I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

Wild that media treats Trump’s tariff meltdown as something of any meaning beyond bribery, corruption and mad egomania. Markets rallied because they were on their arse. There’s nothing resembling credibility about any of this. A throwing-things, pant-wetting tantrum in the middle of a supermarket.

One possible upside of the Trump tariff lunacy is how he’s megaphoned to the world that making any deal with him would be truly insane. Unless you’re prepared to ‘kiss ass’ and betray your own interests, only for him to randomly change his mind. If you want red lines, that’s where they should be.

@danirabaiotti.bsky.social had a huge role in bringing scientists over in the very early days of Bluesky. She & @bossett.social created the Science Feed and both deserve much praise for their time and hard work! @katharinehayhoe.com also brought over many scientists and helped people connect! 🧪

Last week, after nearly 17 years on the job, I resigned from the FBI. I saw the threat Donald Trump and Kash Patel are to American safety and security and I couldn’t stand idly by any more. See my full resignation letter below. open.substack.com/pub/fbisulli...

So now that the EU is on the same 10% tariff as the UK, could we please hear from all those who tried to portray the previous scenario as a 'Brexit benefit'...

Feeling quite sorry for the US customs officials who presumably are going to have to keep up with and enforce these tariffs that change every few hours on the whim of a mad king.
