If we don't study history, we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Literally the opposite of what the president said is true. High tariffs CAUSED the Great Depression.
This is embarrassing.

I’m losing my mind on tariffs. We spent 90 years systematically dismantling protectionism (GATT, WTO, NAFTA) and a mad king exercising *extremely* dubious delegated authority just set us back a century by fiat.

As someone who is Christian it boggles my mind how many who claim to be ones lack any kind of compassion. It’s like people don’t read the Bible or look into what Jesus actually preached and just believe in these assholes. It’s exhausting.

My newsletter tomorrow is called, “Why Jesus wouldn’t be seen as a “real man” or a “Christian leader” today.”
In it, I reflect on recent events through the lens of Jesus and offer encouragement to remain vigilant to the way of love.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

D&D players/DMs on Reddit are complaining about the numerous janky compromises in the newest Monster Manual, complaining about 5e's "hidden abilities" on monsters with spellcasting abilities, and independently re-inventing 4e with suggestions like "just write out the important spells as abilities".

I can't even describe the amount of distress I'm feeling about the state of our country and even the world. I feel absolutely powerless to do anything about it because I am.
I have as much political sway as a Democrat US Senator, which amounts to:
"Somebody should do something! [send tweet]"

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Thing about Jimmy Carter that really shines through in his writing etc is how devoutly committed he was to a morally coherent version of evangelical Christianity that literally no longer exists.

Musk and Trump both have such bullshitter energy, but while Trump has the cadence of a rambling doofus, a cornered Musk immediately becomes the wannabe hero of a space opera. “We’re under attack. Diverting energy to forward shield,” etc.

![The transcript of this really is wild:
(For context: lan Brown is Performance
Engineering Manager at Netflix and was a Senior Engineering Manager at Twitter for nearly 9 years)
Elon Musk: I mean, I think frankly, if you want to have a really high velocity of features, I think we'll just need to doa, a total rewrite of the whole thing. Um, you know?
lan Brown: Um, wait, seriously: a total rewrite?
That's your prediction for [improving Twitter's] velocity?
Elon: Yeah.
George Hotz: Well, when you say a "total rewrite," do you mean starting with the skeleton? Or a bunch of engineers sit down with a whiteboard and say, "what is Twitter?"
Elon: Um....
George: Revolution or reform?
Elon: 1, I mean, I just mean like lit, literally. Like there's, there's the, like you could either try to, uh, amend the, the, the crazy stack that exists or, um, rewrite it.
lan: When you say "crazy stack," what do you mean? Like, break it down.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f423oluqwkacexrk4q3tuu4r/bafkreihdl2vv5fjoyw5bw7w7c5at7u5xm3jeemdhe7ych5qoj6j5445swq@jpeg)

Everything in the right wing is about selling you on a false hope and then luring you into a life of misery. Everything in the various subcultures they have created is designed to isolate you into that subculture and make the misery it inflicts on you your identity. 🧵

"If you look at Jonah you’ll find that the ‘whale’…is quite unimportant. The real point is that God is much more merciful than ‘prophets,’ is easily moved by penitence, and won’t be dictated to even by high ecclesiastics whom he has himself appointed."
