Exempting USMCA-compliant auto imports from tariffs would lessen the impact of Trump's trade war, sparing ~$122B in imports (~$170B if parts are exempted) But it just highlights the ridiculousness of this whole endeavor—why exempt cars but not oil, tomatoes, computers, etc etc?

Canada should just start emulating US bourbon at scale and call it that. US law protects the name “bourbon,” as an America-made booze; and so does our Spirit Drinks Trade Act. Who cares? Stop enforcing the law. Repeal it. Let the Golden Era of Great Canadian Bourbon begin! t.co/hV3a08iefO

I’m an American who moved to Canada and naturalized many years ago, and what she describes has been the wildest and saddest thing to watch. People I love, who I know to be good, empathetic people, simply cannot recognize Canada as an independent country with its own agency.

Elon Musk is dust. One day his time will be up, and all the money on earth will not purchase him one hour more. Donald Trump is dust. One day you will look for news about him and not find any. I am dust. One day my beehives will stand untended, my armchair will be empty. Only God remains.

I’ve had my real criticisms and disappointments regarding Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Prime Minister, as well as my compliments. But he’s done far more for Canada in the last month and days than Pierre Poilievre has done in his entire political career (which is the only career Pierre’s had).

this makes them seem abysmally stupid to many, but it’s actually deeply cynical & effective propaganda—they don’t care it's wrong, because while we correct & mock it, it scored its point last night & gets repeated in false controversy like they’re-eating-the-cats&dogs & achieves the intended harm

Anyway Christian Nationalists used to worship America as an idol, but that's not good enough for Trump anymore. He's positioning himself as the idol, the messiah, as God. Watch as the iconography shifts to reflect Trump and Trump alone, and America itself is sidelined. #trumpspeech

If one was a true believer, this perverse authoritarian display is a spectacle of national joy. A renaissance. This has the vibe of a religious revival. The lame walk, the blind see. He’s the Messiah. MAGA, behold your King.

Something events like this show is how funny Trump is to his followers. It’s a demeaning humor at the expense of the vulnerable, but the sycophants just eat it up. It’s not all rage. It’s fun to be politically incorrect and to sneer at earnestness.

Cyberpunk got so much right. But one thing it got wrong was "in the future, corporations are the muscular power that shapes reality, and states are nearly irrelevant." On the contrary, tech corporations prove incredibly ductile — falling over themselves with eagerness to propitiate state power.

I’ve just learned of Dr. Martin E. Marty’s passing. He was a towering figure in the historical and theological fields in which I comparatively dabble. In 2018, I informally met Marty during a reception at Norte Dame in honour of another legend, still alive and publishing, Dr. Mark Noll.
