Beer cans, helium balloons and mortgages: An unexpected mix of things affected by war It's not just oil and gas that are affected by the Iran war. All sorts of shortages and price spikes are starting to pop up that stand to affect people's daily lives.

“The Iran war has been catastrophic for global oil and gas supplies, sending prices soaring. Drivers are paying a steep price at the pump every time they fuel up.”

Even 🍺 cans. Thanks Trump

MAGA Is Winning Its War Against U.S. Science When a political movement believes that ignorance is strength

open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

“MAGA’s combination of rabid anti-intellectualism and allergy to any hint of criticism, and one has the makings of a drastic anti-science turn in policy. “Ignorance is strength” might was well be an official MAGA motto.”

The Terrorist in Chief It’s time for us to face up to the ugly reality

open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

“Beyond the military, every politician, dare I say every public figure, in America should make it clear that Trump is not acting in their name.”

Strong words from Paul Krugman.

As Team Trump wage unceasing war on Iran, evangelical nationalists are destroying any moral world order we once had | Simon Tisdall The brutalisation of global norms by figures like Pete Hegseth has become a fight against chaos, and all major religions must play a role, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“More than ever, perhaps, a conflicted world needs independent, apolitical voices willing, and sufficiently courageous, to speak truth to power, stand up to autocratic bullies, defend the weakest and most vulnerable, and call out injustice and state lawlessness.”

Trump asks for $152 million to rebuild Alcatraz and reopen it as a prison President Trump’s budget seeks $152 million to cover first year of rebuilding and reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison despite $2 billion price tag and local opposition.

Accused? Guilty as charged.

It's encouraging to witness the development of teacher housing through a public-private partnership in Oakland. This initiative demonstrates progress in addressing housing needs for educators in California. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this project a reality.

‘If he’d stayed on the golf course, we’d be in a better place’: experts on Trump’s tariffs, one year on Last April, the president unleashed a tidal wave of tariffs on ‘liberation day’. Analysts say the policy has failed, even by the Trump administration’s own terms

www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“.. the evidence is in. Tariffs failed even by the Trump administration’s own terms. They did not shrink the trade deficit, did not revitalise manufacturing and did not help farmers. It would be a mistake to replace one set of failed tariffs with another.”

Takeaways from Trump's address: No end date for Iran war and few details on strategy ahead President Donald Trump sought to explain his rationale for the war against Iran in a primetime address Wednesday.

apnews.com/article/trum...

“Trump days ago predicted the U.S. will be done “within maybe two weeks.” On Wednesday, he said the U.S. would hit Iran “extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.” Then oil prices rose.”

Well done. Glad I didn’t watch more BS from him.

Thank you Bruce Springsteen. The Boss says No Kings.

Omg! Huge shoutout to San Francisco, CA! Ocean Beach, you crushed it! 🌊

Sunsets are beautiful this time of year at the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company.

Enjoyed the fireside chat on a terrific new book by Ryan Roslansky and Aneesh Raman on the future of work in the age of AI.

Highly recommend the practical and optimistic take.

Buy it and read it.

The verdict against Meta and YouTube is a victory for children – and the US justice system | Austin Sarat In a court of law, tech titans will be judged not for who they are, but what they do. We should take comfort in that

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The monetary verdict that the jury has imposed may hurt Zuckerberg less than that apology. But a jury of his peers sent a clear message to him and other tech titans.

In a court of law, they will be judged not for who they are, but for what they do.”
