Not unexpectedly, the
stock markets reacted
to Trump's new tariffs with a selloff of around 3%, reducing the amount of
funny money in stock values by something like $3 trillion, the largest since
the Covid crash. I've lived through more than one of these, and I expect the
market to recover in due time. People who sell stocks for a living gotta eat.

Audrey Hale left behind numerous notebooks, art books and computer documents

the Columbine school shooting in 1999. Hale, the 28-year-old attacker and
biological female, began "fantasizing" about and researching mass shootings as
far back as 2017, according to investigators. A year later, she wrote
"detailed fantasies" about shooting up the Isaac T. Creswell Middle Magnet

hatred of certain types of people, the manifesto appears almost immediately,
