In other words : "We don't think that the US is a solid investment any longer, but we don't want to say so out loud"
Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has proposed to reduce the amount of government bonds it holds in its $2.3 trillion portfolio, saying a lower share provides a comfortable margin for its liquidity needs

If you don't already follow @mazzucatom.bsky.social, she's 100% worth it. Her clear and concise, data-backed explanations about the economics of the public good can help us make better policy decisions in the direction of a healthier, better quality society.
We can't do 'good' in the economy, without a theory of what 'good' looks like. The how matters as much as the what. How we relate to each other, how we value each other, how we work together, how we govern our economy are not secondary questions. They define if we actually reach collective goals.

Now, this is a stand-up move. Glad to see Steven Guilbeault (finally) acting with strength and integrity for the environment and the future of our health and our world. I hope he finds his stride and his voice!
This afternoon, I informed the Prime Minister of my decision to resign as Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Minister responsible for Official Languages, Minister of Nature and Parks Canada, as well as his Lieutenant in Quebec. You can find my full statement below.
Here’s prof of one step in AGI - Open AI might not be accurate, but it seems to have mastered the art of jokes.
I've seen this on Bluesky and had to try it myself. The image below was the response to the prompt: "Show me a diagram of the US presidents since Herbert Hoover, with their names and years in office under their photos" Bravo, OpenAI, bravo.

Not listening to science, firing those who present evidence that things aren’t going in the right direction… the parallels with the Trump administration are horrifying. Let’s hope the US and the world are more resilient that the Titan sub

In light of the most recent bizarro appointment of someone singularly unqualified to an important post.

Taqueros are starting to close because of ICE. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social reports.
This is exactly the example we need to follow in Canada with the CBC/RadioCanada. An impartial, independent, fact-based news organization that exists at arms-length from government, even in financing (a CBC Trust anyone ?).
We have the answer in the UK: the BBC. Give them enough funding to dominate each new channel as it appears (just as they in turn did with radio, TV, news websites, breaking news alerts and podcast streaming) whilst upholding their (never perfect but pretty bloody good) impartiality standards
I love Springsteen. Always on point. He's know as the hardest working man in the business, but he's also the Hardest, working-man in the business, he may be wealthy by now, but he's always a solid down-to earth dude.
Bruce Springsteen just opened his European tour in Manchester with a powerful message about how things are going back home 🔥
Guys need to get over themselves and accept that women are just as capable of leading as men are. We must (as a society) lean to understand the different communication styles and skills of men and women and embrace them for what they bring to the table.
I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.
If we put aside the obvious commercial aspect of Zuck's idea, it does highlight one thing: People are lacking the skills do build solid friendships. This could be a teaching opportunity where chatbots could have a purpose - practice being a friend (and get feedback on how you are doing).
Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

This is a common tactic with narcissistic abusers. He is a monster and should be treated as such.
One thing that happens each time Trump reverses one of his decisions, is that it creates a ray of hope that creates a sense of, “Okay. Maybe he’s going to stop this nonsense.” He is not going to stop. Wipe that thought from your mind. It’s a dangerous and erroneous thought.
Well, on the bright side, if we can distract him from doing serious damage by having him take on serious issues like “shower head water pressure” we might all be better off. Maybe we can create a list of other great, but harmless ideas? I’ll start : “Parking spaces have gotten too small”

This is certainly an under appreciated angle to high rates of import tariffs - increase black market activity. If you thought these policies would be tough on crime, think again: Make Smuggling Great Again www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A surveiller. Musk n’est pas le seul oligarque qui promulgue des idées d’extrême droite. Et le Canada n’est pas immunisé.
Tobias Lutke qui a fondé Shopify et qui vaut 8,9 milliards$, selon @forbes.com est le Elon Musk canadien. Mêmes visées politiques, mêmes idées. Avec @rachelgilmore.bsky.social, on a tracé son portrait @danslesmedias.bsky.social le 19 février dernier. À voir ici 👇 video.telequebec.tv/player/53566...
