Telling someone that to relax after said at least work-related footnote trawling I'm watching a drachinifel video on the history of the Fritz-X seemingly made me seem no more well adjusted haha

Sometimes I think I'm a vaguely sane and normal person, then I tell someone that digging through the footnotes of federal budget documents for hours over the weekend is fun to me and they very quickly rid me of this illusion.

Climate austerity from the left is an ideological undercurrent that must be destroyed at nearly any cost because it is one of the most regressive and inegalitarian positions you can take. The social and health returns on adequate AC alone are gigantic relative to the environmental footprint.

Israeli drones over Teheran & bombing the Iranian state tv life on air. that’s it. The regime is wholly impotent. Might not be finished tomorrow or in a few years - nobody knows - but they cant make destroying isreal the sole purpose of their state and then simply collapse upon contact immediately

It’s remarkable how delusional much of the public is about, well,,, most things. I’ve never been more convinced that the German baby boomers would’ve been utterly incapable of accomplishing what the post war generation has. I hope mine is less stupid, but,,,

it’s super funny how the Palestinians killed the soviet union (through the oil crisis) and have now also dismanteled the „axis of resistance“

The Iranians just handed the excuse the Israelis were looking for to escalate further. Any speculation about de-escalation is downright delusional

I don’t think Bibi is the kinda guy who’s conductive to peace in the Middle East but you do have to hand it to him if even Hezbollah isn’t willing to die for Iran now

it was not just that “woke art” was bad art, it was also that the people who made it themselves often held its values privately in contempt. neil gaiman was the guy who came up with the “it’s about being a good guy, not political correctness” quote people toss around, but….

I genuinely think this particular aesthetic trend (Good Art Is Didactic And Also Assumes You Are Very Stupid) is a non-trivial source of anti-woke backlash, like unironically. It is really really annoying, and I think it has provided wedges by which anti-wokes can radicalise nerds.

NEW: TIME publishes interview with Trump. This is a REAL section of the transcript. It is impossible to read this and not conclude that Trump is suffering profound, cognitive decay.

Your trade adviser, Peter Navarro, says 90 deals in 90 days is possible. We're now 13 days into the point from when you lifted the reciprocal, the discounted reciprocal tariffs. There's zero deals so far. Why is that?

No, there's many deals.

When are they going to be announced?

You have to understand, I'm dealing with all the companies, very friendly countries. We're meeting with China. We're doing fine with everybody. But ultimately, l've made all the deals.

Not one has been announced yet. When are you going to announce them?

I've made 200 deals.

You've made 200 deals?

100%.

Can you share with whom?

Because the deal is a deal that I choose. View it ditterently: We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with the United States, but I set a tariff on countries.
Some have been horrible to us. Some have been okay. Nobody's been great. Nobody's been great. Everybody took advantage of us. What I'm doing is I will, at a certain point in the not too distant future, I will set a fair price of tariffs for different countries. These are countries-some of them have made hundreds of billions of
dollars, and some of them have made just a lot of money. Very few of them have made nothing because the United States was being ripped off by every, almost every country in the world, in the entire world. So I will set a price, and when I set the price, and I will set it fairly according to the statistics, and according to everything else.

I'm just curious, why don't you announce these deals that you've solidified?

I would say, over the next three to four weeks, and we're finished, by the way.

You're finished?

We'll be finished.

Oh, you will be finished in three to four weeks.

I'll be finished. Now, some countries may come back and ask for an adjustment, and I'll consider that, but l'll basically be, with great knowledge, setting-ready? We're a department store, a giant department store, the biggest department store in history. Everybody wants to come in and take from us. They're going to come in and they're going to pay a price for taking our treasure, for taking our jobs, for doing all of these things. But what I'm doing with the tariffs is people are coming in, and they're building at levels you've never seen before. We have $7 trillion of new plants, factories and other things, investment coming into the United States. And if you look back at past presidents, nobody was anywhere near that. And this is in three months.

Will you call President Xi if he doesn't call you?

No.

You won't?

Nope.

Has he called you yet?

Yep.

When did he call you?

He's called. And I don't think that's a sign of weakness on his behalf.

But you would think it's a sign of weakness if you called him?

I don't-I just look-

Well, what did he say?

If people want to-well, we all want to make deals. But I am this giant store. It's a giant, beautiful store, and everybody wants to go shopping there. And on behalf of the American people, I own the store, and I set prices, and I'll say, if you want to shop here, this is what you have to pay.

One question on similarity to truss is on whether Trump can have his powers curbed. That’s easy in a parliamentary system but not so easy for the US. It’s very hard for the Fed to step in when the problem is being caused by the White House exercising congressionally delegated power.

I’m losing my mind here. USTR made a list of “Unfair trade practices” they’re retaliating against, complaint number 5 is that the EU cares too much about stopping illegal deforestation, complaint number 7 is that the South Americans are doing too much illegal deforestation

“5/10: The EU's Deforestation-free Supply Chain Regulation (EUDR) aims to prohibit imports of seven products—including cattle, cocoa, rubber, and wood—unless exporters meet various burdensome compliance requirements, including due diligence and geolocation data.

It is estimated the EUDR will potentially impact $8.6 billion worth of annual U.S. agricultural and industrial exports.”

7/10: Illegal logging and illegal mining in South America, particularly in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, fuel environmental degradation and create unfair competition that harms U.S. businesses committed to responsible sourcing and compliance with environmental laws.

These illicit activities, which usually involve transnational criminal organizations, distort global commodity markets by driving down prices and allowing bad actors to undercut legitimate American exporters.
