The Supreme Court blocks the "Emergency" Tariffs!
Feb. 20th, 2026 02:14 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
thewayneThat's right, the highest court in the land blocked the tariffs in a 6-3 decision. Opposing the decision were - take a big guess - Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh.
There were a few problems. HIS use of tariffs were predicated on using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which a lower court declared did not give him the power to impose tariffs. Specifically, the law that created the act did not include the words "tariffs" or "duties" and that those powers did indeed lie in the House of Representatives and their specific control of the country's purse strings.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the ruling. From the NBC article: "The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration and scope," Roberts wrote. But the Trump administration "points to no statute" in which Congress has previously said that the language in IEEPA could apply to tariffs, he added.
As such, "we hold that IEEPA does not authorize the president to impose tariffs," Roberts wrote.
The 1977 IEEPA has never been previously invoked, so there is no historical precedent to draw from.
To try and throw a bone to the President's supporters, Gorsuch said this:
Now, I think this is a fine thing to say. But I wonder how many of his followers will be able to parse the meaning of it?
In response to the ruling, a hissy fit was thrown, a certain toddler was heard saying that 'I don't need the IEEPA!' and set all tariffs to 10%, which is a great reduction for lots of countries and an increase for some.
Also from the NBC article: "The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs, leaving in place ones he imposed on steel and aluminum using different laws, for example. But it upends his tariffs in two categories. One is country-by-country or “reciprocal” tariffs, which range from 34% for China to a 10% baseline for the rest of the world. The other is a 25% tariff Trump imposed on some goods from Canada, China and Mexico for what the administration said was their failure to curb the flow of fentanyl."
It looks like the $175 billion that has been paid by importers could be subject to refunds, we'll see what happens. It's going to be a huge mess trying to pry that money out of the Treasury, regardless.

To try and throw a bone to the President's supporters, Gorsuch said this:
For those who think it important for the Nation to impose more tariffs, I understand that today’s decision will be disappointing. All I can offer them is that most major decisions affecting the rights and responsibilities of the American people (including the duty to pay taxes and tariffs) are funneled through the legislative process for a reason. Yes, legislating can be hard and take time. And, yes, it can be tempting to bypass Congress when some pressing problem arises. But the deliberative nature of the legislative process was the whole point of its design. Through that process, the Nation can tap the combined wisdom of the people’s elected representatives, not just that of one faction or man. There, deliberation tempers impulse, and compromise hammers disagreements into workable solutions. And because laws must earn such broad support to survive the legislative process, they tend to endure, allowing ordinary people to plan their lives in ways they cannot when the rules shift from day to day."
Now, I think this is a fine thing to say. But I wonder how many of his followers will be able to parse the meaning of it?

Former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested in connection to the Trump-Epstein Files
Feb. 19th, 2026 06:53 pmthewayneThis is the difference between the current administration in the USA and the rest of the world: this admin won't prosecute people who declare loyalty to the current junta.
Andrew was taken into custody early Thursday and held for 12 hours for questioning, then released. According to the latest release of The Trump-Epstein Files, Andrew gave confidential information to Epstein that was available to the Royal Family. There are also allegations that he made arrangements with Epstein to have a woman trafficked to the UK for him to have sex with.
While Andrew was stripped of his royal titles, he is still in the Royal Line of Succession, at #8. The UK would have to pass a law to remove him from that position. The King and rest of the royal family were not given advance notice of his arrest. Today is Andrew's 66th birthday.
He is the first royal in almost 400 years to be arrested and accused of a crime. Other royals have been accused of civil fines, such as speeding.
Virginia Giuffre sued Andrew in 2015, alleging that he raped her on three occasions when she was a teen. She took her own life last year. Her family welcomed news of the arrest.

