Apple has its biggest stock drop in five years because of Trump’s tariffs. Amazon and Meta shares are down about 7 percent. www.theverge.com/news/642598/...

Suzanne Humphries has been in the anti-vaccine game for at least 15 years before she talked to Joe Rogan last week. You’d think with all that time, her claims would be harder to debunk. But they’re so unhinged that she makes it easy. m.youtube.com/watch?v=M9xb...

"And as two apolitical Russian citizens, flank the American actress Mikey Madison at award show after award show, it’s hard not to see that this, too, promotes a notion of Russia as our complicated but palatable partner. A gray actor, if you will." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

"Durante décadas, nadie rindió cuentas por los asesinatos y las desapariciones forzadas a manos de la junta militar. La película protagonizada por Fernanda Torres podría estar cambiando la situación." www.nytimes.com/es/2025/03/0...

This piece in the @newyorker.com is amazing, but the title is really bad www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I hurt my back lifting weights. Does than mean I'm old? I feel old...

What an amazing piece: "Succession was gearing up for its third season: All the fictionalized on-screen scheming led to conjecture in the press about real-life scheming among the Murdochs, which seemed in turn to induce higher levels of paranoia within the family" www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I'm really happy to not be in the US today -- I frankly don't get the #SuperBowl vibes.

Incredible referencing guide for Google StreetView, and therefore for geolocation in general: license plates, sign posts, types of bollards, roof tiles, etc. Thanks @aric.bsky.social for sharing. plonkit.net/guide

I had a really long chat yesterday with a former Democract who know believes in Trump because of how the Democrats handled the Covid vaccine mandate. She started listening to Joe Rogan back in the pandemic. It was eye opening. There’s so many more convos to be had.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This so cool 😍

DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say. For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story. Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

😂😂😂

“PCLOB is an important-if-low-profile independent agency tasked with oversight of anti-terrorism matters too sensitive for public review.” Trump got rid of it too www.techpolicy.press/surveillance...
