anytime I'm talking to someone that doesn't maybe know very much about Bitcoin, I always try to figure out what are their incentives. What are their motives? What do they value? Do they value freedom? Do they value independence? Do they value their family? Do they value? Are they a libertarian? Are they wanting freedom of religion or everyone has something that they care about? And if you can figure that out, you can pretty much figure out how you can tell them why Bitcoin helps that. And in a lot of my conversations, I find myself talking to a lot of older, more gold bug, you know, parenting type of people. I love them. But hard cells, hard cells on Bitcoin. And a lot of them will say, yeah, I don't see why I would need that. I don't think that this would make a difference for my life. And I actually typically agree with them. You know, maybe they're driving Uber. I talked to a lot of Uber drivers. Maybe they're driving Uber in their retirement. They don't, they're really not in the maybe ideal time zone, not time zone.

And for whatever reasons, you know, there's things that come. So it's been sad, I guess. It's been a little bit of a while since we filmed these episodes. So it's really exciting to feel like, once again, the rebirth of this show. And I think the timing of everything is interesting too. And it's going to be, it's going to be interesting to see even unfolds in the next 6 weeks. We plan to be releasing one episode each Wednesday at noon central time. Starting tomorrow, February 1st. So by mid March, where are we going to be out in the world? What's going to be happening? I'll say one thing and then we can kind of go back questions or I can kind of talk about some different highlights of the making of the show. But big picture, you know, I was in film and television in I say legacy but only when I'm talking to bitcoiners because no one else no one else gets that. But traditional mainstream film and television for my career that was what I was doing before I started working in Bitcoin. And it was very clear that there was whether or not the agenda was clearly explained for each project, but there's always a theme. And there's always a message through no TV show that exists. There is no commercial that exists that doesn't have a message. That's why we're telling stories we're marketing. So with a commercial, it's trying to get you to sell it, get you to buy the thing. So they're selling you, they're selling you a lie, whether you'll be happier if you have this or you're not enough without it. Whatever the angle is, but at a certain point, I was very stable in my career and I was working on really great jobs. They paid well, it was very fun, creatively. But I didn't believe in any of the messages of what I was doing. And I so deeply the best thing about working in Bitcoin is that you are working with people that believe that what they're doing matters and that gives a certain sense of purpose. I know that a lot of us, I mean, it's a new, it's a teenage industry. So there's a lot of room for growth. There's a lot of figuring out how this is going to work. And there's iterations and developments and technologies that are just wildly wildly rapidly progressing. But working a Bitcoin magazine, I just hit my one year last week, which has been, it's wild to think this is actually the longest I've ever had a full-time job, which is funny.
AJ Benza: Fame is a Bitch
What Made Zayn Malik Shove Yolanda Hadid Into a Dresser?
"So Zayn Malik has pleaded no contest to harassing Gigi Hadid and no, I'm not arresting her. Harassing her mom, Yolanda Hadid. They had a big argument last month, apparently. Now him is easier done right now. But this happened when they were not done. So he's been charged with four counts of harassment for allegedly calling. Now this is the greatest line every called Yolanda, the one of the original, I don't know if she was original, but one of The Real Housewives, he called her a Dutch slut, I never heard it before. I think it's genius. A Dutch slut, he screamed about his sperm and apparently he pushed her into a dresser during an altercation. Now, here's the story. He was at home. He lives in Pennsylvania, so does Gigi so does Yolanda and so does the sister Bella? Do you know they all live in the same compound like the same like cul de sac or the same general area, they're all near each other. It's very strange. And I don't know why Pennsylvania. I know this land out there, but that's a little pencil. Pennsylvania is the endless state. You could pick a better state to live than pencil fucking Vania. Oh God, at least the clock. When we drove through what we called schitt's, we had friends relatives lived there. I got a summer house and we'd say, let's go to shed Slovenia. I don't want to go shit silvania. Beautiful homes, beautiful property, but not a good ride. So apparently he's home with the baby. And Yolanda walks into the house. Does it not just walks in? And of course, she must have said something to him, and he went ballistic called her a Dutch a Dutch slot. He said, stay away from my fucking daughter. He also mentioned, now this is a bit crazy. I apologize. He said the fucking sperm that came out of this fucking okay, you know what I'm gonna say. He was very, very protective of his daughter. And apparently he grabbed and shoved her into a dresser and that of course called her caused her mental anguish and physical pain. She's a housewife, so it's gotta cause her

