CONGRESS.NET · The President's Tariffs Have Erased Over $8000 from the Average 401k - Liberation Day is Liberating You From Your MoneyIt's no secret that tariffs are typically considered as bad for an open economy. There are a few times when they can be a useful tool in temporarily supporting a sector, or preventing foreign governments from intentionally undermining a business, but generally they just increase prices for everyone

I've just retired from 40 years in Japanese higher education. I'm happy, however, because I'm completely healthy. I just had a catheter operation that fixed the irregular heartbeat that was concerning for several months.

I still belong to the EU-Asia digital partnerships grant project, and a long presentation on Japan to students from California is scheduled for May.

I'm already back to outdoor activities, as you can see with these photos of sakura cherry blossoms in the castle ruins park near our house.

@grammargirl Yeah Mignon, I know that drill. Plus I have at least 20+ years on ya, so "keeping it together" takes on a completely new meaning.

These days, I have so many "to do" lists in my head, I need to make a To Do list to keep them straight. Thankfully, it is all small personal stuff. But when I ran my ad agency, I kept a 3-ring notebook glued to my hand so I wrote down everything when I was managing several clients at once.

Now I just have to remember to feed the cat.

What could possibly go wrong? #DOGE to rapidly rebuild #SocialSecurity #codebase.

Under any circumstances, a migration of this size and scale would be a massive undertaking, experts tell WIRED, but the expedited deadline runs the risk of obstructing payments to the more than 65 million people in the US currently receiving Social Security benefits.

All 28 videos for my Patreon course on the #Younger #Futhark, Powering Up the #Viking #Runes, are now up on YouTube.
It's a video diary (edited for conciseness of course!) of a #magical #retirement I undertook in 2020, one day for each rune, resulting in my writing a #rune-poem. Lots of reflections on the Younger row and on the processes of magical knowledge.
It's free to my Patrons, Patreon link below. At the moment, that's the only way I'm releasing it.

My Patreon is at: patreon.com/c/Chaotopia

Poilievre says he'll keep retirement age at 65 in play for boomers
nationalpost.com/news/politics

This is one of those policies on which I disagree with #PierrePoilievre : I support "gradually increas[ing] the age of eligibility for OAS and GIS payments to 67 from 65." As Canadians live longer and work for most is less physically wearying than it was fifty years ago, we should expect retirement to start later.
