Yeah, there's a bit of a discussion about this further down the thread. Yahweh was originally some sort of god of war (and maybe storms? See the great flood), but as his worship became more prominent he assumed the attributes (and name, even) of the chief god of the pantheon, El.

$451m in trade deficit with Russia just in January and February this year.

The US has a trade surplus with the UK, but still applied a 10% tariff to them.

He slapped a 50% tarrif on Lesotho, so it's clearly not about size or impact.

And the UK got a 10% tariff applied even though the US doesn't have a goods trade deficit with them.

He's laughing with them, they're out there gaslighting people for him.

It's a reference to Berserk, it has a group of villains called the God Hand.

On the Giant Water Bug (bottom left) they aren't even mouthparts, those are it's first pair of legs.

Gary's substack is a good read: https://garymarcus.substack.com/

The use of "urchin" to refer to children is separate from its original meaning.

Maybe it became that as a word for something underfoot?
