What you're seeing happening in HRM is the literal front line of class warfare. Filmore knows that he has the support of the money and political networks that he runs with, so he knows to just hold the line and he'll get his way. There is no argument to make, you have to politically isolate him.

Stress break - cats with jobs 😹🐾

John Schneider called reliever Tyler Rogers a “manager’s dream” again today: “I was joking with him after he came out, ‘probably 75 more of those this year,’ and he said no. Probably more.” #BlueJays

Keys with a 2 run HR. Big and strong!

Buchenwald was quietly built up a hill from Weimar, in Germany. It still sits, quietly, overlooking local farmland. The Americans dragged Weimar's citizens through it after they captured the city. Weimar's citizens feigned ignorance. But they _knew_. apnews.com/article/immi...

Just a reminder that the Blue Jays are posting on Bluesky. #bluejays #baseball

Baseball is back. Spring training isn’t real but it’s close enough until opening day. (Or the WBC.) It isn’t seats in section 103 in TD ballpark but we did not renew our spring season tickets after the 2024 election so no chance of an all-expenses trip to some random detention center either.

Game One 😌☀️ #SpringTraining

All the kids are there. Colleen Jones always talked about how much perspective she got, win or lose, when she walked off the ice and hugged her sons. I love that these Canadian women get this moment with their families.

I can answer this for Hendsbee. None money. You save approximately zero dollars. You are shaving around 10% of the hours (20% for the central library, much less for others) off ~6% of the city’s FTEs (337/4999.9) for under 1% savings on opex.

The sun rises on our 50th Season ☀️ #SpringTraining

And by taxing broadly and progressively. There isn’t some pocket of super wealthy who can pay for everything we need and the rest of us just kick back. The more you have the more you pay, but everyone chips in.

An interesting take on the new defense strategy and it fails to address - which is both real and has existed for decades

If you're thinking of travelling to the US to attend #FIFAWorldCup games, think again. Wondering why ICE is converting all those warehouses into detention camps? Well, she was a White, middle class Brit in her 60's with a visa, so what are the odds that Brown & Black soccer fans will be kidnapped?

The one really great thing about AI slop is that it makes the utter nonsense underpinning nostalgic "heritage" discourse, visible & risible.

My mother was a nine year old refugee when she came to this country. She and her sister spoke no English. There were no ESL classes then. But good teachers in the small town of Barrhead where they lived taught them, and taught them well. They all became voracious readers with beautiful diction.

Shout it from the rooftops, Sam.

"Heck what HRM is planning to spend on bike lanes this coming year is less than the Mayor’s total office budget and just look at how much attention that has had!"

Handsome and Manly 😹

really looking forward to throwing this back at Andy any time we talk about the cost of bike lanes

Stress break - Catses 😹😹

They grow up so fast! 💙⚾️

It’s a counterproductive tool in the context of HRM budget as it stands. Most of our spending is already on “core services”; the other stuff just isn’t that much money, and delivers returns. It’s possible to wind up with extras eating the budget but that’s not where we are.

While discussions are still ongoing, talks are getting more serious for Blue Jays, Max Scherzer 3x Cy Young winner was a big part of Jays' clubhouse culture during 2025 World Series run www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Joanne Macrae, Austerity Andy’s Chief of Staff, and Dale Palmeter, the senior consultant for Crestview Strategy, the firm Kevin Russell said he hired to design the Stop the Rate Hike campaign, were the CoS & Principle Secretary respectively in Iain Rankin’s office when he was Premier.

He wants a 7% cut in payroll and a 13% increase in his office budget.

‘Cowardly cutting off an important arm’ of government: Retired DNR manager on elimination of wildlife division "My prediction: In the days and weeks ahead, Premier Tim Houston may very well soon learn just how massive “special interest” groups are in Nova Scotia."

This is WILD. Further pitting the general public against the municipality, perpetuating the myth of 'wasteful' government, nakedly chasing votes with harmful bullshit. Nothing helps in an affordability crisis like reduced wages, because municipal staff aren't themselves taxpaying citizens of HRM!

John Schneider on Spring Training games beginning tomorrow: “Golden Grapefruit. We’ve got to defend it.” #BlueJays

Got to love that the mayor of Halifax is using a poll from an attack ad paid by landlords to inform him on what to cut, on a social media site that bans canadians from accessing and sharing news and no longer does fact checking, and the ad allows anyone to sign up lol

Councillor Morse: "This particular motion is the worst motion I have ever seen – in terms of the repercussions for our staff and the fact that it is so thoughtless, so reckless, so disrespectful [...] and basically lazy."

I am currently doing research on occupational health and safety in the 1970s and 1980s, and I ran across this cartoon pertaining to office automation. Struck me as very 2026!
