this is my new go-to NFT reading recommendation. really well researched and nuanced article with lots of real-world references from someone with a ton of experience in digital art.
I wrote an essay about the many problems with NFTs. Thanks to all the readers who gave feedback. Image credit: Bored Horses Stable Club, a website by Phil Braun. qotile.net/nft/

i want a future with more panther modern and a2p projects, a metaverse that we build for ourselves; i don't want to live inside someone else's fantasy, specifically not a market-driven fantasy

The headwaters of the Mississippi flows out of a beautiful park— Itasca.
Why would we want to pump 915,000 barrels a day of tar sands oil through it?

Minnesotans: from now on the ONLY WAY YOU CAN VOTE if you haven’t voted already is IN PERSON. If you have an absentee ballot you haven’t returned, that’s ok: just get to your polling place by 8pm to vote either inside (mask up!) or curbside instead. Make your voice heard by 8pm!
It’s now past the 3:00 pm deadline for hand-delivery of absentee ballots. If you still have an absentee ballot, vote at your polling place until 8:00 pm. You can vote there either inside or “curbside” (from a vehicle).
Find your polling place here: mnvotes.org/pollfinder

Right 12: Private armed forces are illegal in Minnesota and may not interfere with your right to vote.
If your rights are being violated, call @MNSecofState’s hotline:
(877) 600-VOTE
Ben Moren retweeted
Minnesotans, if you still have an absentee ballot, do NOT mail it.
Hand-deliver it today or tomorrow until 3:00 pm.
Vote in-person today at a city/county office OR tomorrow at your polling place.
For more info go to mnvotes.org.

Minnesotans, voter intimidation is ILLEGAL in Minnesota. Share and keep this Know Your Rights handout so you can vote safely. Call @MNSecofState’s hotline if your rights are violated: (877) 600-VOTE

If you have an absentee ballot at home, don’t mail it!
Drop it off in person by 3pm on Tuesday and remember to check where you’ll do it by visiting MNVotes.org.
Some drop-off locations may not be open Tuesday.
Ben Moren retweeted
If you still have a ballot at home, don’t mail it! Too risky.
But:
1. You can hand-deliver until 3:00 pm on Tuesday.
2. You can vote in-person by absentee at a city/county until Monday.
3. You can vote at your polling place on Tuesday.
For more info: mnvotes.org

Folks, in light of the 8th circuit decision last night, if you have not already voted and are not planning to vote in person on Tuesday, you should TURN IN YOUR BALLOT IN-PERSON. Here’s how. Please SHARE WIDELY and go to mnvotes.org go learn more.

Minnesotans - if you haven’t mailed in your absentee ballot yet, you should drop it off in person at your nearest ballot drop box, early vote center, or county election office by 3pm on Election Day. Find yours at MNVotes.org

BREAKING: Because of LAST MINUTE ruling, Minnesota DO NOT put ballots in mail any more.
In the middle of a pandemic, the Republican Party is doing everything to make it hard for you to vote. Stand up for YOUR rights:
Vote in-person or take mail-in ballot directly to ballot box
