I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”

Actually kinda hopeful!

Doug? Dr. I forget his name cuz he’s been awol for so long medical officer?

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: "The car­bon capt­ure comp­any Cli­meworks on­ly capt­ur­es a fracti­on of the CO2 it promises its machines can capt­ure. The comp­any is fail­ing to car­bon off­set the em­issi­ons resulting from its operati­ons – which have grown rapidly in recent ye­ars."

This is NOT acceptable! @canadahealthwatch.ca @liberalca.bsky.social www.ola.org/en/members/a... We need to make some really loud noise Ontario!

In his conclusion to The General Theory J.M.Keynes wrote: "The outstanding faults of the economic society in which we live are its failure to provide for full employment and its arbitrary and inequitable distribution of wealth and incomes". Not much has changed since 1936.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Can we please stop staying that, after Trump leaves office, the $400 million plane from Qatar will be given to the "Trump Presidential Library" Libraries do not fly on planes. The plane will be given to Trump.

7.5 years ago, I asked 3 carefully worded questions to central banks to test key claims of #MMT. Turns out they hold up. I didn’t ask the Fed, hoping someone else might want to verify for themselves. I'm still waiting. The questions still matter. @stephaniekelton.bsky.social @wbmosler.bsky.social

"US auto industry criticizes Donald Trump's UK trade deal" thehill.com/business/529... "it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts"

Oh this absolutely sucks. Carla Hayden was an amazing Librarian of Congress, and a *massive* improvement over her predecessor who was there forever and was terrible.

Ah, but of course. #OligarchEra 🤡 @washingtonpost.com @jeffstein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If it feels like the world order is changing, that's because it is. In terms of energy gluttony, the US empire is a shadow of its former self. The American century is over, and will never return. economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/05/04/t...

The Liberals have been known to do silly things but surely Carney isn't this naive? Doug Ford would never make this mistake. @mark-carney.bsky.social

I have long wondered why the NDP hasn't embraced #MMT instead they repeat Conservative narratives about taxes funding the currency issuer. Canada needs progressives, and they need #MMT. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

Let this be a warning to you all: nobody steals my charts and gets to be Prime Minister of Canada

A healthy democracy needs trustworthy platforms. X (Twitter) can’t be trusted. I encourage all Canadian media to move to Bluesky. I’ll keep running my news bots for free — if you enjoy my work, please consider donating! ko-fi.com/drewt20737

I don't particularly love it, but it does make me wonder what people think a ToS agreement is for & why they think the agreements are so long.

On the eve of the long weekend, the Doug Ford government moved Bill 5, repealing the Endangered Species Act. Its replacement narrows the definition of habitat to be protected and lets politicians decide what species are listed as at risk. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-enda...
