Messes with my head how these folks take words and scramble then and nod that they know what they are talking about - hubris lives on!
two tech men having an incredibly annoying meeting next to me in the café and one of them just said "the thing I love about SEO is.....the culture", gobsmacking, beautiful piece of dialogue, would have struggled with it in a sitcom yet he just said it, in real life

Watching from uk thinking #johnnycash style opportunity here for American car maker “one piece at a time “ …. 😱🤣
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

I also fear for Europe - if Ukraine is to agree this plan this could be our 2025 Sudetenland moment. We will see Putin emboldened. With a weakened Ukraine and NATO reluctance to then intervene we will go onto see war in Europe. Zelenskyy has warned us all along. Putin will not stop at this.
I worry that if Putin prevails in Ukraine, our NATO allies could be tested next. That risks dragging us into a far bigger conflict. From my recent conversation on Firing Line with Margaret Hoover.

My immediate thought was CEO of European pharma - buy small land parcel somewhere random in USA, hire a JCB, get a hard hat on take photo and send to White House and all your drug catalogue tariffed no more… its so crazy even I can’t believe he is doing this but its a great Simpson episode
So, a foreign pharma company can buy a plot of land, move around some dirt and dodge the tariff.
Do I have that right?

Does he not realize MAGA voters rely on pharmaceutical drugs? Is he intentionally tanking his numbers? Is someone in his ear convincing him this is a good idea to make him even more unpopular? Maybe his batshit grandpa rampage is being egged on by those who want his power.

Every successful black or brown person I’ve worked with in a 40 year career was most talented and higher educated than their white peers - they got there because they were better - white men don’t like to hear it nor do they like smart women either
oh, we have some straightforward gutter racism. “the blacks and the browns are the reason white people can’t get ahead” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

When will we ever learn? WAR is never the road to PEACE we only ever get peace with tolerance, negotiation and humility and lots of hard work in conflict resolution. Where are the better humans we need them?

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Oh wow.
Note: This response (below, which is real) to Trump’s tweet depicting himself as pope is from the New York State Catholic Bishops, who represent the collective bishops of the state.
Among them is Cardinal Dolan of NYC, who Trump appointed to his new religious liberty commission this week.

I remember sitting at JFK for my transatlantic flight home Feb 2020 and @nytimes.com headline then “it will all blow over” was his line - the damage he unleashed everywhere to everyone ….
