Finally went to see Sinners in the local theater. Probably one of my favorite films this year. The score and music are so good! Defo reccomend checking it out at your local theater or on streaming when you get the chance.

#MarkCarney victory speech

"We are once again at one of those hinge moments of history. Our old relationship with the #UnitedStates, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over. The system of open global trade anchored by the United States, a system that #Canada has relied on since the Second World War, a system that, while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades. Is over. These are tragedies, but it's also our new reality"

This, is coming from the party that *HATES* including taxes in the sticker price of gasoline and diesel. They’d rather it be split out so folks would be upset over taxes. ALSO SEE conservatives who fight hard to protect ULCCs (cheap airlines) on their own schemes to outlay pricing for transparency. https://journa.host/@w7voa/114421375246325660

Gamers Nexus out there casually providing the best coverage of tariffs

Last night – Tuesday night – Gamers Nexus posted a three hour deep dive on how Trump’s tariff regime is completely fucking one segment of the computer industry: custom computers and components including gaming PCs.

I have now watched all of it.

IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME.

I never say that shit about a video this long but it is a documentary of goddamn note. I haven’t seen anything else close to this, showing not just numbers, but how those numbers compound – 145% isn’t a limit, some of the tariffs are additive on top of each other – and most of all how stupidly complicated they’ve made it.

Let’s say you’ve got a power supply. Let’s say it’s at 145% as a base unit, ’cause right now it probably is. That’s not the only tariff – that’s just one of them. Percentage aluminium by weight? You’ve got to figure that out, and you need to know where it came from, because that’s an additional tariff. Sometimes. Percentage steel by weight? Same question, same fluctuating situation.

How the fuck do you figure out where the aluminium legs on a resistor came from?

The transparency from Hyte in particular – it’s stunning. They’re just dumping pricing and strategy trade secrets in this video because they literally can’t do business in the US as things stood at time of shooting. They’ve cancelled all shipments to the US and once they’re out of stock already in country, they’re out of stock.

As they say, most people won’t really notice until shelves go empty.

And this is just one industry.

$600 for a PC case, anyone?

From ReWilding magazine: wildlife crossings are effective! They reduce car-animal collisions and allow animals to re-populate areas from which they had been previously excluded. This article shows five examples, including this crab bridge on Christmas Island. There's even an aerial monkey crossing in Brazil.
