Trump's massive computer tariff exemption is forcing the US economy to gamble on AI—but more than that, it's a fundamental challenge to his trade philosophy

If free trade delivers such great results for the 1 sector still enjoying it, why subject the rest of us to protectionism?

Also the type of party really matters, most of the weddings in my family (incl mine) have been mostly how you describe “fancy parties,” rather than a formal white wedding

I think that’s why most of us err on the side of “weddings are for family,” it’s way less ceremonial and more just a party

Not all public disorder is the consequence of marginalized people whose material needs aren’t being met.

Some people are just assholes who get off on exerting dominance over others through antisocial behavior; and we need some response to this that isn’t “shut up and take it or move to the ‘burbs.”

My cats only eat one wet food and one dry food but they get lots of scraps on the side, I think that’s enough variety for them, because they refuse to eat other wet food (have only tried two dry foods, but it was a pretty smooth switch)

It completely works. Antivax sentiment among California parents declined after Dems passed laws cracking down on frivolous exemptions that antivax parents were using bsky.app/profile/bwjo...
The equivalent of that annoying little beep for vaccination used to be policies that children could not attend school unless they had documented vaccines.
Reminder that we didn't win the similar long fight over seatbelt usage by gently persuading skeptical anti seatbelt people with empathetic outreach, or by having cops write tickets, but by having manufacturers make cars do a little annoying beep if you didn't wear it.

Make the people with harmful irrational beliefs feel respected or attacked and it emboldens them, make them feel like chumps and dummies and embarrassments and they will abandon them.

Most people said this to me before I got married, but now my mom tells me that since I'm already not having fun I may as well just have a baby
