Probably won't make any difference, but Apple's decision is genuinely disappointing, especially after already knuckling under on the Gulf of Mexico.

Again, this is newsworthy, but only because it shows (1) the deeply unpopular President of the United States is badly out of touch with the actual concerns of voters and (2) he is also quite fucking insane.
Trump says he might change the names of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans next

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded.

Exactly. It's now treated as normal that the American president does not pause for a single second to consider the impact that his actions will have on countless Americans. Everything is about sating his crazed vendettas and nothing more. The whole world must bend itself around that.
Trump cannot see beyond his incessant need for vengeance. Do you imagine he even considered the impact on the economies of and lives of the people in Ohio, Michigan and PA as a result of his tariffs against Canada? @gregsargent.bsky.social
Trump is now threatening 50% tariffs on cars, trucks, and auto parts. How will that go over in Ohio and Michigan, where there are two big Senate races? And the trade war will directly hurt the agriculture industry in competitive House districts in Pennsylvania. 3/

Listening to Sade's debut album, "Diamond Life," from 1984. What an amazingly crafted set of songs. Obviously, I haven't heard every solo debut album ever but this one and Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me" in 2002 are 1 and 1a in my book. Timeless.

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

Honestly, this is a moment when we need diplomacy that is near art. We have the complete fucking opposite, of course. Rubio just wants to get to Cuba. Witkoff and Kushner are Stoppard characters. And you don't want a dude's first real job to be the hardest job in the world (cuz he sucks).

MAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."
