Gwiingwiish — Ojibway for Blue Jay — fights with courage, loyalty, and smarts. A trickster at heart, it wins with awareness, not arrogance.

Go @bluejays.com — be bold in the box, fearless on the field, sharp enough to outthink and outplay. 💙⚾️ #gojays

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

One of the reasons I love retro-SF futures is because they speak to this increasing trend of turning shit off and disconnecting devices. When AWS goes down and bricks your bed, fridge, and thermostat, the appeal of analog is keenly felt.

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

Seeing a crack of light. Canada’s pivot from U.S. reliance, a promise to double non-U.S. exports and right the ship. We’re not out of the woods yet — but maybe, just maybe, we’re moving toward something better. 💪🤞

Agtech is finally maturing. The hype has burned off, leaving room for grounded innovation — not moonshots, but meaningful systems. Real impact lies where biology meets engineering, not spreadsheets.

The “second curve” idea lands: the next act isn’t about slowing down, it’s about reinvention. And maybe, it’s time we stop treating experience like an expiry date.

Ah yes, the “more CO₂ = better plants” spell.
Sounds like something He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Fact-Checked would conjure up between rallies.
Plants aren’t Hogwarts students — they don’t thrive on dark magic, they need balance.
