“The Trump administration is exploring legal options to cancel loans issued under a $400 billion program to finance clean-energy technology as it considers overhauling the initiative.”

Wouldn’t canceling these loans be illegal? The Trump admin is lawless & corrupt.

Politicians often frame #tariffs like those Trump proposed as punishment for other countries, but they hit Americans hardest—raising grocery bills and disrupting businesses. An economics professor explains: buff.ly/40EOQVM (Bedassa Tadesse, University of Minnesota Duluth)
in reply to The Conversation U.S.

This is true of already developed countries, but China and South Korea both used them when they were much earlier in development to great effect. Obviously they're bad for the US in all but extreme cases (e.g. dumping, human rights violations)
in reply to The Conversation U.S.

This is a thing an economics professor would notice.

This is not a thing a businessman with six bankruptcies under his belt would notice.



President Donald Trump said the U.S. would take over the war-ravaged Gaza Strip and develop it economically after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere,

If Palestinians are to be rehomed to enrich Trump, then it's only fair that the US take them in. Give them Florida.
Or:
Wyoming;
West Virginia;
North Dakota;
Oklahoma;
Idaho.
Any red state could probably do with a decent population refresh.

If you're looking for a full featured #peertube client that is simple and offers full functionality that the current official app lacks, like following the instance of your choice, and in my case seeing subscriptions from my personal server, give #p2play a go, you can get it on #fdroid f-droid.org/packages/org.libre…

I emphasize simple, with a familiar interface as a typical #YouTube client

Hello, Mastodon family! It's been a long time coming, but Xubuntu has officially left X behind!

x.com/Xubuntu/status/188675427…

If you're still using X, consider sharing our update to spread awareness. We'll continue to bring you the best of #Xfce and #Linux... all in one place.

(edit: because everything is confusing and nothing makes sense... we're leaving X, formerly known as Twitter, not X11. Wayland is still very much in the future!)






Canada: One negotiation with Trump, done. On to Round 2


Summary

Trump granted Canada a 30-day tariff delay after Prime Minister Trudeau agreed to boost border security and designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations.

However, Trump is already pushing for further economic concessions, including changes in dairy, auto, and banking regulations.

His repeated comments about annexing Canada have sparked controversy but lack political support in either country.

The tariff threats rattled markets, briefly lowering stocks before rebounding. With another deadline looming, Canada faces continued uncertainty as Trump’s administration signals more aggressive trade demands.

Canada should tell trump to pound sand, enact the sanctions they were going to do. Quit bowing to the orange turd
in reply to MicroWave

A brief reminder, uncertainty, rapidly changing stances, and blustering the whole time is a pretty accurate synopsis of Trump's last term. Why would we expect anything different this time?



It kind of blows my mind that during their 90s heyday, I was buying CDs for like $15-$16 dollars, but in 2025, most cost $12-$13.

To note, $15 in 1995 is the equivalent of just about $31 in 2025.

It's weird how owning music has gotten cheaper but concerts have CEO-pay-level spiked in cost.
