A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Sorry to anyone who thought Wokeness was annoying but as we now know it's the price we pay for a civilized society

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

Aggrieved, as ever, to be living in Andy Fillmore’s Halifax. Especially when Waye Mason’s Halifax was *right* *there*.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

This is outrageous. Nova Scotia, we need to do better. What’s the plan, Premier Houston?

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

NDP calls for ownership and regulatory review of Nova Scotia Power NDP Leader Claudia Chender says trust in the utility is low and bills continue to increase Emera should sell it back to the #NovaScotia govt www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Those of us struggling to pay bills hear Carney’s talk of “sacrifices” with fury. WHAT IS GALEN WESTON SACRIFICING? WHAT IS DAVID THOMSON SACRIFICING? WHAT IS EDWARD ROGERS SACRIFICING? WHAT IS CHIP WILSON SACRIFICING?

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

10,000 extra per day, flowing though the peninsula. This really was a boondoggle mistake.

"The fact that more folks are using the bridges now that they are “free” should not come as a surprise. In fact, it is consistent with research I conducted on exactly this topic, about what happens when tolls are implemented (and eliminated)"

"Haligonians are rightfully frustrated about traffic congestion. But the premier’s promise has pushed another 10,000 cars onto the roads, clogging up your commute. These 10,000 trips are trips that the drivers were previously not willing to pay a single dollar to make"

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day? Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Pro-genocide, anti-Irish nonsense from the Carney government. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Also, maybe regional council should have taken residents concerns more seriously before throwing $50,000 at this event, which will have negligible benefits for tourism, and helps sportswash a genocide.

Screaming into the void, but here goes: Growing inequality of wealth is destroying living standards and changing the job landscape for young people. Not immigrants, not temporary foreign workers.

Don’t let them get away with scapegoating newcomers

I think all companies should be worker-owned and run. The employees should vote every year or two for a new CEO, and candidates should include anyone who's worked at the company for at least three years. The CEO should be the person with a plan to keep the company profitable, ethical and humane.

Here's the story on what happened at the town hall in Cole Harbour last night when #Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore ended the meeting early and left out a side door. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/c...

It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people

🚨 Israel has just killed five more journalists in Gaza. 🚨 We call on Canada, a founding member of the Media Freedom Coalition, to fulfill its obligations under international law. The only way is a full two way arms embargo and sanctions against Israel now #cdnmedia #cdnpoli

The mayor of Halifax when faced with…..the people of Halifax:

Forever aggrieved to be living in Andy Fillmore’s Halifax.

Since the AI discourse is evergreen: You are losing far more than you gain with AI writing. You are losing your ability to create, to imagine. You are losing valuable skill experience that could improve your work down the line. You are losing community. You are losing marketing opportunities.

I'd rather have a water bomber than a police tank.

The concept of weekend hours for a public transportation service shows that it was designed by old white guys (who probably lived just outside the city). Halifax continues to fail its population 🤦‍♀️ End weekend and holiday hours @Halifax

the myth of "we can't afford to reduce crashes" We cannot afford not to.

Bike lanes are just an excuse. Our local democracy is under attack. With Fillmore's track record, he hasn't earned our trust to be given more power. Local Democracy works! Write the mayor, the premier, your councillor and MLA.

My PC MLA says that 70% of the emails the NSPC have received have been opposed to bike lanes (and that those emails are factoring hugely into their decisions). Please email the province!!

Powerful work assembling the facts and voices and making the case--that Trump indeed has a great deal to hide.

“I think it's always unfortunate when people spread misinformation, particularly someone who's supposed to be a trusted public figure. It confuses the public. And I think it drives polarization and really does a disservice to the governance of our city." - Councillor Patty Cuttell on the Mayor

Want to see Canada make real progress on TRC Calls to Action? Still waiting for Proportional Representation? Think we should have UBI instead of $150B extra for the military? Here's a great way to quietly make your voice heard! Takes 5 minutes, every question has a write-in option.

Trucks to and from the port do not use Morris Street.

Premier Tim Houston is a micromanager. That’s not leadership.

Where is the JRTA? Where is the funding for BRT? Why are government workers going into the office every day? Why do we have staffing issues for transit? Why are we spending 1B$ on highways? If Timmy cared about congestion, there are countless ways he could stay in his lane and make a difference

On the list of actions the provincial government could take to improve the lives of Nova Scotians, easing traffic in downtown Halifax is surely not even on the list. I wish Tim Houston would stop micromanaging what people in cars do, and start attending to the climate crisis, the housing crisis…

Continually aggrieved to have to live in Andy Fillmore’s Halifax, when Waye Mason’s Halifax was *right* *there*.

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

Absolutely vacuous mayor. Thank you to @suzannerent.bsky.social for her questions here. Halifax, can we not have this guy in charge for more than one term, please?

Aggrieved, as always, that I am forced to live in Andy Fillmore’s Halifax, when Waye Mason’s Halifax was *right* *there*.

Some of these councillors may vote against Fillmore’s motion because they are very pro-transit. Perhaps they’re wondering if the mayor will put a stop to transit projects next.

Take back public control of NS Power.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Tonight in downtown Dartmouth, me and my teeth at a screening of my film and panel discussion. Hope to see some friendly faces there!

I'm begging people to use their common sense and to check their knee jerk reactions to sexual assault cases. Mere days after it happened, he texted his friends to say he was glad he left the hotel room because they were hitting her so hard, it was hard to watch. Why would he have lied?
