The effects of tariffs depend on which goods are tariffed:
tariffs on consumption and intermediates act like shocks to supply;
tariffs on capital goods act like shocks to demand.
The concentration of the 2025 tariff increases on consumption goods and the relative sparing of capital goods limited the damage to output while amplifying the inflationary impulse.

The El Niño event that is developing over the Pacific Ocean is likely to be the strongest in living memory, @metoffice.gov.uk has warned.
Added to the effects of human-induced climate change, this is "very likely" to mean 2027 is the hottest year on record globally.

El Niño set to be 'strongest in living memory', says Met Office
Scientists say the growing El Niño weather pattern is an "unprecedented event" and means 2027 is likely to be the world's hottest year on record.

One of the worst (but by far not the worst) effects of genAI as technology: Seeding doubt & distrust in the last remaining parts of shared reality and in people's creativity or their skills... So…

Common plastic chemical linked to lifelong anxiety in new study
Exposure to a common plastic chemical before and shortly after birth may have lasting effects on behavior. Researchers found that male rats exposed early in life to DEHP—a plasticizer used in products ranging from medical devices to toys—showed significantly higher anxiety as adults, even long after exposure had ended. The animals were more hesitant to explore open spaces and spent more time frozen in place, classic signs of anxiety in rodents.

Mein Kommentar:
"Es kostet Überwindung, sich angesichts von Terrorismusvorwürfen an die Seite der Betroffenen zu stellen. Ich weiß das.
Die „Chilling Effects“, also das Schweigen und der Rückzug der vielen anderen, die sich gut überlegen, ob sie sich weiter sichtbar kritisch äußern, ist ein Ziel solcher Vorwürfe gegen politisch Andersdenkende.
Wen Trump meint, ist offensichtlich: Linke, Antifaschist*innen, LGBTIQ, Fe­mi­nis­t*in­nen und noch viele andere."

Sensory substitution under passive guidance: Effects on proprioceptive acuity and motor performance - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) offer a unique framework for investigating attention, perception, and sensorimotor interactions. While previous studies have examined how the type of stimuli provided by an SSD and the exploration strategy applied during active manipulation affect perception, proprioception, and motor-exploratory performance, these factors have not been explored in the context of passive guidance through an SSD. In this study, we examined how the type of stimuli (modality-spe…
