we’ve come a long way since the FIT21 bill in may of 2024, today the GENIUS act signed and CLARITY on its way to the senate. a chance last year, with fridays at @thepark and @fridaysatthepark tim's startup, good neighbor event, an aligned moment in nashville, linked me to my los angeles congressional representative, and their team opened capitol hill doors with an invite. together with others, we had conversations and long talks about usdc, music, and insights into the coinbase wallet back then. with much progress made there, now my mission focus is on energy. those same hill hallways led to the advance act (august 2024) that opened that deep dive for /nuclear fission. now it’s time to execute, with heart, grit, innovation, and people who put america. AMERICAN DYNAMISM baby! never bet against 🇺🇸 longer read in the substack post. keep going! https://open.substack.com/pub/davidtphung/p/chance-in-nashville-change-in-washington?r=cxk1s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

devoured devotion: this spot for croissants > gjusta as soon as i entered the shop this morning, the aroma hit me, and i knew this was one of those moments, devouring my first bite of the day. instantly, anthony bourdain’s line came to mind: “eating with abandon couldn’t be more of a turn-on; it shows you’re comfortable with yourself.” that bite embodied the belief i cherish - - the state i want to live in, for the mission i’m called to build, from the table to doing life and in bed with my future wife and everywhere else. to let passion expose mediocraity so that unseriousness for cherish and live life REALLY well can dissipate 18” + away from my sights and fingertips. this shop embodies the crafted love and devotion by clémence and the team. WITH @giuseppe @leemaggio thank you for showing me this local shop. this spot has BIG HEART. take a bite, lick and eat out the crumbs off your fingertips, and stay heartFULL! https://open.substack.com/pub/davidtphung/p/eating-without-abandon?r=cxk1s&utm_medium=ios

a quick story and thoughts: memorial day in palm springs: the electricity stopped flowing, neighbors wandered out, grills kept sizzling, and energy’s hidden fragility showed itself. two lessons from vaclav smil on power density & resilience in the post ⚡️ https://paragraph.com/@davidtphung/when-electricity-stops-flowing-on-memorial-day

In a recent blog post, @davidtphung reflects on an unexpected power outage during Memorial Day, revealing how this experience brought the community together in conversation and intent observations.

tweet: "Why is there no National Nuclear Energy day in the U.S. 🤔 @isabelleboemeke" response: i celebrate nuclear energy everyday—rain or shine because diablo canyon quietly powers ~9% of california’s grid (17% of its clean energy) and ladwp gets under 4% from palo verde nuclear generating station in arizona. visited diablo canyon power plant today: learned reactor 1’s 18-month fueling cycle (serendipity story encounter next week). thank you pg&e team tweet: https://x.com/msaavedra1026/status/1918102607673081949 my response: https://x.com/davidtphung/status/1918148015598239865
