The idea of ownership in space is so absurd that it ultimately might be the thing that lifts the smokescreen on power, privilege and entitlement for the masses at home, and kills off the way proprietary rights are administered on earth. Weell... perhaps not; I've lost some faith in the human spirit.

Sign o' the Times: Experts in Norway warn against buying U.S. Constellation-class frigates, citing high crew demands, delays, limited strategic cooperation and uncertain U.S. security guarantees under Trump. Alternatives from Europe are seen as more reliable and better aligned with Norwegian needs.

It feels like this is massively undercommunicated today. Relying on collective amnesia is a part of Trump's "strategy" that seems to be working just fine.

You can say a lot about China, but if I'm honest it feels like financial markets in the rest of the world are riding on a wave formed by China's determined response to Trump's tariffs right now. I think we'd be kidding ourselves if we thought there was another reason for Trump's sudden turnaround.

The most annoying thing right now is that politicians and pundits take the positive news as a flicker of sense and rationality. Tosh. The situation remains the same: Here's a guy who will continue to gamble with people's lives and safety at will. He mocked your subservience less than 24 hours ago!

I don't know if this is real. But I got a good belly laugh, so I'm posting it – it's good to know that "Idiocracy" would probably still make me laugh in 2025.

I can sort of wrap my head around a narcissistic person. What I'll never get is that people will subordinate themselves to this kind of personal vanity at the cost of their dignity; the laughing audience, the consensual congregation cheering one man's deranged dream, the self-tormenting voters, ugh.

This behaviour is vile beyond imagination. For now, all with the means should follow China's example. "The president went on to mock the tariff-deal supplicants, pretending to be them as he pitifully pleaded in a simpering voice: “Please, Sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything. I’ll do anything, Sir.”"

Hooly crap, things move fast. A word from Trump (opening for potential 90 day break on tariffs, except China) and everything turns green. Just as the Norwegian stock exchange closes for the day, so a short breather here, at least.

A historical resonance to these numbers. Imagine viewing yourself as some sort of messianic business guru, and now and forevermore having your name attached to one of the biggest crashes in history. Even a few blue-collar jobs gained in a massively ineffectual market will never change that.

All this for the delirious hard-Fordist dream of a 78-year old born with golden slippers to force average Americans back to industrial slavery and assembly lines that don't exist anymore. The world's fuming. But I'm doubly annoyed that some seem to think appeasement will keep his grubby hands away.

This gets to me. One of the shittiest things about the new U.S. administration is that the whole world is now discussing the psyche of a man-child with dangerous toys and negotiating with folly rather than facing the true horror and evil of Putin's and Netanyahu's sadistic warfare.

Russia's daily strikes on peaceful Ukrainian cities are pure terror. These strikes have no military objectives whatsoever. Killing children on a playground is a war crime and terrorism on the part of Russia; it cannot be seen in any other way. Putin is an international criminal and a terrorist⤵️

In Norway, and I assume many other countries, there's a lot of talk about reaching out to negotiate with the U.S. to lower the tariffs. Every instinct tells me this is wrong and dangerous. What they want is submission, and we should never give them the pleasure. Do not bow to this wannabe king!

For Americans who didn’t get the joy of living through the Truss/Kwarteng budget, this is the point where the government starts to call the stock market left-wing and/or woke.

Yes! The whole world wants the U.S. to win this without a fight, so I'm sure everyone will put down their financial guns and sing "America the Beautiful." You just declared war on every single country in the world apart from Russia, Belarus, North Korea and... Cuba?? Dunce.

One of the odd dynamics here is that the market reaction will probably be muted, as Arieh says, because traders aren't sure this will stick. And yet the muted reaction makes it more likely they'll stick, at least until real damage is done.

Neil Young: "[...] if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor [...]" Now that would be a headline! I hope artists still talk about Donald Trump, though. Potent resistance movements need hard-hitting art.

Save your energy. It's futile to point out the double standards and fallacies we see every day. You can't teach moral principles and judicial doctrine to people who protect their ignorance by jumping to conclusions rather than analyzing the facts. It's like trying to explain metaphysics to your cat.
