not exactly a headcanon but sorta-about the blog: you know, when I write that Emma has a lot of... success with npcs men in threads (and possibly women) it's not specifically because she's the prettiest there, which she may not be, or because she's sooo beautiful (to be fair, in my eyes Jennifer Morrison is gorgeous, but like. all women hired to act as main characters usually are) but because she radiates the vibe that you may just get to sleep with her, if you charm her enough to make her go from joking to facts. Or if not at least you get positive attention? Maybe for dreamers that they could win her heart, even if it's more of a subconscious thought? Because in my experience when a bunch of men who like women find one that gives them the impression she may be into them, it's DONE, even if it's not for sure (but still more possible than one who gives you the 'nope' vibe even if at the end of the day she may say yes too), let alone if she looks like that and she's friendly and single. The fact that you really aren't sure and 90% of the time nothing will happen probably adds to the charm/challenge.

The Life of Pi

So I just finished reading "The Life of Pi", am still reeling from the ending, so this is a quick, unpolished take, but what the hell was that book doing in The Punisher? The show about a man who, you know, is so very NOT a religious vegetarian pacifist?

How did Frank 'Are you Catholic? — Once' Castle, who lost any remaining faith in God after the brutal massacre of his family, ever manage to get through a book where the protagonist suffered the same fate — even down to the tragedy having likely come from incompetence (drunken sailors vs Samantha Reyes' botched Central Park op) and greed (lack of lifeboats vs Agent Orange's operation).

I kinda wonder what Leo's take from the book was too, seeing as her family is Jewish but not terribly devout? and also that Leo is, what, eleven? twelve?

How did Frank, whose trauma is still so fresh in his mind, whose main priority is to avenge his family and make sure none of that shit happens again to anyone he cares about, his eternal soul be damned, he's made peace with having crossed the line you don't come back from — how did he manage to get through a book where the protagonist's solution is seeking strength and solace from God even harder than he used to before? A book that is so full of solid, enduring, rapturous faith? So full of kindness even towards a dangerous predator, and appreciation for the miraculous beauty of life, of the world all around us?

How is he and Leo discussing it so calmly?

For Leo, yeah, she's a kid, for her The Question might have been "Do you think the tiger was real?" For Frank — no bloody way. It's not even the point of the book, in my (still reeling) mind. It's about people and the atrocities they're capable of, the chilling dark side of the humanity (and man do I have some thoughts on the parallels with war vets, after listening to this podcast), and the way we cope with trauma, and the way people might prefer a fancy tale with animals instead of one that is so terribly twisted. Or, how maybe it's a kindness when others pretend they believe your fancy coping mechanism of a tale better.

(It's a beautiful contradiction of a person's ability to believe the unbelievable vs a person's ability to face a gruesome truth)

They could have done so much with those parallels, but ok, it was probably a matter of copyright limits as well. I'm gleefully cackling at the simple fact that apparently Frank had to suffer through it. I absolutely imagine he launched the book at a wall a few times in frustration and wild disagreement and hurt and because it must have been so raw to read it, and then grumpily went to pick it back up because he'd promised a kid he'd read it.

So yeah, that was a very interesting choice of a book in The Punisher, but it can't have been light bedtime reading material for Frank, whose reaction to his own tragedy has been very very different, and who is supported by people who can both face his gruesome truths AND believe the unbelievable - that Frank Castle is a good man.

@blackeyewhiterose , you were curious about my take on that book :D

2024 Tokenization Boom: A New Era for Real-World Assets

In 2024, the landscape of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is experiencing a transformative shift, marking a significant milestone in the financial industry. Tokenization converts physical assets like real estate, commodities, and art into digital tokens on a blockchain, enhancing liquidity, accessibility, transparency, and security. This revolutionary technology makes high-value assets more accessible to a broader range of investors. As we explore the current state and future prospects of tokenization, it is clear that this technology is set to reshape the global financial ecosystem significantly.

Tokenization is predicted to be a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity by 2030, with market estimates suggesting it could reach up to $16 trillion. The United States is leading this revolution, followed by countries like Singapore, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, India, and Luxembourg.

The total value locked in tokenized assets has surged to $10.53 billion, with major financial institutions launching tokenized investment products. This signals a major inflection point for the industry, underscoring the significant role tokenization will play in the future of finance.

The benefits of tokenization are extensive. It allows for fractional ownership, increasing liquidity and enabling investors to buy and sell portions of an asset. This democratizes investment opportunities and bridges the gap between traditional and digital financial markets. Tokenization also reduces transaction costs by eliminating intermediaries and automating processes through smart contracts.

As regulatory frameworks evolve and technology advances, tokenization is set to revolutionize the financial industry. Intelisync provides cutting-edge RWA tokenization services to help you navigate and capitalize on this financial Learn more....

Kamala Harris just announced that her vice president will be Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Based on the coverage so far I'm really reassured by this decision.

