Clearly tariffs will hurt a lot of people and the larger economy. It will affect not just Americans but the entire world negatively this and probably even next year. This makes me sad, but the data analyst in me can't help but be curious about the long term results for the US. There's a leftist argument to bringing production to local regions (even though Trump's vision is obviously oligarchs controlling that production and not workers as it should be). I don't believe it will be positive long term either. I'm just curious to observe.

Hot take: I know the 😎 edgy techno-left 😎 position on copyright is "intellectual property is still property" but it's pretty lame for the techno-left to accept the narrative of capitalists abolishing the only type of property that can be produced by something everyone inherently owns, and no other property.

There's no universe where you, as a philosophically consistent person, are a utilitarian but not a socialist or communist.

How do Tesla investors feel about the chips stolen from Tesla to increase Elon's private companies' valuations? https://warpcast.com/chainleft/0x5e373e00

2022 UK study on effectiveness of accommodating right wing. Result: Unsuccessful, obviously. This is why the left tries abolishing lib establishment first. They're the first obstacle if we want to beat the right. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/political-science-research-and-methods/article/does-accommodation-work-mainstream-party-strategies-and-the-success-of-radical-right-parties/5C3476FCD26B188C7399ADD920D71770

An interesting trend since Trump's election is authoritarians around the world got emboldened. Another result of a shift in overton window. Imamoglu in Turkish secular opposition beat Erdogan's party three times (one got repeated after he won) in Istanbul where 20% of Turkish population lives. He had recently announced candidacy for presidency. He now joined Kurdish opposition leader Demirtas, as another high-profile politician in jail. https://www.politico.eu/article/tayyip-erdogan-main-rival-arrested-major-clampdown-turkish-opposition-ekrem-imamoglu/

Elon's financial shenanigans at the service of his ego is actually impressive. 1. Steal 10,000s of AI chops from Tesla 2. Build a data center for xAI using the chips (no paying customers) 3. Gift 25% of that data center to X 4. Sell X stock to friends along with other undisclosed gifts 5. Now X is valued back at $44b dollars 6. "Look at me, I don't run the business like an idiot, the valuation is the same" Meanwhile, his biggest simps, the Tesla meme investors: 🫠

I've visited 50+ countries, and Iranian (along with Cambodian) people were by far the nicest, most welcoming helpful ones. Iran is one of the most peaceful countries in the world and its perception is probably as distorted as it gets in the West: - Iran hasn't changed its borders for 400+ years - Iran has never bombed another country (until last year's retaliation to Israel) - In Tehran, many women don't wear headscarves (I can't vouch for other cities) - 50% of college graduates are women - Women participation in workforce is 19% (dropping with increasing unemployment due to sanctions). Low but higher than other Muslim countries - Independent international observers frequently controlled Iran's nuclear facilities and found zero enrichment activity required for developing weapons Trump is just dedicated to USA's colonial projects.

Israel is probably the only "country" in the world who can get away with killing 400 civilians overnight during a ceasefire. What happened yesterday in Gaza is yet another confirmation that this is a rogue state, arguably worse than North Korea.

Pretty remarkable to watch even moderate Dems finally turn on their right-wing leadership. They'll be welcome to the left when they decide to join, but they gotta catch up and learn from the left who's been 20 years ahead of them on every single topic.

Neither Newsom nor Buttigieg has any chance against Trump or another MAGA in 2028, unless they denounce their Democrat baggage. Can't expect popularity if you associate yourself with unpopular people like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Clintons and entities like AIPAC, big pharma & insurance, banks, etc.
