Am trying to focus on the small things that make me happy, that I can control..because the anxieties of the world is so cruel, the juggernaut of destruction so bent towards power and driven by the engine of greed. I hope this helps.

Good morning. Has Trump destroyed USA and are the Americans finally living like the rest of us? In the broken down shambles of a consumerist society, preening ourselves as we sit on shards, precariously kicking each other off cliff faces. We are the Nightmare, the belly of the Dream.

Why doesn't Elon send in robots to do this.
I can't get over this post and the fact that it's coming from a US fed department. Wow...wow...not like I was a fan, but I did grow up thinking the US was a superpower, with a govt that wouldn't do pigeon shit like this. Lol.
Oh well... IMPERMANENCE.

Beautiful little video. Especially the Ranger when he says... Rather than looking after a grave I love after my grandmother's totem, the crocodiles.
While crocodile hunting is still banned in Northern Territory, the Arafura Swamp is still one of the largest areas of Australia managed according to traditional Aboriginal practices, with local Yolngu rangers helping ensure their Country's continued survival
Arafura Swamp Rangers love working on their Country as government backs more jobs in the bush #nitv

As a South Asian from a country that is constantly tethering to similar dark abyss, these stories have a ring of familiarity. These stories reflect things I notice; I can see us walking on similar and almost inevitable paths.
Woman Life Freedom- created by Marjane Satrapi
This anthology of graphic-art stories was published as a response to the tragic death of Mahsa Amini. As Marjane Satrapi writes in the introduction, this death- that was directly a result of a violent beating by the Morality Police in Iran- spurred Sophie, the publisher of L'iconoclaste. She "was not content with mere outrage and indignation. She was determined to take tangible actions...the idea of the book was hers.

Americans have some massively cuckoo people. Like they've been isolated in la la land for too long. The problem is they spread their madness. We were fine until they started doing it.
Current American evangelicals generally believe in a pretribulation rapture...all the Christians get teleported to heaven before the antichrist even shows up. So the fact that they are still around means Trump can't be the antichrist in that (weird) belief system.

Trump did more to destroy the idea of US hegemony than ha ha anybody else. For the rest of us... It's almost like he's a human representation of the idea of the US. I guess this is karma. I'll take it.

Fascinating pod. On why the UAW supports tariffs
They do raise valid points, like big biz profiteering on poor labour & other regulation in other countries.

paw paw is probably doing deals with China to buy products and sell to the US. Like the time they bought & sold Russian Oil to the EU.
Of course Adani-Ambani wholesale (literally) traders will be the main beneficiaries. Stockpiling, middle man-ing is in the genes. IYKYK

So, in summary:
- Trump is STILL hiking tariffs to 10% on everything we import, and to 104% on China.
- The OTHER additional taxes on goods from places other than China are suspended for 90 days.
- The ORIGINAL tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, steel, aluminum and cars are still on.

Laughing cos am .. actually doom scrolling bonds and stocks...stuff I have zero interest in.
We never had to doom scroll past midnight through posts about skyrocketing treasury yields, a collapsing bond market, and plunging stock futures when Joe Biden was president.
The only reason they should have called him Sleepy Joe is because we were able to sleep at night.
