I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war.
While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

Your overwhelm is the goal. The 200+ executive orders in Trump’s first days exemplifies @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s Shock Doctrine using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist.

Everything you know about wrinkly fingers is probably wrong. Particularly, it is not a physical act of water on the body, it is a neurological effect of the body on itself. People who have fingers with severed nerves do not prune on those fingers.
@hankgreen.bsky.social do my dogs toes get wrinkly if he’s in the water for too long? Are humans that spend a lot of time in water less likely to wrinkle? Is there a scishow video on this that I missed?

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.
