I’m in a local writer’s group but the book I’ve been given to read and edit keeps getting more and more racist. Guys, I think my writing partner is a white supremacist??

Is the New Coast siding against unions now?

Israel announced anyone found protesting the Davis Cup will be subject to drone strikes.

It's a sign of the times I guess: a new client just told me they were referred to me by ChatGPT ...

I just signed up for alerts from the city. You might want to as well www.halifax.ca/safety-secur...

HALIFAX: if you live near Bayers Lake and/or Susies Lake area, pack a go bag NOW. If you have pets, this includes all of their medical records, food, medicines (if applicable), water, and bedding. You need your own medication, passports, important irreplaceable paperwork, clothes for at least 7 days

Going to open a literary-themed restaurant. Staples like Old Man and the Sea Bass, and All Quiet on the Western Omelette. Our signature dish will be Who’s Alfredo Virginia Woolf?

The role of a mayor is to ensure the vision of the Premier is realized without interference from elected representatives, public opinion, or data.

Ethnic cleansing.

Have you been to Atlantic News to grab this week's issue yet?

This guy is 100% planning on running for President in 2028.

Friends; my sister’s lease is not being renewed. We are looking for a 2 bedroom unit in Rockingham the budget is $1500.00 heat and hot water included. I know this isn’t a probable find but PLEASE if you know any place I’m begging you to let me know.

Let’s hear it for the little victories.

This show has been cancelled.

CANCELLED

Cops, I've been told, prevent crime. At around 7p, the RCMP got a report of a drunk driver in a civic. At around 11p, a driver and passenger and a few others are dead after a civic traveling the wrong way on the highway crashes.

The other NS venues booked for this group have already cancelled. #Halisky do your thing, make a call or send an email and let Oasis know this shit don’t fly in our province

The other venues in NS cancelled once they were made aware of the content/connections of this group. Do your thing, HaliSky.

Your move, Oasis

Fuck that group and that bar. I recommend writing the venue and telling them that hate has no place in Halifax.

feeling spicy this morning

A lot of comedy clubs across Canada have canceled the shows once they realize the group is overtly racist and aligned with neo-nazis. We need to pressure the Oasis to do the same.

The Oasis in Halifax has booked a white nationalist comedy group for a show this month. Known for making antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Indigenous, and misogynistic jokes, the group has associations with Diagolon, and numerous white nationalist groups.

The 90s were a wild time. Radiohead named their first album after a line from the Jerky Boys.

We defeated the apprentice but

Halifax gets a new newspaper (with a print version too!) on Monday:

We like them apples just fine thank you.

Poilievre continues streak of achieving nothing #CanadaVotes #cdnpoli

Update: I did get into the closed alpha and this game is very much Not For Me.

You love to see it. And by “you” I mean me.

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

The election right now:

Happy Nor’Easter Sunday everybody!

Bezos wants to make people love billionaires again but the best he could think of was sending Katy Perry into orbit for 10 minutes.

Actually surprised Rebel has 5 journalists who understand French

Any Halifax cafés open this Friday?

The new #Marathon game looks *perfect* for me. Hoping to get into the closed alpha because I don't know how I'm going to wait until September.

CBC's Commotion is just Q for people who fuck

Because “de-extinction” sounds a lot less risible than “we custom designed a boutique predator based on Game of Thrones to attract investors.”

Gilmore became a target “not because of what she got wrong, but because of what she got right.” open.substack.com/pub/karynpug...

Nice bit of writing in today’s Examiber by @philmoscovitch.bsky.social that helped me to realize why I’ve always loved detective stories.

That new French Café Angelique on Quinpool is amazing. The food is incredible, service is great, and the owners both seem really nice. I’ve already been back 3 times.

Selling our floor tix for tonight’s Stars show. $50 (total for 2 tickets). HMU if interested.

The building on Quinpool that housed Naan ‘n Curry, Desire hair studio, and Omelette is completely gone.

There’s a Murderbot trailer up and it’s making me happy. youtu.be/vEioDeOiqEs?...
