From award-winning journalist Kara Swisher comes a witty, scathing, but fair accounting of the tech industry and its founders who wanted to change the world but broke it instead. I like easy to read books and this is one of those.

We should convert these into state parks!

The Universities must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely. And we must stand with them.

I am sorry and ashamed for what happened today in the Whitehouse. As far as I am concerned, Zelensky and all Ukrainians are true heroes. Trump did not speak for me.

The “electoral autocracy” that is Viktor Orbán’s Hungary has been long revered by Donald Trump and his “Make America Great Again” (Maga) movement. Now admiration is turning into emulation.

Gas your cars soon, because the tariffs are going to increase prices. And then refill at the 1/2 way mark instead of waiting, to keep ahead of the continually increasing prices.

Also, buy fruits and veggies from locally sourced vendors. Sorry Mexico, but we gotta pay for Canadian gas!

And buy that TV or computer NOW, because the active inventory is the lowest price your gonna get for a few years.

IMHO, these tariffs are really really dumb ideas.
