US businesses brace for Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China to drive up costs

“Sbragia voted for Trump in the past three elections and calls himself a “staunch Republican.” The president, he said, must not have been properly advised on the matter.”

Right. That must be the problem.

all that coding I did yesterday and today? a colossal failure. and today’s snowfall?? coming down sideways.

fook me… today I’m just gonna cook some soup, smoke a few pipes, remember my dead friend, and contemplate the incredible strain of irrationality which has seized contemporary American society.

Meanwhile, far from Earth:

These "little red dots" initially looked like impossibly massive galaxies in the early universe. New JWST observations show they're actually a hidden population of ravenous black holes.

The universe isn't impossible. Just really weird!

• A team of astronomers sifted through James Webb Space Telescope data from multiple surveys to compile one of the largest samples of “little red dots” (LRDs) to date. The team started with the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey before widening their scope to other extragalactic legacy fields, including the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) and the Next Generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public (NGDEEP) survey. From their sample, they found that these mysterious red objects that appear small on the sky emerge in large numbers around 600 million years after the big bang and undergo a rapid decline in quantity around 1.5 billion years after the big bang. Spectroscopic data of some of the LRDs in their sample, provided by the Red Unknowns: Bright Infrared Extragalactic Survey (RUBIES), suggests that many are accreting black holes. However, further study of these intriguing objects is required.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

Last night I made a Signal group chat for omg.lol just for the fun of it. Didn’t really know what to expect, but a whole bunch of people showed up! And it’s been super fun! Here’s a link in case you missed it: https://signal.group/#CjQKIIfzn_XpQ7EjrJBy6ixplOqgIEpdeT4GU0DWVnJx3fL_EhC_VenfYkc2h7o-CYCpoYKZ

Because of Signal’s excellent end-to-end encryption, you won’t see any of the chat from prior to when you joined. So that might make it seem weird or mysterious, but it’s really no different than when you walk into a party that’s been going on for a little while. 😄

i think i've said this before on here but i always think about an old ceramics teacher who insisted on any vessel that could potentially hold food, to be food safe since ceramic items can last for such a long time no one in the future will know if its toxic to eat from. these things stick around, some for loooong after anyone we know is gone. i also think about the kind of care to think of someone that far into the future. i think a lot of us here are thinking of those far off folks alongside ourselves and wanting better for both, i hope we can get that, and ensure it for them

If someone with no formal reason to have it had accessed your social security number and other personal and financial information, that would usually be called a data breach. You know, the kind of thing needing notification, credit monitoring, changing accounts and passwords.

A bunch of goons working for Musk just did that to every single American. Who are they? Where’d the data go? How is it stored? How is it used?

Robbing the information bank by walking in the front door. Insane.

‘“The most common refrain I’m hearing from people who have left but are still talking to people on the inside is: ‘I knew it was going to be bad but I didn’t think it was going to be this bad,’” said Mark Bergman, a veteran Democratic lawyer who has been in contact with some of those who fear being targets of the retribution Trump repeatedly vowed on the campaign trail.’

The point about DEI is that it's *how* you hire the best. It's not a charitable endeavour, it's a tool to stop your workplaces being dominated by mediocre people from the same background who know how to game the system.

But as far I can see, nobody is even making that argument. The worst thing about attacking DEI seems to be that it's vulgar. God it's bleak

It also seems worth mentioning that if I do block you, you should rest assured that it's because you've WON. I only block people when I'm so intimidated by their superior intellect, charm, and good looks that their very presence in my feed causes me existential fear of my own inadequacy. And it would be unfair to the world to allow you to waste your far more valuable time being distracted by someone as insignificant and weak as the likes of me. So we all win, in a way.
