Well this is kinda funny. Google Finance has been warning me for weeks that it'll be switching to its new system so that it can incorporate AI. The first day they get rid of the option to view the old setup is the day the AI summary discusses fear about AI.

US equity futures slip over artificial intelligence capital expenditures
Major stock index futures fell as market participants reacted negatively to the latest round of corporate earnings from tech heavyweights. Disappointment stemmed primarily from high artificial intelligence spending projections, which weighed heavily on free cash flow metrics and sparked broader concerns regarding the monetization timeline of AI technologies.

Thought of this after reading this. That seems, super easy? www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

It would cost $8 billion for Cuba to generate around 93% of its electricity from renewables, meaning it would no longer need to import oil and gas for electricity, according to an April analysis by Cashman. A 100% renewable electricity system would cost $19 billion. “The first threshold breaks the main external lever of US coercion; the second completes the electricity transition,” the report concluded.

What a wild statement to come from someone who subscribes to, and presumably regularly reads, a news outlet like @tanglenews.bsky.social. I just can’t believe someone would respond to that news with such a “ho hum” attitude.

The response to a tax on Americans is...a tax on Canadians? www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/politics/fed...

Screenshot of a quote from Doug Ford: “But it’s tit for tat. You’re going to increase tariffs on us? I can tell you one thing, a tariff on Canada is a tax on Americans. They know it. They’re feeling the crunch down there. They have the uncertainty down there, especially in Michigan. They want to tariff us, I say we tariff them back,” he said.

Luke Edwards@edwardsluke· Feb 19

Lol

Screenshots of back to back BlueSky posts:
First: Daly: We have more work to do to get inflation down, but don't want to get behind, or over our skis...
Second: Trump: "We inherited a mess with high prices and high inflation and we're turned it around and made it great. It's all a con job. Airfares, hotels, car payments, rent, sports events, groceries -- everything is down. Everything is down. Dairy. Eggs. Potatoes and CHICKEN!"

I've been thinking about this. Carney's references to the US in his Davos were really just the same things their own administration has been boasting about for months. But with them, no perceived slights go unpunished. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... from @aaronwherry.bsky.social

Screenshot of CBC story about Mark Carney's Davos speech: "But then it is necessary to ask whether Carney's remarks in Davos were needless, pointless, unjustifiably provocative or insulting — whether it was simply or primarily about scoring "cheap political points." One might also ask how much of the speech — or specifically which parts — the American administration would disagree with."

"No one heard anything, no one saw anything, there are no witnesses" is what the mobster in the movies says when he's clearly hiding something.

Screenshot from the story that says: Fico took to X on Wednesday, saying: “I must emphatically reject the lies of the POLITICO portal about how I assessed my meeting with US President D. Trump at an informal summit in Brussels. No one heard anything, no one saw anything, there are no witnesses, but nothing prevented the POLITICO portal from coming up with lies.”

Trump’s first year back in office has produced just one major piece of legislation, a massive package of tax cuts and energy deregulation — the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” as Trump dubbed it — which Republicans passed using a budgetary maneuver that circumvented the filibuster and allowed for passage with just 51 votes. He has not outlined a major legislative agenda for the rest of his term, governing largely by executive orders.
