We're clearly in the "First they came for trans people" stage of this madness

I regret that I can only quote post this once.

I hate these bastards in Silicon Valley so much for what they've done to the idea of tech. The idea that we as a collective people could work together to improve our lives through ingenuity, collaboration, and determination. Instead, it's become a ponzi scheme based on the idea of line goes up.

So far Freeland opened by calling Trump the “greatest threat to Canada since the Second World War”.

I really appreciate requiring our leadership to be fluently bilingual. It’s an important acknowledgement of our multicultural reality. Also it’s fascinating how some candidates “sound” so different in French than in English. Maybe it’s just harder to spin in a non-native language?

Any other year (at least since 1933) I’d be a little bummed to see the CDU pick up so many seats in Germany. But hey…. congratulations on the not-fascism?

Python has learned a lot from the JavaScript ecosystem, including optional type hints, async concurrency, and the absolute worst dependency management system imaginable.

I’m sure it’s a coincidence that the only cybertruck driver in cayman was just caught on film in a racist road rage incident beating up and hurling slurs at a minor: www.reddit.com/r/CaymanIsla... Initially he told the police he was attacked and got the teen arrested.

Nursing a take that the major Silicon Valley firms can be understood as organized crime syndicates and perform some of the same functions as the old ones used to — money laundering, feeding addictions, skirting regulations, political influence.

I definitely feel I'm Jokerfying. You look one way and you've got 4 different Beavis-Snokes deleting every third grandpa from social security and in the other it's an economy currently hinging on the success of the least profitable software product of all time that is also destroying the earth.

If there are no more internal corruption controls, and civil servants are no longer being paid, is the US just moving intentionally to a bribery-based system?

I’m just looking forward to the China response. Canada and Mexico have nothing on a 20T$ _managed_ economy. Xi controls that system down to the price of paperclips, and has twenty years worth of foreign reserves to burn off.

MEXICO ANNOUNCES RETALIATORY TARIFFS AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. Here is a translation of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's statement:

I’m not the biggest Trudeau fan, looking forward to Carney. But he’s killing this press conference.

Wow, Trudeau just dropped a bombshell that Trump hasn’t taken his call yet since being elected. That’s a stunning snub. Historic.

Trudeau is emphasizing that we’re working together with Mexico. Asks Canadians to support each other and respond in solidarity. We are diverse in our origins but united in difficulty. (Sounded better in French.)

Canadian response: 25% tariff on 155B$ worth of US imports. Staged slowly to give Canadians time to respond. Targeted for maximum impact.

Canadian response will be live here, any minute now. Share quickly! www.youtube.com/live/PnvyrKv...

Another option: Canada should immediately require any American product to be labeled as such in stores. This isn’t even a tariff, just consumer guidance. Let Canadians handle it from there.

Trudeau to address the nation about the tariffs at 8:30. Looks like a combined response with Mexico.

Canada needs to respond by sanctioning the US tech industry. 25% tariffs on advertising on Facebook, 100% on X. Hit ‘em in the oligarchs.

It’s usually hard to “win” a trade war. Usually there are no victors. But when the opposing nation isn’t bothering to even aim or measure their opening salvo, and you’re ready with a targeted punitive response, you’re off to a good start. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Objectively funny they're slapping a 50% tariff on the country where we get 57% of our imported roses from 2 weeks before Valentine's Day.
