CoinGlass did not invent the liquidation map. They aggregated OI, funding, and already printed liquidations from 2019 (Bybt). Useful. Not the same product. The forward-looking LiqMap — clusters of where leverage will die — was public from @kingfisher_btc in 2020. Proof: • Kingfisher LiqMap software: Jul 2020; public docs indexed Oct 2020 • Medium, 20 Dec 2020: LiqMaps as a live product • Medium, 9 Sep 2021: full LiqMap spec (all_leverage, high_leverage, optical_opti) • @coinglass_com, 5 Jul 2023: “New features — Liquidation levels / Liquidation map” You do not announce a map as a new feature three years later if you invented the category. CoinGlass popularized the free lesser quality heatmap screenshot. Popular ≠ first. Sources: thekingfisher.io/history · coinglass.com tweet 1676535780838367232

McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion dollars to find out why families stopped coming. I can save them the 8.5 billion. They took out the playground. The plan, announced Wednesday at investor day. Better food, faster service, new equipment, AI tools, hospitality training, and a bigger push into chicken and beverages. They call it Next. The goal, they say, is making customers feel more comfortable. Wall Street loved it so much the stock fell 5 percent to its lowest since 2022. Over five years McDonald's shares are down 3 percent. Burger King's parent is up 14. The owner of Taco Bell and KFC is up 13. This is not a hamburger problem. This is a McDonald's problem. So let us talk about who used to eat there. Parents. That was the whole business. Parents at 5:40 on a Tuesday with three kids in the back and nothing thawed at home. You did not go for the burger. You went because your kids could run screaming through a plastic tube for 40 minutes while you sat with a coffee and experienced silence. That was the product. The food was the cover charge. The first PlayPlace opened in 1971 in Birmingham, Alabama, and for fifty years it did one job. It made small children demand to go to McDonald's. Then 2020 arrived, every play area in the country closed, and a great many never came back. The equipment came out during a remodeling program named Experience of the Future. The Experience of the Future turned out to be a touchscreen. Their own chief executive said he did not know if ball pits were in their future. Sir, you were not selling ball pits. You were selling forty minutes. So now there is no counter, no playground, and no reason for a seven year old to want to go. A screen, a window, and a bag. And for that we pay prices that require a moment of reflection in the parking lot. For thin, overcooked, oddly uniform pucks that taste like a memory of beef. I did not love them because they were good. I loved them because I was eight and there was a slide. And have you seen the new buildings. The old ones were unmistakable. Red roof, yellow arches, legible from a highway at 70 to a child who could not yet read. The new ones are a flat gray box with a small logo and a drive through wrapped around it. A regional claims office with a fryer. They removed the color, the characters, the counter, and the playground, and then hired consultants to find out why it no longer feels like anywhere. Which is why, when I have to eat fast food, I go to Chick-fil-A. Not for the politics. For the competence. They have led the customer satisfaction index for fast food eleven years running, and average 8.5 million dollars per location against McDonald's 4 million. More than double, while closed on Sundays. Fifty two days a year with the lights off, and still double. A seventeen year old hands you a bag and says my pleasure and means it about 70 percent, which is 70 percent more than a touchscreen has managed. McDonald's is spending 8.5 billion on hospitality training. Chick-fil-A earns 8.5 million per restaurant by just having some. So here is my consulting proposal, free of charge, on behalf of mothers everywhere. Put the playgrounds back. Not a nostalgia campaign. Not a retro cup. The structure. Tubes, slides, a door the kids cannot open from the inside, and a bench where a tired woman can sit. And understand what you are buying, because it is not lunch. A six year old does not know your food is bad. He has no basis for comparison and no functioning palate. He thinks the burger is incredible because he is standing in a castle made of tubes. That is the window. That is the only window you get. You catch them before the taste buds arrive, and thirty years later they drive past your sign, feel something they cannot explain, and pull in anyway. That is not a menu strategy. That is imprinting, and you shut it down in 2020 to save on cleaning. Eight and a half billion dollars for AI tools and hospitality training. Or a slide. 🦋

wait… so you’re telling me these KOLs “printing” on fomo and pump were just: > partnered with teams to buy coins using funds given to them > paid cash to publicly hodl those coins > never actually had their own capital at risk > round-tripped the “profits” because it was never their money > led thousands of their “followers” who are used as exit liquidity to the slaughterhouse > and somehow convinced everyone they’re god-tier traders wild. don’t confuse an undisclosed paid partnership with someone actually trading their own capital. one is trading. the other is paid marketing.

"Yeah so this guy IcoBeast who doesn't get paid to promote Kalshi, he literally works there, insulted this Swiss autist on X named Beni, and told him to cope, rage and seethe. Beni got triggered and dug up all this evidence that pointed to Kalshi wash trading. Kalshi legal tookover IcoBeast's account and responded. Then John Wang piped in, and made Beni even more angry. Beni is talking to the WSJ, Bloomberg, the Coffee Podcast guy, it's crazy. He's hiring lawyers before he dumps even more damning proof. One autist against a $40 billion company. Pure cinema."

RT @TylerDurden: We messed up can we go back

astra was setting up OBS, and it saw I didn't respond so it looked through camera to see if i was looking (which i wasn't) it made my mac beep which made me lookup and it flashed the question on screen 💀

Omg the internet is wild.

There are very few organizations that have proper incentive structures for BD/ sales

Anthropic is so worthless man. If I can't tell a model 'fuck you' (a normal thing to say when the $200/m thing refuses a low-risk task) then we are not even remotely fucking close to AGI. "wait but the model has feewings and does better if you say 'I believe in you'!" -- I'm talking to a fucking computer. You are pond scum.

If BTC goes up a bit more you'll start seeing Saylor rebuy what he sold at the bottom Watch

Now live !

It's warm around the fire...

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware. Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner. Cleanest practical example I can think of for why over-indexing on first order safety alignment is risky. When closed (and open) models ship with aggressive refusals, they will be sprinkled with second-order blindspots that attackers will discover...and exploit. We are only in the earliest days of attackers leveraging these features, and it wouldn't surprise me if users systems that need to handle complex cybersecurity issues demand that models be less safety-blunted. In the weeds: @SocketSecurity's post also shows why intention matters in how you design a malware analysis pipeline to avoid prompt manipulation. H/T to colleagues that shared this with me socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hu…

telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06… Man attempts to behead another man in the street. "No evidence of terror at this stage, say police" If that isn’t terror, what is? How much more terrifying does it need to be to qualify as terror?

The wallets short on the "MicroStrategy sells any Bitcoin" pool would owe more than polymarket's entire $82M Q2 revenue if it resolves to YES This is why they also happen to be the UMA voters Decentralized they say
