📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).

Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

EVs are quieter, simpler, less expensive to run, and more fun to drive than equivalent combustion cars. They’re where world auto markets are going, so why handicap US auto companies competing in those markets? All to pay off fossil fuel donors.

I think European leaders - both national and in the EU - are underestimating what it will do to their publics to be humilated by Trump.
Like the NATO summit and Rutte's 'Daddy' strategy, mabye the outcome could have been worse. But losing pride and being humilated is also a price that is paid.

A 30% tariff on EU exports would hurt businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic.
We will continue working towards an agreement by August 1.
At the same time, we are ready to safeguard EU interests on the basis of proportionate countermeasures.

The year is 2027 and Nvidia stock is surging on rumours they're close to developing a next generation processor capable of calculating US auto-tariffs.
Good morning. It is now 12:01 AM, which means a 25% tariff on all $114B in non-USCMA-compliant auto part imports has now gone into effect, alongside a hideously complex system allowing carmakers to rebate tariffs on 15% of the content in a US-made car this year & 10% next year

On a positive note, at least Russia is in the passenger seat of the car that Trump decided to drive off a cliff.
Oil prices are now over 30% below what was needed for their 2025 budget and they blew through all their financial loopholes in 2024.
