And finally, an Iranian official worries that the (Russian) Hamster Kombat crypto-clicker game is a part of the West’s “soft war” to interfere with elections by distracting Iranians.

Not satisfied with only lying about how much their “grassroots” crypto advocacy group has raised, Coinbase is now also fudging the numbers around how many crypto pizza parties they prompted.

i probably have hundreds of role models, ranging from people i know in real life to long-dead historical figures to fictional characters. regardless of whether we consciously identify a person as a role model, we emulate those we admire.

those arguing that taylor swift can't be a role model because she is an unmarried and childless woman at 34 are doing a great job of arguing that children need more women role models who are unmarried and childless at 34

Coinbase's "Stand With Crypto" PAC website is now confirming what I reported earlier. More than 99% of the amount they claimed was raised by this supposedly "grassroots" PAC is in fact massive corporate contributions to the FairShake super PAC.

Here's a glimpse at the spending in each race. Other outside spending for Curtis mostly came from a super PAC called Conservative Values for Utah, with Defend American Jobs pitching in $5M last minute. And as I mentioned, Bowman's other opposition primarily came from AIPAC's UDP.

Though Fairshake (nominally nonpartisan, and by far the highest fundraiser of the crypto PACs) previously made identical donations to both, they've just made another $5M donation to DAJ without a corresponding donation to PP. DAJ has raised $14.7M so far this cycle; PP $10.3M.

"Defend American Jobs" was the PAC splashing out in the Utah race. They're the Republican-focused crypto super PAC; "Protect Progress" is the Democrat counterpart.

Ads run by these PACs made no mention of crypto or technology. In the NY race, ads from Fairshake seemed to align very closely with AIPAC's aggressive campaign against Bowman, echoing their messaging accusing him of antisemitism.

In my personal view, option 1 is almost strictly better. Option 2 is never as simple as "only allow actual human beings access" because determining who's a human is hard.

Fighting bots is fighting humans. One advantage to working on freely-licensed projects for over a decade is that I was forced to grapple with this decision far before mass scraping for AI training.

it’s discernable, though challenging to find at a glance. it’s something i’ve incorporated into my upcoming project. it doesn’t change the numbers that much, though, at least at this stage — just subtract $10.6M that fairshake has distributed to two other crypto super PACs.

hypothetically they might consider going for the sedans in that lot. i’d imagine spray paint is a lot more challenging to remove from auto paint than from unfinished stainless.

1. FF PAC is a hybrid PAC, so it doesn’t show up with the list of Super PACs (I’m deciding on whether to change this in my project). You can see all PACs here: www.fec.gov/data/committ...
2. “Planning to spend” != “spent” != “raised”
3. Fairshake has raised more than FF this cycle
