Last Tuesday a car crash on Dunbrack St took out the traffic lights. On Thursday I emailed 311 photos of the debris that was still all over the road/sidewalk. This morning on his way to work during the freezing rain my spouse ran over a big sharp piece of metal at this exact spot and got a flat 🙃

Hey @jamesgunn.bsky.social any comment on this? cosmicbook.news/james-gunn-d... "Update #2: My insiders got back to me and suggest that Gunn is already done with DC and Mike De Luca is in charge."

me waking up to see that Bluesky suspended Patton Oswalt @patton.oswalt.bsky.social for saying that it’s evil to sexually assault children:

A little additional info from Councillor Morse:

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

CARS and far too many driving have "created worsening traffic issues for commuters in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) and beyond". Not population growth. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/province-hou...

"There are around 856 bus trips per weekday down Spring Garden Road" Plus pedestrians and cyclists who struggle with a road that continues to prioritize cars. We have to do better than pulling the plug on anything and everything that doesn't prioritise cars. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

As I was saying…

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims. Canadian media struggles with this too. Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host. It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Today only all donations are matched so you can double your impact by donating. I just need $444 more to reach my fundraising goal. I’ll be riding 100km this year. fundraise.yourrideforcancer.ca/fundraisers/...

They are literally canceling culture

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

Canada’s Parliament just gave Charlie Kirk a standing ovation. You can oppose political violence without rewriting the legacy of a man who did a lot of harm to vulnerable and marginalized communities. But Canada’s politicians, some media and many employers don’t seem to entirely understand that:

JESUS: "Feed, clothe, and provide shelter to the homeless." CHRISTIANS: "Nah, let's just KILL them instead. Glory!"

This is classic CDN media misrepresentation. What went down at Christie Pits wasn't two sides of the same issue. This was a hate rally demanding mass deportations against people who live in Toronto. It was a fascist hate gathering. They were countered by people standing up for their neighbours.

We’ve been living through 72 nonstop hours of this exact tweet

After the Minnesota shooting Senior DOJ officials started weighing proposals to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms. After the Kirk shooting, I look forward to the DOJ's proposal to limit white men's ability to possess firearms. Wait, what do you mean that's not how it works???🤔

And they're trying to make a martyr out of this guy?! - [assist to the Guardian; link in comments]

Nova Scotia's municipal leaders are starting to speak more and more publicly about opposition to strong mayor powers! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Politicians claiming bike-lanes cause congestion ARE LYING TO YOU to gain your attention and distract you from other issues. Thx @brenttoderian.bsky.social! Well done 👏 www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Always happy for a chance to say: I read every real study on the impact of bike lanes on street-level retail. They never hurt. They often help. Sometimes they help a lot: www.businessinsider.com/bike-lanes-g...

Fillmore said he wanted to talk about development, traffic, and "issues that they are facing at home.” He said he would “follow the room” when deciding what would be discussed, including international affairs. But that didn’t happen." By @suzannerent.bsky.social, the only reporter at the meeting

If someone claims to be scared of the subway but isn’t scared of being in a car on the highway—which is exponentially more dangerous + deadly—they are not a serious person

I do not understand the purpose of a #bear hunt but I really despise people who pose in photos with the animals they killed. Also, holy double standards on the woods ban. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/environment/...

All production for #ModernaSpikevax now in Canada All Spikevax pre-filled syringe (PFS) doses for the Canadian market will now be manufactured domestically, marking the first time Canada's entire PFS format is produced at home. The drug substance will be produced at Moderna's new /1 thread

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

Nova Scotia Power doesn’t want the public to know the details about the theft of personal data of hundreds of thousands of its customers Morning File by me

"thousands of units" impacted and stalled by Province's rejection of the Regional Plan - HRM's Director of Planning. Ultimately we are not going to get where we need to go by the Province playing its trump card last minute www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

$70 million. But still no funding for Halifax's BRTs despite much higher impact on relieving traffic jam.

This province is so unserious. Everyone crying about bike lanes meanwhile we spend HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS on highways to nowhere. Why should everyone pay the cost for your choice to live in the middle of nowhere? Oooh what’s that, that isn’t fair? We should all share the cost? Sound familiar?

There it is: 9:30 a.m. August 20: Dal president Kim Brooks and her board just entered history as the first “leaders” of a U15 in Canada to lockout its faculty. They have no plan, no mandate, and not one clue. @dalfaculty.bsky.social does have a plan for them: get back to the table #KeepDalStrong

i was riding my bike and my bf was driving his car and he saw me and waved so i slashed his tires. the war on cars has no exceptions

So stupid. NS has done the same. Nothing but help for the big business developer buddies.

Can we just start labeling Ford as pro-congestion now. He’s always been, from highway expansions, bike lane removals, transit project delays, and now fording hundreds of thousands of people back on the roads. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...

"The municipality is seeking your input on: bus routes that need more frequent service; new and modified routes designed to support our growing municipality; your travel habits and the routes you take"

People smugly saying "Why did you take the flight attendant job if you didn't like its terms?" reeks of "Kids these days just don't want to work anymore - in MY day we worked terrible jobs and didn't complain." So we're just...never supposed to fight for better? Is that it? Cool, thanks! 👍🏻

Cops are making 100k plus and saying its not enough. Ff are volunteering Cops are begging for tanks and toys FF are begging for fire suits and masks that pass a basic safety inspection. Cops claim its dangerous and physical. FF are actually getting injured daily

the biggest force for rural resentment of cities in the last three decades is that cities got way better and the countryside got way worse.
