The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.
He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

I had to look this up to make sure it was real.
There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands.
These are islands that form part of the Australian territory.
Heard Island in fact has Australia’s active volcano and tallest mountain.
Both islands …. are uninhabited lmao.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Me, to practically everyone at work, at the end of the day: “Nat, the Indian boy, was judged to be free!!”
Them: “Who?”
Me: “The court case I was following (transcribing) from 1777”

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes
Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else

Nothing quite like quoting a felonious President as your touchstone 🤦♀️ Now I’m probably going to have to look up the quote and the context, because CB Vance probably screwed it up. Also, gtfoh with attacking hard working professors.
Imagine citing Richard Nixon’s paranoid enemies list rhetoric — the paranoia that sparked a national crisis and sowed his own self destruction — as an example of “wisdom”
JD Vance: The professors are the enemy
-
Professors who give time and vital energy with respect and passion for knowledge, learning and sharing, let us say that the enemy is ignorance and greed, which are at the root of the loss of our humanity, and lead us back to the barbarism of the strongest.

I would like to point out, to all the comments saying that reading cursive is easy…penmanship in different time periods was, well, different. I can read 18th c penmanship (mostly) like a pro because I took lessons in cutting quills, analyzing paper, and forming the letters with quill and ink.
The National Archives is looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill: Reading cursive.
Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for.

So the Americans have been on Rednote for less than 48 hours and the friendly Chinese creators are already teaching them Mandarin and also that communism is actually a good thing.
All because the US government told them that Chinese apps were “dangerous” so everyone got it out of spite.

different kinds of cookies, put up 2 1/2 dozen jars of sauerkraut, 4 jars of tomato/hot pepper jam, and 6 jars of pickled beets.
