The West is once again siding with cruelty, vicious self-interest, and white supremacy.
The sooner its hegemony collapses, the closer humanity will be to actual peace.
The US overthrew the peaceful democratic govt in Iran and installed a brutal dictator because the Americans wanted cheaper oil.
Tell me again which of these two countries is the evil one?
Maybe I’m out of the loop but did someone just say that Trump fired a crusty gnome?
Every election it's like we forget what Conservatives do. They cut taxes to the rich, and cut funding to services and programs the rich don't use. Every damn time. It's literally why the Conservative party exists.
We're like Charlie Brown thinking Lucy's not going to pull the ball out *this* time.
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody:
The Tim Houston government in Nova Scotia:
“Let’s give the biggest tax cuts to the people who make the most money.”
There's no reason for Iran to attack NATO nation Turkey—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.
There's no reason for Iran to attack a UK base in Cyprus—but a drone did. Iran denies sending it.
Now Azerbaijan has been attacked. Iran denies involvement.
I think this is Israel.
This is what class war looks like.
All of this.
The rich against the world.
And the world–for now–is losing.
Yup. It was a room full of artists, most of them successful professionals who make their living in the field. One kind-of-famous guy who had moved to Los Angeles but had come back for this event. And our cretin Premier is like, "I don't understand art, and I don't care about you people at all."
Tim Houston came to an arts event a few years ago. He told us "I love art! I love artists! I tell my friends the best way to get rich is to buy houses where artists live!"
He laughed. The room was silent. Angry.
He looked around, his smile fading.
So he said it a second time and walked out laughing.

Yeah, it caught me off guard. House oil went up 12 cents last night, and it’s supposed to go up another 12 tonight apparently?
Why doesn't the US just overthrow the Iranian gov't and put the Shah in power? Seems simple to me.
(obligatory /s for those who need it)
So ... buy house oil now (we've got about 4 weeks left in the tank) or wait and hope things calm down?
They won't call it WW3 unless there are white countries fighting each other.
Why do we call it the “male gaze” and not the Manopticon?
Alternatively, that stretch of Poplar could be made one-way, southbound.
If it’s synced, it would stop folks from trying to turn left from Poplar onto Quinpool without a light — they’d have to wait for their own green.
Yeah it's getting a little scary. Not sure what the accident stats are, but anecdotally it's feeling pretty regular.
Between Oxford and Connaught we had two accidents just today.
Gonna need @seebo429.bsky.social to lay down some garbage cans soon
The city needs to take a look at Poplar/Quinpool. Another accident there today. Folks picking up their kids getting t-boned from people speeding to catch the light at Connaught regularly. Maybe time for a traffic light?
"Particularly now, with everything that is happening ..."
Every interview these days.
2 unhoused community members have died this week while trying to survive outside, unsheltered. Two. In just few days. One in Amherst and one in Halifax.
Up next. Fillmore’s motion for a staff report to scrap the AAA standard for the core bike network
Oh god yes this too
Our lives right now are like “I bought a new rug, it’s so pretty!” And then 2 months later: “This rug will now listen to your conversations and charge you when you step on it.”
Ugh goddamit it. I just starting using Discord. :(
screenshot of Facebook Marketplace listing showing a bottle of Star Trek themed perfume called "Pon Farr"
Close up shot of the cover, with Spock looking lustful. The tagline on the box is "Drive him crazy" in an old sci-fi font.
A bit of the back of the box. The text says: "Pon Farr. Leave logic behind. Because having is not always so pleasing a thing as wanting."
Seen on Marketplace, Pon Farr perfume. "Leave Logic Behind."
A German late night bakery called Gluten Nacht.
On the plus side, it was an excellent article. I enjoy Moscovitch's clear, honest, and present style of writing. I think it says something about how much Halifax has grown that we have him as a journalist, rather than always losing our best to Toronto.
