the NIMBY credo "all change is bad" is internally consistent when expressed as wanting to block both bus lanes and dense housing, but utterly irreconcilable and patently insane if you stop and think about it for like, two seconds

Car culture helped bring about Nova Scotia's projected $1.4-billion deficit and congestion crisis. The province's response is to dump more money into highway widening while transit stares down service cuts (despite high ridership) and the loss of bus lanes (to car congestion).

If conservatives are upset with coverage, one must re-configure the paper so they never for a second feel like they are condescended to. If libs are upset with coverage, they’re stupid and can’t read.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try.

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Elites think they’re immune to bad information environments and that makes them even more susceptible, it’s the Bill Ackman problem. I also suspect that it’s the reason you see elites capitulating to Trump while opinion shifts rapidly.

If you care at all about the future of Halifax, about transit or about equity, please read this!!

I hate every voter

Also just darkly funny that Meta thought people would be less concerned about secret surveillance glasses during a time of political unrest. How's that been working out

Once you start thinking about urban geometry, you can never stop seeing local government as being decades upon decades of this.

This is a 100% elite manufactured craze.

I feel like every two years we act surprised that young, fit people living communally while high on endorphins want to have lots of sex. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Meta should be destroyed and the earth should be salted where it once grew.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

A very nasty bit of slight-of-hand is that they now completely ignore the actual question of "security" or "enforcement" and have adopted fully the Trump/Vance grievances about TPS and asylum. The narrative isn't about the border anymore or "legality", it's about undesirable racial populations.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them! The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

IOC is such a corrupt organization of scumbaggery

Raise your hand if youve been using ffmpeg since college and had no idea that it stood for fast forward moving picture expert group [the file format standardized by the group, not the group itself]

The fate of the Republic hinges on what ffmpeg preset this dumbass who was converting the screen recording was using bsky.app/profile/adje...

we're not doing the stuff in the image anymore, we're leaving "actually anti-social behavior is fine" in the dustbin of woke 1

just think: if more people understood the economics of supply and demand, we could charge appropriate parking rates on the peninsula *and* increase support for building more housing!

Just a note on the lede of this story. Gabrielle can't find parking because it's priced too low, so people are incentivized to use it, which means they are, which means no spot for Gabby.

“There’s limited street parking, and the [waterfront area] development was permitted by the city to not provide enough parking for the number of restaurants” It’s really too bad that street parking is the only option in downtown Halifax and not a single parkade or lot exists - oh wait!

Love to see guys like Lutnick who never stop name-dropping (or shut up in general) emerge after days of seclusion to be like “Forgive me but I’m struggling to recall how many times I was in the company of this man… Empstein, I think you said his name was?”

holy crap Hendsbee (!!) from the top rope

After "this out of touch liberal multiculturalism will fail" didn't pan out - BB's show set ratings records and is the most talked-about part of the super bowl - they are desperately pivoting to a blatant lie that "it was successful because it wasn't political"

Every business right now thinks its such an essential part of your life that you'd give them anything to keep using it and brother I am here to tell you I don't need a chat app that bad

Once again: Keir Starmer has ruined something not just for Britain, but for the entire world.

Mike Vrabel evidently taking post-game questions from inside the Gatorade Bunker

It’s so funny that they have to say “suspected” because they couldn’t find someone who speaks Spanish, vexillology, or grids to explain to them what was going on.

"oops I spent 75 years athwart history yelling 'STOP' & now my country has left me behind"

It's dope that it's an annual tradition now that the super bowl halftime show makes republicans extremely angry. We should just keep doing this

"MrBeast.Salesforce.com" is the URL version of the Mark of the Beast

very nice imo of Drake Maye to undo the Patriots' penalty-assisted progress on this drive by turning over the football

Ocasio gang rise up 🙌🏽🇵🇷

boomer gif use is coded as "smiley face with arms reaches out in a hugging embrace while the sky sparkles in the background" gen x gif use is coded as "scene from popular tv show everybody implicitly understands but for some reason there's a caption on it that misunderstands what it's explaining"

Um... excuse me? I'm. In. The. Bath.

Please stop liking and reposting that Scott Horton guy, he’s plagiarizing other people’s posts and has been a menace on here for a while. Doesn’t respond to people either, just blocks critics.

Social media addiction doesn't affect everyone the same, but for sure it has cooked some people's judgement to the point you should question their ability to manage any position of responsibility.

he has so much more juice than newsom and shapiro it's wild

for all Josh Shapiro's evident pride in his ability to do an Obama impression, if we're making that comparison this one is much truer to the original

A man talking like he expects to be president.

It’s going to be interesting to see politicians figure out that the main alignment of the Democratic party is no longer how far left one is, but how angry one is
