Hi @sesquiotic.bsky.social ! Another Albertan (and a fan of yours, btw). I managed to get this from my balcony last night:

Reason number x to avoid phone calls 😆

Doesn’t Apple’s accessibility feature have this already? I thought there was something about gestures, but I could be wrong…

Sorry, lovely people, but I'm not both-siding genAI. It's killing our planet, it's destroying people's lives and brains, it's enriching the already too rich. Yes, having conversations about it and educating people is important, but to me, that doesn't include acceptance or working with users.

Super delighted to be part of a panel like this! Or super nervous. Or both!

Or just a bunch of humans having conversations with other humans. Editing is a conversation, after all.

If you’re wondering what an editorial collective is, here’s an explanation.

Super excited! I can’t believe I’m now part of a group I was always a fan of.

Why regulating the book market contradicts conventional wisdom about competition Fixed book price regulations can improve experiences for book buyers, as sellers shift towards competing on customer service and book variety.

Fixing retail book prices is a common policy in Europe, but how does preventing competition affect booksellers and buyers?

Why Trump fails to understand China’s trade war tactics, and what his negotiators should be reading US diplomats may do well to read some Chinese history to understand Beijing’s tactics in any trade talks.

US diplomats may do well to read some Chinese history to understand Beijing’s tactics in any trade talks.

What just happened in the Oval Office is the death knell of the pax americana. Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan need to step up to save what's salvageable of the liberal order. Canada shares a 9,000 km border with the fastest-radicalizing bully in town. We either smarten up fast or we disappear.

I always assume that anyone who buys my children loud things secretly hates me.

The Canadian Ghost Fentanyl mounties can fill their time by pointing the way to US refugees seeking a calmer life under democracy north of the border.

“Deport them all”, “White lives matter”: messages on signs in St. Albert this weekend held by losers making N*zi salutes.

We need you again.

Coal is a threat to us all.

A threat to our water.

And water is life.

Thanks Trump, for reminding Canadians why our country is worth fighting for For all our problems – and they are many – we are still a haven of stability, tolerance and moderation in a world that is short of all three at the moment

I’d like to start my Bluesky journey by sharing two very apt pieces about Canada.
