Japanese companies like Nintendo and Sony appear to be price gouging the rest of the world and not applying price increases in the country hitting them with tariffs.
That tells me that they think the rest of the world will pay for US tariffs to keep prices down there.
Boycott Nintendo and Sony.

The legitimate use of a blue checkmark is welcome on BlueSky, I used to think it was a silly vanity thing on Twitter but the reality is that it gives noted individuals a level of comfort against fakes and it helps to weed out a lot of bot accounts and doesn't amplify the worst on the platform.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

What I just saw come out of the White House today has left me in shock, I don’t want to hear any nonsense from Americans that this is just Trumps way of doing deals or playing strongman … this was an utterly disgusting display.

Trump’s numbers on US & European aid to Ukraine are completely fabricated — Europe has given more to Ukraine and the US hasn’t reached anywhere near $350 billion.

If Ukraine rejects the Trump-Putin plan for them because it's simply unworkable then Europe needs to stand strong with them because Trump will do everything he can to blame Zelenskyy for the failure of his deal.
