Fortunately, our accelerated Amazon and Aliexpress purchasing was not in vain - price creep has begun!  All sorts of products are seeing 10-25% increases as tariff costs get passed on to the consumer - even Shein and Temu are passing the buck back to you.  

And why is there a Starlink antenna on the roof of the GSA in Washington DC?  

Like any episode of Nonsense, AI highlights, including: animated art, the cost of saying please & thank you to your LLM, age detection, and humanoid robots running half-marathons.  

Everything is fine.  It’s fine.
