Interesting piece which reveals a lot of the tech bro ignorance of government: DOGEr comes in, expects to find lots of inefficiency, is at least willing to acknowledge he was wrong unlike the hard core ideologues.

I love Tatum hate. And I don't really like the Celtics. But I love Joe Mazzulla for yelling at Tatum to get up while he was lying on the floor with an actually injured wrist.

So many games where one team leads by 10-20 for basically the entire game and then finds a way to lose in the last five minutes.

Combined record of teams that trailed by 7+ in final 48 seconds of 4th quarter or OT in the last 20 years is 3-1,679.

Haliburton had a pretty mediocre regular season, but started peaking at just the right time. It's totally bonkers that that they won the first two in Cleveland. I think Indiana might be 3-1 against Boston in the regular season.

Jon Voight pitched Donald Trump on a plan to “make Hollywood great again”—and by Sunday night, the president had declared a shock tariff on films made in "foreign lands," leaving studios reeling and the entertainment industry bracing for possible economic whiplash. https://www.status.news/p/donald-trump-jon-voight-hollywood-tariffs

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.

I am not paying attention to this. But was the special price essentially a way to disincentivize selling Berkshire stuff upon the news of his retirement?

I'm not dismissing anything, it's the behavior of a child but it's absolutely trolling.

He sees that picture and a part of him seriously says, "hey, why not?" That's why it's not mere trolling. He is a crazy person.

My response is to prefer to continue to emphasize that we have a power hungry lunatic as president rather than dismiss it as mere trolling, which it absolutely is not.

You reacting like that is the whole point

If so, Trump would turn down the opportunity to be pope. And anyone who thinks he would does not understand his nature.

This is interesting, at the bottom you can get an idea of impact by HTS code:

I'd consider buying an umbrella!!!

That's a great list!

This one looks like a major red flag. Based on what I've read, products with low margins like these are especially vulnerable to shortages.

Do you guys think the containers will be a flowing by fall again?

Based on what I've read from supply chain experts, if uncertainly lasts another month or two from now, there will definitely be major issues with back to school and holiday products.

So, probably not.

What essentials should I stock up on? Is toilet paper potentially an issue?

I don't know if it's more that Shedeur is really good or more that the entire offense is designed to make him look really good.

I guess we know which NFL teams think at this point in time.
