Scream ?? I want to print this screenshot out using my fabric paper so I can sew it to my jacket.

Ce matin je me réveille avec un évènement assez mystérieux dans mon calendrier que je me souviens pas avoir créé Ça fait donc 10 ans que je prépare cette blague, c'est beau 🥹

Fucked up and evil that you can luck out and watch a TV show so good that it's all you want to talk about but this sick cruel world forces you to have a job instead

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

I can't tell if we've been really spoiled for concerts these past few years or if I was just severely out of the loop pre-covid and missed out on whatever was happening. I'm going to at least 2 shows in the next 4 months.

NS Power should have a "only email me when my bill is not another fucking estimate" setting. If they can't tell me how much power I've used they don't get my money

Relevant again:

Fyi Halifax, someone forwarded me this post on the Nazi bar site to be on the lookout for weirdo loser fascists on Citadel Hill on Saturday. I've got a 1pm commitment already but if anyone is around, remember that playing Disney music loud enough to disrupt their talking works wonders on Content ID

sure, nova scotia power got hacked and the private information of its customers including SINs were stolen, and sure, they’ve been over billing us for the last few months, and yeah, we’re getting a rate increase soon, but at least we have no other option for electricity

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

Oh the lifting of the woods ban could not come at a better time. Was just thinking the upcoming back-to-school traffic would be enough to finally motivate me to bike all the way to work, but that kind of depended on trails being open for the first leg of it :P

Effective 4 p.m. today, Friday, Aug. 29, the province has lifted restrictions on access to woods within the Halifax region. The provincial burn ban remains in place for the entire province. More details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/re...

Not much has changed for the better since I wrote this article last year--you see a few more closed captions on CR dubs, but I strongly suspect they're made using AI given some common errors that are common with automated text to speech www.animefeminist.com/crunchyroll-...

Getting a notice from the landlord that my rent will increase is oddly relieving bc it means I can be pretty sure he'll give me another fixed term lease.

I'm sure this is unrelated to the fact that ever since I "upgraded" to windows 11 and its version of notepad at work, it now crashes every time I try to open really large text files (the exact same files it could previously handle without issues)

A reminder for anyone struggling with the air quality today that wearing an N95 will help. We had some at work so I'm wearing one today and it is helping.

I really hate the term "sideloading". I preferred the original term, which was "installing software on a computer that you own"

A car going the wrong way on a clearly marked road... We need to get rid of these damn bike lanes (not pictured)

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

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Hurricane Erin is not expected to bring much rain, but dangerous surf and rip currents are expected along the coast today. People are advised to stay away from the shore as large waves will make conditions hazardous.

😞 emails #sticker #merch

Every time I go to respond to someone on reddit (that clearly didn't even read my previous response and just wants to bitch) my phone should administer an electric shock

I had to update my internal CV at work today and I was specifically instructed to rewrite it with an AI tool 🫩 I didn't do that bc like, what are they gonna do? Accuse me of not following instructions bc the output isn't generically awful enough?

Statement begins 👁️ #jonathansims #themagnusarchives #jonsims #TMA

Not surprised they're considering getting rid of route 93 (it's largely redundant and it's always nearly empty when I take it) but a possible Bayers Lake - Bedford West route sounds exciting.

was invited to make a piece for an Emmy's FYC pop-up event for Andor ❤️‍🔥

It’s basically a massive source of unpaid child labor. youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?...

My apartment smells like a distant campfire rn but it's still 32 degrees in here 🥲 there will be no window closing tonight I'm afraid

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

Nature Nova Scotia’s posts from today:

It's funny seeing people online argue that a Bedford-Halifax ferry won't be worth it for the amount of use it will get bc 1) they clearly have never been on a packed bus on the Bedford Hwy going into the city 2) I already take less efficient routes just to take the existing ferry. Don't test me

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

I'm glad my job replaced the HR portal with an AI chatbot. I asked about the status of my promotion and it gave me instructions on how to self-declare my LGBT identity in my profile.

i’ve been watching old lou reed interviews and i’m obsessed with this 50 year old interview and his response to being asked if he identifies as a transvestite or homosexual

Also I get that I'm a nervous nelly but it's still wild that the city bike map lists Glendale Ave/Duke St as a recommended main road route, right?

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

I will of course respect any restrictions for the sake of fire safety but the Bedford-Sackville connector greenway trail is basically the only safe way to leave Sackville and cross the 102 on foot/by bike so. Not ideal, innit

Hey I'm in this! The article is more optimistic about my bike commuter status than I deserve, though. Still working up the confidence to tackle the unprotected parts of my work route on my new bike. I stand by my comment that I wish the city made the decision to switch to a bike easier for all.

IMO, this is the best of all the amazing covers on the Songs From The Gang album. Seeing it performed live felt like a real privilege.
