Did the US actually get China, Japan, and the US to band together?
Japan, South Korea, and China just agreed to coordinate tariff responses. This country is about to reap exactly what it sowed.
So yeah, Nintendo's gonna cost more. So is basically everything else.
Did you think our months of shouting about direct economic consequences were an abstraction?

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Bell Hooks’ book finally came in on Libby. Held onto it for 20 days. Listened to half of it in a day. Turned out to not be depressing like I was worried and instead super engrossing. Hold expired. 10 week wait!
Sigh! Hello consequences of my own (in)actions.

OMG yes! This is exactly how I feel about so many uses of AI recently.
Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

Voight-Kampf’s really been revised and apparently I no longer pass.
Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.

It’s interesting to see how much American “foreign” aid went to enriching American subcontractors and consultants.
Not saying that’s necessarily bad, just that stopping USAID is really shooting oneself in one’s own foot.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.
- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.
The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses
U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.
