Despite some who said that trading to get him was a “fireable offence,” Straw has been huge part of the #BlueJays success this season. Mostly with his defence, but he’s swung the bat pretty well too. I had my doubts at the time. Thoughts @wilnerness.bsky.social? www.mlb.com/news/myles-s...

from today's post about Mad King Donny slapping tariffs on an island inhabited solely by penguins — thanks for reading! link to the whole enchilada is here: bit.ly/3FVJT4f (longer excerpt in the alt text)
ok, but when Donny’s team of economic brainiacs got to Heard and McDonald Islands, by what insane fever dream did they calculate a ten percent tariff? because it’s in the middle of the Antarctic — and, as noted at the top of this post, is inhabited only by pengiuns.

how are we generating a trade imbalance with penguins, for fuck’s sake?

because I’ve seen penguins in the zoo. you throw a fish at them, they catch it in mid-air and swallow it down — and then they waddle around, hoping for more. that’s it. that’s their whole deal. it’s an economy based on free fish.

and pray tell, why the fuck did they slap an 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory? because the only thing there is a US military base. these morons just tariffed their own soldiers.

they also slapped a 10% tariff on the meteorological station of the Arctic Sea island of Jan Mayan. it’s a small Norwegian island with no permanent residents. something like 18 researchers work there. they don’t have an economy.

As a Canadian, I heard about how America's 'checks and balances' protect them from tyranny since I was a child. We learned from US TV that Americans would fight tooth and nail to preserve their democracy and their constitution. So it's weird to watch them just roll over to a pair of con-men.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
