TULGAN: Of Cheese and Chelnoki, the return of shuttle trading
The Trump Administration’s clumsy introduction of punitive tariffs recalls the days when similarly capricious sanctions wreaked havoc over Moscow ...

Some levity on Trump tariffs and a similar time I faced a capricious trade ban on EU food imports to Russia in 2014. Enjoy it with your 10% tariffed coffee! Happy Friday!

I can’t imagine the fees his company has paid out to place debt for the WB purchase, retain consultants for the HBO Max/Max/HBO Max fiasco and have the bankers/lawyers to make it all work.
David Zaslav will make nearly $660 million if Netflix's deal to acquire Warner Bros. closes, according to CNBC.
Add that to his $470 million in compensation since 2019, and the king of failing up is about to be a billionaire.

#NYC desperately needs big ideas. Alas, Mamdani may be undone by the smallest, pettiest ideas. Let’s hope New Yorkers judge him by his merits, not the slurs of others.

I guess signal intelligence in the Trump Administration really does mean simply using Signal to communicate. 🤷🏽♂️

Peter Wolf befriended music legends, married a movie star and led the J. Geils Band. His new memoir reminds us: He was there.
Rock forgot one of its wildest front men. He’s got a story to tell.

Should i be concerned about higher tariffs on legos? Raising a five year old is already expensive. If the US and Denmark go to blows over Greenland…. 🤷🏽♂️

Trump’s picks for his cabinet are evidence of this echo chamber argument. Not only the hosts and commentators, but the politicians he picks all boast significant airtime on that particular network.
One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
