My previous post is via @AngelwithMomo, someone who has excellent judgment about what ideas deserve a boost. She is both a good person and a good person to follow here. She sometimes writes in English and other times writes in German. Today she brought the good news that even a Congressional Republican is now calling for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's removal.
Can you keep a secret? Pete Hegseth can't.

Nobody annihilates Trump's economic policy better than Ben Norton, of the Geopolitical Economy Report.
It's not just comments. It's facts, with receipts.
One thing that the media doesn't point out is that Trump couldn't care less for reindustrialisation or for the American working class. Trump wants the world to subsidise US's foreign policy, the hundreds of military bases, the no tax for oligarchs policy, through the imposition of tariffs

The Tesla Cybertruck is considered the biggest flop in automotive history, according to experts.

What is there to like? Tesla is owned by a Nazi. The truck is non-compliant with safety standards in many overseas markets and off-putting to many would-be buyers. An unpainted stainless steel vehicle just doesn’t have that much broad traction. Also, it looks like a big trash bin.

Raw Story · 'Huge swing and a miss': Cybertrucks reportedly stand as auto industry's biggest flop everBy Travis Gettys
Experimental Friday — trying to make use of the strange haze that my dysfunctional Agfa Optima produced.

The haze is now a place for literature.

A fragment from "The Hour of the Star" by Clarice Lispector, that I'm reading in Dutch:

"I must record a reason for joy here. Namely, that on a sad Sunday without cassava flour the girl experienced an equally unexpected and inexplicable happiness: from the harbour quay she saw a rainbow."
