This morning I saw a deer strolling down the sidewalk on my block as I was coming in from feeding my chickens in west end Halifax.

In honour of Neil Young's 80th birthday, I've started in on the 14-hour Archives Vol. III. Currently on track 10/222.

My favourite part of “In my Life” is the sound of the phrase “often stop ‘n think about them.” Always tickles my brain.

When his battalion was pinned down in the Battle of the Ancre Heights, James Richardson started playing his bagpipes and marching ahead as the Germans fired on him. His bravery inspired his fellow soldiers, who then led a successful attack. This is his badass story. 🧵 1/10

1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties. 🧵👇

"They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving." 🔥

This is the true grit, the fix your heart or die stuff that makes a real politician and civilian

Could it be that most people don’t actually like incompetent evil?

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

This has honest to Pete become one of the things I most look forward to at Halloween.

Good luck, Blue Jays fans. I enjoyed following the commentary here enough that I considered turning on the game to watch. But nah. Time for bed. I’ll check the score in the morning.

Kyle Connor penalty shot: three dekes most players would be proud of and a backhand finish into the top shelf. It's 4-0 #NHLJets.

Brad Lambert makes it 2-0 Winnipeg just 2:43 into today's game. Taps in a Parker Ford pass from the edge of the crease

It took 15 seconds. Gabriel Vilardi has opened the scoring for Winnipeg.

Antifa is short for "anti-fart" and anyone who opposes Antifa is the one who both smelt it and dealt it.

Happy baseball to those who celebrate!

WTF is going on tonight.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

This. I won’t watch a minute of baseball but I’ve always said I love the way people love baseball.

Exhibit 870,522: Why Canadians should avoid travelling to the United States for any reason.

What a great story. Here's to Stella's dad and also Evan and his coworkers.

Here's my basic question: Why aren't the Americans holding a No Kings rally every single weekend?

Jets up by two in the first. Two big assists from big Logan Stanley!! #gojetsgo

Big Jets’ win!

This explains the sudden cheering in the arena during the Jets game. #gojetsgo

Man, if the United States was a place I would travel to, I would go for this.

I was just trying to remember the name of a band I heard about recently. They Are Destroying a Lake? (Correct answer: They Are Gutting a Body of Water)

I upped my Halloween game.

There is power in disdain

I got mail today for the first time in a while. I guess the strike has rotated away from here for a bit. This was my mail.

I don’t actually give a flying fart about baseball but, supposing the Blue Jays win the World Series, what if we just keep that trophy here in Canada until they sort things out south of the border?

Alberta government to ban the number 58,008 in schools

I’ve never seen Jurassic Park film.

We are Still Here Blake Angeconeb ~ Anishinaabe 2021

The Scoop Kent Monkman ~ Cree 2018

this is fucking epic, and i do not use that word lightly. holy shit. @sadqueer4life.bsky.social

I hate everything by Elton John (save between 1983 and 1985) and Rocket Man is one of the ones I find especially aggravating but this oddball cover by Kate Bush is pretty good. Kinda reggae, kinda country, kinda Celtic open.spotify.com/track/2DYOj0...

Made my week.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

If you see this, post a concert picture you took #Music #MusicSky The Boss

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

It's cool that guys making tens of millions are like, "yeah one benefit of signing here is I don't have to give a small amount of money to fund public schools and disability services," and we treat this as shrewd navigating rather than an abomination.

Has anyone seen this on the shelves at Superstore in the last couple of months? I’m concerned they may have discontinued it. It is the only cereal my heart and my stomach desire. Name brand mini wheats pale in comparison.

America, online: www.todayintabs.com/p/groyper-wa...

Every parent in America must make sure their kids aren't being brain-poisoned online. What are they seeing in chats? Who are they talking to? What about their friends? What do those random nonsense things they're saying actually mean? This is our job now. Lives depend on it.

I don't know the first thing about boxing but I was once sent to interview Chuvalo. He was in a bathrobe in bed in a room at the Lord Nelson. It was odd.

LOUDER FOR THE TRUST & SAFETY TEAM IN THE BACK

@fatapollo.bsky.social almost right below your class action post on my TL. Get your bread money.

I’m so tired of Top 40 milk.