Fannish Fifty Challenge 2026: Post # 9: This One's for the Amigurumi Fancrafters
Feb. 18th, 2026 05:29 pmride_4everHere's what happens when fandom and amigurumi collide: Crochet Your Celebrity Crush by Lee Sartori, ISBN 9780760393659.
Fannish 50 2026 #10: Moulin Rouge!
Feb. 17th, 2026 10:01 amelayna(Random scattered and significant spoilers for both the movie and musical (stage) versions, I'm assuming anyone reading has watched at least one.)
I think everyone in the TPM fandom loved Moulin Rouge! when it came out. Ewan was so young and gorgeous, the music so fun, the costumes and dancing dazzling, the heartbreaking loss of love so tragic. If anyone didn't adore the movie, they kept that quiet.
(I remain surprised that there wasn't a whole slew of AUs where Quinn found Christian's book and then sought him out. Fandom, you let me down!)
I finally got to see Moulin Rouge! The Musical last weekend. I've been wanting to see it since I saw it announced, and a touring company finally came to town.
It's often interesting to see different versions of a show you love. I've managed to accept it's not going to be the same, and to enjoy it for what it is. (Unless it's totally messed up and violates the heart of the original, of course.)
The stage version keeps what I'd consider the main songs, such as Lady Marmalade, Come What May, and Your Song. Many of the others are replaced by newer songs that fill the same basic plot points. I liked the original songs, but I found the replacements all very appropriate (and good songs).
There are a variety of other changes. Christian is American, with more of an 'aw shucks' vibe than Ewan's portrayal, the show within a show is now about a gangster, jettisoning the Indian setting, the Argentinian no longer has narcolepsy, etc. It feels less Christian's story, as it introduces the Moulin Rouge, Zidler, and the Duke before him, and it wasn't clear to me from Christian's comments about love if the audience would realize that Satine's death was inevitable. It's made very clear that Satine and the Duke have a sexual relationship, which now seems rather puritanical that she manages to avoid one in the movie.
The thing that really struck me though was that Satine in the musical never mentions wanting to be an actress. Even knowing that she's dying, she wants to save the Moulin Rouge for the benefit of the others, the people who are her 'family.' And then it wasn't really clear to me that she succeeded in that goal. I found that a little jarring. I mean, yes, in the movie, we know she's not going to be 'an actress' for very long, because we know she's going to die. But she does get her opening night! She achieves her dream for herself! And in the musical, she doesn't have her own goal for herself, it's all about taking care of others. *sigh*
I was relieved in later years that the movie had come out in 2001, before I was aware of the fannish discussions about the role of women in so many shows, and how often women die for man pain. Because yes, Satine does essentially die for Christian's man pain, that's the main plot point. But the movie was so tragic and heartbreaking and sometimes we just need that kind of story. The angst of losing love, *swoon.*
These days I'm much more likely to have an instinctive 'ugh' recoil at yet another show featuring woman death/man pain. Fannish discussion has made me aware of that theme and also female agency (or more often, lack thereof).
Anyway, if you loved the movie, I do recommend seeing the musical if you get a chance. I don't know that I could love any new version of Moulin Rouge as much as I love the original, but the musical was enjoyable and fabulous to watch.

Fannish 50 2026 #09: this year :-(
Feb. 16th, 2026 11:18 amelaynaI read on a friend's post that spoikedluv passed away. She wasn't a fan I recall interacting with, but I've seen her commenting on other people's DWs. I read her obituary at https://www.lappeusfuneralhome.com/melanie-wilday-obituary.html, looked back at her DW, and it was heartbreaking to realize that she made a normal chatty update post on the day she passed away. The obituary doesn't specify, apparently something like a massive heart attack.
She'd been posting regularly, updates on her mother. Her *mother.* Who is still alive, to lose her daughter at age 60. Excuse my language, but Jesus fuck. This seems a particularly horrible year in so many ways.
Hugs your friends, love your family, burn the fancy candle, drink the special bottle of wine, cuddle your kitties. Nothing is guaranteed.

