The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Let’s just check in with the United States federal government for a moment… - Republicans in power ✅ - Not very bright guys ✅ - Things getting out of hand ✅ Okay, looks like business as usual, carry on.

The truly infuriating thing is that all these stupid fuckers had to do was NOTHING. Just sit back and enjoy the Biden recovery like Republican presidents have always done. Embrace the 无为 of restful inaction and let the economy do its thing. But nooo. “Let’s trash the global economy to own the libs!”

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

"Hvis bare man havde givet Hitler endnu flere indrømmelser i München i 1938, kunne man have undgået Anden Verdenskrig" er da… en holdning, man kan have, lad os sige det sådan. 🙃 #dkpol #historie www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

I think there’s an obvious opportunity here for the European left to rediscover the legacy of Altiero Spinelli and adopt European federalism as their new grand project against both the disintegrationist far right and whatever the hell is going on in the US. I’m not sure I’ll hold my breath, though.

As a general principle, no one outside an exceedingly small group of people should ever have to think about the payment systems of their country's finance ministry, and if you find you do have to think about the payment systems of your country's finance ministry, something is going very, very wrong.

To be honest I wouldn’t have thought it’d be this easy for a handful of not very bright guys to just walk in and take over the United States federal government.

I suppose the one saving grace here is that the Pentagon, one of the world’s largest and most arcane bureaucracies, is going to take Pete #Hegseth, a deeply unserious person who’s never run anything larger than an infantry platoon, and eat him alive. Bureaucratically speaking, or maybe literally.

Guys it wasn't a Nazi salute. Does he retweet a bunch of Nazis all the time? Yes. Is he currently serving under a President who openly courts Nazis? Sure. Were there Nazis in the crowd? There were.
