I wonder if giant megacorps who can afford to purchase access to the president getting tariff exemptions will be good or bad for small businesses 🤔

I'm not much for 100%ing games, don't usually like doing the same thing over and over again, but Roboquest was worth it!

Remember: there's no such thing as more or less government, just more or less centralized government. If someone is privatizing government they aren't removing it, just reorganizing. Pay attention where it goes.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

You know, that's a really good point. I hadn't thought about the fact that this kind of disruption is easy insider trading and such in addition to just crashing the market so oligarchs can buy buy buy.
Okay he’s absolutely doing this to manipulate the stock market for wealthy, shady traders.

@veritasium.bsky.social Watched your new video! I got thinking about the different speed in water vs air... does that have to do with the density and therefore the average length of the path light has to take to get through it?

The argument that it’s time to dump Ukraine because “it’s a losing investment” is not just selfish, it’s psychotic.
If your child was diagnosed with cancer, we can only assume you’d just take them out back and put them down, relieved that you don’t have to support that pathetic waste of your money.

@sanders.senate.gov In a system where majority rules and one party is fully under the thumb of a dictator, in a power disparity like this, be honest:

Here's a thought experiment: "profit" is what happens when deals are unbalanced, one party comes out ahead, when something is misvalued. What would a free market system look like where minimizing profit is the goal?

You know, when I was in school I recall that it was a big deal that the US constitution delegated the "power of the purse" to Congress, not the president, to prevent exactly these kinds of sudden changes.
Is this not just blatantly unconstitutional, and further grounds for declaration of treason?

I saw, to paraphrase: "it's good things (universities, research) are shutting down due to federal funding being withheld. If they aren't profitable, they shouldn't exist. That's how capitalism works."
This is such a fundamental misunderstanding of economics, or worse: what makes life worth living.

Episode 1 is free on Crunchyroll and the English cast is great so far, you have no excuse.
I've only seen ep 1, but it seems to be a love letter to childhood inspiration and art, and potentially the challenge of reconciling them into adult hood.
Regardless, it's a beautiful episode ❤️

I feel like one of the most interesting things leading up to the election was the assumption that I must just be listening to propaganda.
"My group says your group is doing x, you should listen to more than just your side"
It's funny, because the thing that scared me was listening to yours.

I think we can agree government policy needs to change. I understand if that feeling is why you voted the way you did.
I hope we can also agree that having a "leader" talking about invading neighbors, showing 0 empathy for natural disasters, and finding new schoolyard insults for everyone is a bfd?
