Did you vote for this? Live in Singapore. Daughter lives in US Got her birthday present for her and went down to ship it to her. Guess what? Trump eliminated the de minimis exemption, SingPost will not longer accept parcels to the U.S. And her gift is tariffed
Was disappointed, and a little discouraged, that when I shared a photo from a black water dive, the response form my friend was, “Looks Like AI”
This is what autocrats say and do. Some threats he intends to carry out, others are just meant to intimidate to produce a change in behavior caused by fear. Every day we move closer to autocracy. Who will be fearless & fight, who will ignore it and hide, & who will bend the knee?
Please share this widely, my friends in software engineering. Will use in series of articles. What is piece of hard won advice you have for the next generation of software developers? What is one negative “smell” about a project that has never failed? And a positive “smell”?
Yep. As demanded by the allies at Postdam and signed onboard the Missouri, it was an “unconditional surrender” As a convenience and courtesy, to help the occupation go easier, McArthur with Truman’s concurrence, allowed the Emperor to become a figurehead in the post-war government.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”
Hey, @google @googlemaps something is really wrong in Singapore. Third time in 24 hours where you give me instructions which make zero sense. No way I should get off at Bird Paradise if going to the zoo.
"To establish an authoritarian gov't, you need to capture the Justice Dept, the intelligence community, and the Defense Dept, and this is why loyalists were put in as the heads of all of these...institutions so that they will do the things like we're seeing right now." @radiofreetom.bsky.social
And this is the same administration that pardoned hundreds of violent felons who assaulted law enforcement officers in the Capitol!
@instagram really misses an opportunity by neither allowing me to save an ad nor share it to my stories. See something cool. Checked it out, but will act ok it later. Cannot. See an ad for an event. Want to ask my story who wants to go. Cannot
BRUTAL: Producer Price Index (PPI) surges to 3.3% YoY in July, far exceeding expectations. Core PPI up 3.7%. Trump’s tariffs on imports are driving up wholesale costs, signaling even higher prices for consumers.

How Trump Helped Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell Get Special Treatment & a Transfer Trump helps notorious pedophiles like Ghislaine Maxwell but is perfectly fine unleashing the National Guard on Washington, D.C. It's a great time to be the worst human being on Earth. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
Not sure But he may already have that authority under existing rules
The rules are what a majority vote of the assembly say they are… The House in Congress and the States is almost autocratic
In discussions of the behaviour of the current U.S. government, be it ICE or DC policing, all of its supporters should keep this in mind: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” — Benjamin Franklin
If - and I think this is a big “if” - sales of AI chips were truly a national security issue, how does the U.S. Government getting a 15% cut remove the risk? It doesn’t. And the fact that @nytimes & @WSJ isn’t calling this out is ridiculous.
He only wants one, because Obama got one.

Blatantly illegal and corrupt Soon the government will require a license - hey, just 15% of your revenues - in order to sell a product. Incredible! No matter how you slice it, it is an export duty, which is unconstitutional. Just another Trump Tax!
I like this mental model in how to think about engineering (including software engineering). It is a combination of building stuff for production, crafting, commercial production and science. From the book Software Architecture by Mary Shaw and David Garlan
The Speaker does have authority to enforce the rules. He can levy civil fines against members Civil disobedience is a powerful tool. But much of its power comes from the willingness to accept unjust punishments while pursuing the goal of justice
All of the penicillin in use worldwide comes from a strain of mold that was growing on a cantaloupe bought at a grocery store in Peoria, Illinois in 1942.
they’re not wrong. lies and fearmongering literally led to this. it’s pizzagate all over again.
Another thing that needs a spotlight: that the antivax rhetoric & conspiracy theories about the CDC (and covid vaccines) were started by the crackpot profiteer who is now Secretary of HHS and his propaganda org, Children’s Health Defense

I am not I am saying that if it is a choice between A Democrat and a MAGA, I will vote for the Democrat I am through with purity tests and the purity police that put Trump in the White House
Given that there is no Federal jurisdiction here, this is going to get very interesting…. The lawlessness grows
Many raised major concerns about the creation of DHS and in the post-9/11 hysteria and paranoia, they were dismissed. And what we see now is worse than what was imagined
I live in the real world And understand that politics is the art of the possible. And I see the harm that was caused by those who insisted on “punishing the Democrats” over Gaza. They were warned what would happen both to Gaza and other fronts and they didn’t care.
Oh, thank you for committing to support another four years of MAGA.
The mind worm of unbound and unnuanced American exceptionalism makes it impossible for the average American to understand there is a world where everyone else does not need or want to do business with the U.S. And I think it is closer than the average American realizes.
It’s mind boggling how many additional people this administration is killing. “I have been in this business for over 50 years on the front lines of public health…And I can say unequivocally that this was the most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.”
"Trump was the assiduous curator of the paranoid theories, hatreds, and obsessions of others. His attention to the fringes of popular culture, and his recognition of just what tidbits appeal most to resentful white baby boomers like himself, has long been second to none."

You won’t find much sympathy in this part of the world (Asia outside Japan) for Japan with respect to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The miracle how both sides have seen things heal since the end of the war
500K to 1 million allied and 5 million to 10 million Japanese (military and civilian) deaths. Approximately 215K died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Horrific? Yes. But when considered in the balance, reasonable.
The War in the Pacific had already seen 200K allied and 2 million Japanese causalities between December 1941 and the bombing of Hiroshima Iwo Jima saw 7k allied and 22k Japanese deaths. Okinawa saw 12k allowed and 100k Japanese and Okinawa civilian deaths. The invasion of Japan anticipated

From December 13, 1937 through January 1938 the Rape of Nanjing occurred with the Imperial Japanese Army slaughtering 100,000 to 300,000 innocent civilians. From February 18 to March 4, 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army committed the Sook Ching Massacre in Singapore, slaughtering 25,000 to 50,000.

When will people realize that any yahoo can go and buy a “police vest” from China on Temu and wear it. If they won’t identify themselves, they aren’t police. If they won’t give name and badge number they aren’t poo is. This is actual law.
And they keep saying, “Just follow the law…” And yet, ICE ignores and breaks the law…
South Korea unveiled an extra budget worth billions of dollars, in a bid to support an economy struggling with sluggish consumption and mounting trade headwinds from Donald Trump’s tariffs.
No uniforms, no badges, no names, no warrants These are just gangbanger wannabes and should be met with the force allowed in your state
I see a lot of clear lawbreaking here in this video and none of it is coming from Brad Lander. ICE is out of control and several of these agents need to be under criminal investigation. Being a federal agent does not give you unlimited jurisdiction and does not allow you to break the law.
So, it was the right and proper thing to do last week, but now it isn’t? Explain to me like I am five years old…
Many folks in America claim to revere and honor the Constiutuon and yet support Trump. You cannot do both. Pick one or the other. And if it’s Trump, be clear you reject the Constitution as just a piece of paper that can be ignored, rather than a document that protects all Americans, including you
U.S. Senator assaulted by ICE in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 351 See, @nytimes that is how you report this… And Secretary Noem has the chutzpah to blame it on him not id-ing himself? When her ICE agents wear masks, no badges, and refuse to id themselves? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/u...
When people say they shouldn't have to pay for digital entertainment because not paying for PDFs or MP3's or etc. is a way to strike a blow against capitalism, what they are revealing is that their version of anti-capitalism is about feeling progressive while exploiting other people's labor.

Trump believes Constitution does not apply to him and ignores his oath of office by refusing to be bound by Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: the “Take Care Clause,” which states that the President “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”
