Trump’s Easter message of love, delivered with his customary dignity and civility. 😉
Nothing says "leader of superpower" more clearly than a sweary tantrum on social media delivered like a drunken redneck whose truck has run away with his third wife.
If Trump hadn't already won this war 11 times, I'd be worried that he wasn't doing so well. 🙄

🎵 Oh look, an #AI throws a #tantrum because it thinks it's the next Beethoven of #copyright claims! Meanwhile, #JavaScript needs a nap and your #browser just can’t even. Maybe next time, blame it on the rain! ⛈️

The flabbergastingly-incompetent "We're voluntarily dismissing our appeal of this dog of a case." / "No we're not" duelling motions from the US DoJ kindergarten theatre of yesterday and today just *screams* of the following sequence of events:
1. Senior DoJ attorneys trying to formulate the appeal of the loss in the original case (which, as you'll recall, is about Trump illegally and arbitrarily punishing law firms he doesn't like) know they have an impossible task - there's nothing they can say that will justify the appeal in a legal sense.
2. They write it up as "We should drop the case" and send it up the chain.
3. A manager/supervisor/<title>-in-charge approves it.
4. It slides by Bondi's desk without notice. She's busy screaming about the Dow-Jones anyways.
5. They file the motion.
6. It gets coverage on TV news, including Fox.
7. Trump sees this, picks up the phone and screams at Bondi demanding the punishment continue.
8. You Are Here.This really is the #stupidest #timeline.

The “California Billionaire Tax Act”,
often referred to simply as the #billionaire #tax,
is a proposalthat would require any California resident worth more than $1bn to pay a
one-off, 5% tax on their assets to help cover education, food assistance and healthcare programs in the state.It’s sponsored by the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West,
and if it receives enough signatures from California voters, it will go to the ballot in November.When the proposal was put forward at the end of last year,
many among tech’s billionaire elite threw a #tantrum.Some opened offices or bought mansions in Florida or Texas,
vowing to leave California for good.
The fleeing rich included Palantir co-founder Peter #Thiel,
whose current net worth is $25bn;
Google co-founders Larry #Page and Sergey #Brin,
worth around $255bn and $240bn respectively;
and Donald Trump’s AI and crypto czar, David #Sacks,
whose net worth is not publicly known.Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Meta CEO
Mark #Zuckerberg,
worth $229bn, has also bought a property in south Florida valued between $150 and $200m.Thiel has additionally led the charge in donating to a lobbying group, the "California Business Roundtable",
which has pledged to fight the wealth tax.The Palantir co-founder handed over $3m to the political action committee in late December.
Other major donors include realtors, entrepreneurs and private equity firms.
James #Siminoff, who founded the camera-embedded Ring doorbell company, also donated $100,000, according to public records.“The most powerful money in politics is to be on the no-side of a ballot measure,” said #McCuan.
“You can even pre-empt something getting to the ballot, like a billionaire’s tax,
by explaining to everyone out there that this is a bad idea for economic growth.”Tech investors and venture capitalists have been extremely vocal in their opposition to the tax,
saying that the state will lose revenue as billionaires flee and it will hurt the state’s ability to be economically competitive.Just this week, Chamath #Palihapitiya, a former Facebook executive and current venture capital investor, wrote
“the loss of this tax revenue was totally avoidable but is now forever”.
#Balaji #Srinivasan, an investor and former chief technology officer of Coinbase, wrote,
“the most successful tech founders of all time have now exited the failed state of California”.Adding on, Paul #Graham, the co-founder of seed capital firm Y Combinator, wrote:
“It’s important that people like Zuck and Larry Page are willing to move in response to the proposed wealth tax.
It shows politicians what will happen if they try things like this.”Joining the billionaires, #Newsom has pledged to fight the tax, saying it will “drive a race to the bottom” and stifle innovation as the ultra-wealthy leave.
“This will be defeated – there’s no question in my mind,” Newsom told the New York Times in January.
“I’ll do what I have to do to protect the state.”

Thanks, everyone, for the thoughts and comments and favourites and such.
George would like you to know he is NOT HAPPY with having to go to the doctor again, and that he needs MORE TREATS to make up for it.

#Trump's latest diarrhea "truth" about the Gordie Howe #bridge, and how he wants to block its opening until (paraphrasing) he owns half of it and (literal quote) “the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, #Canada treats the United States with the #Fairness and #Respect that we deserve” can have only one response:
"Fuck you, Donnie."
If the #Canadian government negotiates with the #USA over this... if we even dignify it with a response, as if it was a reasonable concern ... if we, as a country, do *anything* that even hints at his #tantrum being any kind of #reasonable argument, then we have failed.
"Fuck you, Donnie."
#Bullies don't understand anything except pushback, and when they get that, they fold.
"Fuck you, Donnie."
That should be our position on every demand he makes and every overwrought complaint he vomits out into the #MAGAsphere.
T: "Canada's treated us badly."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Canada better keep buying the #F35 or they'll regret it!"
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Doing business with #China, we're not going to allow that."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "Canada's going to have to cooperate with us on my fabulous Golden Dome."
"Fuck you, Donnie."
T: "I'm going to #tariff Canada!"
"Fuck you, Donnie."
He's going to do what he's going to do. He can't be reasoned with, he won't honour his own word so you can't trust any "deal" with him.
"Fuck you, Donnie."

So, all the folks who scoffed at "special snowflakes" who needed "participation trophies"...
...ended up electing the biggest snowflake in history who needs the world's biggest participation trophy to keep from blowing up the Earth.
If we survive this, there are two things we should learn as a species:
1. Tell your kids "no" early and often.
2. If you want to keep a democracy, you must provide free, effective education for EVERYONE who will be eligible to vote. Don't allow populist demagogues to take over your nation because a plurality of voters were too stupid to see through the lies. -

NURSE: Terrible is the temperament of royalty,
Who are rarely controlled, always imperious;
It is hard for them to give up their wrath.
To get used to living like everybody else
Is better.

