The #FBI has shut down its #ForeignInfluence task force. #CISA has ended its efforts to expose #disinformation. And this week the #State Dept put employees who tracked global disinformation on leave, shutting down the effort that had publicized the spread of #Chinese & #Russian #propaganda.

Almost 3 months into #Trump’s 2nd term, the guardrails intended to prevent #NationalSecurity missteps have come down as the new team races to anticipate & amplify the wishes of an #unpredictable president.

🌴🤪 Oh, Hawaii's "freakosystem" is here to teach us all a lesson from the future! 🚀 Because clearly, a mashup of random #buzzwords is the only way to convey the profound message that #nature is #unpredictable and sometimes #wild, just like a BBC homepage full of irrelevant global headlines. 🌍📚

Tariffs
Start with Trump being a #Genius and the amounts and the way those amounts were arrived at don't surprise or even look unusual.

From here that's a dominance display - Trump showing all the other players that their expectations that he'll be bound by norms, treaties, tradition, reason and logic are useless fantasies.

"I can do whatever the fuck I want, and you can't know what I'll do next. I'm #Unpredictable and you're all piss-weak."

Look, as we all know, he's going to keep doing this, he's a person of self-absorption & whim not of law or reliability. The best possible thing other countries can do right now is to find alternate trading partners for the same goods, so that they have a secure reliable supply that isn't at the whim of a madman/conman, and then drop the U.S. as a trading partner all together.

These days, Demarais said, big #corporations may do their best to stay under the radar & wait out #Trump’s term. Opening a major production facility takes billions of dollars & a lot of time.

And #business leaders may be wary of investing in the #UnitedStates when #policy is so #unpredictable. Last week, for instance, Trump unexpectedly raised the possibility of doubling #taxes on foreign nationals & companies.

…This week’s pause is fueled at least partly by uncertainty over the way #Trump could enact new policies, such as a return to an #aggressive & #unpredictable global #trade overhaul w/ #threats to impose significant #tariffs on US trading partners. Though it’s unclear exactly how those policies will affect the #economy, some #Fed ofcls have already begun to factor these policies into their economic projections.

Dear Whinging Friends, ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​
As we in the UK (allegedly) know, 'musn't grumble'. Maybe we should a little more?
- Brexit? Bet you can't eat three? Eh wait that is wheatabix, readybrex, shredded wheat/wit? Something tasteless with added sugar rush? ​:ablobcatpopcorn:​
- The #weather is now so #unpredictable we can talk about it and whinge even more. Result!
- We are now #bank ruptured. Oh the #humanity

Easy to be a whinge bag. #Fortunately we have some of the #brightest minds in the IMPerial Empire of little In-gland:
- Pubic [sic] transport run by runner haz beans...
- Schools making way for Pink Floyd, 'We don't need no education, Teacher leave them kids alone'. #Sum mishtake surely.
- #Food #grown in #inns and out of hunger #allotments 🥬

Expect more surprises. As they happen, mostly by accident...

I think #Premium in #AlbionOnline is as #stressful as I thought it would be once I got it.

Still it unlocks personal islands...also you can get more silver than you usually get if you wanna keep Premium going like forever.

The side effects of premium is maybe you don't have a stable solution to farm the silver and #ThatsFine! In Runescape I could roughly predict what I needed to do to maintain membership and not being able to...

...makes gaming exciting and #unpredictable!

@malware@hachyderm.io around 20 years ago I had to implement a "central repo + peripheral repos" for multiple unrelated projects (with two-way sync scheduled overnight) with #Subversion #CVS to overcome the "remote repos" being hosted #by "glorified PCs" hosted basically inside closets, with unreliable and unpredictable Internet and power connections #Subversion #CVS #to #overcome #the #"remote #repos" #being #hosted #by #"glorified #PCs" #hosted #basically #inside #closets, #with #unreliable #and #unpredictable #Internet #and #power #xonnections
