So remember, folks, if someone tries to steal your car, be sure to thank them for complimenting your taste in vehicles.
Premier Doug Ford today called President Trump's threats to make Canada the 51st state "a compliment."

So why not be a non-profit without any ownership as opposed to a public benefit corporation? Or even better a user-cooperative where each user owns a share in the company and elects the directors?
Bluesky is built to make social more like the Web again, so we will never suppress links. Link to your writing, your art, your personal site — this is the social internet, designed from the ground up to be open and interoperable.
Hard to describe as a journalist how grateful I am to have a text-based app that does not suppress hyperlinks. I don’t know if people realize exactly how hostile the corporate internet has gotten toward news.
