I fully support the Trump 100000$ per person per year fee on H1b. This will be the end of body shops as we know it and many of them were trump supporters so I will relish in their demise. The “proclamation” gives exceptions so most big companies will be just fine – and they will just ramp hiring in India, which if India plays this well is a great opportunity to become an innovation center. It sucks for people out of country right now though and my heart goes out to them as apparently if you are out on h1b and want to come back to USA you have to pay 100k at entry.

I think we give Americans too much credit by saying they were stupid by revoting the current president to power. By saying they are stupid, we give them the benefit of doubt of being ignorant, or victim of a scam, or they are not smart. The reality is people were not stupid – this is exactly what they voted for. Don’t be under any impression that majority of this country is stupid. Trump is doing exactly what the majority wanted. Don’t blame the messenger – blame yourselves!
Repeat after me: There is no such thing as liberal media. Nada.
PetaPixel’s review of iPhone 17pro was definitely interesting. It looks like the only big “camera” upgrade is really the 4x telephoto lens, while the other two cameras remain largely unchanged from 16Pro but with better software upscaling.
Apple Music in iOS 26 wants AutoMix turned on. I turned it on only to realize I hate it. Disabled it completely. No I am not in a fucking club that I want automix. I want to hear the entirety of the song thank you!
In Vancouver we spent a good time at bar talking about our current administration. Everyone had words galore to say so but almost all my colleagues said the exact same thing – they still won’t vote for Newsom in 2028 if he is the nominee 😖. White progressives truly are a delusional bunch. That said Mamdani is a brand and these colleagues were from all over the country and everyone of them loves him and hate how the establishment is still not supporting him. The democratic leadership still hasn’t understood the need of the hour either.
If Tucker Carlson could rebuild his brand without Fox News and using online reach, so can Colbert and Kimmel. I hope these two comedians decide to use this opportunity to free themselves from restrictions of legacy media world and build their own brand online. There is no reason they cannot, and I sincerely hope they do. We need them to break the shackles and go all in. We don’t need them to apologize or just wither away in shadows. We need them to do what Tucker Carlson did.

The fact that at any given time I am not surrounded by 5/10 people carrying a firearm is such a mental relief! America is truly fucked in so many ways.
Dear Canada please adopt me. Vancouver is such a lovely city – reminds me of Seattle of a decade or more ago when that city was nice too and not the trash that it has become now.