And i have to say i feel a little sick to my stomach because it's good to raise your meat. I get that. But they're not part of a cycle and Do you know what i'm saying whereas this is really a whole cycle. We manage our one acre of pasture that we've cleared out of twenty five acres of woods. It's mostly woods here. We've managed that so intensively With no rotational grazing. And we really pay attention. I mean we do have to get. Hey but now we're getting it anyway. From somewhere on the island we manage that you know very very carefully and when they do have their lambs each year. We make sure that they go to good home. So we'd never take them to an auction where there's people in agriculture goats or they trees company and people come by see the lamb sin and then they'll slaughter them the following fall. Well i don. Sometimes i've seen some wonderful stories that are resilient of some large sheep operations in the mountains that their grazing the lambs are born in the mountains. That raised on mother's milk can ben by the by the fall they actually either already for market or they may have to be in a feed lot for a month or so a little grain of they haven't changed the way and it's a beautiful story to in.

Amazon Alexa Gets New Voices, Including Actors Melissa McCarthy and Samuel L. Jackson
"This month. Alexa is going to sound a little bit. Different on july fifteenth the tech giant rolled out an update to its digital voice assistant to include a second voice option. As you know amazon's assistant typically has like a feminine sounding voice with this update. You can change that to a more masculine voice setting this all up his quite simple. You just say the assistant's name followed by quote. Change your voice and quote but that's not all there's an additional wake word you can use in place of alexa. That new word is ziggy Basically it works the same way instead of saying the primary name of amazon's digital assistant You can say ziggy instead. If you're a fan of gigi and you've never tried to swap out the wake word and you kind of want to try it out. Anyway you have some other choices to You can use amazon. You can use echo or you can use computer And the way to do this is really simple. Just like with the change. Your voice option. You can make a query to the assistant and say change the wake word to whatever you want Another way to do this too is open up the app for the voice assistant go to the menu. Select your settings than device settings. Then you go to the device that you want to update with this new wake word and then you choose the when you want and that's it now if you don't want either of these options for voices you can actually add a little bit of celebrity flare After introducing an option awhile. Back to add actor. Samuel jackson's voice to queries amazon is much similar offerings featuring actress melissa mccarthy an nba legend shaquille. O'neal so the way it works is you kind of ask them directly as you would amazon's digital assistance. You might say hey shack. Tell me about the weather. Hey samuel Tell me about the news today.

Tesla Shares Realistic Update on Semi Rollout
"All right so. Let's take a look at this tesla semi report. This is from electric this morning. Headline reads tesla semi truck is finally about to go into production just for a couple items of context here. The last official communication we got from tesla on the semi was in q. Earnings report back in late. April tesla said that tesla semi deliveries will also begin in twenty twenty one. So that's the last. We've heard from tesla but electric also reported in march that tussle was building a production line for the semi at gigi. Nevada intending to produce about five semis per week by the end of the year. Now tesla hasn't officially disclosed where they are going to produce the semi in volume at on their latest annual capacity update and the earnings report. Also they said that the semi location is still tvd but the prevailing thought seems to be that it will start at giga nevada with this early stage production the learn from that and then eventually make the semi in texas anyway back to the electric report. The new information here is that quote now sources familiar with the matter. Total electric that the drive axle production line is ready and the general assembly line is going through. Its final debugging before starting production and quote so. That's a nice update to here on continued progress for the semi in terms of timeline information. I'm not sure that gives us a whole lot that we didn't already know. I think that probably still just puts them on track for a few deliveries this year. So at expect when we get the cue to shareholder letter on monday. It'll probably just maintain that same line of tesla deliveries expected to begin this year. And that's probably all the information that we're going to get although maybe they'll talk about it on the earnings call.

