Remember when it was ‘woke’ for students to object to a speaker or two being invited to their campus. I wonder how all the ‘anti-woke’ warriors will bullshit their way around what is actually being done *in their name*?

Yep. Trump just exempted smartphones & computers from the tariffs, which (1) shows the absence of any real planning (2) is contrary to what he and his admin said is the point of these tariffs and (3) does not fix the numerous other problems. There are so many vital widgets US businesses get abroad.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope:
"Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.
You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?
And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by.
And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around.
And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

‘Well Done, Old Man!’ Russian State TV Revels in Trump Having ‘Destroyed Trust’ in the Economy — Calls for a Monument to Be Built in His Honor
Even as some of his most loyal defenders jump ship, there is at least on constituency President Donald Trump can count on for support — Russian state media.

And there it is. Putin’s lifelong dream. After years of relentless Russian propaganda, now fully embraced by the American president and the world’s richest oligarch, millions of Americans are convinced that this is a good plan because Europe is an enemy and Putin is our friend.

If you are wondering why Trump just acted in Putin's best interest, the answer is, of course, always the same: Follow the money. (which we, at @BylineTimes, do.) Yet, in the case of the mafia, other factors are involved. Might come in handy today. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/28/f...

With the increasingly bizarre compliance of the US President to the Russian President, Zarina Zabrisky wonders if the KGB/FSB tradition of assassination and mafia-style intimidation may be key
