Trump in many of his outbursts says: "Why can't we have people from Norway?". Pretty soon the answer is going to be "People from Norway don't want to come because of Trump".

Edit: Also Norway's education and public health and many other similar things lacking for citizens of USA.

I feel this sums up the above sentiment quite well:

That's what happens when you don't look beyond your own nose. It happened to the Roman Empire too.

I recommend reading Mark Twain's dark period, roughly 1890-1900

“It is easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.”

“The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.”

“I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the ‘lower animals’… and I find the results humiliating to me.”

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.”

“There is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress.”

In a world filled with unrest and unpredictability, New Zealand stands as a safe and stable refuge. A secure haven, fully prepared for you and your family when you need it most.

The Billionaires and Their Doomsday Bunkers: Terravivos company that builds billionaire's bunkers
...
A 2018 Bloomberg report found that at least seven tech entrepreneurs had purchased bunkers down under Down Under. Even tech billionaire Peter Thiel has reportedly claimed a New Zealand passport in case he needs to decamp there. That’s assuming the end of the world allows plenty of time for a flight to the other side of the world.

(In reporting this article I reached out to multiple departments within the New Zealand government asking if New Zealand was wary or welcoming of high-net-worth individuals building shelters in the country, but no one was able to provide an answer.)

Biden commerce secretary to join Costco board as company sues over Trump's tariffs: NBC News

Costco Wholesale said Thursday that it has nominated Gina Raimondo, who served as commerce secretary under President Joe Biden, to its board of directors.
...
The announcement from Costco comes just days after the retail giant filed a lawsuit seeking a refund of tariffs it has paid this year under President Donald Trump’s country-specific tariff program.

The company also asked a trade court to prohibit the Trump administration from collecting any more of these customs duties.

The tariffs were imposed by Trump after he invoked emergency powers to bypass Congress. The administration claimed the president’s authority stemmed from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.

Trump’s use of this IEEPA authority to impose the tariffs is currently under review by the Supreme Court.

Trivial Pursuit 🙃

The Washington Post - Calibri font banished as U.S. diplomacy returns to Times New Roman

breaking!

A sans serif font, Secretary of State Marco Rubio just decreed, is simply inadequate for world-class diplomacy.

Rubio on Tuesday ordered the agency to immediately cease using the Calibri font and go back to Times New Roman in official communications, reversing another Biden administration policy intended to help employees who are visually impaired or have low-vision issues. ...

The typeface shake-up is the Trump administration’s latest unraveling of Biden administration actions.

Fiddling while Rome burns.

Tinkerisk:

The USA is only realising the dystopian crises and situations that Hollywood brought to the cinema in numerous films, in which the protagonists saved the world. That's why Donald sees himself as a kind of ‘Superman.’ Fortunately, I have already travelled to many different regions, because the USA will probably never see me again (but also because there are still other countries to visit).

I stopped watching any program - movie or TV series - that portrays police as good guys (e.g. The Rookie) or the US Armed Forces as the good guys (except WWII movies) because none of that is believable in the current state anymore.

quickymart: US President Donald Trump's administration is planning to order visa-exempt foreign tourists, including Australians [and Kiwis], to disclose their social media histories from the past five years before entering the country.

Yeah, so f_ck the USA, and the horse you rode in on.

Yes, they plan on getting people to make their social media accounts public.

Never mind some people might have those set to private because they are trying to escape domestic violence, stalkers and other abusers.

America, making the world unsafe one step at a time.

Imagine how many decades it will take for the USA to undo all this shit and recover the time lost in crap moves like the above, or the destruction of agencies by DOGE?

Fortunately, Elon's influence has largely faded (even next-to-no news about his own vanity political party as of late) - just a pity about all the mess he left behind.

As to the font changing nonsense - this brings down prices...how?
