I’ve finally finished the Hornet, from the video game, Hollow Knight, as a special request from my son. :) She’s quite adorable.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

Leeja Miller noted four vulnerable groups in the US, those who immediately need to leave, those who should be prepared, those who may be targeted in the future, and those who are safe. A main determinant is bodily harm. This violent targeting of a Jewish democratic governor is concerning.

This is a really good analysis of possible reasoning behind Trump’s strategies. I’m currently at the “Reverse Kissinger” and it makes a bit of sense but I think it’s too late. Ukraine captured Chinese soldiers, indicating that the China-Russia military alliance persists. youtu.be/cVB2o1rNhPg?...

The US was the mean girl, using trade agreements with others to edge out China from a lot of essential trade partnerships. Then the US became a super bitch to everyone, and now China’s the popular girl, ostracizing the US by partnering with those same countries. youtube.com/watch?v=aTfV...

Very cool that Ford followed through. But given how much it’s hurting Ontario (the steel, aluminum and car tariffs), I think they should have kept the surcharge on because that would expedite and increase the urgency of dropping the tariffs against Canada, for each day it’s delayed.
