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.

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)

I think the fundimental economics of how a lot of the open internet worked broke once Elon bought Twitter. Like things weren't great but overall the system still functioned. The overall ecosystem is getting smaller at a fairly fast pace, we're entering an era of information heat death and slop.

No more Temu for me. Good luck to us all with these tariffs.

Yikes. I don't buy fro Temu often but thought I'd pick up a summer dress or two. That is until I saw the import tax.

This is so much worse than I expected.

Something I think about sometimes is how Americans ate so many turtles they functionally stopped being a viable foodstock globally. It wasn't even an age of exploration thing, Campbell's soup wrecked them in the 50s, tens of millions of turtles turned into soup.

It will be a supreme cosmic humor that in the end the way AI destroys humanity is not by war but in romance. After we spent so much time writing and producing content of our fall in violence, it will be naïve in our fall in love. It will seem so obvious in retrospect. The chatbot, not the chatgun.

Happened to be reading this interview last week Eqbal Ahmad called the Indus Water Treaty “one of the few good things that the World Bank has ever done” and gave a sadly prescient analysis on failure to normalise relations between India/Pakistan A 65 year treaty governing the Indus river system…
Do you think the resolution of the Kashmir dispute could provide
that opening to heal the wounds between Pakistan and India?
They can reach agreements on more important issues than
Kashmir. Kashmir is more of an emotional issue.
The division of water, of our rivers, was a much more central issue, because that's the lifeline of Pakistan and of the Indian part of Punjab and Haryana. But we reached an agreement on water, the 1960 Indus Basin Water Treaty, years ago, and we have honored it. The World Bank played a very central role in bringing about the treaty, one of the few good things that the World Bank has ever done. Today we are not fighting over water any more. In 1996, India and Bangladesh reached a water agreement on the Ganges.?
Except for the die-hard Hindu nationalists in India and the militant Islamic parties in Pakistan, there is no rancor among secular people or among common people between India and Pakistan. In fact, the longer we delay normalization of relations between India and Pakistan and the resolution of the Kashmir conflict, the more we are creating an environment for the spread of Islamic and Hindu militancy.

From: Confronting Empire - Eqbal Ahmad
