UPDATE: the battery fire obviously didn't help, but according to new reporting it turns out that the Cybertruck really did trap the victims inside.

I read this article by Yanis Varoufakis that provides well reasoned explanation and criticism of Trump's plan: https://unherd.com/2025/02/why-trumps-tariffs-are-a-masterplan/

Somehow, the possibility that a plan exists is reassuring.

If you can afford the down payment, it really makes a lot more sense to buy your home than rent it.

It beats having a landlord.

Every day; all sorts of stuff from simply feeding people to high level assassinations, including a POTUS. Anarchism is a means by which the people can embarrass the government and compel corrective action to its deficiencies.

For a while, that's probably how I would have sorted myself, but how are the anarcho-syndicalists on taking power from capital and wielding it? How does that differ from Lenin's guidance? (Part of why I don't call myself an anti-Leninist is that I haven't read any Lenin lol.)

Maybe anarchists are necessary to help keep the revolutionary state honest. However, I don't know if I'd go so far as to call myself an anti-Leninist.

Yes, include a disclaimer and consider using the Peer Production License as well, which compells for-profit, non-cooperative developers to compensate you for using your work.

Loyalty comes in different forms. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

There was never any long-standing taboo against meeting and negotiating with governments of allied countries. It's always been "we do not negotiate with terrorists", with Hamas being among the worst, but here we are, finally.

I think an important difference is that Hamas has been prevailing against Israel and they haven't done anything directly against Trump as far as I can recall. Ukraine is not doing well against Russia and Zelensky had supported the Biden and Harris during the election. Trump has a distain for disloyal losers, and Netanyahu's loyalty is hardly a sure thing.

The lesson that university administrations will probably fail to learn is that it's better to stand up for your students from the start rather than give in to political demands to violently punish them over baseless allegations of antisemitism.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but does anyone else think it's a good sign that he decided to negotiate directly with Hamas?

What a nightmare. Imagine discovering your dead wife over and over again for a whole week.

Probably some Italian gibberish.

Calls on Generac?

Oh no.

Lol
