China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

The Chinese are also winning the Communication War big time. This is just one in a series.

Trump exempting computers & phones from the tariffs today means that Chinese-made laptops now have lower tariffs than European Cars, Mexican Steel, & Canadian Lumber. Also means Vietnamese-made laptops have a lower tariff than Ethiopian coffee, Indian tea, & Guatemalan bananas

The devaluation of the dollar and spike in bond yields are 100% why Trump paused the tariffs and is soft-pedaling the idea of an indefinite pause. Someone finally explained to him what would happen if he went through with it and the thing is it is too late to undo. It cannot be undone.

Best case he turns off Apr 2nd tariffs Monday. Leaves the 10pct tariffs (not great, but realistic). Elon leaves Doge, which decides to stagger the cuts over 3 yrs, accounting for local impact. That slows the economy, reducing interest rates, reducing payments on debt to affordable levels.

If our democracy dies, this is its epitaph

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

My fiancé is among those impacted by layoffs. After two years on a team he loved at Block, he’s now looking for his next opportunity. If you know of any openings in Developer Relations or Frontend Development, please send them my way. Thank you 🫶🏾

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

FED UP WITH FACEBOOK ADS? COPY AND PASTE THIS INTO YOUR POST TO DECLARE YOU DON'T WANT THEM AND THEY WILL DISAPPEAR FOREVER HONEST I HEREBY DECLARE IM A GULLIBLE IDIOT BY COPYING AND PASTING THIS EVEN THOUGH I DID THIS BEFORE AND IT DIDN'T WORK IT'S SURE TO WORK THIS TIME AROUND

Are we all done supporting FOTUS? Are we still confused about what he’s doing to our children and families? If you are still holding out for hope that he is your savior, get out of the way so the rest of us can take back our country, take out the trash, and clean up the mess. #MomSky #FightFascism

Vatican spokesperson says the Pope is recovering well from injuries sustained in his first MMA match and “can’t wait to get back in the ring”

I don't understand my friends who don't want to leave X because "yes, Melon destabilized the world, but I have 300 followers." I lost 75,000 followers, and that's a small sacrifice when an information-sharing tool has become a tool for controlling information, benefiting authoritarian governments.

I’m calling for a complete and total shutdown on this final season of America: The Magalorian until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

The main difference between Musk and Hitler is that the volkswagen was a reliable, reasonably priced vehicle.
