what? crazy.
The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

This is interesting. Also, the idea that if Canada and the US end trade, we are only talking about a $60 billion deficit. Meanwhile, projections for free trade in Canada between the provinces would add $250 billion. ❤️🍁

@minibubbly.bsky.social Genuine question. I watch a number of US based youtube channels. Not sure how to balance this with "Support Canada" (not US). Do you have any data points on youtube, views, ads (vs purchases)?

FAA halts flights at Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando airports for "space launch debris" after SpaceX test flight 8 explodes, like test flight 7 did. Debris falling broadly across the Caribbean and Bahamas areas. FAA will certainly need to do mishap investigation again.

Not only is this the second explosion in a row for Musk, but this launch wasn't even supposed to happen—as the investigation into the _last_ one isn't done yet.
The only reason this launch went forward is Trump's FAA cleared it prematurely as a favor to Musk.
Now FL travelers are paying the price.

Falling debris from a failed test of a SpaceX Starship prototype disrupted flights at several Florida airports.
SpaceX’s Starship Rocket Disrupts Florida Airports With Unsuccessful Test Flight
Video showed the upper stage of the most powerful rocket ever built spinning out of control in space, a repeat of an unsuccessful test flight in January that led to debris falling over the Caribbean.
