Flash Flood risk is increasing, threatening our safety and our property. We need to know where and when the risks are high, and what actions to take. NS has no Flash Flood Warnings, and now has not yet opted into Canada’s new 'Flood Risk Finder'. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/environment/...

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

Many thanks to @whitehouse.senate.gov for a comprehensive crib sheet!

Global aluminum price: $3,500/t U.S. price, with tariffs: $6,100/t Trump's dream of a purely domestic auto industry is total fantasy, but industry is enabling it because they think he'll find some scuzzy way to make them whole. Good luck with that.

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

The @eff.org comes down hard against gun control.

⚡️ Kyiv raises alarm over Russian ship docking in Israel with stolen Ukrainian grain. The Russian bulk carrier Abinsk reportedly docked in Haifa carrying nearly 44,000 tons of wheat that Ukrainian investigators say was taken from occupied territories.

I don't know who wrote this headline, but rest assured, @suzannerent.bsky.social's article is not as miserable and mean-spirited as it suggests.

Springer broke his big toe? What's next, a plague of locusts?

If @ericswalwell.bsky.social did half of what he's accused of, he's unfit for office. But granting anonymity to someone making devastating allegations is crummy journalistic practice.

Premier Houston seems to be spoiling for a fight with the province's Mi'kmaq reserves. I disagree with blocking highways, but it needn't have reached that point. The province could have started with negotiations, not criminal prosecution for a peaceful activity. www.facebook.com/share/1CnkGb...

Officials in authoritarian regimes signal their loyalty to the leader by making obviously false claims in public (per @mcopelov.bsky.social)

Fuck the Yankees

Holy New York.

Quote-post @aretsch.bsky.social & @huubeggen.bsky.social: see their 👇thread for images of remnants of Iceberg A23a in the south #AtlanticOcean. FYI: there is a pair of green-glow pins on bit.ly/ISS074 for their posts, located NW of the Falklands Islands/Islas Malvinas. More in alt-text

@brianrosenworcel.bsky.social @thegogglesdonowt.bsky.social I asked @roses-luggage12345.bsky.social to explain her assertion that the new IOC rules would ban 25% of all women athletes and... she blocked me. Our heresy is not just wrong but unspeakable. All discussion of it must be banned.

The goal of the war is to reopen the strait that closed because of the war. Do I have that right

Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.

Is it too late for a career change? I want to be a librarian at the dog stick library... 🐶📖

I would flunk these tests stone sober. I have a crappy vestibular system. I could probably do the heel-to-toe walk, but I can't stand on one leg for more than 2 seconds.

Cracking wise about Pearl Harbor while hosting the Japanese prime minister at the White House was not on my dance card. He continues to plumb new depths of depravity.

"According to Iranian state media, [the US] hit a girls’ school, killing at least 175 people, many of them children." According to Iranian state media? C'mon, @maxboot.bsky.social, do better. Or is this phoney caveat something Bezos's overseers insisted upon?

This is fascinating at so many levels:

Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Looking at the cars on offer in China is enough to make you downright angry. $35k will buy you a freaking high-tech EV chariot-bordering-on-supercar. And if you reflexively think, “must be junk,” you are trapped in a far-outdated impression of China.

Jay Silverheels was a gifted Canadian lacrosse player who turned to acting. While he gained fame as Tonto in The Lone Ranger, he disliked how the character was written. So, he chose to use his fame to help other Indigenous actors in Hollywood. This is his story. 🧵 1/12

Xi: Did you hear? Kim: No... Xi: The Americans are moving air defense systems out of South Korea! Kim: What? No way! Xi: Yes! Kim: Amazing. How'd you do that? Xi: I didn't do anything. They started a war with Iran, told themselves it'd be easy, and didn't do the math on interceptors. Kim: Ha!

Is sauce for the goose sauce for the gander? In Tim Houston's government, not so much.

Sounds like Councillor Sam Austin is trying to sidestep a staff recommendation requiring a developer to remove two storeys it built illegally. He got counsel to delay a vote, saying, “It’s a rather unique situation,” that needs more time for discussion with staff before council vote. #mealymouthed

A former Washington Post reporter now reports on ICE flights and their associated abuses, funding the work through donations. Seems like a worthy cause.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Once POTUS gets a taste for regime, change, the appetite for more becomes insatiable.

OMG! The Powerball WINNER!!! And she's not a Nigerian prince! Aptly named "Leach."
