A banner for the protest against the threats to arts, heritage, and culture in the 2026 Nova Scotia budget. The protest is on Wednesday, March 4th, at noon, at Province House.
If you’re involved in the arts, or enjoy any form of arts and culture made in Nova Scotia, and can make it on Wednesday, please come down to show your support of artists and condemnation of the proposed budget
@goingmedieval.bsky.social I do so enjoy hearing you enthuse! However, I’ve been trying to find the podcast episode you did with a friend about popes, and you used the phrase ‘battle pope 2, electric boogaloo’, and have completely failed. Was this just a fever dream on my part?
Excellent thoughts from @goingmedieval.bsky.social on the pap and poison that is AI:

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

It is not well enough known that HRM has contracted the CARE Team through souls harbour. In the job posting for members of this team, souls harbour REQUIRES as a NON-NEGOTIABLE that the person follow the gospel mission.
As politicians stoke fear and hatred about immigrants, always remember this...
So much fun! Two of my favourite public people (not quite as catchy as pube party) on one of my favourite podcasts. Woot!!
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I knew Leopold was truly awful and the Congo was horrific, but he’s so much worse than I knew. Can we have an episode on how much Leopold ii sucked?
During the discussion of the aptness of accountancy professorship with book history, I immediately flashed to the complaints to Ea-nāsir about his sucky copper…
You have not let us down. That charge is laid at the feet of the BBC.
Such madness. I’m so sorry the fools are seemingly devoted to making others’ lives worse. I feel, however, you have made so many of our lives better that your career should only experience a mild bump in the road.

So much fun! I’m lounging in bed after Covid/Flu shots, and was inspired to jump up on the bed and look at the Longview of London from Bankside that spans my bed width. Look what I found!
This is a truly glorious episode. Everyone will be better for having listened.
Thank you both for such a wondrous, glowing, sublime conversation. I was not expecting the topic from the title; it was so, so, so much better. I have learned new words and ideas. You have both warmed me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Exciting news!
Lance Sampson, who is the musician Aquakultre, has filed an Application with the Canadian Minister of Justice to review the conviction of Lance's great-great grandfather, Daniel Sampson.
Yesterday, Aquakultre released the official video of "Gallows," about Daniel Sampson.

An excellent (as usual), frustrating, depressing, & hopeful episode. Thank you! In 1986ish I won a speed reading contest at my high school in Halifax, NS. I won 3 books, & everyone got at least 1. They were all from a banned books list (I only remember Lives of Girls and Women). Was proud of my HS.

Just in from two SF No Kings events (Ocean Beach and then a colossal march and rally downtown). So many good signs, so much devotion to justice, liberty, human rights, and Jesus lord the one part of the US economy that must be booming right now: INFLATABLE critter costumes.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
As you attended No Fascists (how I brand it) events today, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny. It's outstanding and something you will keep referring to over and over again.
The CSIS report declares, “Radicals will argue that peaceful politics will inevitably fail and that only violence will make a difference,” but I have no idea who these radicals are because in my 40 years around direct action organizing, I’ve only encountered theoretical enthusiasm for violence from the sidelines and the occasional young hothead (almost always white and male) in movements whose vast majority and leadership are committed to nonviolence. I do know someone who was part of a violent group in the early ’70s and then became wanted fugitive; he’s since become an ardent advocate of nonviolence. What too often gets described as left-wing violence at protests is property destruction, which can be dangerous and intimidating and is usually opposed by protest organizers, but should be regarded as distinct from harming human life. For example, at the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, the Black Bloc, a small cadre among the 50,000 protesters smashed a lot of shop windows quite spectacularly. But there are no reports of activists harming human beings. Police, on the other hand, used tear gas; pepper spray; rubber, plastic, and wooden bullets; concussion grenades; and armored vehicles against protesters bystanders resulting in many injuries. Nonetheless, for years afterward, mainstream media outlets portrayed this event as an occasion of shocking activist violence.

The chaos that is our world is important, but this very good boy will help us remember why we need to keep fighting.
