I asked Grok about its take on the 39% US tariff threat on Swiss exports:
"[..] unfair and poorly justified given Switzerland’s low-tariff, open-market policies and significant economic contributions to the U.S." The approach feels "heavy-handed and inconsistent". #Switzerland #Trump #US #tariffs

If you care about metrology, the science of measurement, today is a special day!

“Washington has become the court of Nero,” Senator Claude Malhuret declared before the French Parliament this week. His speech, whose dark urgency and stark rhetorical force made it a social-media sensation, has been translated and adapted by The Atlantic:
Trump Is Nero While Washington Burns
‘Trump’s message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you.’