Now, this is your second time on on the show. First time was with the Mitch over a year ago. So yep. Yeah, you know, what's going on. So in case you guys missed that that his previous outing with us, she's a former Halo Pro Gamer. I like I said, currently VPN for a growth that first Blood you were also, if you are still part of the Air Force National Guard CRVs, Gigi your formerly director of Esports and later director of digital Communications for Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks, I guess they're gaming. Then the team itself, which is awesome. And so, I mean, you've been through the ringer on on quite a lot of of things here. So you go from Pro Gamer, to working with the Mavericks to kind of forming their own way through the business of Esports. And I just got to say, Applause all around, not many people can make that that kind of transition know, I appreciate it. I think that it was, I'll say that some of it was an accident, some of it was just need a shipping but overall it's been, you know, a very been very fortunate, very excited to, you know, move on to the next project and see what I can make happen, but it's been an adventure. Definitely wage Uh, to take a career in gaming, essentially After High School. Just instead of going straight to college like everyone else did, I went straight into gaming and I was just all about it and sort of led me here, so that's cool. So I'm glad you bring up something first. I really want to, I want to go over just your former career. I guess, as your past life, as a Halo Pro, I mean, you can pay for about four or five years on the page, the circuit. And then you you I imagined there were some, some important lessons you learned as a player that kind of helped you later on. As you kind of went as more, you know, managerial corporate business. He type of Esports a personality. So, what kind of lessons did you learn? As a player know, I think the biggest lesson is networking. So when I was competing I was, I was off hyper focused on, you know, just rivalries competition in general. And at that point, you know, I'm like eighteen, nineteen, twenty. I'm I came into it a little bit later than everybody else. Then I was competing against, but the networking side was something that I had to pick up gradually. I didn't just have it. So I went into it and I treated every rival as if they were like my Fierce enemy. And I, you know, it was like the only people that I hung out with and talked to were the people that I was teeming with and trying to make a career with. And it took me a while to start to understand that, you know, if she is on my side and the more connections and friendships that I cater to, the more people I had the opportunity to team with the more people that ended up staying in the industry and working in the industry. And so by the end of my career change, you know, just gaming and Halo. I was able to make a lot of friendships that I now, even utilized

