I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

‪The Trump clan reminds me of the Bluth family in Arrested Development (without Michael). But while the Bluths are eccentric, you can still find them likeable or feel pity for what happens to them.
As in the TV show, the plot is getting more and more absurd with each season.

Die Algorithmen auf Twitter sind irre. Ich habe einen Tweet über Musk als Diablo-Spieler (20 Mio. Views!) kritisch kommentiert und mich gewundert, wieso kein Widerspruch kam. Lag wohl an den 15 (!) Views meines Kommentars nach 24 Stunden.

Have to say I’m impressed with what Bluesky has become. Will now use it more for interaction than Twitter. Won’t close my account there, as it’s still useful to get news out. However, this is a better place

There’s a lot of Democrat finger pointing right now (“wokeness” “forgetting the working class” “embracing republicans” “too many consultants”) but in my mind, all of their reasons pale in comparison to their loss in the disinformation war.

Bin jetzt seit ein paar Tagen hier. Ein paar Beobachtungen: statt einer Zeitfresser-App nutze ich aktuell eben zwei. Nacheinander. Wäre schön, wenn alle, denen ich gerne auf X folge, auch hier wären, dann könnte ich X löschen. Ist aber nicht so.
„Discover“ nervt ähnlich wie „Für dich“ auf X … 1/x
