Okay, hear me out: the reason the second Trump Administration is slashing scientific research is to prevent the arrival of the time traveler who prevented the first Trump Administration.

Bartiromo: "We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs number for the month of June. The expectations call for the numbers to be up 95,000. Right now seeing the number -- actually, uh, showing a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000, uh."

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Steel production is relatively small slice of the American economy.
Steel itself? *Very widely used throughout the American economy.
See the problem?
(I mean, see the problem beyond the entire global economy being held hostage to the whims of one guy who doesn’t understand the economy?)

Why is the sound mixing SO terrible on #Eurovision — a music competition??? Shouldn’t the vocal tracks be louder than the music tracks or at least the crowd??? Can an #audioengineer make a house call in Switzerland before Saturday’s finale?
