Is it time for an expanded digital services tax? Why not rax foreign social media like we tax sugar, alcohol, nicotine, and fast food? The imposition of minimum pricing rules per account or per post would be a huge disincentive. Maybe regulate them like traditional media. Ban foreign ownership?

I've been playing on PS5 for around a week. Fantastic control scheme; super intuitive. Honestly, I think this might be the best of the two point games so far. It's very well done and a very original take on the format.

What if Marjorie Taylor Green already tripped and swallowed her head?

Her being inside-out would explain a lot.

Oh, I see. I hadn't considered that that could be used as a pretense for military action.

Trump's stable genius trade advisor was just on one of their propaganda networks suggesting that Canada is also run by Mexican cartels. It's all a bit Monty Python, honestly. Just waiting to hear who he's nominating for Secretary of Silly Walks.

Proton + Ghostery wombo combo should still work for now for ad blocking and VPN.

Hilarious image of egg smugglers being forced to 'lay' their contraband under supervision in a CBSA bathroom.

After some quick interneting, apparently we have the technical and industrial capacity to do so, but lack intention, having committed to peaceful, civilian use of the technology through non-proliferation treaties, etc.

I mean, in an ideal world, that's how it should be.

I think it very much is for certain states. Particularly Florida.

I would very much rather we err on the side of caution when it comes to our sovereignty and Trumps erratic, ego driven foreign policy.

I may have picked it up wrong, but I think i read somewhere that European and Canadian based travel providers are already reporting a 40% reduction in travel bookings to the US.

That might require a fact check, but if true, that could be quite devastating for the US tourism industry. And we're only a few months into his presidency, so one might expect that to drop further.

I also read that realtors in Florida specifically are being overwhelmed with requests for quick sales on foreigner owned properties.

It's not nothing.
