These tedious old fools!

China halts delivery of Boeing aircraft and all aircraft parts from the US, one of major, higher margin exports. Meanwhile, the Dow is up. SMH. The whole world's gone mad.

"you cant put the shit back in the donkey" is a great phrase

I wish we could do something modest, like Brexit, instead of whatever madness this is.

NEW: At least 2,700 employees — roughly 17% of its staff — have applied to resign from the US Department of Energy. The departures could gut the agency’s in-house bank, as well as its offices focused on bolstering the power grid and U.S. manufacturing. heatmap.news/politics/doe...

I'm bored now. What's going on with Waha?

It’s been a full week, and not a single penguin has backed down or sold out. Could there be a lesson here for America’s law firms and universities?

It's kind of poetic and fucked up that scientists recreate brain cells in a lab, and the first kind the make are pain cells. C'est la vie petri dish brain. www.ft.com/content/f8d5...

Why is it the first part of any new hobby involves building things for the hobby? Just finished my first welding course, and recommended projects are building a welding cart, building a welding table, building welding tools, or building a flower pot stand for your mom.

This is legit funny. It's amazing how simple these people are. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"I need to relax. The news is stressing me out. I know, I'll listen to a history podcast. Nothing stressful about that." Opens app to see next up: a four episode series on the history of Ireland. 😑

Well, that's done. After three weeks of testing a low cost carrier (one that uses the Verizon network), I've fully switched off my Verizon branded plan. Prepaid, I'm saving $1k a year.

I thought this was an GenAI image, but the plotters really got behind a guy who was 101 years old. How long did they think this coup was going to last? www.ft.com/content/414d...

Hmm. East German is still very different.
