Trump's tariffs seem to be aimed at punishing the poorest countries. That sounds pretty familiar for a bullying little shit.

Reading PG Wodehouse's mostly forgotten early work "The Swoop!" (1909) As far as I know it's his only example of parody, in this case of the then-popular genre of invasion novels. I'd say it's his first book that's legitimately funny.
Als Antwort auf Zach Weinersmith

The Chinese and African invaders have the most offensive stereotypes, but the illustrations (not by Wodehouse) are doing a lot of the work there. It's also a little too goofy in places to be really funny. But early on it has a fantastic bit, where Germans invade a British household.
Als Antwort auf Zach Weinersmith

The joke is that the patriarch of the family has trouble be convinced of the situation, and instead just tries to be polite to the German conquerors. Finally the German says "We are invaders." The polite Englishman replies: "Not at all. Not at all.

In Ukraine, a missile did fall,
On Zelenskyy's hometown, a call,
The devastation was grim,
Life turned tragic and dim,
But the spirit of the people stands tall.

anyways, considering asking my potential employers if they have any contingency plans to divest of us-based technologies.

should be fun, i wonder if people realise how deep is the dependency on us-based services in the i.t. departments.

Do you have a brain? Were you born in a hemisphere? Then this survey needs YOU!

If you were born in the southern hemisphere or you were born in February, January or September then you are underrepresented and this survey *especially* wants to hear from you!

there are 10% fewer people born in February though, versus any other month, to be fair

@essjax Yes, I adjusted for that and for some reason February is still underrepresented!


Americans' taxes just went up by $6 trillion. That is a million dollars multiplied by 6 million.

Don't tell me Trump is trying to save anything. This guy is a economy destroyer -- and not just ours.

View from my commute this morning. Hello Mr Goose.


I got really lucky today, and can definitely confirm there is not just one, but two foxes in my neighborhood. Was not expecting that, they are not skittish at all.
Anyway, some fun images here. And I have been told to think of names. Not sure yet. The front one is a vixen, and I think the one in the back is a dog fox.
More to come (1/3).

I decided to put the 2 biggest mamas into a barn stall. One of them is possibly in early labour, but it's so hard to tell. I just sat there in the hay, listening to them chew their cud, and practiced my extremely short talk for tomorrow. They were unimpressed with what I have to say about space debris. Chin scritches are much better. #BabyGoatCountdown

Today, Trump has put a total of 20 percent tariffs on medicine made in Europe.

One of the most popular medicines made in my country Denmark is Wegovy. Its list price yesterday was USD 500 per month. Trump has now potentially raised that to 600 dollars.

Every. Single. Month.

Vote for a clown.
Expect a cirkus.

Update: While the point about the tariffs holds, the above is actually a bad example, as pharmaceuticals including Wegovy are exempt for now. Thank you to @deepak for pointing that out.

Not sure about the UK. PM Starmer seems determined to be Trumps friend; playing down the horrors of the tariffs, and taking about being calm and remaining engaged with #FeloniousTrump. Literally everyone is screaming about how stupid and wrong this attitude is.

As usual I visited the Floating Heads in Kelvingrove during my Glasgow trip.

Love love love the floating heads.

They all looked miserable to start with, & I wondered if it was some kind of political statement, but it turned out to be a temporary blip based on where I was and where they were facing 😆

[Financial Times]: Donald Trump’s beautiful trade war. By Edward Luce
“The political impact goes mostly in one direction. In theory, higher inflation and lower growth ought to harm a sitting president. Trump came to office vowing to lower prices — as distinct from reducing inflation — and is now delivering its opposite.”

Hitting the UK with a tariff stance,
Global tensions ignite,
Economies in a fight,
As each side tries to enhance.

If you're wondering where the regime got these crazy high tariff rates from...it wasn't in fact tariffs.

did I see correctly that Trump has imposed 29% tariffs on Norfolk Island, thinking it's a separate country from Australia and claiming it has 58% penalties on US imports when it's in fact a part of the Australian customs zone? hilarious.
