Trump lacks precision in understanding international politics, but Excel's in factual inaccuracies. He would rather create drama or draw attention to an audience who values boldness over factual accuracy.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially.

Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

The UK's only monkey forest is less than 5 miles from my home. There are 140 free-roaming Barbary Macaques that go about their day as people walk through

🇨🇦 Good Canadian economic news today:

✅ Wages have now surpassed inflation for 21 months in a row; that’s something tangible and it’s a big deal

✅ 1.4 million more people are working today than before the pandemic

✅ Inflation came in at 2%, marking 10 months in target range

Great point @dean-winnipeg.bsky.social.
We all need to make sure to loudly point out Poilievre’s disinfo. This isn’t America. Don’t let that sort of shit find fertile ground here. Poilievre would have let everyone starve; he even said that as Cons, they don’t believe in govt helping financially.

This is a great feature to use against those nasty trolls.
One thing I am using, and would like to encourage the use of, is the "Hide reply for everyone" option.

When I see MAGA trolls, I'm just hiding the reply from everyone and sending them to the block party. Fire needs oxygen to burn. Don't give it to them.

Bunch of funnel chantarelles (Craterellus tubaeformis) from earlier this year. These have been abundant here and my #1 foraging mushroom. They’re easy to cook and freeze and go well with pizza, pies, lasagna and a lot of things. #fungifriends #mushrooms #foraging
