None of the deal makes any sense to me. He didn't removed the 10% tariff on UK imports. He just told the UK that they should buy more US cars and US beef, but US beef doesn't meet UK health standards and US cars are too big for UK roads.

US citizens are paying higher taxes on imports from UK and UK citizens are paying lower taxes on imports from the US.

I think Yugopnik is saying that he is secretly or not secretly a long time leftypol user.

Leftypol began as a board on 8chan in 2014. The Leftypol board was created by 4chan users who began to take interests in reading Marxist and Anarchist literature. 8chan grew in popularity in 2014, when moot (admin of 4chan) banned all discussion of gamergate. 8chan, similar to reddit, allowed users to create their own boards. In 2016, the creator of 8chan Frederich Brennan sold the website to Jim Watkins, who is a leader of the Qanon movement. In 2019, 8chan was shut down for extended periods of time because 3 different right wing mass shooters posted their manifestos to 8chan. Between 2017-2019, many of the Leftypol users migrated to a website called bunkerchan. The new Leftypol website was formed between 2019-2020. The bunkerchan url now redirects to the Leftypol url.

I browsed leftypol a few times in the 2014-2016 time period. This was before the chapo podcast existed. I would consider leftypol's beliefs to have class reductionist tendencies. They may have matured in the past 10 years. I don't really know much about the new leftypol site.

This gene also influences how tomato fruit ripen, the reason commercial tomatoes develop into perfectly red, store-ready fruit.

However, this same trait reduces sugars and nutrients in the fruit.

Naturally, tomatoes unevenly ripen, showing darker green patches when unripe and variable redness when ripe -- traits that still show up in garden-variety and heirloom breeds.

However, in the late 1920s, commercial breeders stumbled across a natural mutation that caused tomatoes to ripen uniformly -- from an even shade of light green to an even shade of red.

The uniform redness makes it ideal for groceries, where customers expect evenly colored, red fruit.

I would not be surprised if Sean O'brien endorses Trump. Trump has been saying for weeks now at his rallies that the Teamsters are going to endorse him. They've had meetings together multiple times.

When I search what you wrote, it says that even though CEF gave money to JSO in the past, Trevor Neilson left CEF in 2021 and condemned JSO as only disruptive in June 2023.

What you wrote doesn't seem up to date. It would seem that JSO went in a different direction.

Also this article from from November 2023 says that JSO only received 2% of it's funding from CEF. That doesn't seem as significant as your post claims.

“Look at me, look at me,” Martha-Ann Alito said. “I’m German, from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me, I’m going to give it back to you.”

what did she mean by this?

From what I remember, the ecofash are the villains. The villians has some ecofascist beliefs and are motivated by those beliefs, but I don't think that the show itself accepts ecofascism. To me it was pretty clear that the show was saying ecofascism is bad.

If you look at the full catalog on the designer website, there are images printed into the jacket linings of each jacket. I think it's really tacky.

Jordan Peterson is a lobster man. He says that lobsters fight each other to establish hierarchy and that humans are the same, so humans are lobsters. The man has destroyed his brain with benzos.
