Saw Afghanistan also got a 10% tariff, meaning that all of Starmer's schmoozing and kissing boot only made him as popular as the Taliban

2025-04-08 07:00:10 +0000 UTCListening to this reminded me of the dumbest guy I met at a party who bragged about pre-ordering a cybertruck he absolutely couldn't afford because he believed he could sell the pre-order slot to a Tesla enthusiast, he also talked about almost getting fired/arrested for bringing out brass knuckles during a fight at a bar he was working at

2025-04-07 18:35:32 +0000 UTCthe starmer "i dont talk about my family" thing is a funny parallel with embattled nz pm luxon, who constantly said during the campaign "dont talk about my wife, we're very private" then rolls her out for a photo op every week on instagram when a new scandal hits

2025-04-05 11:53:57 +0000 UTCRiley might be on to something with the ChatGPT origin of the tariffs. Newsweek is reporting (well repeating things people have said on Twitter/Bluesky) that the tariff plan is what you get if you ask ChatGPT to fix US trade deficits using tariffs. Including the fact that you get back uninhabited Islands in the result. I don't know if this is true but it's a terrifying thought that western governments are going to start putting glue on their pizzas.

2025-04-04 23:51:49 +0000 UTC“Tesla has taken a reich turn” is my favorite quote of the week, if not the month or possibly year. I really want to meet the guy who is enthralled with the CyberTruck. Yeah, who didn’t think a Nazi salute at the inauguration would hurt the stock price and/or the resale value? I don’t have anything to do with the company or its products and even I knew that wasn’t going to turn out well.

I've gotten some great recommendations from the show and would love to get a list of books the hosts have found helpful and instructive.
