Confirmed: Russia has been spared from Trump's reciprocal tariffs because current sanctions "preclude any meaningful trade," the White House says.

However, the US trades more with Russia than it does with some of the countries that have been targeted, like Mauritius or Brunei, @axios.com reports.
Trump's tariffs list is missing one big country: Russia
The White House told Axios the reason is linked to existing sanctions.

As always, no mainstreaming without enabling:

"The motion to restrict immigration was nonbinding. What mattered was that the centre-right opposition CDU, which brought it forward, and the libertarian FDP, who supported it, relied on additional AfD votes to pass it"

This is so incredibly, goofily stupid—a slapstick level of dumbass, self-defeating, wasteful procurement even if it’s somehow not as corrupt as it looks—but I suspect absolutely no one is going to prevent it from happening. What an embarrassment. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

I feel like there’s a certain political imbalance growing in everything AI-related, where specific political groups, mostly right-wing, disregard all its critiques & embrace it in every application, while their opponents don't — which further increases its influence & bias in rather unsettling ways

I like how we are still framing this as "struggling to combat misinformation" or clumsiness, as opposed to what it is: a conscious if sloppy effort by a wealthy right winger to undermine journalism and his ideological enemies

It seriously needs DMing if only because muskrat put it behind a paywall
I think Bluesky will have 𝕏-killer potential as soon as it (1) makes individual posts publicly embeddable and visible to non-users, and (2) introduces DMing. Without these two features, it doesn't have the visibility or networking capacity many still rely on in the Muskiverse.
