This hasn’t been covered enough. People forget that Trump tore up a multi-lateral non-nuclear deal with Iran that Obama orchestrated in 2024, for petty political reasons.
I’ve seen things in AI this past week that made me believe my job will be gone in under 2 years. Not just my job, but the entire industry I work in is about to collapse.
For any film buffs and anyone interested in cinematography… “shotdeck” is an insanely amazing visual library that I recently learned about.
For instance, if you find shot or framing reference you like, it gives you dozens of similarly composed shots from other films.
I could spend days on here.

At best, Trump’s tariffs are a poorly planned, terribly executed trade war.
At worst they are intentional market manipulation designed to enrich Trump insiders.
More people should be pissed off about this.
Elon and Bitcoiners, an entertaining relationship:
2021 - Tesla buys Bitcoin, Bitcoiners love Elon for it.
2021-22 - Elon pumps $DOGE, and says Bitcoin isn’t scalable. Bitcoiners hate him for it.
2022 - Elon buys Twitter on the premise of “bringing back free speech”. Bitcoiners love him for it.
2022-23 - Elon starts a subscription for blue checks. Bitcoiners hate him for it and start Nostr.
2024 - Elon goes all in for Trump. Bitcoiners love him for it.
2025 - Elon launches “DOGE” and starts to gut the federal government but also violates every American’s privacy by accessing their tax records, social security #s, etc.
Bitcoiners are confused.
These are just a few of the executive orders that Trump signed yesterday that were a higher priority for him than SBR or freeing Ross…
“Recognize two sexes”
“Stall TikTok ban for 75 days”
“Rename Mt. Denali and the Gulf of Mexico”
“Ensure states carrying out the death penalty have a sufficient supply of lethal injection drugs”
“Fly American flag at full staff on Monday and future inauguration days” (It was at half staff for Cater’s death)
“Move to end birthright citizenship” (impossible to without amending the constitution, BTW)
Was driving down a street, saw a kid wearing a hoodie with a baseball logo that looked familiar and then remembered that I designed it.
A good feeling.
