Trump backed down to China of tariffs. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Positively blown away.

Good morning, Bluesky. Today is another writing day. I'm on draft two of my latest novel, and I feel the ending approaching. Disassociating from current events to focus on creativity has done wonders for my mental health. Have a lovely day!

Good morning, Bluesky. Good vibes and a pleasant day to you all. Never forget: there is more good in the world than evil. But you'll rarely hear about that in the news. Find your joy and embrace it. "Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." -Dalai Lama

Hegseth is dead man walking. Musk's influence is dropping faster than Tesla's stock price. But things won't get better even when these disasterous men are gone. Trump is an anchor pulling America's greatness to dangerous, dark depths. We can not slow down. Resistance is more important than ever.

Good morning, Bluesky! The news is stressful, and social media can be great to blow off steam. It can also exacerbate anxiety sometimes. Don't neglect yourself. Engage in hobbies, go for a walk, or send a message to an old friend. Self-love is crucial to a balanced life. Great vibes to you all

(1) Wheel s3e7 was fun in many ways. The battle as written would require LotR film level budget, so it was shallow in that way, but still told the story. Some choices, I don’t know. Emotional, yet hard to swallow for a reader. But I accept a new turning of the wheel concept. #wotskies

Trump punts on Liberation Day and removes the loaded gun from the economy's temple. MAGA/GOP cheers his genius, reversing course on days of cheering those same tariffs as also genius. Victory lap ensues. I'm tired.

Aafror @aafror.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

Trump suggested a 90-day tariff pause on many countries, sending markets into the stratosphere. He is forced to punt on "Liberation Day," but a victory lap will naturally ensue. He doubled down on China, increasing duties to 125%, citing "lack of respect." And so continues our economic whiplash.

Mania in the market. 2300 difference between high and low on the DOW, ending on a 4th day of heavy losses for all indexes. This after starting the day big in the green. This level of volatility is astounding. It seems the only thing preventing free fall are rumors and hopes.

Aafror @aafror.bsky.social · 08/04/2025

Market volatility continues as Trump hints at willingness to consider trade deals. Politically, this will be interesting. If Trump scores deals with major trading partners, markets will soar. One false tweet sent indexes (momentarily) to the moon. After all, money made is loss forgiven.

Most Americans have a Trump-voting loved one somewhere in their lives. Many of those are probably concerned right now, too. Resist the urge to taunt and belittle. Don't call them dumb. Many of those voters believed a lie. A lie that said this man cared about them. Midterms will be here soon.

"But dividing the U.S.’s 2024 goods-trade deficit with China, of some $295 billion, by the amount the U.S. imported from China results in the 67% tariff value presented by the White House." Only the best people. 👌

Good for Booker for doing something, but without a call for greater action, this will unfortunately fall flat as performative bullshit. On the other hand, if the Democrstic chamber used their full and united powers to disrupt, delay, and frustrate, change can begin.

Some have commented that recent court rulings and Congressional hearings against Trump and his team wouldn't happen with a shutdown, as a defense of Schumer's decision. People weren't cheering for a shutdown. People didn't want bipartisan support for a clearly partisan bill. Massive difference.

Trump is fired up about an unconstitutional third term again. He says it's okay because 2020 was rigged. He desperately wants his stolen election claims validated, despite the mountains of evidence to the contrary. He can not stand to have that stain of "losing" on his record.
