Good news everybody! It’s a million degrees and a 1000% humidity in DC for BirthdayBoi’s human cockfight. The mosquitoes and noseeums are out in force, according to pocket friends on the ground.

According to The Weather Channel, there will be a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 miles per hour.

And it gets better. UFC said fighters will receive payment in called “”. World Liberty named the currency “”.

World Liberty is a venture of the family and the family of Steven , Trump’s friend and special envoy to the Middle East. The company is now listed as an “official sponsor” of UFC Freedom 250, the fight scheduled for later today.

Conflict of interest? Never met her. Grift all the way down with man. All the way down.

    [noted]: The Second Circuit has rejected Sam Bankman-Fried's appeal, upholding his conviction and 25-year sentence. The court ruled that whether his investments ultimately paid off is “irrelevant”. Meanwhile, SBF has applied for a presidential pardon.

      My work tracking cryptocurrency and AI industry political spending has only underscored the importance of getting big money out of politics. I recently talked to Tiffany Muller, President of End Citizens United, about what it would take to do that, and how we’re closer than you might think.

        Generate Random Data From Sound Card

        - a neat hack for the properly paranoid -

        Your computer is likely generating random noise on your sound card. On some systems you can harvest this noise as true random entropy. This entropy can be diffused and whitened for use in cryptography.

            House Oversight Democrats have published a Web3 is Going Great-style “Trump Family Digital Grift” counter
            oversightdemocrats.house.gov/t

            This goes with their recent staff report, “Professionalized Corruption: How Donald Trump is abusing power and accepting digital kickbacks from foreign and criminal interests to cash in on the presidency like never before”

            oversightdemocrats.house.gov/i

            (The report cites my writing on Trump’s USD1 stablecoin, published here: citationneeded.news/issue-83/#)

            Trump Family Digital Grift Profits $2,255,399,364.28
Total Trump Family Digital Grift Wealth $8,712,974,364.28
Trump Family Digital Grift Profits from Foreign Interests $437,004,026.96

While Americans struggle to buy groceries and pay rent, Donald Trump is making his family richer through digital grift schemes— collecting profits through digital wallets and granting pardons to the highest bidders.
 
While Trump and his family are using the White House to make billions, we are tracking every cent. As of January 2026, our Committee’s analysis shows that these schemes have contributed to an estimated $2.25 billion in realized profits for Trump from foreign payments, corrupt oligarchs, and others.
 
This total rises to as much as $9.7 billion when the value of Trump’s digital assets is factored in, with as much as $436 million coming from foreign interests. President Trump should be serving the American people—not his own pockets.

                Hexlish Alphabet for English, Constructed Languages and Cryptography: Automatic, Structural Compression with a Phonetic Hexadecimal Alphabet

                DOI : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13139469

                Hexlish is a legible, sixteen-letter alphabet for writing the English language and for encoding text as legible base 16 or compressed binary. Texts composed using the alphabet are automatically compressed by exactly fifty percent when converted from Hexlish characters into binary characters. Although technically lossy, this syntactic compression enables recovery of the correct English letters via syntactic reconstruction. The implementer can predict the size of the compressed binary file and the size of the text that will result from decompression. Generally it is intuitive to recognize English alphabet analogues to Hexlish words. This makes Hexlish a legible alternative to the standard hexadecimal alphabet.

                  Uncageable

                  From the light of freedom to a concrete tomb,
                  The fall was great and swift.
                  My soul cried out in a mighty boom,
                  How could it come to this?

                  Clamped down, trapped stuck,
                  Paralyzed in a tiny cage.
                  Had fate left me not a drop of luck?
                  Was there reason for this rage?

                  Told to lay down and die,
                  Something deep inside me stirred.
                  I can’t be caged I have to fly!
                  Not yet am I interred.

                  They can take my body, tie me down,
                  It matters not a bit.
                  My spirit still runs wild and free,
                  So in freedom here I sit.
