Wait, my brain is working, I thought the film tariffs were towards foreign movies being imported into America like anime/kdrama, they, literally mean the movie can't be filmed outside of America, which means American productions can't film on location anymore.

"The phone eats time; it makes us live the way people do inside a casino, dropping a blackout curtain over the windows to block out the world, except the blackout curtain is a screen, showing too much of the world, too quickly."
Jia Tolentino writes about how Donald Trump and “his lieutenant content-generator Elon Musk” harness the internet to damage our sense of the real.
My Brain Finally Broke
Much of what we see now is fake, and the reality we face is full of horrors. More and more of the world is slipping beyond my comprehension.

If the number of ships between China and North America were to reduce by 35% as seems to be likely (unless the tariff war ends soon), then the Northern Pacific could show accelerated warming during the second half of 2025 due to aerosol reductions.

Yup. I got a call from someone who was able to spoof the number of my bank. Which is why I answered in the first place. I had just got back from a trip to Oregon and they mentioned there was a fraudulent charge and needed my card number in order to deactivate the card to send a replacement. (1/2)
You receive a call on your phone.

The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraudulent payment.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

I feel like we're maybe a week or two before America really starts to get hit by shortages. I'm really not sure what the world looks like in another month though it definitely won't be anything good.
