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.

Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

I had a superb day today #Friday at #Udupi #Krishna Matha #India: I served water in the main dining hall, minded the line to see the Swamiji, generally interacted with 100+ people and absolutely every interaction was nice; not an iota of negativity.

Who knows tomorrow, but today was a #win. ☺️ 🙇‍♂️

Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz ‘Open’ After Lebanon Deal, but Trump Says U.S. Blockade Continues: Live Updates - The New York Times

I wonder if the "prediction markets" are taking bets on whether Trump mucks up any peace deal with #Iran before long, and on the next #distraction from #Epstein files.

Taking over Greenland has to be high on the list of distractions.

Pakistan badly needs the Strait of Hormuz to open for business or they'll be caught with their "pants down", much to the displeasure of the US, their new self-selected master, I mean pal. 🇵🇰 🇺🇸

Would make India happy though. 🇮🇳

A painting of Hindu deity Krishna dancing on t hood of a 9-headed serpent, holding the serpent's tail in his left hand. Krishna is shirtless but wears yellow dhoti. He has light blue complexion. In the lower background is blue waves to indicate water. In the upper background are spiral patches of red, green, and other color mixtures indicating the cosmos.

#Krishna subduing Kaalinga the #serpent.🐍

Cramped space, poor light, and the environment made photographing this #painting a challenge (Jan 15 2025).

BTW this form of Krishna is the main deity of Krishnapura Matha #Udupi. Today is the #birthday of that matha's Swamiji.

After three years as Iran’s hostage, the taxman came knocking | CNN The return of two French detainees from Iran this month has highlighted another former hostage’s run-in with French bureaucracy, sparking a public apology from the tax authority.

The French tax collector in this story is what every tax collector anywhere in the world hopes to become. I think.
