Thought Slime posted a video on Liberals and Charlie Kirk (linked in my post). It touched on a few ideas I've been wanting to explore more.
Why is it that, even though we talk "memes" going "viral" we are still talking about "Free Market of Ideas" as though ideas were inanimate objects we could handle and observe objectively? Perhaps that idea is it's own infection.

Panel talking about dark markets on nostr.
Nostr can be quite anonymous and encrypted and connected to payment via bitcoin. Can it therefore do Silk Road? Allow anonymous markets?
Nobody wants to publicly advocate for selling illegal drugs, but yeah, sure, people could do that. There's even protocol types for market places.
Relay owners might get into legal issues if they are forwarding illegal market listings. But this is true in general, there are also illegal images and even illegal text.
Nostr relays and Devs might find themselves in legal trouble anyway, due to the general legal crackdowns on internet requiring age proof and id on websites obstensively to protect kids. These are freedoms we all need to fight for. Perhaps brains will drain to more free jurisdictions? Devs move to where open development is legal? Not the panel at least. They want to say at home.

China's shift to electric trucks may reshape global fuel demand
China is rapidly replacing its aging diesel trucks with electric models, signaling a major shift in the world’s largest vehicle market.

Electric trucks are now cheaper to buy and operate than diesel ones. Forecasts suggest heavy-duty electrics could account for half of new sales by 2028.

Strategic Analysis of Just-In-Time Liquidity Provision in Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers
Liquidity providers (LPs) are essential figures in the operation of automated market makers (AMMs); in exchange for transaction fees, LPs lend the liquidity that allows AMMs to operate. While many prior works have studied the incentive structures of LPs in general, we currently lack a principled understanding of a special class of LPs known as Just-In-Time (JIT) LPs. These are strategic agents who momentarily supply liquidity for a single swap, in an attempt to extract disproportionately high f…

The Fed doesn't control long-term (i.e. federally-backed mortgage) rates.Those reflect what the credit market believes inflation will be over the long term and how much return they think they can get elsewhere. Lowering rates before inflation has absorbed the tariff shocks and settled down will increase long-term inflation expectations, raising long rates.

Demand, and consumer surplus in the payday-loan market: Evidence from British Columbia
This study examines how interest rate caps affect the demand for payday loans, using aggregate data from British Columbia (2012--2019) during which the province's maximum fee was reduced from \$23 to \$17 and then to \$15 per \$100 borrowed. Estimating a linear demand function via OLS, we find that lowering interest rate caps significantly increases loan demand. We estimate that the \$8 decrease, from \$23 to \$15 per \$100, raised annual consumer surplus by roughly \$28.6 million (2012 CAD). A…

Using a unique dataset of interim odds from Japanese horse racing, this study examines the validity of such static analyses by asking whether there is a systematic relationship between expected returns and the trajectory of odds.
