I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually

In our latest winter road safety video, Sgt. Brian Palmeter from the HRP Traffic Unit explains why roads aren’t instantly safe the moment a plow goes by. Crews do their part, but conditions can still be slick. Give yourself extra time, slow down and stay winter-ready: halifax.ca/winter-road-safety

Woodside Ferry service is running on a 30 min schedule until further notice, due to maintenance. Ferries will depart Woodside at xx:07 & xx:37. Ferries will depart Halifax at xx:22 & xx:52. Alderney Ferry service is not impacted at this time. Shuttles will be provided.

Never felt so put off helping someone in need and watching their socials fill with constant trauma dumping their problems, as if no one was helping them at that time. In other news, water is wet, and the algorithm has trained us to dwell in dark spaces despite what help others give eachother.

REMINDER: On Tuesday, Dec. 9, we will be holding a Budget Committee meeting. The agenda is now available and public participation is welcome. To speak in-person or via Zoom, pre-register with the Clerk's Office by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8. Agenda: buff.ly/fcP4kRs

1. Cars are the biggest source of climate pollution in the country. 2. Transportation is the biggest household expense after rent/mortgage. 2. State and local gov't could cut these numbers by about 25% in five years without any federal policy. Somebody solve this for me, what should we do? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

#SaveSpeech if you're Canadian, you may have heard about a handful of bills that have free speech and anti-surveillance orgs worried, so ive made a cheat sheet of info about what makes each one worrying! We need to block these bills! please contact your reps! oncanadaproject.ca/findyourrep

Shout out to Crash Course for doing Indigenous history with some incredible free episodes already (starring Lily Gladstone no less!) youtu.be/Dj8EjBQJD84?...

This. But also, remember that passion alone doesn't pay the bills. Most indies underprice their games, are ignored by algorithms, undersold, some even unfairly blocked from selling... So check that your money actually moves in the direction you want people surviving and making things.

OK, who narced?

Pixel art based on the movie theater, the Theatre Normandie that used to exist back home in the 70s. Only recently found out this place had existed since it had been shut down before I was born. Re-posted since the version I first put up had horrible compression #pixelart

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

@jemsmith.bsky.social and I made a 2D physics-based game in 4 days with sounds and music by Jaybooty Sutherland! This is Fallbearers. Here's a little clip of the other jammers playtesting it: #gamedev #gamejam #indiegames

Been drawing a bunch, just been very busy and did not have the urge to post. Here's some drawings I've done in the last few weeks.

PCs run a loyalty game. You either bend a knee to fanaticism or you yourself become the hunted.

This is how we brought a West African griot to life in Blender. Modeling. Rigging. Animation. This is Roukia. Follow her story on Kickstarter: bit.ly/croc-dance-ks #crocodiledance #b3d #blender3D #characterrigging #animation

The Doctor is right and correct

Block accounts that use AI. Don't even give them a reason, let alone the reaction. If a business or advertiser is using AI to promote attention, even if you you agree with the message, block them.

Really digging into this series about Tate and the manosphere, and the hilarity that patriarchal men have come to the conclusion that gender is something we identify as (Ie it's cultural, but the individual is the authority on themselves) so they can sell pick-up artist courses cannot be understated

Anyway time to post this again. AI is a tool of fascism.

WHOLSOME FRIDAY VIDEO THREAD GO GRAB A TISSUE, YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.

Every single housing develoment plan: find cheap and isolated area and slap multi-unit houses on it with zero public/commecial/social/ space included. Everyone after the devoplment: Y is traffic so much worse?! It feels like this province only take advice from suburban hellholes.

Sam Austin's 'can we maybe look at what it would take to make our priority an actual priority in our budget' motion passes. Green = Save lives Red = Save money

Racist neoliberals trying to be diet conservatives need to be put in the dustbin of history. They pave the road for fascism.

#NovaScotia #HoustonMustGo - 💯 agree along with #DougFord in #Ontario & #DanilleSmith in #Alberta to name a few

This video is delightful (very Every Frame a Portrait energy), and I like the way that it breaks down *why* things feel weaker today, using cognitive psychology, rather than pointing to digital vs practical effects and similar.

AOC: Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans —

This report is damning. Canada must adopt @jennykwan.bsky.social’s arms embargo bill immediately. Anything less is complicity in a human rights catastrophe that will haunt Canada for generations to come. armsembargonow.ca/nomoreloopho...
