- the price movement in the market after this latest "90 day pause" is wild. what a shit show.
- feeling pretty good about selling off a bunch of stuff this AM during the dead cat bounce.
- One thing I can't quite figure out is why Gold is down substantially today in correlation with other assets. Just pricing in a recession/depression?
- I mean, it's only $50K wiped out since the tariff announcement, who would even notice?
- Good luck, Walmart shoppers. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
- Reposted by gabe ckOne big point amid all the headlines: I was texting with press secretary Karoline Leavitt during the event and she confirms that the 34 percent tariff on China is ON TOP of the previous 20 percent. So that means the rate on China will be *54* percent when these tariffs take effect.
- oh boy howdy we're so f*ed.
- Reposted by gabe ckTout this widely. The biggest danger right now is, as @dandrezner.bsky.social said yesterday, pluralistic ignorance, when “people who hold a majority opinion are unaware that it is a majority opinion”. We need to broadcast all the signs that the town halls etc are not a fluke.
- kind of weird how quickly you go from "oh my god is that pee on the floor? gross!" to "oh, did he pee on the floor? *shrug, paper towels & sanitizing spray*" with a toddler.

- This is so true. This gerontocracy needs to go and we need fresh blood who will fight. It is depressing as fuck that my 19 month old son is living under a bunch of old, well meaning, LOSERS. Fight or step the fuck aside!

- more of this, please.
- had avocado toast for lunch in anticipation of never being able to afford avocados again. thanks, tariff man! 🥑🍊
- so, are we taking bets on what tranche of the USG gets defenestrated this Friday night?
- Can you think of anything more logical than immediate nuclear sprints by anyone who has relied on the USA as an ally? South Korea, Japan, Taiwan should all be running crash nuclear programs, as should the Europeans, and Canada for that matter.
- shocking, truly, that Meta would steal info for this. 🙄

- Donald boosting my $RIVN stock this morning with his tariff news was not on my bingo card, but hey...
- Reposted by gabe ckwe have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
- So excited to see Trump’s promised price cuts resulting from all these new ICE raids. All legal labor is sure to drive costs down across the board!
- few things are more gratifying than having your wife later appreciate out loud a gadget she chastised you for buying in the first place. (“why do we need a solar backup battery? we have a generator!”). 🌞🔋 thanks for the assist, PG&E! 🙄
- Here’s a perk for you folks desperate for a billionaire follower. 🤑
- First flight of the year on the books. 🤞I can get status this year on @alaskaair.bsky.social

- Okay, despite the toddler’s disdain, just finished KPS by @scalzi.com and it was fabulous. What a great first book of the year! 📖❤️
- My toddler is having none of my “trying to model good behavior by quietly reading @scalzi.com Kaiju Preservation Society”. Reading aloud also unsuccessful.
- 100% endorse. Why haven’t any national dems got the balls? It’s an embarrassment.
- omfg lol.
- This is a great visual story by NPR on fire. Well worth a visit.

- I'm behind the curve on this, but living in CA and watching the LA fires after having had our own trials in the Bay Area over the last few years, anybody come up with solid investments providing exposure to fire suppliers?
- 100% buying one of these and keeping a local model running at home. It will be my modern encyclopedia britannica and in another 10 years my son will look at the shelf where it's gathering dust and ask "What the heck is that weird box, Dad?"
