did this thing where I looked up some books on Amazon, checked the reviews, put them in my shopping cart and then went to our local bookstore and bought them there

Germany right now feels like everyone is waiting for the new government to either make things better or fuck up or kinda muddle through Meanwhile, pollsters are asking the exact same question every single day until a majority of the people is like "yeah, fuck it, I guess the fascist AfD it is then"

I really like the Bolero. And I really don't. It's quite peculiar in that way.

This strategy is deluded. Tell the media you want to do deals with allies that would force them to cut China out of supply chains... just so you can do a big deal with China. So they expect others to sabotage their own trade policies, just so Trump can cut a grand bargain with Xi

Well said! The enemies learn history because they want to go back to the past. The friends don't because they take the present for granted. Depressing.

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

Our Secretary of EDUCATION! U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon attended a Summit, where experts in education and technology gathered to discuss how AI will impact learning. While speaking on a panel about AI in the workforce, McMahon repeatedly referred to AI as “A1,” like the steak sauce.

Trump acknowledges that he can be forced to reverse course through playing the bond market. So much art of the deal going on here.

So what's Ray Dalio going to do about his prediction now? A new world order? Or just Trump fucking around?

Listen to the start of this. The grovelling sycophant meeting Trump: “You got the markets seeing your brilliance”. This is the most catastrophically dangerous thing happening right now.

Am I the only one who thinks that some people around Trump probably made A LOT of money from this bullshit?

Nothing has prepared you to live under Trump 2 as much as growing up in 1980s/90s Latin America. It was exactly like that! The sudden announcements changing everything, the overwhelming uncertainty, the sheer vertigo and whiplash. Plus, the sense that democracy is fragile and could collapse...

Has anyone likened the present state of America to a bus where the driver has decided to play a game of chicken with a bunch of other vehicles?

Billionaire investor and major Trump supporter Bill Ackman: “We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital…” “We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter..” Much more in screenshots.

Salute to all of the geniuses in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street, and in media c-suites who convinced themselves that what the USA needed was an autocrat CEO — and that Donald Trump was that executive. Brilliant, sirs. Just brilliant.

"Ich will jetzt nicht dokumentieren, was die sich da ausdenken, aber ich glaube, bestimmte Dinge, die vielleicht im Wahlkampf und in der letzten Legislatur noch, sagen wir mal, kontroverser diskutiert wurden, werden jetzt immer wichtiger, nämlich strategische Investitionen in die eigene Wirtschaft."

Es hatte seinen guten Sinn, jeder neuen Regierung 100 Tage zu geben, ehe man anfing, ihre Arbeit zu beurteilen. Der heutige Sofortismus kritisiert Schnipsel aus noch nicht abgeschlossenen Koalitionsverhandlungen und dann wundert man sich, dass von der verbreiteten schlechten Laune die AfD profitiert

Germany is the second largest producer of EVs in the world - it would be rather self-defeating to pull back now and cling to the ICEs of the past even if taking on China will be tough.

Elon and Donald retweeting such ridiculous BS idolatry by shameless sycophants shows how deeply damaged and needy they both are. So embarrassing.

Repulsive video attacking Taiwan president Lai Ching-te, produced by the Eastern Theater Command of the PLA. Be good to see some democratic solidarity from the region in response.

Still not over this ridiculous Chinese car propaganda video where the German cars have a hard suspension and the Chinese car has a soft suspension, and when they drive over bumps in the road the German cars shake a lot and the Chinese car doesn't, hallelujah!

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
