So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Estany d'Ivars i Vilasana a l'alba. Un ocell persistentment rau sobre una branca que emergeix de l'aigua. L'he retratat cent cops. Sembla que esperi la meva visita.
Estany d'Ivars i Vilasana. L'ocell que sempre hi és. Sembla que m'espera.

Sunset on the river Guadalquivir in Sevilla, Spain, just before the start of the final of the Copa del Rey on Saturday 18/4
It began with coal and steel. But from the very start, our Union was always meant to be much more.
75 years ago, in Paris, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Europe chose a different path.
One of unity over division, of peace over war.
The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

We were grad students at UC San Diego together. Dale was honour and class incarnate. Whether he crafted philosophy (that would invariably get published in top places) or singling Purple Rain in karaoke. Leaves a partner with two young daughters, suddenly alone in new to them Oxford. Devastating

La Panini perde le figurine dei calciatori. “Affidamento all’americana Topps senza gara, perché?”

Thinking of the 97 today and all those impacted by the Hillsborough tragedy, then and now.
AI executives can only promise to build a digital god that might destroy the world, declare that they're going to replace a vast swath of everyone's jobs, and work directly to subvert democracy for so long before people, some of whom *take their words at face value*, will decide to act.
Last week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center.
Why the AI backlash has turned violent:

OTD in 2022 Russian warship Moskva, that was told “go fuck yourself”, went & fucked itself and sunk. By a country without a navy. In a land war.
I remain a master strategist.
Open war btw Trump & Meloni today - this has degenerated quickly...
Speaking to Corriere della Sera, & responding to Meloni calling his attacks against Pope "unacceptable", Trump said: "She's the one who is unacceptable,because she doesn't care if Iran has a nuclear weapon and would blow up Italy"
This was a very pleasant walk along the Inchavore river leading to this large mountain lake (Lough Dan in Co. Wicklow). It's large enough to have a sandy shore and a little wetland area where dragonflies will start to show up when it gets a bit warmer.
Not much hiking this week so I'm running short on photos. This is Lough Dan from a few weeks ago on the first clear Spring day of the year.
Enjoy your day.
