Estimates suggest that hundreds of ⭐️psychedelic churches operate illegally in the US.
As court interpretations evolve, religious freedom claims expand and more Americans drift away from traditional religion,
these groups are increasingly emerging from the underground to push boundaries over which substances – and beliefs – deserve protection.
The Church of Gaia recently became the first psychedelic church to win government recognition by petition rather than suing.

Religious groups using banned drugs are increasingly testing the limits of faith and law – and winning

New Gist: A Presidential Trio
"Michešl Martin's candidate Jim Gavin (or Don Uachtaršnacht as he's also known to the less observant poster reader) beams, shiny-faced, down on the public with all the political charisma of a middle manager in a soap factory. He can't wait to visit some community groups, he explains in his interviews with the zeal of a man eating a slice of waterlogged bread. "

The Gist: A Presidental Trio
After a campaign lead up where every head-the-ball in Ireland suggested they'd like to be President, we're left with the bare minimum of three choices. This is the Gist.

Content warning: re: bitcoin conference report

Thomas voegtlin talks about nostr spam. It's very censorship resistance means spam can't be stopped by moderators.
One way to stop spam is require proof of work before your client accepts a message. A large difficult hash.
But big hashing machines are more available to spammers than people.
Can't use likes or zaps cuz they can be faked with sybil attacks.
Instead: notaries and proveably burned satoshis.
Your public messages are classified as ham rather than spam if you burn enough money.
Nostr event types to prove it are suggested. Including burning to upvote others messages
Don't think I like deliberately burning the money, and seems to me a web of trust might work without doing that? Pay to post also peanizes there poor.
But it isn't really burned here, it's shaed out to miners to continue a subsidy when the block rewards run out. So paying miners and these notaries rather than really burning. Okay. Maybe better, but still makes messages mostly for the rich?

That's how our hike at the #mummelsee started ... and how it was when we were up there. - But the walk was quite okay.
We checked the rain radar and decided to go back down rather quickly. We leveraged our rain gear and it did not disappoint us! 🙂
So we didn't see the area atop - the so called

Perched atop a densely forested hillside, a quaint observation tower and building overlook a tranquil scene. The lush, evergreen forest—rich with deep greens and hints of lighter foliage—cascades down toward a calm, reflective lake below. The sky above is overcast, casting a soft, diffused light that mutes the colors into soothing tones, creating an atmosphere of quiet serenity. The structure at the summit, partially obscured by the treetops, suggests a rewarding destination for hikers seeking…
A quiet, winding trail meanders through a lush forest, inviting exploration into its verdant depths. Towering trees, their trunks a mix of muted browns and grays, stretch upward to form a dense canopy overhead, filtering the soft, diffused light that gently illuminates the path. The forest floor is a tapestry of earthy tones, with scattered stones and roots peeking through a bed of pine needles and fallen leaves. To the right, a rocky slope is adorned with vibrant green moss and delicate ferns…
Shrouded in a veil of soft, misty gray, a solitary stone tower rises from the foggy highlands, its rugged silhouette blending seamlessly with the muted tones of the overcast sky. The tower, sturdy and timeless, is accompanied by a quaint building with a green-tinged roof, its wooden bench inviting weary hikers to rest. The gravel path leading to the structure hints at countless journeys taken, each step a story of adventure and exploration. The atmosphere is one of quiet mystery and contemplat…
A misty veil of soft gray clouds lingers over this tranquil mountain lake, creating an air of quiet mystery. The dense forest, a lush tapestry of evergreen pines and scattered deciduous shrubs, frames the still waters below. Vibrant green foliage contrasts subtly with the muted tones of weathered rocks in the foreground, adding texture to the scene. The lake itself rests peacefully, its surface barely disturbed, reflecting the muted light filtering through the overcast sky. A faint outline of …

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "# Scene Description This image captures an intense face-to-face confrontation between two men against a stark white background.

The man on the left has curly, dark hair and wears what appears to be a brown or tan-colored garmen…

My podcast feed is suddenly filled w/ a Palantir ad. Stern male voice w/ no music says how AI isn't putting people out of jobs; rather, Palantir is making American employees indispensable. So many layers to this, but also suggests AI overlords are finally reading the room.

My eyes are suggesting that El Cheato may not have long before either a stroke or other disabling failure.
Should such an event occur, I do not wish for his death. Rather I would prefer that he and JD get into a 25th Amendment match that results in the effective immobilization of the R-party.
But should Cheato die in office, I am wondering what would be an appropriate way to honor his passage into the underworld.
Given his NYC history, perhaps a parade of garbage scows in …

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image shows a person in a distinctive silver/metallic costume with a black turtleneck underneath, standing in what appears to be a futuristic set design. The individual is positioned at what looks like a control panel or console with transparent elements. The costume has a retro sci-fi aesthetic typical of British television productions from the late 1970s/early 1980s. The setting features angular architectural elements with geometric shapes and panels …