The Washington Post did an obviously great job of making a prepared article for each option, considering how long an article they had up 7 minutes after the announcement.

((Okay technically it's not an official announcement yet it's "according to three people familiar with the pick, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that is not yet public." But listen. I am 99% sure this is a weather balloon. (Meaning: a deliberate leak to gauge reaction.) Because the sheer weakness or incompetence on the part of the Harris campaign that it would take for three people to all confirm that within a few hours hours of each other and the planned announcement it is massive.))

Honestly this decision, from everything I've read and can tell, looks like it's brilliant politics.

Important Context: The vice president(ial candidates)'s job in an election is not to be similar to the president. The vice president's job on the ballot is very, very much specifically to be different from the president. Why? So they can cover each others' weaknesses. Especially regionally.

(Sidenote: I feel a bit ridiculous saying this. But genuinely if you want to get a stronger understanding of how US elections really work. Go watch seasons 6 and 7 of The West Wing. Genuinely, a lot of politicians have said - especially back in its day - that that was the most accurate depiction of an election they'd ever seen. Also specifically features an entire arc about a contested Democratic primary convention, so also very good if you're interested in understanding weird nominating convention shenanigans.)

From the article:

"Harris’s choice for a running mate was among the most closely watched decisions of her fledgling campaign, as she sought to bolster the ticket’s prospects for victory in November and rapidly find someone who could be a governing partner. In picking Walz, she has selected a seasoned politician with executive governing experience and signaled the importance of Midwestern battleground states such as Wisconsin and Michigan.

Walz’s foray into politics came later in life: He spent more than two decades as a public school teacher and football coach, and as a member of the Army National Guard, before running for Congress in his 40s. In 2006, he defeated a Republican to win Minnesota’s 1st Congressional District--a rural, conservative area--and won reelection five times before leaving Congress to run for governor.

Walz was first elected governor in 2018 and handily won reelection in 2022. Though little-known outside his state, Walz emerged publicly as one of the earliest names mentioned as a possible running mate for Harris, and in the ensuing days he made the rounds on television as an outspoken surrogate for the vice president...

“These are weird people on the other side. They want to take books away, they want to be in your exam room. … They are bad on foreign policy, they are bad on the environment, they certainly have no health care plan, and they keep talking about the middle-class,” Walz told MSNBC in July. “As I said, a robber baron real estate guy and a venture capitalist trying to tell us they understand who we are? They don’t know who we are.”

Walz also has faced criticism from Republicans that his policies as governor were too liberal, including legalizing recreational marijuana for adults, protecting abortion rights, expanding LGBTQ protections, implementing tuition-free college for low-income Minnesotans and providing free breakfast and lunch for schoolchildren in the state.

But many of those initiatives are broadly popular. Walz also signed an executive order removing the college-degree requirement for 75 percent of Minnesota’s state jobs, a move that garnered bipartisan support and that several other states have also adopted.

“What a monster. Kids are eating and having full bellies, so they can go learn, and women are making their own health-care decisions,” Walz said sarcastically in a July 28 interview with CNN when questioned whether such policies would be fodder for conservative attacks, later adding: “If that’s where they want to label me, I’m more than happy to take the [liberal] label.”

Walz also spoke at a kickoff event in St. Paul for a Democratic canvassing effort, casting Trump as a “bully.”

“Don’t lift these guys up like they’re some kind of heroes. Everybody in this room knows--I know it as a teacher--a bully has no self-confidence. A bully has no strength. They have nothing,” Walz said at the event, sporting a camouflage hunting hat and T-shirt.

Walz has explained that he felt some Democrats’ practice of calling Trump an existential threat to democracy was giving him too much credit, which prompted his decision to denounce the GOP nominee instead as being “weird.”

“I do believe all those things are a real possibility, but it gives him way too much power," Walz said on CNN’s “State of the Union” regarding the Democrats’ rhetoric. “Listen to the guy. He’s talking about Hannibal Lecter, shocking sharks, and just whatever crazy thing pops into his mind.”

If Walz is elected vice president, under state law, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (D) would assume the governorship for the rest of his term. Minnesota Senate president Bobby Joe Champion, a Democrat, would become lieutenant governor."

This guy. Sounds like. fucking Moderate swing-state/rural/Midwestern/southern/"heartland"/working class white voter catnip. He sounds like he's also a very smart politician and strong campaigner. And he's apparently genuinely a good guy with a good record, too.

He sounds like he's going to do a really good job of appealing to voters in several of the big deal swing states without being from any of them specifically. Which means it doesn't feel like pandering to one of the states involved (and thereby spurning the others), which is also great.

(Also he was the one who started "weird" @ conservatives and I think we should take that seriously as a very good political instinct/move. Judging in large part by how it has so clearly hit an actual nerve with conservatives like so little else. Also hugely relevant: that post going around about how part of why conservatives are so upset about "weird" is because in the Midwest, "weird" specifically also implies anti-social or harmful behavior.)

Officially feeling more optimistic about Trump not winning in November
