The man was wrong. The man is wrong. It's not hard. We can all fucking say it. We can all fucking _see_ it.
Trump can't do basic math. He's what the lay-folk refer to as a fucking idiot. Smooth brain mother fuckers. GAAAAH.
I'm surprised that RFK Jr, a well know rat, hasn't yet jumped ship.

You can shake their heads and hear what sounds like dozens of meal-worms clicking around in there.

I gotta a lot hate over here. ๐

@Lana alternative math to go with alternative facts.
These people are beyond broken.
I wonder how many tariff lawyers just sprang into action.
@Lana "alternative facts" and "different percentages" are so funny to me.
Yeah It's easy to believe that DJT believes that.
doesn't make it any less wrong
@Lana I can state quite confidently:
We are turbofucked.
@Lana I simply cannot make sense of that at all. I mean we know it is wrong, but at first I thought he was considering percentage of the reduced amount, i.e. he sees increasing something 600% and then decreasing it 600% gets the same number, but that does not even make sense...
$10 increase to $600 is increase by 5900% or increase to 6000% of original.
$600 to $10 is decrease by 98โ %
600% does not come in to it!

It makes sense with a Bayesian interpretation.

My 2025 article An essay on wank proved to be startlingly widely read. It made its way around a large part of the internet, sparked quite a lot of discussion and still garners quite a few readers, even now. It was, to my mind, not too bad an article, but as is quite often the case with the first inceptions of an idea, a bit scattershot and often not very tight argumentatively. What this is to say is that there are a bunch of gaps in the article which, as of April 2026, are kind of annoying me. There is also considerable demand for more analysis on wank theory, and as the quantity of wank that we deal with has only increased since I wrote the last article, extending the argument and making it more rigorous seems like it might be a good idea.
@Lana I know a genuine dribbling moron, complete with IQ ~70, who probably wouldn't get the figures that wrong. He's also great fun, warm-hearted, and quick to help other people.
Unlike these diseases...
@Lana JOOI has anyone worked out a way in which those figures might almost-nearly make sense?
I feel for all the good people in USA who do not deserve the ridicule and scorn the world now pours on the whole of the USA, out of habit :-(