Saving Sea Level Records: What Historical Records Tell Us About The Rising Ocean
"So lauren you sent me a picture of one of these century old title logbooks and it's so cool. It's really detailed. You can see where it says one. Am someone's written thirteen feet one fifteen. Am fourteen feet one inch in this. Really lovely old penmanship tracking tied. Did people really do this. Twenty four hours a day every day of the year they did. They had technology. That actually made it easier though In the late eighteen hundreds they developed an automatic system which had this float that rested on the surface of the water and then fed information to kind of a pen that recorded the movement so then people just had to read off the values and put them into the ledgers and this was done in other places to lake near hillary island. The port of liverpool also has a really long running title record. That makes sense because this was the era of ships rights. Watercraft was the way that people and things got around. Yeah exactly you had a lot of ships going in and out of port and so they were shipping companies. That had to keep track of the tide so it can be done safely two day. Some of those old records are archived at the permanent service for mean sea level which is an organization in the uk that gathers ocean data worldwide Andy matthews a data scientists. There told me the data are pretty reliable. You know most of the time. Those woman over on point is a little hand square school saying they. They sweet because the Tyja for was sick. You get little insights now with him. Everybody needs a sick day right. Of course andy says they're trying to organize a bigger effort to find these records. Because you know since kind of obscure they're hard to find yet but it can be anywhere these kind of things now in libraries from people that we all kaisei done coin. Doug well they are. Yeah this is quite the quest and an even bigger issue. I imagine is that when they find them. The data is still stuck on those pages. Yeah his colleagues scanned about sixteen thousand pages. But the numbers are on the page and they haven't been digitized so they're really not usable by scientists. They're trying to use computers to do it through character recognition. But i mean you saw that writing right. It's kind of like the script and the formats can be really hard to decipher so india's hoping that the public will help he recently put the images on zoom verse. A website and so volunteers can kind of in and and read the numbers. Type them up. I love this approach. I mean we're all bored at home looking for something to do this pandemic so why. Not some historical data as tree right. Yeah i mean data entry for a greater good seriously but to get into the nitty gritty of it. Why exactly is an important to look at data from the eighteen. Hundreds to understand sea level rise today an into the future right. What does that matter. Yeah right. I mean it has to do with how complex sea-level rise is because it's been caused by a number of different things. I mean i. You got glacier's melting temperatures causes them to shrink and that water runs off into the ocean and the same thing is happening in greenland and antarctica. Where there are these massive ice sheets on the land and there's so much is melting in gigi tons tapping increasingly fast. And i know that oceans are also rising because the water itself is warming up and hotter things expand so the water slick taking up more space. Yep you got it and actually. This is kind of cool. Sea level rise did slow down in the nineteen sixties and seventies because that was the era of dam building around the world. When you know when these big reservoirs were being constructed. They held back so much water. It was actually measurable. Ooh that is so strange and it really shows how we humans do impact the oceans. That's like a tangible detail of how quickly we can do that. It's a huge scale. But it's not really a factor anymore because you know dams aren't really being built at the same rate these days got it. Yeah anyway since one thousand nine hundred there's been about eight inches of sea level rise and by the end of this century. We couldn't be looking at three to six feet of sea level rise or even higher depending on how much carbon humans emits but. that's globally. The water is rising at a different pace depending on where you are. Yeah how exactly does that work. Because wouldn't the phil evenly kind of like when you fill a bathtub. And here's where it gets a little weird. The earth is slowly changing slowly getting a different shape lake. You know when you've been sitting on the couch while and you kind of get up and the cushion rebounds like morphs back into its old shape. Yeah not all couches but sure theoretically Well okay that same thing happens to the earth's crust During the last ice age Kind of started waning. Eleven thousand years ago. There was a lot of ice on canada and greenland super heavy and was pushing down the earth's crust since that melted the crust has been slowly rebounding. And that's actually not good for the east coast especially around the mid atlantic region. Because you know it's on the same tectonic plates as canada and greenland and when one side goes up. The other side goes down So what you're saying is where i live on. The east coast is on the lower end of the see-saw basically your thinking about that slowly. I mean the east coast is seen more sea level rise than other parts of the country. And then there's a whole bunch of other things that can cause that to you. Know ocean currencies big things that span hundreds of miles in the ocean. They cost the water on one side of them to be higher on the other side. You know so. Because of currents and gravity the oceans themselves are just kind of lumpy which is why sea level rises different everywhere. I am learning so much right now. You're basically saying is that sea level rise is local essentially and if cities want a plan for this and figure out what an who is at risk they'll need tailor-made information for their location. Yeah that's where these historical records come in. You know they reveal what these geologic processes and ocean conditions are doing in each place right right and i signed us refine their computer models. Which are those high powered ways that we get forecast about climate change. I spoke to scientists. Tomas friedrich's at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory about this and he said local records really matter. If we don't have that information for these see to be like a few feet off the local records of sea level so especially when we try to projects like high water levels of like extremes sea levels that's how we call them It's very difficult to to get an accurate picture of that but there is a big issue with a historical records. They already have almost all of the ones that have been digitized. Come from europe and north america So what you're saying is we gotta find more places. More hillary islands so to speak with historical sea level data all around the world. Yeah and this is a problem across many kinds of climate data. actually the southern hemisphere hasn't been covered as well with things like whether stations and other kind of data collection historically So there's just this big effort to find these historical records outside of europe and the us in argentina. They're working to digitize records from nineteen o five that were taken at the port of raise But to go back farther in some countries it means looking at the records of former colonial powers that took control because when countries like the uk and germany and france extracted. Huge amount of resources from colonies often through force. They did it largely through shipping colonialism stealing and keeping a record of it yeah pretty much so right now in france the national hydrographic service is digitizing these title records from dozens of their former colonies from madagascar vietnam Some of those records though aren't as long running you know they were gathered. As part of geographic mapping or you know to study an area where they were putting in port project. But i spoke to one person who is working with the french to stitch together a longer running record dating back through his country's colonial history marbella unika for seafood unique is from cameroon and he's a phd student in france right. Now he started in german archives. Because that was the colonial power in the late. Eighteen hundreds until france took control so he's gathered the french records as well and then he the cameroon records after it became independent in nineteen sixty. Yeah that's really interesting. Project and just a clear example of how the legacy of colonialism continues to impact science today. Yeah yeah i mean. It's digging through. His legacy is how he's kind of finding these records And there's really only one other long-term record in africa and that's from the car senegal so he knows cameroon could be crucial for improving global climate models But it could also be really helpful for cameroon itself. Nieto's just told me that. The country's largest city douala right on the atlantic coast and estuary and it's extremely vulnerable to flooding already. I'm just last year. There was a huge flood that displays thousands after really heavy rains. So when you add sea level rise to that it just makes the flooding issue worse. So he's hopeful that the historical records he's finding will lead to more detailed forecasts about just how fast the ocean is rising there because twala like other cities needs to start preparing now communities need to decide whether to move out of the way or build some kind of protection and

