Do you remember the surprise announcement of a new social network in Davos this past January? Something that promised to be the "first" European social network?

Its name is #WSocial and it's a fork of #Bluesky. Its founders have ties with European politicians - but there is no official involvement by the EU.

You wouldn't know any of this from media reports because they all rehashed their talking points. So I wrote a post about it, dispelling some myths:

W Social uncovered: the reality behind the hype

An article dispelling myths about W Social, the new European platform that aims to rival X: it is a fork of Bluesky that shares many similarities with Eurosky and requires government ID to sign up.

@Rick_d_card I support the NDP and they will never form the government. Never. Not a chance. The NDP's job in Parliament is to negotiate concessions from a minority government working together with other small parties, i.e. the Greens and maybe the Bloc. In a minority situation the only leverage the NDP has is to threaten credibly to bring down the government.

Provincially the NDPs have a chance in some cases to form the government.

Iran already has a nuclear weapon, and they have already deployed it. It's called the Strait of Hormuz.

@joewo The "negotiation" is of course purely a sham.

@MatWright I wonder what the non-regulatory approach might be.

The Guardian reports that

> More than two-thirds of American farmers say they cannot afford to purchase enough fertiliser to get through the year, according to a new survey from the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Good. For my part I will continue to boycott American produce. Unlike them, I don't get to vote in the United States.

Negotiations are part of warfare. They are one more tactic.
I remember the endless negotiations during the Vietnam war, which only ended when the Americans were forced to flee.

“We have the electricity that is produced in Europe, from renewables and from nuclear. And therefore our strategy to decarbonise has not only been confirmed in the last years, but is growing in importance day by day. And our objective is very clear. We need to scale up the homegrown, affordable, reliable energy,” von der Leyen said.
And so does Canada. Talk about nation building, Mr Carney.
