Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

I’ve written a lot of things in the past decade but this list of tips on reading more books is the thing I continue to get the most messages about—a strong case for the importance of service journalism!
My number one New Year’s resolution is to basically live by this @knguyen.bsky.social article about how to read more books — especially replacing all my aimless scrolling with reading a few pages. (I will not be replacing podcasts, though. Podcasts rule.)
How to Read a Whole Damn Book Every Week
It may sound difficult, but the secret to reading a book every week is to not be precious about it.

Grateful for the love of relations near and far and my ancestors’ embrace. I made soon dubu chigae with mushrooms foraged by my friend and her mom in the Pacific Northwest mountains. Thank you to this land on which I’m a guest for nourishing me. Gentleness and warmth to all these final days of 2024.

My little one is learning to make clay vessels with coils. The figurine is because sometimes a candy dish needs a helper. 😊

Essential reading from @antonhur.com.
I liveskyed the 2024 Martial Law Declaration of Korea.
This is the thread.
This is the thread.
According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now.
We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.
