Do y'all remember when MAGA went ballistic because they thought US citizens weren't getting enough help when Biden followed Trump's negotiated pullout from Afghanistan?

A data point for any US credit card holders who are thinking about using Amazon's currency converter for purchases in foreign currencies.
On the left is a purchase through the Amazon Currency Converter ($64.51)
On the right is the purchase through the AMEX Currency Converter ($62.93)
The list is considerably longer, but I hit the character limit.

I'm not surprised this is happening, but it's curious that it's starting THIS soon.
Getting involved w/Time Warner had been a disaster for AOL (2001), Yahoo/Verizon (2003), WarnerMedia (2014), AT&T (2018), HBO/Turner/Discovery (2022).

Remember when Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in his first term?
He was catering to a sizeable group of evangelical Trump supporters who think HE will bring about Armageddon, which comes only after the restoration of Jerusalem.

If you have credit card debt and are only paying the monthly minimums, you should NOT be using doordash.

I know that seems random, but I've been answering emails from former parishioners that are drowning in CC debt while paying for foolish luxuries.

Trump tried using Executive Orders to retaliate against law firms who hurt his feelings.
He just threw in the towel.

Remember when MAGA was all about catching child-predators, reducing the national debt, decreasing the cost of living and NOT starting new wars?

Turn off the Internet for 24 hours.
Don't doom scroll.
Don't watch any reels, feeds or shorts.
Ignore notifications and requests.
...
We are in the age of information wars & everything is designed to put you on tilt.
Take a deep breath.
Think about what you value.
Come back tomorrow.
Yes.

Hey... uh... if you're the person who left your Apple Vision Pro in St. Peter's I'd like to help get it back to you. 😇
It might take a few weeks.
In the meantime, could I get your password so I can make sure it's still working properly? 😏

Anthropic:
"Look, we need the contracts, but we cannot allow our service to be used to violate the US Constitution or power automated weapons that could kill millions.
When it comes down to it, we love this country too much to be involved in its downfall."
OpenAI:
"We'll do it!"
Consider:
When the President of the United States claims that Anthropic is a national security risk because they
*checks notes*
won't allow mass surveillance of US citizens in violation of the Constitution
... maybe the REAL national security risk is the President?

I'm glad you're still with us.
Take time. Be patient. That's a lot of change in a very short time.
Be gentle with yourself... because the world is better with you in it.
I WAS planning on getting things done today, but then this happened... and that was pretty much my day. 🥰

With any other administration, I'd trust it to hand out exemptions on a case-by-case basis.
With an administration that has already proven that they're willing to bend policy for personal gain... ($220m for a media campaign, $10b here and there) I don't trust it at all.
Now, just because it will be difficult to do, I still think it has to be done.
What I'm concerned about is that as these realities sink in, and big data looks at a DECADE of build-out, they'll start asking for exemptions from the policy.
