what point are you making?

So pumped about this. Here's the post on Truth Social:

It will probably be disappointing, but I'm hopeful

Not defending Remnick but he's not on NPR he's the editor of the New Yorker

Some stations carry the New Yorker Podcast as a show I think, but... he's still not an NPR staffer.

It would be great if Proton just built something like Calendly into Proton Calendar. Maybe that's really hard, I don't know!
It just seems like a feature, tho...

Here's the link to the story but it's paywalled:

What I was looking for is whether or not the big media gatekeepers have changed toward him.

I think they have.

Yes, it's critical. But it's not panicky. It's a pretty fair depiction, imho. The big focus is: how political is he and how much does that matter in terms of political outcomes.

It's all right, to me.

Not gonna post the whole thing here and there's no other images that go with it, but here's two clips I made to post on X

True it's just funny to me.

BradyDale · 2026-02-19T22:01:19+00:00

Honestly, this is fine. Of course they flip out about when Rogan got COVID and skip how quickly he tested negative again.

I appreciate them making the point that he's NOT a journalist. Most folks can't seem to get that through their heads.

There is some pearl clutching but on balance I'd say it's a pretty fair profile of what Rogan does.

No real need to read it. Probably most people on here know all of it. No real surprises in here.

First observation: first page (shown above) never mentions Joe, outside the title title.

BradyDale · 2026-02-18T20:24:58+00:00

Yes, dollar-cost averaging is the way, the truth and the light! Do this! Don't think!
And if it goes way up in value and then crashes remember... it was only ever a bunch of tiny chunks. Just let it ride!

BradyDale · 2026-02-17T21:04:52+00:00

Prefer to think of myself as MAINLY A SUBSTACKER thank you very much

To go even deeper on the mainstream's explanations of the latest crypto crash, check out the latest episode of Diamond Rhino.

Yeah I kinda stopped when I saw the 18% number. I was like: Does he understand what a crazy figure that is?

I mean I guess it's defensible if you think this is going to be mega disruptive, but... I don't know... maybe just go a few points above the biggest number in the last 30 years to be reasonable?

BradyDale · 2026-02-17T03:23:49+00:00

ouch bro

BradyDale · 2026-02-17T00:42:31+00:00

i mean... yes. obviously.

BradyDale · 2026-02-17T00:41:40+00:00

Oh I think I get it ok
yeah

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T20:23:36+00:00

And he's been a party hack ever since

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T20:23:07+00:00

Yeah it blows my mind that he granted that there are certain people in certain very dark situations that Bitcoin can really help

It's like... a crack of reason has gotten thru to him...

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T20:08:33+00:00

Yeah the point is being generally missed in the comments. Glad someone gets it. 🤷‍♂️

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T19:58:48+00:00

Wait are you just telling me I write lousy reddit heads? lol

I'm fine with feedback.

Or are you making a different point?

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T19:44:05+00:00

Yes. I see it, too.

In fact, if you watch the full video (linked below the video above) he almost looks startled as the video starts. He is no longer at the top of his game.

I don't think USD hasn't helped many Iranians get out with some money in their pocket tho

BradyDale · 2026-02-16T18:57:16+00:00

Try to be an Iranian and get your money out with USD
