Every year in Lopburi, Thailand, the Monkey Buffet Festival transforms the grounds of the historic Phra Prang Sam Yot temple into an enormous feast for thousands of local macaques. Held on the last Sunday of November, the event features long tables piled high with nearly two tons of food — including watermelon, pineapple, durian, bananas, coconut, vegetables, and sweets. The festival begins with a colorful opening ceremony featuring dancers in monkey costumes, followed by the grand unveiling of the lavish buffet. Hundreds of macaques quickly descend on the spread, climbing fruit pyramids and scrambling across tables in a chaotic but celebrated feeding frenzy. The tradition started in 1989 when a local businessman, with support from tourism authorities, organized the first buffet as a way to thank the monkeys for their role in attracting visitors to Lopburi. What began as a small gesture has grown into one of Thailand’s most unique and popular cultural events, drawing international tourists and media attention every year. The festival has become a beloved symbol of Lopburi’s identity, celebrating the city’s famous monkey population that roams freely among its ancient temples.

During talks between the U.S. and China earlier today, both sides seemingly agreed on key issues on Iran. Most notably, that Iran cannot be allowed to charge tolls for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

During talks with Minister @ryosei_akazawa, I was glad to share that thanks to President Trump’s policy of American Energy Dominance, the United States is now exporting a record amount of energy to the world. I highlighted the continued positive collaboration between the United States and Japan on issues pertaining to critical minerals and supply chains, and I emphasized the need for rapid and consistent progress on the U.S.-Japan investment agreement.

During Consensus, I was asked several times about the story of ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 as far as we were aware. Many people were pleasantly surprised by how we managed to exit our position without damaging the community. This is the summary. When we set up the process for accepting crypto donations at @stjude, we set the criteria that we would convert the assets donated as soon as reasonably possible. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is focused on leading the way that the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. While we (the crypto industry) may wish the world would leap forward and be more on-chain, that isn't how it currently exists and we need dollar denoted currencies to run the hospital. Nearly 2 years ago, .5% of ASTEROID was sent to the St. Jude ETH wallet. We didn't have a way to readily convert it into US Dollars, so we left it in the wallet. Due to external factors, the token went from a market cap of ~$20k to over $150M. Our position fluctuated between $500k and $1M in valuation. I had several messages asking if what we were going to do, and I responded to a few that we were figuring it out. The next 48 hours were a whirlwind of approvals, but I knew two things. We would need to go to a DEX (a first for our mission) and that we would need to avoid hurting the community. Leadership understood and gave approval for the approach and we proceeded. Some people may disagree with how we did it, but I believe it to be the best option out of the ones that we had. Over 2 days, we proceeded to exit the position in 12 varying sized tranches. During the entire process, we kept an eye on liquidity of the token and did our best to ensure it never dropped below $3.5M and that the Net Buy pressure didn't exceed $75k. We exited the position with over 290 ETH valued at ~$676k. Thank you to the ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 community that came together on this asset. These monies will go a long way in support of the life saving mission of St. Jude. Disclaimer: Discussion of a token is not an endorsement of the token, do your own research.

During the Artemis II mission, astronauts had a fun time playing around with water in the weightlessness of space. Artemis II was @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy's first spaceflight — so his crewmates taught him a lot about the physics of water in space.
