“X has Elongated itself and has now become Z”
Trump’s tariff stat laundering

1.) It appears that Trump has pressured national US carriers into only accepting DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) on international packages.

This is why the entire EU & many other countries have halted ALL commercial post to the USA OUTRIGHT.

Anyone else enjoying the Orange Wedding episode tonight?

I get the feeling this has actually been the Democrat’s plan all along.
Sit back, and let them fight and implode.

From now on we are calling Trump’s tariff war “World War T”.

Unprecedented times require that he be unpresidented immediately.

So I guess that if de minimis also gets cancelled for micro home businesses selling handmade goods to the US (Etsy/Shopify etc.), it will also be cancelled for Amazon and Amazon Handmade, right?

….Right…?

Not looking forward to having to explain to my US customers (who I care deeply about) that it is not me who pays the 20% tariff, but them. They’re innocent in all of this, and are not obliged to be economically and trade savvy. But their president is.
Working on the copy & paste right now.

Post- #adolescence social media commentary and disinformation shows that there is a massive Incel/MAGA/Brexiter/neo-nazi/white supremacy overlap.

One of the UK mini-series’ many crowning achievements may be that it can help expose and remedy social media grooming and brainwashing across the board.

Just thinking out loud…

What would your company do if it’s CEO was a senile, demented, uneducated, criminal, illiterate, pathological liar who paints his face orange, and whose antics had caused worldwide chaos and even death and injury in your area of work/life?

And how long would it take?

Yikes. This should be a fun day.

Warning: Graphic bodged guitar modification content/a tale of neglect. Guitar players with sensitive natures - look away now🙂.

America: As a Brit who witnessed the UK impose sanctions on itself due to political interference & dumb people being groomed into voting to end their own rights & country, I can reluctantly tell you one thing:

Nobody is coming to rescue you.

You have to oust him yourselves.

Strolling on the “other” side of the former Iron Curtain, I see people over the age of 85 and wonder of what horrors they witnessed 80 years ago. I’m old enough to remember the 40th anniversary well, and now older enough to truly understand that I know/knew nothing of true horror.

Never again.

Somewhere in the not too distant future:

“So why won’t you employ me?”

-You wear MAGA merchandise.

“That’s discrimination! You can’t exclude me because of my ideology”

- Ah, you didn’t get the memo. DEI got cancelled by the new president. It works both ways, you see…

If Elon Musk wishes to get involved in politics, maybe he should return to Pretoria and try to stand for election on a pro-fascism/pro-white supremacy ticket in South Africa instead of trying to actively imprint his true nature on democracies he can never become an elected and accountable part of.

Today, the USA falls. All Putin had to do was bombard the poorly-educated with disinformation via social media. Not a single shot was fired. Convincing Americans to vote for an illiterate criminal and traitor was a masterstroke. Once a traitor and idiot holds the highest office, it all colapses.

Dilemma.

FB is my main promo/feature channel for my home-run guitar gadget venture. Twitter formerly brought 5 x more daily traffic and conversions, but that’s history since the fash took over.

Is anyone aware of any upcoming #Bluesky features for #smallbusiness now that FB is becoming FB-X?

#straturday & #strumday fun.

My new prototype Jaywalker JD-GT with 10-way & Red Special switching, plus passive Manual Morph Modulation.
Jeff Beck tremolo setup.

A work in progress, but I’m getting there slowly🙂.

Making a very experimental ST-type guitar featuring a lot of mind/blowing passive circuit innovations that @pew-pewdevices.bsky.social will be introducing next year (if I don’t blow the kitchen up beforehand)…
