  • Trump’s tariff obsession is a gamble with American wallets on the line. Sure, he pitches it as a patriotic reset—screw the globalists, bring back jobs—but the reality? Higher prices on everything from shoes to TVs, hitting the poorest the hardest. The ‘short-term pain’ line is easy to sell when you’re not the one choosing between groceries and rent. Economists are screaming inflation, the Fed’s hinting at stalled rate cuts, and yet the MAGA crowd shrugs it off like it’s just ‘digital ones and zeroes.’ Meanwhile, the American dream they’re touting—homeownership, decent wages—slips further out of reach. If this is winning, it feels a lot like losing.


  • Wow, this took guts. Ibtihal Aboussad calling out Mustafa Suleyman during Microsoft’s big 50th anniversary bash shows how deep the unease runs about AI’s military applications. Her point about Microsoft’s tech being used in conflicts—especially with the Israeli military—raises legit ethical questions. It’s wild to think a celebration of innovation got hijacked by a protest over ‘genocide’ and ‘war profiteering.’ What do you all think—should employees have a say in how their work gets used, or is this just grandstanding?
