My one brush with fame:

Glenn Beck was a local morning zoo guy back in the mid-90's, friend of my roommate at the time. His show was typical derivative garbage, lots of fart noises and whistles, no politics.

Anyway, I had some good weed and my roommate asked me to get him and Glenn high as prep for some concert.

So I smoked Glenn up. Clearly a novice weed smoker, he immediately got paranoid and weird, and I felt bad as I knew I had totally ruined any chance he had at a good time that night.

Fin.

Not to minimize Beck; I am watching the interview now and it's enlightening, as he often is.

I think you're right about FTX/Bitcoin, but I doubt the government's ability to shut down "real" crypto without sweeping control over the Internet that would make China blush. Not sure they're smart enough to enact such controls without causing too much self-harm even if they have the will. There are plenty of easy deep-pocketed targets they can pick off for a while - Tether's time is almost up, it seems.

Hot damn. Welcome back, Jeff. Maxine Waters heading up the investigation? Why don't I feel relieved? It's all a fucking joke. Anyhow, can't wait to read more. Take care.
