This island one is really funny.

I was just reading this article about it

The ending is so funny because it tells you what is going to happen without telling you.

The president-elect tried to ban the app during his first administration.

But his rhetoric on TikTok began to turn after he met in February with billionaire Jeff Yass, a Republican megadonor and a major investor in Bytedance.

Yass’ trading firm, Susquehanna International Group, owns a 15% stake in ByteDance while Yass maintains a 7% stake in the company, equating to about $21 billion, NBC and CNBC reported in March. That month it was also reported that Yass was a part owner of the business that merged with the parent company of Trump’s Truth Social.

I think expecting China to back the DPRK if they attacked South Korea is some real fantasy land stuff.

“We are not going to fall for a provocation of which country is better,” she said, adding that her country was increasingly being used as a political foil.

“Mexico should not be used as part of [Canadian] electoral campaigns,” she said.

Sheinbaum then dug deeper, adding that Canada “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has”, pointing out her country has civilizations dating back thousands of years.

"Fuck off puck sucker" Mexico style.

I have to admit the sentiment regarding the dead CEO was way more extreme than I expected, and I don't mean that in a bad. Just a little of the standard liberal scolding, but largely unanimous that he had it coming. Hope that pressure point keeps getting pushed on.

If he does this lol, this cooks EVERYTHING. The China stuff was already going to be bad, but a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada cooks so many US companies. Every car, home, appliance becomes 25% more expensive, overnight. If it happens, straight up China W. They don't have to do anything.

Yeah I agree, I don't think Trump has a huge problem with NK. It's like one of his few not terrible things actually.

The Nvidia party is not going to last forever, that fact that some people are still trying to ride the wave is actually wild to me. They got extremely lucky with cypto, covid and AI all dropping around the same time, but it's pretty easy to see where that is headed.

I'm at least feeling pretty good that the United States position globally probably going to be degrading pretty quickly. If Trump really goes in the paint on China, he could make it a lot worse really quick.

Sick. Dope. Viva Mexico. Morena and Amlo haven't been perfect, but they have moved so far in the right direction and Sheinbaum is looking pretty good so far.

This happens every year unfortunately.

Original System Shock

Also made captive audience meetings illegal, which are those forced anti union company presentations.

This campaign is going to be so fucking funny. He is so far away from reality and how much people are going to hate him. Case in point, he is announcing on a VOICE ONLY medium, which if you have ever heard DeSantis speak is a very bold gambit!

American explaining what they imagine to be treason:

"So imagine a soda recipe..."

I actually don't hate the movie because of Kevin Kline, but Dave is a huge libfest beginning to end.
