  • Pro-Trump CEO Left Reeling as His Dream E-Bike Company Files for Bankruptcy Under Trump Trade Policies

    Jump

  • I mean, this is absolutely an issue and how we should attack trade negotiations/manufacturing protections. There are many things sold online that skirt regulations/tariffs/etc.

  • USA Used Claude AI Model to Capture Nicolás Maduro

    Jump

  • This seems like a lot of fluff to make anthropic/Claude sound impressive. They don't state what it was used for, but I'd imagine it was just general purpose text processing.

  • Trump nominates hospitality executive to lead National Park Service

    Jump

  • I'm sure that the guy is probably terrible, but at the surface level this isn't the worst pick. Hospitality isn't all the national parks are, but it is a significant part of the public facing side.

  • Pam Bondi Admits DOJ Has a Secret Domestic Terrorist List

    Jump

  • Thomas Massie has been giving off old school republican vibes a lot lately. Like, I don't like his policies, but he's at least sounding like an American that cares about his country and is using common sense.

  • DOJ flips out as judges invoke own authority to replace Trump loyalist probing Letitia James

    Jump

  • I mean, I think them losing the court cases is even better.

  • God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games

    Jump

  • Ah, if your preference is pixel graphics then Blasphemous 1 & 2 would probably be your pace if you haven't played them.

    To me, the GoW gameplay looked a little to heavy and stiff (especially for it being GoW).

  • E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

    Jump

  • I think that's a good system. I have a pedal assisted bike and it feels like it'd be ridiculous to need to license it (it does have a "full throttle" mode, but I don't think it can even make it up to 20mph).

  • Whistleblower complaint against Gabbard revolves around intercepted call about Kushner: report

    Jump

  • Given the amount of energy that went into suppressing it, it feels like there is probably something more serious going on.

  • God of War Sons of Sparta - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games

    Jump

  • Castlevania: Belmont‘s Curse Announcement Trailer | Nintendo Switch

    Jump

  • So glad to see it's not just switch. Looks awesome.

  • Kena: Scars of Kosmora - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games

    Jump

  • Yeah, it felt kinda empty and repetitive. I think if the combat was better I might have kept playing.

  • The blame game

    Jump

  • I would call it cruel and illegal, but yeah there really isn't anything he's good at.

  • The blame game

    Jump

  • Yeah, anyone working in the government space has been screwed over big time by this admin - except for the people they're funneling money to.

  • Tesla sales in China crash 45% to lowest level in over three years

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I was wondering.

  • The blame game

    Jump

  • There are a couple factors at play and ICE is actually a smaller one.

    • Tarrifs - Trumps approach makes everything in US more expensive and also adds uncertainty (because he uses them at a whim)
    • Policy Whiplash - Lots of tax/subsidy/regulation/grant changes disrupting business. This has disrupted existing projects and caused increase uncertainty in operating a business
    • Dollar loosing value - Aggression against allies/tariffs/etc. has caused allies to dump US bonds increasing our borrowing rate and hurting the dollar. This can be good for industry long term, but means less purchasing power and less confidence in the economy.

    Overall, Trump causes uncertainty in the world and economy. Uncertainty usually causes people to be more careful/conservative leading to economic slowdown.

    The saddest part is ICE isn't even deporting that many more people than Biden or Obama (based on numbers). They're actually just detaining tons of people - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/aug/29/trump-immigration-ice-cbp-data

  • Tesla sales in China crash 45% to lowest level in over three years

    Jump

  • Any idea if this is within expected ranges or is there something breaking down. I know that there has been speculation that the way the industry was operating wasn't sustainable, but is this a natural/maintainable shift or something else?

  • Pam Bondi suggests Jewish lesbian lawmaker is anti-Semitic in explosive hearing

    Jump

  • El Paso, New Mexico airspace closed by FAA without explanation; flights restricted under national defense noticeWithout explanation, FAA closes El Paso and New Mexico airspace for 10 days

    Jump

  • Customs and Border Protection Said to Have Fired Anti-Drone Laser That Triggered Airspace Closure

    Jump

  • I love that the FAAs response was "we're shutting this whole thing down until someone tells you to stop fucking up". Of course the Whitehouse had to come in and provide cover for them.

    Also, this would end careers in any other administration, how the hell did we get here. Why does no one in congress care?
