Good morning! This is my first post of Bluesky. I am officially getting off twitter. I hate what Musk has done to that platform.

The current President of the US is lawless. At least, he thinks he is above the law.

The era of probably one of the most charismatic leaders in the Caribbean — Ralph Gonsalves — has finally come to an end. Dr Gonsalves lost his bid for a sixth term as Prime Minister of St Vincent & the Grenadines. His successor is Godwin Friday.

So, who was responsible for the vetting, in this case?

I am a strong supporter of the Prime Minister. But I think he made a mistake here in not consulting fully with BC First Nations.

“This is what corruption looks like,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said about a firm with ties to Kristi Noem secretly working on a DHS ad campaign. “They’re stealing money from the American people’s pockets and depositing it into their bank accounts.”
Lawmakers Call for Probe of How Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts
The demands for an investigation come after a ProPublica story revealed that the Noem-connected Strategy Group was secretly a subcontractor on the ad campaign.

10 years ago Mark Carney warned about the "existential threat" posed by climate catastrophe and the need to move from fossil fuel burning.
Now he is using Stephen Harper's lines about becoming an "energy super power."
This is a powerful analysis on the MOU.

The Pipeline MOU is a Tragic Failure of Vision
At best, Mark Carney capitulated to Danielle Smith's backward view of the future. At worst, the Prime Minister shares that view

Beautiful! Yes the light reflecting on the grass from the window works perfectly. I need to try that.

I’m trying to do more traditional art. Here’s a little study of the Applecross house in pencil crayon. I was trying to see if I could recreate the light shining from the window. I think it’s worked quite well, though the cottage is a bit wonky and the chimney was weirdly disastrous.
