My Trade Secrets today. Trump going ahead with steel tariffs is obvs @robarmstrong.bsky.social's fault for the "TACO" trade needling. I posit TABASCO (Trump Angry Because Armstrong Said "Chickens Out") as the new paradigm. (Also, Trump's broad powers over tariffs & taxes are far worse than steel.)

“Shameless self-promoting grifter.” “She’s completely shameless,” said @jemima.bsky.social of the lying lingerie entrepreneur and Tory baroness, Michelle Mone, “and if you have no shame, you can get quite far.”

Very interesting column from @sarahoconnorft.ft.com. I'd love to see whether the same rule applies across "experts" in other fields... would people also put more faith in a "high-ability" female psychologist than a male one? Historian? Political scientist? on.ft.com/4k6eVWl [gift link!]

A really joyful chart here for you to take into your weekends, courtesy of Sean Monahan (the guy who came up with "vibe shift"). I particularly like how the "death of the West" is presented as "divine" - someone needs to tell Liz Truss what she's up against www.8ball.report/p/all-the-en...