I just finished a very interesting book: Hench, by Natalie Zina Walshchots
Feb. 12th, 2026 09:06 pmthewayneI started re-reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld series in December as a distraction, but decided I needed a break. Hench was recommended to Russet a while back, and it sounded interesting. I was fortunate to be able to snag a copy in my ebook sales within the last week or so and read it.
The book follows perhaps about a year in the life of Anna, who at the beginning of the book is getting short-term jobs at a temp agency doing various jobs for supervillains. They're called Henches, doing things like filing, data entry, driving (bonus if you're a certified stunt driver), etc. Muscle roles are handled through a different agency and they are called Meat, and are paid more and get free medical - if you don't mind the medical care being provided by veterinarians and medical school dropouts and doctors who've lost their licenses.
Anna is excellent with spreadsheets and data analysis and lands a pretty good gig that looks like it might go long-term, maybe even permanent!, until a superhero casually back-hands her across a room and her leg gets multiple compound fractures. While she's recovering, she starts thinking about ways to add up the damage and lives lost that the "heroes" cause with such casual and callous disregard - and planning how to make them pay!
It was an excellent read, and I came very close to finishing it in a day. Had I only known that I had about four pages to go....
Anyway, interesting perspective on the hero/villain situation. The book contains a short story titled Meat, and a sequel to Hench is coming out in early May, titled Villain. I'm quite looking forward to it. I haven't pre-purchased it yet, but am thinking about it. The short story distorted the apparent page count of the main story, or I would have finished it in the same day that I started it.
I found it to be well-written and very engaging. She has an excellent style for illustrating area color of The Big East Coast City. Her descriptions of some of the violence, especially Anna's final revenge may be somewhat disturbing, but that's also the point of the book - it's intended to illustrate that full-power superhero/villain fights cause a lot of carnage, and bystanders are injured or killed in gruesome ways.
This is Natalie's first novel. She's previously written two books of poetry, one of which has won a prize. She's a Torontanian. I'd love to see some of her poetry, but those books are not available through the Apple Bookstore, I'll have to check other sources and see if I can get ahold of them.
EDIT: big shout-outs to the book being very inclusive on LGBT and neurodivergency. This is something that the author is very involved in.

Fannish 50 2026 #08: Domhnall Gleeson?
Feb. 12th, 2026 11:07 amelaynaIs that Domhnall Gleeson in the newest Taylor Swift music video? Good for him! Also, I'm not into Kylux, but I hope it is inspirational to fandom. I haven't watched the whole thing, just noticed that he was in bed with a cactus, and that certainly seemed potentially relevant. Appropriate for Kylo, yes?

"You don't turn the Titanic around overnight." Thus spake the Vice-President.
Feb. 11th, 2026 09:25 pmthewaynePeople think Biden was a gaff-machine. His successor has proven that he's an imbecile, and his standby is little better.
While talking about the economy, a year into their reign, he uttered the above line at a stop in Toledo, Ohio.
Sorry, Captain Mascara. Your first year is largely coasting on the economy inherited from your predecessor. EXCEPT EVEN YOU GUYS MANAGED TO SCREW THAT UP. If your boss and you had done absolutely nothing, the economy would be ticking away quite nicely on all cylinders. Instead, you morons imposed tariffs to "bring back manufacturing" and we've lost 68,000 manufacturing jobs. That worked really well. You promised to lower grocery prices, then had to admit 'That's really hard, don't think we can do that.'
Bunch of utter morons.
But hey! One things going well: presidential graft is at an all-time high!

Moderna says FDA refuses to review its application for experimental flu shot
Feb. 11th, 2026 08:41 amthewayneModerna developed a new flu vaccine using RNA technology that was going to be the framework for a combined Covid/flu shot - a twofer. Which would be really nice as a lot of people still die from both flu and covid, getting both shots at the same time would literally be a real life-saver.
From the article: "Moderna said the move is inconsistent with previous feedback from the agency from before it submitted the application and started phase three trials on the shot, called mRNA-1010. The drugmaker said it has requested a meeting with the FDA to “understand the path forward.”
Moderna noted that the agency did not identify any specific safety or efficacy issues with the vaccine, but instead objected to the study design, despite previously approving it. The company added that the move won’t impact its 2026 financial guidance. (Moderna stock fell 7% in after-hours trading)
Moderna’s jab showed positive phase three data last year, meeting all of the trial goals. At the time, Moderna said the stand-alone flu shot was key to its efforts to advance a combination vaccine targeting both influenza and Covid-19."
What I absolutely love is that The Orange Idiot launched Project Warp Speed which spearheaded the development of RNA vaccines during Covid and saved untold lives, ignoring the irony of his quack treatment musings on live TV. This is an extension of that. And now people think that RNA vaccines reprogram their genes, and science is being overridden by what these idiots have done to the country.
I expect Moderna will just go to their European branch and have them give it to the EU vaccine review board, and tell the USA 'No vaccine for you!'
