Italian leather actually comes from Africa, they lost the right to even call it “ Italian leather “ in court depending and this is all to keep it a secret for the consumers because they wouldn’t want “ African leather “
This is literally as concise AI summary of 'The Art of the Deal'. If you want to tell me Trump just failed why is the last week and the below screenshot the same image? pic.twitter.com/UKOPHfyoua
Today is my birthday, so enjoy this freebie from the Subscriber tab to celebrate my 42 years on this earth and commentary on what I've decided is Fed Fake Rage Monday.
Treasury Secretary Bessent just revealed that President Trump laid a trap and China fell into it.
"This was driven by the president's strategy… You might even say that he goaded China into a bad position. They responded. They have shown themselves to the world to be the bad… pic.twitter.com/JNjiMzemG9

I haven’t written in a while, as I’ve been mostly leaving it to Clicky to fill the LoL’s shelves; however, I thought I’d share an interaction with Grok!, the AI engine on X, that I had earlier today. Actually, it was about Clicky’s latest post…
… X now has a feature where the user can hit a button and ask Grok! to explain any particular post. What would it make of the gif I’d chosen to illustrate Clicky’s latest post’s title? It’s not something I’d thought of doing before but I have had a couple of interesting convos recently with Grok! – one about how various commodities shaped the City of London…
*…/drag… I started with sugar because of a tweet, but Grok! kept suggesting other commodities to consider, so I kept on clicking… /exhales plume of smoke…*
… And the other about language…
*For 12 years I lived at ‘Slippers Place’ in Bermondsey… /taps ash… Makes ya fink…*
… Anyway, on a whim, I decided to ‘click’ the button and ask Grok!…
*Oh, so Letitia James stole ‘male, pale & stale’ from David Cameron, who’d nicked it from NASA. What is it with politicians and stealing? … /shakes head… *
… ‘Knitting and lifestyle’?! What? What was Grok! talking about; I’ve never knitted in my life! Mum used to knit. She was a prolific knitter, Dear Reader. All our cardies, jumpers, hats and gloves as kids were knitted by mum. I have very fond memories of her loopy cardigans and of a particular red and white checkered top she knitted that now makes me think of Croatia. And dolls clothes; my Barbie’s outfits were bespoke one-offs, knitted by Jude…
*Yeah, I see that now, Clicky – Grok! linked to a different Roobeedoo. But I didn’t see that at the time…*
… Perplexed, I asked Grok! the first thing that came into my head…
*Well, the French Revolution was a Fourth Turning for the Frogs… /final drag… and a shambles is a slaughterhouse… /stubs butt… I mean, I like your Fourth Turning Tales and shambles, Clicky, but I’ve never knitted…*
*’become compact or consolidated’?… /thinks… I heard that or words to that effect only yesterday…*
*Yes! What we refer to as ‘syncs’, Clicky, Clif High is calling ‘qualia’. Perhaps I am a knitter after all…*
"Economy was like a bodybuilder taking steroids. Outside you're great, inside you are killing your vital organs. That's what was going on here. It would have been easy to keep pumping up the economy, borrowing a lot of money and creating a lot of government jobs. There… pic.twitter.com/PpCZbOyvmz

Military operations but only interested in viral posts from MIL accounts? You talking about the MIL operations where soldiers paid the ultimate sacrifice? It would be an honor to PAUSE and wave goodbye to the rogue intelligence agents as I watch their ship sink. Been waiting… https://t.co/UKj1tWv3UKpic.twitter.com/wQBSW5Wo3N
Tom Kazansky “Iceman" spoke to my generation in the 80s. And in 2022, he did it again. This scene, probably, is the distillation of Top Gun Maverick. RIP Val Kilmer. pic.twitter.com/4AgUEAoXwA
