Trump finds that trashing the rule of law also trashes the economy. Tanks: $29T economy in 7 weeks. Plunging stock markets have lost ~$4T, Americans’ RT accts: shriveling, his trade war is set to raise prices & #recession alarms are blinking🚨.
No rules -the law is optional -no predictability to his actions. Bus ldrs/consumers: no idea what’s coming -can't plan... wrecking: economy.
“What's your strategy to lower the overall cost of living?” Reporters: kicked out.

Plastic pollution and forever chemicals are so widespread they’re even in the rain, putting public health and natural ecosystems at risk.Benji Jones (Vox)
One of the most frequent questions I get when I post images of space: "Are those colors real?"
The answer is no. Well, maybe. Kinda?

Are the Colors in Space ‘Real’?
In colorful photographs of galaxies, stars, planets, and more, what you see isn’t necessarily what you getPhil Plait (Scientific American)
"I’ve never run across a good name for this process, though." - calling it a color mapped image (or explicitly like "Hubble Palette") is the best I've found.
How about “Synthetic Color?”
At least it's accurate, where “fake" and “unnatural" are both not quite right. It is created from very real “natural” wavelengths...

Fears for human rights as Peru passes ‘simply brutal’ anti-NGO law
Experts say legislation will prevent vulnerable people from accessing justice in latest government-backed crackdownDan Collyns (The Guardian)
Much as I personally hate having to call telephone support to get things done, and strongly prefer to use internet services for everything, I would like to make two points:
First, as noted by many others, senior's lack of access and knowledge of such technologies is "legendary." And mobility is often limited. Seen the frequency of "disabled" car tags? And many, for very good reasons, cannot or should not drive.

Call your Democratic senators and urge them not to cave: indivisible.org/resource/call-…
🚨 We’re hearing this is not a done deal. Your pressure is working.
Republicans need to peel off seven or eight Senate Democrats for today’s cloture vote. Keep calling and telling Dems to hold the line against this extreme MAGA spending bill. indivisible.org/resource/call-…

In the Gilded Age, robber barons acted the same way because a poorly fed, poorly housed, impoverished & illiterate working class is easier to manipulate.
Billionaires want a labor force with just enough education to do a job. With AI, they see literacy as a liability, not an investment in the future.