Ember is in full spoiled brat mode at the moment.
The wind is blowing, make it stop.
The sun is in my eyes, make it go away.
That weed is just wrong, get rid of it.
That man is too close to my dinner, make him leave.And I have decided she needs to re assess her boundaries. So I've started dancing and singing at dinner time.
She's not impressed but I don't care.

The latest tantrum by the orange-utan in the White House got me thinking, and now I'm wondering if it's just coincidence that "stable genius" is an anagram for oh so many apropos phrases.
I mean, "Anuses Be Gilt" is just a little *too* on the nose.

The latest tantrum by the orange-utan in the White House got me thinking, and now I'm wondering if it's just coincidence that "stable genius" is an anagram for oh so many apropos phrases.
I mean, "Anuses Be Gilt" is just a little *too* on the nose.

President Trump’s administration announced sanctions on the president of Colombia, intensifying a clash with the Latin American country over alleged drug trafficking, Bloomberg reports.
Trump has assailed Colombian President Gustavo Petro as an “illegal drug leader,” accusing him of allowing narcotics trafficking to flourish under his reign and threatening to impose U.S. sanctions on Colombian exports.

Anger’s a short frenzy, curb thy Soul,
And check thy rage, which must be rul’d or rule:
Use all thy Art, with all thy force restrain,
And take the strongest Bit, and firmest Rein.

'#Norway braces for #Trump’s reaction if he does not win #Nobel'
Recommendation:
Get the biggest #diaper you can find -
The dementia patient is dissembling freely again:
> "Without Tariffs, and all of the TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS we have already taken in,
> our Country would be completely destroyed, and our military power would be
> instantly obliterated"Trillions? The actual figure for the whole of this administration is around 100 billion - and that's including tariffs, customs / duty, and excise taxes that existed pre-tantrum.
He's mad judges have correctly ruled that his (limited) authority to levy tariffs in an emergency doesn't just let him do anything and everything he wants, forever.
Someone please take the phone away from grandpa. He needs to sleep.

What? For real? Apple has its problems. But users rate the apps Elon. If your app has a low rating, maybe it just sucks. He needs to grow up and act like a fuctioning adult at this point.

Trump's latest #tantrum about Canada is nominally about our digital services tax.
But I don't buy it. That's been known about since long before the orange moron was elected.
I'm guessing the bit that has actually irritated him / the evil mastermind with a hand up his ass [1] is Canada's likely decision to scrap it's F-35 military jet purchase, and instead go with the Saab Gripen (which has been publicly acknowledged to be under consideration for some time, but which was almost certainly discussed during the NATO summit this past week).
The #Gripen is *far*, far cheaper to build, and even more dramatically cheaper to operate. The estimated per-flying-hour cost of the Gripen is $4,700 (Jane's, 2012). The F-35 figure from the same report estimates $26,000 for the (land-based) F-35A, and $38,000 for the carrier-VTOL F-35B/C.
There's also the benefit that the Gripen would be co-made in Canada, with #Saab locating factories and working with Canadian suppliers..
The US military-industrial complex is *not* happy with their disappearing export markets and their untold billions of dollars of revenue going down the tubes due to the rest of the world realizing that the USA is no longer a stable, reliable partner or even ally, and that buying weapons from them no longer makes any sense.
[1] as in puppeteer, not anything ... oh

Someone please put this #lunatic in a straight jacket. This #felon has caused #undue and #unnecessary #turmoil and #damage to markets and #anxiety to many people like #retirees who depend upon #stable and #steady #financial environment to protect their life's #investment.

"The #grifters that make up the #troll-industrial complex are not okay.
"One can see the sheen of #desperation in the #world of self-identified #conservatives who make a living by "triggering" the #liberals. The usual dose of outrage bait isn't working as well any longer, so the #rightwingers are escalating the provocations. Tucker #Carlson, for example, gave a glow-up interview with manosphere "influencer" Andrew #Tate, who is being held in #Romania on charges of sex #trafficking and #rape. #DailyWire anti-trans provocateur Matt #Walsh is selling plushies of himself clad only in a diaper, which he encourages #people to give to #children. Daily Wire founder Ben #Shapiro, on the other hand, made a nearly hour-long video #tantrum about "#Barbie," complete with setting the dolls on fire. The clawing need to get attention from #progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

"The escalation of shock value tactics, on both the right and the pretending-not-to-be-right political classes, are likely rooted in the same cause: The slow motion collapse of #Twitter, now rebranded "#X," under the leadership of #Tesla CEO Elon #Musk. While these folks have various outlets, both in the #media and #socialmedia, ultimately their #business model of #trolling depends heavily on Twitter.
"Grifters need people to harass and a mainstream discourse to counter. As traffic takes a nosedive and Twitter becomes less a part of the conversation, it's going to be harder for these folks to make #money," Melissa #Ryan, a strategist who helps counter online #disinformation, told #Salon.
"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters #desperate"
The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.
"What Musk has proven through his actions and his statements is that he's committed to serving the trolls and the #fraudsters first and the ordinary good faith users second," explained Brian Hughes of American #University, who is the co-founder of the Polarization and #Extremism #Research and Innovation Lab (#PERIL). But, he noted, Musk is "blinded by his own #ideology" and can't see how this is backfiring. "As normal people, for lack of a better term, continue to leave Twitter, that's actually going to cause probably a reduction in the use of the platform by these trolls and these fraudsters. They don't have their audience of targets that they need," he continued.
