Trump should just put a 100% tariff on the AI bubble. Tariffs fix everything

NightMar on Hicks Street, Part 4: The Rabbit’s Revenge @histoftech.bsky.social · 1d

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Bank of England Warns of Impending AI Disaster

The Bank of England has sounded the alarm, warning of an intensifying risk of a "sudden correction" due to an AI spending frenzy.

Turning a battleship is such a great metaphor but one I feel people don't really understand viscerally so let's do a little mental exercise. We've all seen a semi turning right, yes? We can remember that?

Angus Johnston @angus.bsky.social · 23h

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 23h

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Also love how some people who just wanted to talk about their hobbies had to take a course in tariffs, manufacturing chains, etc because some assholes were "tired of everything being political". Yeah buddy, now your big titty figurine nobody real was bothered by is $120 instead of $70, well played.

You know, it's super amazing to be a small business launching a physical prduct in an environment where one orange asswipe can suddenly tweet out "I'm jerkin off on main, 100% tariffs so I can climax" and you have to scramble to see if your costs are going to increase as a result of that.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

As I've said before, FDA recalls are broad for even the suspicion of contamination. This is what they're supposed to do and it's a thankless task. The goal isn't to terrify people, but you need those things off the shelf.

I'm glad Paris put this round up together for folks. Been waiting for it.

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging

little did i know it would lead me to an underreported industrial accident that may have released an airborne plume of radioactive debris over swaths of indonesia

Honestly if you're feeling sad go dig out videos of portland protesters doing the cha cha slide.

do they have rhythm? no

Could they find the beat even if it was handed to them? also no

It's still nice.

Do you carry documents that prove your citizenship everywhere you go? Cause I sure the fuck don't, and to do it would need to carry birth certificate, previous marriage certificate, and name change order to prove the man on my ID is the baby girl on my birth certificate.

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
