tag, not repeated in the body. Also, keep all images in their places. Add humor and sarcasm throughout. First, the original title is “A new bipartisan bill wants to ensure the next century of tech is written in America.” Needs to be clickbaity and short. Maybe something like “Congress Finally Notices Tech Exists: New Bill Promises to Not Totally Screw Up Blockchain This Time” – check character count. That’s 99 characters. Perfect. Now, the body. Start with the image tag as is. Then the first paragraph: Original talks about a “small but significant step.” Tina Fey might downplay Congress’s effort with sarcasm, like “Wow, Congress is doing something? Break out the confetti cannons and rewrite the Constitution!” Next paragraphs about the bill’s principle. Maybe mock the timing, like “As America gears up to celebrate 250 years…” then contrast with “We’ve mastered the art of reinvention, mostly by panicking every time a teenager invents something we don’t understand.” When discussing infrastructure, compare past canals and railroads to coding, adding humor like “Today’s infrastructure is written in code, which is just Latin for ‘we forgot to document this, good luck.'” Developers as architects: “Unlike actual architects, these developers don’t need blueprints… just caffeine and existential dread.” Solana example: “Solana’s ecosystem is booming! Growth of 84%… probably because their PR team is really good at math.” Sarcastic jab at growth metrics. Talking about regulation: “Developers don’t want chaos… they want rules that don’t make them Google legal jargon for three hours only to realize they’re criminals.” Relatable humor about legal confusion. SEC shift: “The SEC is trying to be less ‘gotcha’ and more ‘let’s talk’… revolutionary, I know.” Historical parallels: “Early internet was a Wild West… which worked out great! (Except for the part where we all became addicted to our phones.)” Self-aware humor on tech downsides. Founders’ intent: “America’s founders were basically the original hackers… They’d definitely have a GitHub account and 17 patents.” Modern twist on historical figures. End with the choice being made now, using phrases like “We can either lead the future or become the country that’s really good at nostalgia.” Contrasting innovation with nostalgia for comedic effect. Throughout, ensure all images are retained, no tags, no colors. Keep paragraphs concise with Tina’s punchy style. Check for sarcasm and humor in each section, making sure it’s consistent without overdoing it. Make sure title is only in and not as a header. Done.End of Thought (22.12s) Congress Finally Notices Tech Exists: New Bill Promises to Not Totally Screw Up Blockchain This Time On Thursday, Congress did the equivalent of remembering that Wi-Fi is a thing. Bipartisan legislation-the Promoting Innovation in Blockchain Development Act of 2026-aims to stop federal agents from raiding your apartment because you wrote code that accidentally looked like money laundering. Groundbreaking stuff, really. Who knew “not criminalizing basic computer skills” was a radical concept? Look, it’s one bill. But it’s the kind of bill that screams, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t chase away the people building the future!” Just saying. As America gears up to celebrate its 250th birthday this July, we’re all about nostalgia-fireworks, hot dogs, pretending we invented pizza. But let’s be real: This country thrives when we’re not busy tripping over our own history books. Past eras of canals, railroads, and dial-up internet succeeded because we embraced chaos. Now we’ve got software developers, the modern-day pioneers, who’d rather work in Estonia than Texas if the Wi-Fi’s faster and the lawyers are chill. Today’s infrastructure isn’t made of steel; it’s made of code. And unlike, say, the Brooklyn Bridge, this stuff can be written in a Starbucks line. Software developers are out here shaping economies, markets, and our collective dopamine receptors-yet half of them are one IRS audit away from becoming crypto refugees. Wild. Take Solana, for example. Their developer community grew 84% last year, which is either a sign of genius or a Ponzi scheme with better PR. Either way, it’s proof that builders flock to places where the government doesn’t act like blockchain is a sexually transmitted disease. Globally, nations are rolling out red carpets for coders: “Come one, come all! Our regulators wear socks with sandals and never say ‘decentralized’ with a straight face!” Meanwhile, the U.S. is just now learning how to not sound like a confused grandparent at a Blockbuster. Baby steps! The SEC, bless its heart, is trying to pivot from “Gotcha!” to “Let’s chat!” under new leadership. Groundbreaking. Developers don’t want zero rules-they want regulations that don’t require a law degree and a Ouija board to interpret. Imagine that! History repeats: Railroads, airplanes, the microwave. We let innovation happen first, then argued about it over bourbon. Turns out, that’s how you become a global leader! Who knew? The question isn’t whether code will shape the future. It already is. The question is: Do we want to host the party or just show up late, eat all the snacks, and complain about the music? America’s founders were basically the OG disruptors. They’d be thrilled to know we’re now debating whether to jail people for writing Python. Let’s fix that. The next century’s code is being written as we speak-let’s make sure it’s not written elsewhere because we were too busy being weird about it. In conclusion: Be less scary, Congress. Be more “we got this.” Or don’t. See you in the 22nd century!
