I’ve ignored the “Abolish the NRC” bros before but I think with so many institutions in America under attack we have to now Nuclear regulation is necessary for reactors at any size, and how the NRC’s legal challengers actually prove they need oversight! elementalenergy.substack.com/p/nuclear-wa...

Taiwan after negotiations with the Trump administration:

CHINESE MANUFACTURERS STRIKE BACK: Trump’s tariffs have apparently caused factories to flood TikTok with ads like this: Would be funny if instead of bringing American manufacturing home the Trump tariffs end up incentivizing consumers to buy products direct from China.

Trump’s true sin is not that he fooled the American people into thinking he’s a great dealmaker, but that he believed it himself.

People are accommodating Trump the way you accommodate a 800lb gorilla while looking for the tranquilizer darts.

I’m so tired

For those of you who didn’t nuke your X account now’s really the time to come back and visit🤗 MAGA in disarray…

Maybe Xi and Trump just needs to settle this in a rap battle…

When was this again?

SMH

125% tariffs still on toys and textiles from China!

Banana Tariff Republic

LOL!

LOL! If you haven’t logged in to the bad place for a while this is not a terrible time. MAGA is very quiet. Trump just caved on China tariffs for just about most things we need to buy from China (cellphones laptops etc)

I’m really glad I’m not in the states right now. MAGA slop accounts are starting to share Ghiblified memes about bombing the Three Gorges Dam. When the Sinophobia starts to rage I don’t think it’s gonna matter that I’m “Taiwanese not Chinese.”

Just one more tokamak bro… We just need a stellarator bro… We just need some stronger magnets bro… Just another 20 years bro….

🚨BREAKING: Trump-Xi Signal chats leaked!🚨

Remember the delightful insanity of the 4 seasons total landscaping press conference? I feel like I’m living through that level of heightened insanity and incompetence but instead of being free from stakes the world economy is on the line.

Hey I started a trade war Tariffs are crazy But my bond yield’s spiking So call me maybe?

How bad is it? Angelica perma crypto skeptic now bitcoin long.

“Help us, bond vigilantes, you’re our only hope!”

Not one. Not two, but over 10,000 Taiwanese families where one parent originally Chinese are about to be torn apart for the most asinine reason. “Chinese spouses” need to prove they’ve relinquished their Chinese household registrations. In many cases they did this decades ago, lost the paperwork.

61% of American adults support using nuclear power -- nearly a record high, and up six points since 2023.

“Time is not American business’ friend” fixed that for you bill. Every American business that relied on China…including American MANUFACTURERS who need parts from China…are scrambling and praying rn. Tick tock

If you love nuclear, you must know nuclear. If you know nuclear, you must respect nuclear. A new generation of nuclear enthusiasts have forgotten the lessons of the past. They have become cavalier. Nuclear energy is only safe when you respect its hazards.

I don’t believe in the Deep State anymore

2 things I believe: if you make it appreciate art of true quality, it doesn’t make any difference if you are alone. You have become more human. But conversely: if a bunch of humans come together to appreciate a piece of art, even if it sucks an have zero merit, they have also become more human.

Today I discovered that there are ppl in the US who think the terracotta soldiers are fake, just like there are ppl in China who think Ancient Greek civilization is fake. I believe they are actually the same type-of-guy. And that’s beautiful.

What a win!

The WH tweets a video demanding to sell beef to Australia. 🤦‍♀️ First of all, the US actually have a trade SURPLUS with Australia. Doesn’t matter:10% tariff for you! Secondly, the US can’t even satisfy domestic production for beef. Breaking the world economy to sell Australians beef we don’t have

Tariffs? I’ve got a story about tariffs. The year was 1986. Taiwan’s economy was booming and when the first made-in-Taiwan car, the Yulon came out, ppl were ecstatic! Unf, it wasn’t a great car. Ok…seems like the move to do some tariffs to give the Local Champion a chance to catch up. (1/3)

So here where I think we got really unlucky. Trump had 4 years OUT of office to think. And stew. And find new minions. He knew the levers of power and he had 4 whole years to figure out just how to jailbreak all the failsafes. In comparison a consecutive 2nd term would have been more normal.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Can we call it the anti-Orange Revolution if it keeps going?

We just stopped oil! No orange spray paint needed. Just orange man.

Actually military and energy experts agree: in an invasion scenario nuclear power would be a great asset for Taiwan and LNG its greatest liability. Even President Lai said in an emergency he would bring nuclear back. Are we close enough to an emergency now?

Holy shit TAIEX. Everybody got to go home real early as the ten percent drop circuit breaker hit just about every stock on the ticker. Short selling has been suspended by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Rare cross-straits solidarity breaking out over the Trump tariffs. Taiwan raised the white flag while China retaliated. “This is when I admire China” “You gotta say, good one, Xi.” “Although I hate the CCP, when it comes to this, I gotta say it feels good to see them strike back.”

Tariff or this? Tariffs! Tariff or this? Tariffs! Gen Z sorry you are screwed Gen Z sorry you are screwed Dying empire and an Apple pie Dying empire and an Apple pie Three more years — hate this! Three more years — hate this!

I just don’t get it! Porn is free and it’s out there. It just doesn’t make sense. Why does creators like Corinna have any pricing power at all? The laws of economics are getting broken.

Color me unimpressed about the “invasion barges”. Those things are sitting ducks unless the Chinese already achieved not only air superiority but cleared surrounding forests of HIMARS. If that all happens, Taiwan is cooked anyhow.

NEW ELEMENTAL: Estonia and two other Baltic countries (Latvia and Lithuania) finally broke away from the Russian grid this weekend and joined the EU grid. But now more than ever, they need to figure out their energy independence. Could nuclear be a part of the answer? t.co/QCtmGswMKq

Americans invented nuclear power. Americans dominated nuclear power. But we lost our edge. Time to dominate again. Great piece on how by retired engineer Joseph Somsel. www.americanthinker.com/articles/202...

Experimenting with a bolder makeup look and asked for feedback. ChatGPT roasted me😩

If Joe Biden fired 100 FAA employees and a plane crash happened just a few hours later, Fox News would bring Lou Dobbs back from the dead with wall-to-wall coverage blaming it on Biden.

Wow…can’t believe I got DeepSeek-R1 to admit the Tiananmen massacre. You have to download it to get it away from the censorship filters and ask it in a tricky way…

We stan @BuschEbba, our pragmatic 🇸🇪 queen! Speaking at the first-ever nuclear energy panel at the @wef, Deputy Prime Minister Busch laid out the atomic order of operations for Sweden: “What makes the most sense would be to start off with large conventional ones…”

Today in X:

Advocating for nuclear…MRT edition!

“Nuclear is the most strategically advantageous source of energy for Taiwan in a potential conflict with China” <== That is the opinion of Dr. Chieh Chung of the Institure of Defense and Security Research. More TK
