Happy birthday, little Jason Vorhees! Born Friday June 13th, 1946. The only deranged monster whose birthday we should be celebrating this weekend. And sure as shit not with a military parade. #Fridaythe13th #NoKings

Sad to hear that comic book writer Peter David has passed away. His 12 year run on The Incredible Hulk was epic! And his contribution to Marvel comics during his lengthy career cannot be overstated. He was one of us, and he will be missed.

Super7 just laid off staff in 16 states. They blame one thing: tariffs.
Game publishers are adding tariff surcharges. Apple’s being threatened with a 25% tariff unless they move iPhone production to the U.S.
This isn’t smart trade policy—it’s chaos.
💸 Tariffs I’ve paid so far: $1,864.

"I want to be clear that this reduction in staff is a direct result of the tariffs applied to our industry. The preceding six months before the tariff announcement had been Super7’s best since the inception of the company nearly 24 years ago. Then the landscape changed overnight."

Vietnam desperately wants Trump’s 46% tariffs lifted. They offered to reduce tariffs on US to zero, but that really won’t do much to change the trade deficit that Trump’s obsessed with. So they did this and approved Musk’s Starlink. Now expect a deal soon on tariffs for Vietnam.

When Grace Clements walked across the stage at her university’s commencement ceremony this week, she leaped onto the school president and gave him a giant bear hug — bringing him straight to the ground.

On Friday morning, not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic.
Six days ago, 41 vessels were scheduled to depart China for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. On Friday, it was zero. ZERO.

Time for another round of Tariff Talk—because when your government is actively working against you, you speak up.
NPR invited me to share my story earlier this week n.pr/3YCFh9I.
The Trump tariffs against China - imposed due to "unfair trade practices" - have so far cost my small business $1093.

Study links heavy drinking to brain injuries, Alzheimer’s
The researchers found that heavy drinkers had 133 percent higher odds of developing vascular brain lesions than those who never drank.
Consuming more than eight alcoholic drinks a week is associated with brain injuries linked to Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline, a recent study in the journal Neurology suggests.
