So #trump just reverses the screwed up decisions he made and wants to take a victory lap for it --- and I'm sure #MAGA morons will praise him but the damage is done.

US Tourism this year will be down over $60 BILLION, China has made deals with Brazil for food they used to buy from US #Farmers, Canadian markets are gone for US companies and none of this is coming back

So much #winning... so much

‘I don’t even recognise myself anymore’: the reality of eating disorders in sport

theconversation.com/i-dont-eve

> From elite athletes to amateurs, eating disorders are too often praised as ‘discipline’.

Disordered behaviour, such as restricting food intake, purging, binge eating, or abusing laxatives, are sometimes normalised in competitive environments, embedded into routines and disguised as dedication.

Sports as fun exercise is overwhelmed by sports as competition and entertainment.

When winning is most important, the real value is lost.

Ah ha, not this time my old nemesis, loaded, but not run dishwasher!

This time I noticed I'd forgotten to press the start button, and have now pressed the offending, unpressed, start button.

So hopefully in the morning I will not be greeted by that most disappointing of things: a full, un-run and smelly dishwasher, out of which you now need to get things, and wash them, for breakfast.

According to S&P Global, U.S. stock market capitalization declined 6.0% from December 2024 to April 2025, weighed down by economic uncertainty and trade tensions that hit big tech stocks particularly hard.
In contrast, global markets posted strong gains, with Spain (+24.3%), Germany (+20.6%), Brazil (+20.4%), Mexico (+18.6%), Italy (+16.9%), Sweden (+14.9%), the EU (+14.6%), and Switzerland (+14.0%) leading the rebound.

So much #winning !

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

What people mean, therefore, by the struggle for life is really the struggle for success. What people fear when they engage in the struggle is not that they will fail to get their breakfast next morning, but that they will fail to outshine their neighbours.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)