She resembles mostly her teenage self. An equestrian who showed jumped competitively while growing up in her hometown of santa barbara. California what i really wanted for my experience was to feel like okay. This is a natural thing that women are meant to do. She planned to deliver it a new york city hospital but then the realities of covert hit particularly sequestering here ninety minutes from manhattan and the limits on numbers in the delivery room which would preclude yolanda and bella from being present. Then she and malik watched the two thousand eight documentary the business of being born which is critical of medical interventions and depicts a successful home birth. We both looked at each other. And we're like. I think that's the call. Gd says they placed a blow up bath in their bedroom and sent their three cats and border collie away when the midwife expressed concern that the sphinx and maine coon felines might puncture the tub with their claws. Malik ask gee-gee what music she wanted to hear and she surprised him by requesting the audio of favourite children's novel the indian in the cupboard. He downloaded the film because it was one of his favorites too and they spent the early hours of labor watching it together. That's something we'd never talked about. But in that moment we discovered we both loved. Gd says bash family. She then tells me that malik. The former one direction star turned solo artist. Who has famously press shy and declined to be interviewed for.

She can't go any longer without drugs. I had to dig deep. Jichi says i knew it was going to be the craziest pain in my life. But you have to surrender to it and be like this is what it is. I loved that you'll monda and the midwife coach through the pain there definitely was a point where i was like. I wonder what it would be. Like with an epa darryl how it would be different jichi frankly. My midwife looked at me and was like you're doing it. No one can help you your past the point of the epidermal anyway. So you'd be pushing exactly the same way in a hospital bed so she kept pushing. I know my mom zane. Bella were proud of me but at certain points i saw each of them in terror says she ducking under a leafless branch. Dow also who've sucking in the muddy terrain afterward z and. I looked at each other. And we're like we can have some time before we do that again. The baby girl named kai digi revealed on instagram in january from the arabic for the chosen one was a weekly. She was so bright right away. Gd says adding that. The baby's heart rate stayed consistent throughout the labor. That's what i wanted for her. A peaceful bringing to the world. Kyw's world has so far remained small. Her mother rarely leaves the bucolic corner of horse country where the hadeed put down roots in two thousand seventeen. Malik bought a nearby farm.

None of the traditional celebrity crutches of new motherhood during our interview the baby stayed with her father and zan's mother tricia who is visiting from england for a month to help she decided to completely take care of the baby alone says yolanda odd.

Hello her arms wide on the threshold in. Camo print puffer and boots. I'm proud of her face on magazine but seeing her give birth was a whole other level of proud yolanda says you go from looking at her as a daughter to looking at her as a fellow mother. The natural transitions and generational shifts of new motherhood are at play in the household. It is a family happily influx on the sprawling. Thirty two acre property. The handful of cottages are designated for different siblings. But this summer. When g g moved out of her cottage into zan's house bella and brother anwar graduated to larger cottages leaving.

