It's official now: tariffs on most imports from China will go up to 104% tonight Tariffs will remain at 20% for rare earth minerals, pharmaceuticals, gold, semiconductors, etc, exempted from the April 2nd tariffs, but this is the end of the vast majority of direct US-China trade

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

I knew it was coming but its still bad: China has officially halted shipments of several rare earth minerals to the US specifically used as inputs for cars, semiconductors, and aerospace companies US co's have basically zero stockpiles because of balance sheet concerns

Creatine is a supplement most women should be taking, especially post-menopause. 5 grams/day combined with resistance exercise increases lean mass and muscle strength but has inconsistent effects on bone mineral density. It makes productive training slightly more productive.

This week, this day, has been a rollercoaster unlike any other I’ve seen. ETH is effectively deemed a Commodity as we’ve always known it to be. I’m proud to be on team @Coinbase, the trusted partner and custodian for many of the issuers who had 19b-4’s approved tonight.

If these leaked benchmarks for Gemini 3 Pro are correct (could not verify yet) $GOOGL about to drop a model that dwarfs other models and claims the num 1 spot while being both trained and inferenced on TPUs. $GOOGL about to disrupt the whole AI supply chain with its full stack.

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Elon can't make an AI as good as Claude. So instead of actually trying to win over users in a free marketplace, he's trying to have the pentagon stop using Claude AND ban all their contractors (incl. Amazon, NVIDIA, etc) from even working with Anthropic. tinpot dictatorship stuff

Joey Politano 🏳️‍🌈

really pathetic comms strategy from the pentagon today. they know threatening to destroy Anthropic unless they allow Claude to do domestic mass surveillance & killbots is unacceptable and unpopular, so instead of justifying it, they just start insulting Dario Amodei

Import Chinese battery: 145% tariff Import Chinese battery inside Chinese laptop: 20% tariff Import Chinese battery inside Vietnamese laptop: 0% tariff Fuckin brilliant. A+ work here team. I am so glad there are such smart people working on our trade policy.

a smarter man than David would perhaps realize a campaign stoking anti immigrant backlash against Mexicans, Haitians, Guatemalans, etc would inevitably lead to anti immigration backlash against Indian tech workers. Don’t play with fire and then say it’s a psyop when you get burnt
