Will Nintendo Switch 2 games even be *just* $90 after all of Trump's tariffs..?

Thanks to #SignalGate, we finally learned what goes on in The Room Where It Happens: terrible emoji usage

10/10 distraction from the fact they're cutting Medicaid -- even through in some bearded belly dancers to really stoke the flames
This was just posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account.

Dumb question, but if Trump's tariffs were delayed at the start of February, why did I see certain goods (like avocados) spike in price already? Can we expect another spike if they end up rolling out?

It's bad enough that the president called himself the king. The fact that the White House social media team decides to further amplify that message shows that the coup is here, and they are moving to kill our democracy.

I want to be clear once more that every single vaccine on the childhood vaccine schedule in the United States has already been subjected to a randomized clinical trial. There is no evidence that giving more than one of these vaccines within the time period specified by the schedule poses any risk.

An important reminder, since people are wrongly freaking out: Small private planes crash all the time. The Philly crash, the Alaska crash, this one — all count as such. There are 1,000 small plane crashes a year. This is normal. Them making headlines is what is scaring you.

With so much of the world turning authoritarian, I'm scared to see what the Conclave does if Pope Francis passes. He's been a relatively progressive pope, and that's almost led to a schism at the top level.

#GardeningSky, any tips on starting a wildflower garden in Zone 9 Texas? Going to plant some native milkweed seeds and some bluebonnet seeds, but any other good suggestions? 🌱 #gardening

Hopefully not lost in the massive tragedy of the plane crash in DC, which deserves all of the press it gets, is the fact that Trump issued an Executive Order to use Guantanamo Bay as a concentration camp.

Remember to support your local library whether it’s in person or via Libby and/or Hoopla!
If you’re buying physical books, go to your local bookstore BEFORE a chain store or Amazon. Buying secondhand is always an option too: ThriftBooks, PangoBooks, GoodwillBooks.

Shouting out into the ether here -- does anyone have any tips for constructing a #LittleFreeLibrary? I'm mid-build, so any suggestions are welcome. Trying to spread more joy and more #books in these precedented times. #diy #crafting #booksky 💙📚

Anyone else deep diving into nostalgia as a way to keep the littlest bit of mental health propped up? Old #Pokemon games and transparent plastic gadgets are my best friends right now #mentalhealth #retrogaming
