![Xi Defiance Pays Off as Trump Meets |
Most Chinese Trade Demands
Summary by Bloomberg Al
= After two days of talks in Switzerland, the US and China announced a massive de-escalation in tariffs, with the US slashing duties on Chinese products to 30% from 145% for a 90-day period, and Beijing dropping its levy on most goods to 10%.
= The deal met nearly all of Beijing's core demands, including the suspension of the elevated "reciprocal” tariff, the establishment of a point person for talks, and agreements on fentanyl and tariffs.
= The reduction in tariffs is seen as a positive development for China, with the potential to boost its economy and make it easier to hit a growth target of about 5% this year, although some caution that a “durable resolution” remains challenging.

Warum die neue Arbeitsministerin Bas die Rente reformieren will
Eine Reform der gesetzlichen Rente gilt als überfällig. Arbeitsministerin Bas will deshalb, dass künftig auch Beamte in das System einzahlen. Die Union lehnt das ab. Worum geht es? Von Jim-Bob Nickschas.
Die Besserstellung der Beamten erfolgt schon alleine durch die #Unkündbarkeit, gerade in der heutigen Zeit.
Vorschlag:
Die #Pensionen so absenken wie die #Renten und das eingesparte Geld in die #Rentenversicherung einzahlen
und dann noch die versicherungsfremden Leistungen rausnehmen und schon kann die Rente angehoben werden und ist mehr als sicher.

![Onstage in Dubai with shady crypto billionaire Justin Sun [I71], President Trump’s son Eric and World Liberty Financial co-founder Zach Witkoff announced that the state-backed Emirati investment firm MGX would be taking a $2 billion stake in the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, using the World Liberty-issued USD1 stablecoin to complete the transaction. USD1 is a brand new stablecoin, and there’s little reason to use the unproven token over a traditional financial transfer or more established stablecoin other than to cozy up to the Trumps. World Liberty Financial, the Trump venture that issues USD1, profits from deals like this by earning yield on the stablecoin’s backing assets, which function essentially as an interest-free loan to the Trumps. “Virtually every detail of [the] announcement ... contained a conflict of interest,” observed the New York Times.

Smith was the second of three executives charged in November 2023 with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, and he pleaded guilty. The third executive, Kyle Nagy, is still in the wind. Karony argues that because SafeMoon investors could theoretically have traced public blockchain transactions to observe that he and others were draining money from the liquidity pools, it wasn’t fraud (despite their representations that the pool was locked).

The Samourai Wallet case is on hold while the government decides whether to dismiss the criminal case based on Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s instructions to deprioritize enforcement of crypto crime. They’re charged with operating an unlicensed money transmitting business and money laundering conspiracy.
Samourai defendants have also accused prosecutors of withholding evidence that FinCEN representatives didn’t believe Samourai was a MSB, and have requested a hearing about a potential Brady violation. Prosecutors argue this was not an official position by FinCEN, and that the evidence was disclosed in a sufficiently timely fashion.

Cassandra Crossing/ Il blackout spagnolo ha fatto breccia nelle news e forse ha anche spaventato qualcuno. Ma non abbastanza. E la cosa più importante non è stata mai nemmeno accennata. (ZEUS News)ZEUS News
L'immagine mostra un paesaggio post-apocalittico, con un grande edificio in rovina parzialmente sommerso da vegetazione. L'edificio, che sembra essere un vecchio edificio industriale o una nave, è ricoperto di muschio e piante, con travi e strutture che si ergevano una volta ma ora sono crollate o cedute al tempo. La vegetazione è fitta e rigogliosa, con alberi e piante che crescono intorno e attraverso le strutture, indicando un lungo periodo di abbandono.
In primo piano, a destra, c'è un camion rosso, parzialmente sommerso e ricoperto di muschio, con detriti e rottami intorno. Il camion sembra essere stato abbandonato da tempo, con la sua carrozzeria arrugginita e danneggiata. Un piccolo ruscello scorre attraverso il paesaggio, con acqua chiara che riflette la vegetazione circostante.
Il cielo è grigio e nuvoloso, con un'atmosfera cupa e minacciosa. La luce è diffusa, creando un'atmosfera di desolazione e abbandono. L'immagine evoca un senso di abbandono e di natura che riprende il suo corso, con la vegetazione che cresce e si impadronisce di strutture umane.

Universe expected to decay in 10⁷⁸ years, much sooner than previously thought
The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation. They calculate that the last stellar remnants take about 1078 years to perish.Netherlands Research School for Astronomy (Phys.org)

L'immagine mostra un uomo in primo piano, vestito con un abito scuro e una cravatta verde, che parla in un microfono. Il suo sguardo è rivolto verso l'alto, suggerendo che potrebbe essere in un momento di riflessione o di enfasi durante il suo discorso. Sullo sfondo, c'è un banner blu con testo in bianco che recita "DSSARIATI A N - HAUT-COUT AU PLAT", indicando che l'evento potrebbe essere legato a un'istituzione o un'organizzazione francese. L'atmosfera sembra formale, tipica di un evento pubblico o di un'occasione ufficiale.

Einigung mit Hohenzollern: Streit um Kunstobjekte beigelegt
Gemälde, Elfenbeinmöbel und kostbares Geschirr: Jahrelang liefen Verhandlungen zwischen der öffentlichen Hand und der Familie der Hohenzollern zur Rückgabe von Tausenden Kunstobjekten. Jetzt gibt es eine Einigung.

It looks like it is #webcomicday, so here are some of the webcomics I read regularly (in alphabetical order).
* Aurora (comicaurora.com/). A high-fantasy adventure involving a lot of minor gods and gods' avatars. From Red of Overly Sarcastic Production fame.

* Girl Genius (girlgeniusonline.com/). THE steampunk saga, from Phil and Kaja Foglio.
* How to be a dragon (webtoons.com/en/canvas/how-to-…). A cute little webcomic about being a little dragon.
* Kill Six Billion Demons (killsixbilliondemons.com/). One of the best things I have read in ages. An adventure of truly cosmic scale.
* Magefront (magefrontcomic.com/comic). A necromancer in training for the military, her wraith, and the friends she made while trying not to think about the ongoing war.
* The Order of the Stick (giantitp.com/Comics.html). A classic among classics. What if the world, but DnD?
* Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (smbc-comics.com/). Some of the smartest humour you can find on internet.

* XKCD (xkcd.com/). If you don't know XKCD, what are you even doing?

The image shows a small, transparent book exchange box mounted on a black metal fence. The box is made of metal with a glass front, allowing visibility of the books inside. It is secured with a chain, suggesting a self-service model where books can be taken and returned. The box contains several books, including a children's book with a colorful cover featuring a cartoon character, and other books with visible titles such as "Storrelig Fire" and "Rudolf". The box is surrounded by lush green foliage, indicating it is placed in a garden or park setting. The background includes a tree and a glimpse of a grassy area, suggesting a peaceful outdoor environment.
