“Not the Bluenoser Way” Actually, people in Nova Scotia rioting and attempting to take control kinda is. There’s even a day about it. Dedicated to it, even.

"That's not the Bluenoser way" could honestly be the rallying cry against most anything the Premier of Nova Scotia is doing these days.

The "Bluenoser way" scolding rings so hollow when it's coming from a Premier who is continuously valuing greed over bettering the lives of Nova Scotians. Please look inward, Tim.

BREAKING: More than 100 protesters showed up outside Acadia University in Wolfville Wednesday for what started as a peaceful rally during Premier Tim Houston's state of the province address inside, but ended with chaos and damage to a vehicle in which the premier was a passenger. more...

Nova Scotia is so lucky to have the Examiner. Most cities 5X Halifax pop’n don’t have anything remotely approaching the analytical and investigative firepower of this newsroom. So grateful for this kind of work ⬇️ look what Tim squeezed from the NS govt here. They don’t have a choice but to answer.

My aunt Beverly is going through a very difficult time. She's one of the sweetest, kindest people I know, and she could use some help if you can share or spare anything. www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

It’s so frustrating to see every creative industry in shambles right now because it’s not for lack of shows, movies, games, books, comics, etc making money. People are hungry for human made art! The greed of others is killing our creative careers.

relevant to an email i just got

🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: openmedia.org/StopC22-bsky #BillC22

Very funny from /r/balatro

Mandatory age verification and the banning modern public towns squares for young people is, and forever will be, governmental and societal abdication of responsibility so that those in charge don't actually have to dare hold big tech accountable for the very real public harm they can foster.

This is what you'd need to make the social media ban work, and if you think it sounds terrible, it is.

Fascism's a fever you break with shit like what happened in New York last night. Create more excuses to feel things like that together.

“none of you understand subtlety so this is who we’re putting in charge of the global economy and the United States, you absolute dipshits, please correct course”

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

Here's the actual whole poem: shawnsmucker.substack.com/p/please-use...

Please Use AI

When the city does construction work that affects the sales of local businesses this drastically, there should be some form of compensation the affected businesses can apply for. Even if it was just a flat amount, it’s better than nothing. #Halifax #HaliSky #NovaScotia

Happy eighth day of Pride Month to Sammy Scroller, the problematic non-binary nuisance of Cineplex

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

hearing that Canada might do the whole ID for social media thing has got me regressing to my childhood thoughts of "what if me and my friends just got some walkie talkies"

YESSS!!! The trailer is SO good!!!! I can't wait for this game aaaaaa

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

And in a lot of cases the flags seem to be applied for no reason anyone can fathom. Which in a lot of cases, is effectively banning them from the timelines of everyone who doesn't how how to turn off the Wards Of Tedious Centrist Silence. Once again: Setting to 'warn' is enough to filter out smut.

To elaborate on WHY Bluesky's auto-moderation stuff is disastrous, it's at least partially done by AI, and it flags ENTIRE ACCOUNTS, rather than posts. Someone once posted a lingerie pic two years ago? Sexual! Vanished unless you un-do the spell. Someone was in a bad mood once? Rude flag engaged.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

all these features are going to suck shit

Canadians, one of the most important things you can do is send a letter to your MP about this. This would be the end of privacy for Canadians: dontsurveil.me/c22.html
