Years ago, this village in the Netherlands felt like a distant dream, almost too perfect to be real. Standing there, I was struck by its beauty, as if time had stopped. The air, the colors, the stillness – it was surreal. pic.twitter.com/BQXj07Bo4E
- Andy shared the indictment of a man charged with wire fraud for profiting off botted AI music streams, calling it “interesting”— don’t get any ideas, Andy.

- Magic Eden announced a new .us domain for its US based customers and a “feature rich” .io domain for international users — a possible hint to Americans that $ME is not for YOU.

- Batsoupyum compares art stored on ETH L1 to a Swiss Bank, and art on L2s to a local mini storage — So where is art on KnownOrigin stored, the Allegheny Plumbers Credit Union?
Would you rather store your art in a temperature controlled and guarded facility in Geneva or at the mini storage down the street? 😂 https://t.co/Wq5xH3ENtY
