If you have any interest in how the Global #Economy works and how the Trump #Tarrifs will impact the #IT industry then check out this documentary by @gamersnexus

While it concentrates on the retail IT space many of the topics and discussions with manufacturers and importers worldwide will also impact on #InfoSec and corporate IT.

This is a long documentary as it's a complex topic with many aspects that I and you probably didn't take into account 🫢

NEW COMIC! About the only thing Moulin Rouge doesn't have in it is werewolf smut which is in my opinion an oversight.

-- Constitutional Spitroast --

The legal language glows on my laptop. Bloodless. Technical. “The Secretary of Defense may determine those military activities that are reasonably necessary and appropriate.”

Reasonable…

Appropriate…

Words still dressed in their Sunday best while weekend passes expired for constitutional separation of powers.

Weather alert flashes. Storm warnings. Barometric collapse. Democracy depression incoming from the southwest. Pressure dropping inside my skull in time with atmospheric systems.

Trump’s order hands federal land to the military. Creates “military installations” on US territory. Gives Pentagon jurisdiction over American soil with rules of engagement drafted by generals, not legislators. Legal document reads like necropsy report for republic that died without anyone noticing. Constitution didn’t flatline dramatically. Just got quietly rewritten in bureaucrat-ese while Americans argued about gas prices.

Been on stage twice this week for two distinct #improv #longform. The first venue was rather full, the second mostly empty.

Two more longforms planned before the week ends. I hope we have some more public.

Grand River - Tuning the Wind (Umor Rex)

"an epic thirty six minute soundscape that starts as a gentle summer breeze and gradually explores the power, and at the mid-way mark the brutality, of this natural force, before a calmer, kosmische second half takes you safely home" https://www.theslowmusicmovement.org/post/grand-river-tuning-the-wind-umor-rex

Obviously GalatAIa is referencing Sherlock Holmes. But "never reference a better movie" is from Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's a reference about referencing: a metareference!

I just finished reading this excellent, excellent (yes twice), funny, lovely, wonderful, well-crafted, heartfelt story and highly recommend everyone give it a spin, especially if you are interested in Marvel's #BlackWidow character at all.
