@ColumbusCouncil @ColumbusPolice has the absolute worst dispatchers. I called the police on 3426 Weyburn Court 43232 setting off aerial grade stadium fireworks in the street, hit my window and garage no police showed up. Damaged windows

Happy Independence Haiti!
Jean-Jacques Dessalines led armies to defeat France to become the first free colonial society. It was the greatest slave uprising since Spartacus.
It was a powerful reminder that Black liberation Could be achieved.

As I usually do during this time of year, I wanted to share my favorite books, movies, and music of 2023.
First up, here are the books I've enjoyed reading. If you’re looking for a new book over the holidays, give one of them a try. And if you can, shop at an independent bookstore or check them out at your local library.
What were some of your favorite books this year?

Six years ago, the GOP Tax Scam cut taxes for the wealthy, hurt middle-class families, and added $1.8 TRILLION to the national debt. When Republicans tried to blame older Americans for our growing national debt last month, I pulled out my whiteboard to do the math.
@elonmusk @cnnbrk @AttorneyCrump @BlackCaucusMD @TamikaDMallory . All of these black people driving Teslas and Elon Musk said DEI Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is a lie! I sold my Tesla. And canceled Starlink.

While all oracles may appear like just oracles, we know from experience and onchain data that they are not.
Chainlink is being built to resist manipulation, while other oracles for data, decentralized automation and cross-chain services actually seem to be built with value extraction from unsuspecting users as a planned strategy. If we're trying to build a better global financial system that consumers and institutions can put their faith in, it might be a good idea to build high integrity markets and avoid building systems that are expressly made to rebuild the rigged casinos of the past.
Frontrunning. Information asymmetry. Conflicts of interest.
@SergeyNazarov on the wolf in sheep's clothing attack:

Chainlink is a platform that has now gone far beyond being the leading source of decentralized data, becoming a leading method for off-chain trust-minimized computation and now on its way to becoming the leading cross-chain connectivity standard across both Web3 and TradFi/Banks.
All of this is powered by the decentralized oracle network (DON) method pioneered by Chainlink, forming the basis of $9,000,000,000,000+ in transaction value enabled so far. This foundation continues to see new types of oracle networks emerge, and I do strongly feel that the oracle network model can encompass all of the data, computations, and connectivity that needs to be made trust-minimized and verifiable outside of a blockchain.
Combining Chainlink DONs with Smart Contracts on 1000s of various chains is how we get to a scalable, feature rich, and truly main stream verifiable web/Web3 world.

A global Internet of Contracts that merges public chains and bank chains and facilitates hundreds of trillions of dollars.
That's what #Chainlink aims to enable.
