Mark Cuban is way dumber than anyone gives him credit for
Screenshot of Bluesky “skeet” from billionaire businessman Mark Cuban. Text reads: “1 more #econsky. What about #tariff-buyouts to foreign countries. Let them buy down their tariff rate with a one time payment = to their tariff receipts from USA goods? That goes right to deficit and debt reduction. Just spit balling along for feedback. Good or bad.” The post has over 3 thousand Likes. Screenshot of Mark Cuban “skeet” on BlueSky. Mark has reskeeted a post by user chelsea lawrence that reads, “Will be interesting to see how the Republican Party tariffs affect Amazon” followed by a chart entitled “Chinese seller revenue share on Amazon by category.” The chart is a bar graph showing that “Arts, Crafts, and Sewing” is the biggest category for Chinese sellers by share, representing a 60% share of the category’s $6.6B annual revenue. The next 2 categories are “Cell Phones and Accessories,” a 60% share of $8.3B in revenue, and “Clothing, Shoes, and Jewelry,” a 50% share of $58B in annual revenue. The chart continues with other categories. [The subtext of Chelsea’s post is that tariffs on China are going to reduce Amazon sales revenue.] Mark Cuban’s text on his reskeet of Chelsea’s post reads: “If these tariffs stick, it's going to be ugly for Amazon, but incredible for all the American sellers.”

I always go back to this, and it’s always clarifying
Screenshot of a politico.com article which ran after the election, profiling centrist Democrats in the DNC. The text in the screenshot reads, “Or as one DNC member from Florida put it: "I don't want to be the freak show party, like they have branded us. You know, when you're a mom with three kids, and you live in middle America and you're just not really into politics, and you see these ads that scare the bejesus out of you, you're like, 'I know Trump's weird or whatever, but I would rather his weirdness that doesn't affect my kids.”

There are two types of Trump haters: one group wants to stay safe and normal while *other people* suffer the consequences, preferably icky people like leftists or Republicans; the other group recognizes that we all sink or swim together. Only one of these attitudes is actually antifascist.

Khalil emailed Columbia for help because of threats he had received.
Article excerpt: The most recent among the leaked messages was an email Khalil, a green card holder, sent to Columbia interim president Katrina Armstrong on March 7. “Since yesterday, I have been subjected to a vicious, coordinated, and dehumanizing doxxing campaign led by Columbia affiliates Shai Davidai and David Lederer who, among others, have labeled me a security threat and called for my deportation,” he began. “Their attacks have incited a wave of hate, including calls for my deportation and death threats. I have outlined the wider context below, yet Columbia has not provided any meaningful support or resources in response to this escalating threat,” he added. “I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urgently need legal support, and I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm.”

Yes, the left is the enemy for not thanking Liz Cheney enough for sacrificing her illustrious career, which she spent trying to ensure that people got poisoned by chemicals, lost the ability to vote, and couldn’t afford healthcare and prescriptions.

Let’s light a candle in her honor.
Newsweek headline: Liz Cheney Voted With Trump 93 Percent of Her Congressional Career Published Aug 16, 2022 Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming is expected to lose today's statewide primary against opponent Harriet Hageman after becoming former President Donald Trump's number one target—despite voting with him about 93 percent of the time. However, Cheney has largely been a supporter of Trump's policies, voting against impeaching him in December 2019 and finding common ground on a number of issues. Both opposed a $1.5 trillion infrastructure package; congressional approval for Trump to take military action against Iran; the Environmental Protection Agency issuing regulations pertaining to certain chemicals; restoring parts of the Voting Rights Act; Affordable Care Act expansion; and allowing the federal government to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.

Don’t put your image into this AI photo thing
Quote from 404 article: “Used Meta AI to edit a selfie, now Instagram is using my face on ads targeted at me,” the person posted. The user was shown a slideshow of AI-generated images in which an AI version of himself is standing in front of an endless “mirror maze.” “Imagined for you: Mirror maze,” the location of the post reads. “Imagine yourself reflecting on life in an endless maze of mirrors where you’re the main focus,” the caption of the AI images say. The Reddit user told 404 Media that at one point he had uploaded selfies of himself into Instagram’s “Imagine” feature, which is Meta’s AI image generation feature.
