My Facebook, more inane cat videos.
This; a screenshot of Trump pouring water on Orange Cat's vacation.
Now it's just China trolling the Americans, there was one yesterday in which two cats - black and white, siblings, are abducted by a big fat ICE agent - "Animal Control", next scene is the black cat in chains at the "vet"- which resembles the "hospital" facilities at CECOT; who's prepping an evil needle, white cat leaps in to save his brother, jabs needle into vet, vet dies, black and white cat escape together with fat ICE agent in hot pursuit...
I take a look at the comments, clearly other people are getting this. They're not, not at all, they're all just sad at the dark turn of events that have overtaken the Orange Cat videos.

Now the Chinese (I'm guessing) - they're only a day or two behind current events in the US, Abrego Garcia's unlawful forced deportation (and probable execution), the President's refusal to expedite in any ways his return, El Salvador's President refusing to return him (because, most likely, he's dead) and you get an idea where these videos are going.
And Kristi Noem, fashionably parading through one of the poorest and violent prisons in the world, with a solid gold Rolex fashionably displayed on her wrist...and Trump's request for 4 more "CECOT" centres be built for the "real baddies" in America, well...another time not so long ago we'd have called them concentration camps.
We live adjacent to a despicable present; where both China and Russia are starting to look like good guys...

Anyways, the Chinese, they're on it, filling up Facebook and Meta with cutesy AI videos that on some level reflect current events in America, and - having dumbed it down and sweetened it up as much as they could they're STILL not getting it. If it comes to it, a big IF - it will be probably known as the Facebook revolution, and Zuckerberg will be Parilaus, roasted in the Bronze or Brazen Bull(shit) of his own devising...

Never knew what it was, only that I liked pulleys and gears. Upon unpacking (and vaguely remembering it) I set out with Google Lens to find out what it was...
An Antique Bobbin Winder.
Now, even despite knowing how collectable and valuable this is I'll never be able to sell it because what, then, of all my antique bobbins came unwound??
Tariffs & Crashing the Stock Market By Design

Getting a lot of press today, that the Good Emperor Trump has put a 90 day hiatus on Tariffs, this the media is framing variously as "He's come to his senses" or "he's made his point", etc, etc.
Naturally, in this time of Global Uncertainty, all induced by a certain orange melon, following this announcement the markets rebounded. And a certain Bluesky user by the name of "Unusual Whales" noted that margins trading begun before the announcement, with some users seeing 2100% gains in a matter of a couple of hours.
Now given the downward trending of the market, due in no doubt to Trumps unpredictable tariffs and changing his mind; and looking at how this volatility is benefitting his cronies, it seems fair to say that all this is by design. This collapsing of the markets and global uncertainty is being done to benefit those closest to him in the administration, via offshore and shell accounts.

What is remarkable is how few of the new agencies are willing to confront this, although - as well by design, he keeps them busy with sooooo many other things, like illegal deportations, arrests, gutting infrastructure, etc.
This does recall that bit in Brexit where Nigel Farage shorted the British Pound, in effect betraying the entire nation and lying to them about the benefits of Brexit so that he could profit from it. (
Many of the same tactics were on display, the Xenophobia, bring the jobs home, etc. And while Britain has to some extent recovered from this, and never prosecuted Farage, I doubt very much the USA will ever recover from Trump
