It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

I'm sceptical about the big consequences, but definitely wish them prison time&all the worst
The judge is very clearly very pissed at Apple - for all the right reasons.
Here's the full verdict.
Apple messed up big time, and consequences could be far-reaching.
You cannot ignore a court order, then lie to the judge, under oath. But they did.

This is HUGE: Apple can no longer charge the "Apple Tax" on web transactions.
Epic fought up against this anticompetitive practice; took Apple to court and scored a clear and decisive victory.
Apple cannot collect a 27% tax on web purchases. Not for Epic, not for others.

I agree. Elon should mine uranium for sure.
This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

if it's any year before smartphones, those would be the best 6 mo in their life
Stupid reality show that asks MAGA types to name a year when America was "great" and then forces them to spend 6 months living exactly how a household at the 75th income percentile lived in that year.
asterisk because i think we look at that period of stability deeply red rose-colored glasses. when people think prosperity they don’t think “family of six sharing a 1200 sq ft home living largely on canned goods and hand me downs” but that was the reality

Trump is getting away with this and will get away with anything
1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question:
Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2?
These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value
NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION

Trump tariffs, corporations cower
During the Biden administration, corporate executives regularly expressed their displeasure with policies they opposed.

another spin: if (when) this won't stop him, nothing else will
I'm serious about pushing Republicans on impeachment this week. Think about it. There will never be a better chance. Rich people losing their wealth is the *only* thing that can move the needle on this. Not fascism, not racism, not the destruction of public health. This is it.

I see this as "take his descriptions of reality and intentions literally, like he means it and will try to act accordingly, and what he promises to achieve with those — seriously, like he believes it's going to happen"
This should be a wake up call for all the “take Trump seriously but not literally” people.
He literally wants tariffs even if they cause economic harm.
He literally supports Putin over Ukraine.
He literally wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
And he literally wants to run for a 3rd term.

The only #2 worth doing for civil society is a fat #2 in every cybertruck you can find.
In today’s political context, it’s more dangerous for civil society to do #2.
Two common misconceptions are on my mind today: 1. Overestimating the power of a single day of protest. 2. Underestimating the power of a single day of protest.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Putin's bitch at it again?
Here's how the tariffs table would look like if Russia was on it.
In 2024, the US imported $3B worth of goods from there while exporting $526M there. It's one of the largest negative trade definite, percentage-wise, across all countries the US does business with.

If the last couple of days have taught me anything, it is that naming what is happening and acting accordingly is what helps people trust and respect you. And sometimes, maybe, that means being "uncivil."
