Something I appreciate about Thailand is that particle board furniture hasn't really arrived here.

All the furniture is solid wood and heavy as hell.

The table at the cafe is made from old apparently indestructible window shutters.

CONCACAF is never not like this. Yes, it's enraging.

But if you don't conceed a goal on the first corner of the match, it's an entirely different game and series.

That's two set piece goals surrendered in rougly 120 minutes against Tigres.

Don't like that.

Tears of the Kingdom Object permanence is the ability to understand that objects and events endure

This is the fruit of my weekend misery.

Credit to Trump's Truth dot org for archiving the man's rantings and ramblings as a public service.

The most powerful person on the planet seems lack a sense of object permanence.

He rages on Truth Social deep into the night but somehow expects us to forget the nuttery the next day.

We've normalized it but it's anything but normal.

So really, Detroit automakers don't GAF about the people at the lower end of the income scale because fancier cars have higher margins.

But the government is charging those same people the automakers have foresaken tariffs that help keep Detroit in business.

Why did you do this to me, Anne?!

We tariff Chinese cars that are better and cheaper than their US counterparts to protect them from competition.

Okay fine, I kept reading and another big part of the answer is also tariff related and buried in paragraph twenty-three.

China makes the cars the author is talking about but US tariffs keep them out of the market.

I stopped reading when the author explained that car repair costs rose 15% last year due to "the complexity of modern sensors and labor shortages" rather than citing the disastrous impact of tariffs on imported parts.

I spent some time today reading through the 130+ posts the President made on Truth Social from April 5-12.

Good Lord.

I wouldn't trust someone who posted like that to wash my windows.

I agree with the sentiment and end result here but the claim that "rumors aren't publishable" by media doesn't withstand scrutiny.

The U.S. military said on Sunday that it would blockade any ships “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas,” but said it would allow other ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz, hours after President Trump had said the United States would fully block the economically vital waterway.

The blockade on Iranian ports would begin on Monday at 10 a.m. Eastern time, U.S. Central Command said in a statement posted on social media, adding that U.S. “forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.”

The Pentagon spent the day turning the President's ramblings on social media into a more coherent policy —an escalation that will likely end the one week-old (supposed fourteen day) ceasefire.

Breaking Up with Google Search Today's newsletter is a bit of a hodgepodge. Hope and I are back in Tacoma and spending quality time with family along with attending our usual events and...

These was no newsletter this weekend because life was lifing on me.

But here's an earlier edition where I made the case for breaking up with Chrome and Google Search.

The US President is now threatening to blockade the body of water he was just negotiating to reopen because his poorly planned war caused it to close.

They're blockading their own blockade.

Now is a great time to dump Chrome and Google Search.

Many great alternatives for each exist that won't serve you ads from scammers or drown you in AI slop results.

The operating heuristic for the current moment is that things will always be the stupidest version of what they can be. This has yet to be shown to be a suboptimal organizing principle.
