The WTO this morning reappointed Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as director-general, the first woman and first African to hold the role. Largely expected, but everyone was waiting to see if the US would be a wild card ahead of a new admin that does not support her www.wto.org/english/news...

Last night, I was minding my own business when my editor texts me a link to Trump threatening a 25 percent tariff on Mexico and Canada. Amid vivid flashbacks to all the times during the first admin when I covered policy-by-tweet announcements, I wrote it up: insidetrade.com/share/181732

A solid collection of trade types if you, like me, are into that sort of thing. I have made this starter pack into a feed, so if you're a trade person and not on here, say hi! (h/t to @samuelmarclowe.bsky.social for making the starter pack)

I enjoy Bluesky, but I am mostly a lurker. I do not have a poster's heart.
Does one post their way into becoming a poster or are posters only born?

I cannot overstate how weird and upsetting this winter has been in Minnesota.
Just 7 inches of snow *this whole season* in Minneapolis. Park ice rinks, a mainstay of winter, were open for a week or so before melting. Highs in the 40s/50s every other day.
It's just...not cold. In Minnesota.

I've only been on Bluesky a couple months, so I can only hope to be witness to such levels of shitpostery in the future
If you’re wondering about the Alf hog thing, I wrote up the origin story:

Twenty-five years ago today, Lucy Lawless hosted "Saturday Night Live." This one sketch she did burned itself into my brain.
I wrote about it once. It's still, maybe stupidly, one of the things I am most proud of.
