How the United States is eating Trump's tariffs U.S. companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the country's new import tariffs, early indications show, contradicting assertions by President Donald Trump and complicating the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation.

"Through the first months of Trump's new trade regime it is U.S. companies that are footing the bill for his tariffs, and passing on some of it to the consumer - with more price hikes likely..."

Average music fan carrying a $70 single bag of groceries past bored troops as their neighbor gets thrown in a van by masked men who just pepper sprayed a cop:

“Huh, I wonder why these songs about an NFL player’s big ol’ dick don’t feel as relatable as they usually do”

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Except I'm wrong - this view *just* catches the edge of the newly-discovered continent of ZEALANDIA: population 5.4 million, with only New Zealand, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island & Lord Howe Island now above sea level - just 5% of the original 4.9m square km (making it 64% the size of Australia).

I been a fan of Storm since her Destiny’s Child days…

X-Men: the Animated Series was her Writings on the Wall era.

Krakoa was Renaissance…her current solo book: Cowboy Carter.

Can’t wait to see what’s next.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

NEVER, I mean NEVER come for derek guy unless you know there’s not a chance you miss

But an oversimplification. I don't want watered down truths anymore.
And I certainly don't want lies.
I'll be spending more time at my local libraries.

Looking at birds, dinosaur mating dances must have been wild.
Vegetables are a culinary term not a scientific classification.
"Tree" and "fish" are also a classifications not a scientific terms.
I learned a lot of things in short amount of time and I feel like everything I learned was not a lie

So I was not expecting my tomatoes are fruit truth to turn into tomatoes are berries, but here we are.

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely...

This is a wild article to read if you have any experience holding a conversation

‘directors of major organisations warned that the proposed approach would undermine a fragile freelance ecosystem that depends on copyright to make a living…If policy tilts away from consent, the people most exposed are, once again, the freelancers who are the backbone of the creative industries.’

The issue I'm seeing is a technical one. They need to be just slightly lower than they all are.

The one who got the cup, but got her man on the joy swing back is my favorite. He thought he was safe.

I am so upset.

North America Nebula. Lots of red because of all of the hydrogen gas.

The universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism, y'all!

Last night's evidence:
1. North America Nebula (1 hour)
2. Andromeda (20 min)
3. Pac-Man Nebula (15 min)

The universe is basically just hydrogen, dark matter, and dark energy. Plus trillions upon trillions of perturbations lol

Don't call him that. Why would anyone do that?!

Sitting at this stupid desk, in this stupid office with the stupid air conditioner blowing even though it's less than 70 outside, screaming internally and wishing I could destroy everything like I'm in 90's-00's music video.

Use them for SPX students to practice controlled explosions.

You know, this is all just a (in their minds “really cool”) means of squeezing more labor out of people, their health and sanity be damned. Seriously, f*%k these people.
