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
China is trying to play chicken, where they are the chicken charging at a Bull, thinking it’s going to blink. Let’s see how much farther the yuan tanks. pic.twitter.com/l9U068kcyj

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…*

A mesmerizing blue spiral appeared in the night sky in Europe caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
The phenomenon was likely caused by the rocket's "frozen exhaust plume… spinning in the atmosphere and reflecting the sunlight, causing it to appear as a spiral in the sky," the… pic.twitter.com/PlCtomUdsz
Apparently, a reporter from The Atlantic got into a private group chat on Signal between JD Vance, Pete Hegseth and others… And, the ONLY big scoop the reporter could get from it was that they called Europe “freeloaders!” 😆😆👏🏻👏🏻👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/wRdVIwFxGt
European leaders want the US to fight Russia on their behalf ('cos they can't), rape the resources ('cos they're 'allies') for much needed collateral in order to crash their failing economies and launch their new EU digital currency ('You will have nothing and be happy'). pic.twitter.com/MbKbpK8OrJ
Kim Leadbeater believes people who feel they are a burden should have access to an NHS suicide service as long as they have capacity.
That's an awful lot of my patients.
This law is presented as compassionate but in reality is cruel and heartless. Killing is never a therapy. https://t.co/I75Cr5IZ2v

This exchange in the committee this morning goes to the heart of the Leadbeater Bill. A new clause, amending the 1946 Act, will change the NHS to the National Health and Assisted Suicide Service. And no, it's not just part of end-of-life care. pic.twitter.com/LoODMNQLMK
