Bitcoin and NFTs were invented because of a scarcity of scarcity. Someone decided that there isn't enough scarcity around and decided to make a bunch more scarcity so now we have an abundance of scarcity. A bona fide cornucopia of dearth.

I had no idea Richard Pryor was also a singer and used to open for Bob Dylan and Nina Simone.🤯 This is him in 1966 singing the blues. What an incredible voice… and his awkward bow at the end makes you want to give him a big hug.♥️

If this new Batman is, like Robert Pattinson, 35 years old and Bruce Wayne was 8 when his parents were killed, it’s entirely possible that the movie Thomas and Martha Wayne saw just before their death was CITY SLICKERS II: THE LEGEND OF CURLY’S GOLD
