Geyser is a crowdfunding system.
Lots of history of patrons raising funds from the public for art works or public infrastructure.
Kickstarter and the like on the internet made this much easier. But it's all bank money which is conservative and restrictive. Not global. High fees and middle men.
So doing it freely with bitcoin makes some sense. Censorship resistance and global scope.
Geyser has been running and funding projects for a while. Non custodial and money goes to creators only if target reached in time, otherwise returned.
All open source in smart contracts on chain.

But when a team is in a rut and needs to stop the bleeding, the old standard works. Everyone knows a 4-4-2 and confusion in duties is largely eliminated.…

Presumably this encourages him to defect really? Even if he wasn't planning to leave, why stay around in a party that can't win and is sacking people on paranoid presumptions that they will leave?
Seems like all the rats at the Conservative party are jumping ship to Reform. People will be voting Reform at the next election and literally getting the exact same ministers as when they voted Conservative at the last one.
This isn't like the usual "Vote X, get Y", where the broken electoral system lets the least popular party in because the popular political wing is divided. This is literally "Vote reform, Reform win, but you get the exact people who were standing as Conservative last time"
Is this really good for Reform? It's voters are trying to avoid voting Tory, surely? Adding all the old tory ministers to their ranks has to hurt rather than help?

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from withholding federal funding and threatening hefty fines against the University of California
amid the administration’s attempts to coerce elite US universities into adopting and promoting conservative ideals.
US district judge Rita Lin of San Francisco issued the preliminary injunction late Friday,
saying the government was not allowed to demand payments from the California school system over the administration’s cla…

House Republicans held a hearing Wednesday broadcasting long-standing conservative allegations of a left-wing bias in the small, prestigious Truman Scholarship program.
Witnesses called by the GOP said the winners disproportionately espouse causes such as promoting racial justice and fighting climate change
—and wind up working for Democrats and left-leaning organizations
—while few recipients profess interest in conservative aims.
But rather than counter the allegations…

Trump's sweeping tariffs appear to be on shaky legal ground, with Supreme Court justices on Wednesday indicating he may not have the authority to impose them under a law designed for use during a national emergency.
The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority that has regularly backed Trump on various contentious cases since he took office in January,
but based on the almost three-hour oral argument, the tariffs dispute could go the other way.
Both conservative an…

The Trump administration is today’s comprehensive belittler of conservative ideas.
Its solicitude for “conservative ideas” will not encompass this one:
-- Many things are beyond government’s proper scope and actual competence.
Watching today’s politics toy with an institution of MIT’s complexity and importance is like watching a toddler play with Sèvres porcela

West Virginia Sen. Chris Rose has introduced a proposal to incorporate 33 conservative counties from Virginia and Maryland into the Mountain State.
Dubbed the

the plan would alter state lines to include all counties bordering West Virginia, except Democratic leaning Loudoun County, Va.

A few conservative representatives with ties to the FBI and the Justice Department have spilled that
the true details of the Epstein files are “worse” for Trump than previously reported, according to journalist David Schuster.
Michael Wolff, a longtime chronicler of Trump’s White House who conducted extensive interviews with Epstein prior to his death, told The Daily Beast last month that
Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with half-naked “young girls” in his lap.

Abortion will stay legal in Wyoming
after the state’s supreme court struck down two near-total abortion bans on Tuesday,
ruling that the laws violate the constitution of the profoundly conservative state.
In a 4-1 decision, the justices decided that the two bans
– which include the nation’s first exclusive ban on abortion pills
– violated a 2012 state constitutional amendment.
That amendment affirmed competent adults’ right to make their own healthcare de…

It is hard to imagine a worse decision than the Supreme Court’s ruling on Thursday

In a 6-3 decision, the six conservative justices have opened the door to states being able to adopt unconstitutional laws on voting
— with immunity from judicial review for at least one election.
At the urging of President Trump, Texas’ Republican-controlled state L…

Rumors flew in the hours after a shooting at Brown University killed two students on Dec. 13.
One falsehood had it that one of the victims, a leader of the college Republican Club, was “targeted for her conservative beliefs, hunted, and killed in cold blood.”
Another was that it had been a terrorist attack, a claim that made the rounds when a Palestinian student was identified as a possible suspect two days later and hounded on the internet.
