I know he means just in general being angry that a woman exists and assuming she must be every cartoon of 'woman bad' he imagines but I love the idea that he thinks she goes to, like, work in the shark suit. Like there's a guy in the desk next to her all 'ugh, Alanah wearing her shark suit AGAIN' as he tries to finish a storyboard or whatever.

And I still don't know who that woman is and why you expected everyone to recognize her. She's a fairly famous game journalist and writer, lots of people recognise her. edit: and the context, from your edit, is in the tweet she was quoting.

The National Health Service in Britain was founded by Nye Bevan, a cabinet minister who was the son of a coal miner and he based it on the Tredegar scheme that was created by Welsh miners. So I'm more than happy to see top positions filled in by people from "ordinary" backgrounds rather than the usual spads (special advisors to MPs who go the position after studying PPE at Oxford).

So I actually watched a few YouTube videos about creating and selling NFTs because I thought maybe it could be an easy way to fleece idiots and make money. The video I watched was pretty interesting because it kind of showed where the money is going. So lets say I wanted to sell an NFT. First I need a coin wallet, which is free. But to load up the coin wallet I have to have coins, obviously. Most coin wallets have a companion coin conversion app. So I want to convert 100 to coins, but there is a fee, so I only get about 98% of the money in coins. Then I want to load coins from my wallet to an NFT curation program or exchange, that is another fee. Then I list the NFT. The video I watched, the guy started with 100 bucks and by the time he had created and listed the NFT he was at 88 dollars worth of coins. But when the NFT sells there is a transaction fee, which can be huge and is variable. And by huge I mean up to 120 bucks. So when they list the NFT they have to take that transaction fee into account. I imagine withdrawing the money has the same amount of fees, so the people really making most of the money are the exchanges, wallets, and transaction facilitators. Also, I looked through opensea.io which seems to be the biggest repository of NFTs and these poo poo art ones actually seem to do the best. Looking at Lazy Lions specifically, it seems to be the platonic "ideal" of this grift. They started with a bunch of different art assets that are all interchangeable and use a program to generate 1000 quasi-distinct lazy lions. Using opensea.io you can actually see what percentage of the collection has certain traits, like in lazy lions it would be "This lion has an earing, only 24% of the collection has jewellry" and stuff like that. There are tons of poo poo art ones like this and they are all the same. It looks like they are trying to imitate collectible cards. A lot of the collections have websites built to make them look worthwhile too, again, Lazy Lions does this as well. This might not be an accurate report, but I had a few hours to kill and was trying to figure out if I could sell an NFT of a picture of my dog and make some money. Answer is, probably not unless I spend a couple hundred hours creating a fake market and generating a few hundred different iterations of the picture of my dog and then spamming it around on twitter with some follower and retweet bots.

A lot of it is Hummel figurines or any other sort of collectable where there is a small market willing to pay insane prices. With crypto it is even more insular because the market also uses its own made-up currency. One thing worth noting here is that a common move in cults/new religions is to create a parallel economy. It makes leaving really hard because converting the community money to real money really hard because people outside the community are like, "WTF, this is worthless." Crypto is a little different from a normal parallel economy because it also dips into the black market where it has utility for things like drugs, money laundering and illegal pornography. But that doesn't matter to true believers and NFTs is absolutely something for true believers.

I feel like the "separate economy" part has issues because you can't buy like, food and poo poo with crypto and man cannot live on drugs and illegal porn alone. I mean yeah you probably can buy food with crypto but not, I think, in a sustainable way. Unless I guess you subsist wholly off techbro soylent drinks.

Isn't the point of soylent that you can only eat it and get all the nutrients you need? I think it's things like rent or mortgages that you can't pay in crypto is what makes it not a replacement for real money instead of just being a ponzi scheme.

It's $9 million worth of some crypto currency, not $9 million straight up. I'd turn it down too because there's no way to exchange it for actual money.