Sabrina Carpenter Addresses Speculation That ‘Skin’ Is About Olivia Rodrigo
"Last week. We had discussed the whole. Olivia rodrigue driver's license situation with sabrina. And joshua bassett excetera and since then. Sabrina actor released her own song called skin. Before i get into it. Let me just read you. The caption of her instagram. She posted tonight. Sabrina says thank you to everyone who has listened to skin especially those who have opened their minds to lyrically is trying to get across. I wasn't bothered by a few lines in a magnificent song and wrote a distraction. It i was at a tipping point in my life for countless reasons. So i was inspired to do what i usually do to cope right something that i wish i could have told myself in the past people can only get you if you give them the power to and a lot of people were trying to get to me. The song is in calling out one single person some addresses specific situation while other lines address. Plenty of other experiences. I've had this past year. It also shows that many things have actually gotten under my skin. And i'm still learning to knock have other people so much power over my feelings. I know a lot of you struggle with the same thing. I don't want this to become an endless cycle so please don't take this as an opportunity to send more hate anyone's loss of loved you all. Thanks for letting me grow anybody who listened to the song the main courses basically you can try to get under my skin while he's on mine so i mean listen if she's going to say that it wasn't a direct response fine but like. I really liked sabrina carpenter. I think they're both really talented. I just it was so clearly response. In my opinion the only reason it wasn't a response is because the original song had nothing to do with her. That right so confused. Yeah that's what i think. People were so confused about because of your song was really about her relationship with joshua and what went down there with the one line that mentioned sabrina. Basically saying like you're probably with that blonde girl who always made me doubt she so much older than me. she's everything i'm insecure about. That was it. Whereas sabrina song i think at least when you listen to it the first time felt like was directly about her directly addressing. Olivia song so. I don't know i. I really like them both. I was so confused when i first heard it because it felt so misplaced to me. It was like wait a second. Like if i'm being honest nothing as women you ever want other women to be insecure. But let's just cut the bullshit for a second is the guy you're dating has ex girlfriend and that ex-girlfriend publicly says that you make her insecure not that you want that prefers second that's kind of the best compliment you could ever get like. It was so confusing me. There were all these names of like olivia. Rigo call sabrina. Carpenter gorgeous says rita carpenter releases a distract. You

Is Jimmy Garoppolo Proving To Be a Disappointing Player?
"The next quarterback. I wanted to ask you about is one that I it pains me to ask you about them because there's so many reasons why Jimmy Garoppolo has not turned off to be aware that any of us want.

I love comedy because you're constantly learning and growing and often every gigi kind of sit down and reassess right what went well. What kind prove on which was which is funny. Which bits do i need to work. Open caught with to flow a. I'm working on stage with audience.

And i already felt like this was my favorite show that i've ever done. It was certainly the funniest. The i feel like i've ever done We'd done three shows of it onto and then suddenly lockdown happened and another. Gosh i can't remember how many shows we had see cancel. But i will say do comedy select corporate events as well and if those sub me become sold for about the first month i i think i had asked of rights going straight backs of my therapy sessions from therapy for over twenty years. Now go straight back to all of the the inpatient treatments of like mealtimes eat well sleep well have good routine. Stay motivated have project. Stay stay creative. And the first month.

So if if i'm able to find a funny way of expressing whatever is going through whether that's a mental health thing or just a life thing or family single friend thing or criticizing. If i can find a funny way of making into a a joke or something. I can use in comedy routines. It's a way of me surviving. That that dog darkness in my mind and and being able to curate. My thoughts in a positive comedic way is survival technique and so this year i i did have a couple of moments thinking. I'm i going to do my friends. Were i wanted to say the phrase jumping ship but then notes that they are postponing as you say like that. They're not giving up comedy. But that just in order to survive that that changing to a completely different career for a while i have managed to get some virtual of had quite few lovely virtual gigs and in fact quite few of them have been a because of the mental health angle. Because we've had lots of things like the world mental health awareness week and a mental health day and They've been great. We'll sit on lots of virtual gigs on twitch and next up comedy and mixed bill nights a and they've been different if they've been. I've actually really enjoyed them. I've wanted to get more inventive. Like how to make it more of an active experience for the audience because comedy is an active experience for the audience. It's is. I said it was a conversation so every show that you do. When you're on stage it can go completely differently depending on the mood of the audience. All the way you all. What medication
