You can only talk like this if you take the time to learn things, from diverse sources, and then spend some time in contemplation, drawing inferences and parallels. Thinking is an art.

No. Do NOT be like him. Kent is a far-right white supremist fleeing a sinking ship they were never qualified to captain. In no world is this guy a hero to be emulated. No world at all.

Winds are roaring and power flickering in North End #Halifax! Wow. Everything we have that's chargeable is connected to a charger!

Pretty sure this guy is an energy vampire like Colin Robinson. I keep waiting for his eyes to glow.

"They are totally real... just you don't know this president. They go to school in Canada."

My fellow Canucks - please fill out this survey! I think we're all aware of the problems with some of the million watt "aimed straight at your retinas" headlights we see out there. I find them absolutely blinding.

Haligonians are clutching their guts and heads after this weekend's Sucker Punch.

Mercedes is fastest. Mercedes engines are running highest compression of any on the grid and will have to abide by a new and strict interpretation of the compression rule after June 1. Why are none of the commentary teams talking about this advantage? #formula1 #F1 #ChineseGP

Joe Rogan could be misled by a conspiracy theory written on a napkin he found blowing down the sidewalk. Close your eyes and imagine this. You know it's true.

The degree to which this help Russia rebuild it's coffers and fund its invasion of Ukraine cannot be over stated. This is a dream come true for Russia. Upheaval in the West will strain allies & relationships. US is burning through armaments. The US Pres is the most pro-Russian in modern history.

As I munch on an assortment of fruit and veg consisting entirely of **South American** products (because it's winter in Canada) I remain content with (and proud of) my spending $0 on American products of any kind. Don't want them. Don't need them. BTW the green grapes from Peru are awesome.

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends. It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

There are no studies that show arts funding is wasteful, that arts funding creates negative economic outcomes, or that arts funding creates harm to people, communities, or societies. None. Not one. Cutting arts funding is purely ideological.

This is abhorrent. I just wrote to Minister of National Defense David McGuinty, cc'd to @mark-carney.bsky.social, and my MP Shannon Miedema, asking for immediate action. These CAF members do not deserve the honour of wearing that uniform. I am disgusted.

The #FIA could have given us V12s on sustainable fuels that roared, lightning quick, around a track. Instead we’ve got slow cars with superclipping on the fast straights. #F1 fans are in for a dismal year. If I want to watch harvesting I’ll drive out to a farm and watch a tractor. #Formula1

If Donald Trump was a publicly recognized employee of the Kremlin taking orders directly from Putin, tell me one thing he’d do differently from what he has done.

If you, like me, share profound concern for the nearly unfettered use of AI in our society, take some time to watch/listen to the 2025 Hinton Lectures. Owain Evans takes great care to explain complex risks and issues with this technology. Many thanks for #CBC #IDEAS show for introducing me to these

Everything that is going on now is reminding me of growing up in the 1970s. And that entailed nuclear bomb drills, and pretending that hiding under a desk and facing away from the window would somehow save us.

My household maintains its strict ban on these and all similar devices. Really hope this developer or someone else makes an iOS port for this app soon. techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/n...

Never in my life have I possessed even 5% of this level of athleticism.

Slava Ukraini! Oi u luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasia, Chohos nasha slavna Ukraina zazhurylasia. A my tuiu chervonu kalynu pidiimemo, A my nashu slavnu Ukrainu, hei-hei, rozveselymo! A my tuiu chervonu kalynu pidiimemo, A my nashu slavnu Ukrainu, hei-hei, rozveselymo!

The Brandenburg Gate today 💙💛

Tonight’s state of the union.

Just listen... let this sink in. Today marks 4 years since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Also, I’d say Fuller Street is down to maybe 50% of its “summer width”. That’s mostly because of cars left on the roadway during snow clearing. What it means for me is I have to shovel almost 10’ of “driveway” that is actually road. If #HRM is so tight for cash, fine the living hell these drivers.

Whatever I paid for my big snow scoop today’s snow made it worth infinitely more. #HRM #Halifax

Here’s what I learned in today’s #BlueJays game. I NEED TO SEE Yesavage & Rogers pitch in the same game. Balls will be coming at batters from way up high and from ankle height!

Apparently powerful, wealthy, connected people CAN be held accountable. Has anyone mentioned this to America?

Oh Pierre... is the tiger eating your face now?

When "neutral" athletes are part of a broadcast, #CBC should cut away to profiles of Ukrainian athletes for the duration. Please and thank you. #Olympics

The US wants elections in #Ukraine not for democracy, but to install a compliant new leader who will bend the knee and surrender UA territory to Russia. The US is applying vast pressure on UA to hold elections under missile, drone & artillery attacks. How can UA fend of US & RU election inference?

It is a certainty that Eddie Carvery's camp and the coverage it generated taught me more about Africville that I ever learned in school. One man's dedication and perseverance shone a light on this shameful history, the consequences of which reverberate to this very day.

In 1971 Sesame Street invited Jesse Jackson to the show. This segment taught a generation of kids that we were all somebody, regardless of how we looked, where we came from, how we spoke, whether or not our families had money. In the 55 years since that message has been demolished by the right.

This is the best cover of Creep I’ve heard. Multiculturalism for the win! I hope a white nationalist catches fire every time someone listens.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Had to tell a friend that I won't read their (or anyone's) blog because it's on substack and substack has a widely known Nazi problem. How is this not a bigger issue? It's been a problem for years now. The degree to which money talks these days is revolting.

All humans, all of our children, and their children, and beyond, are affected by this despicable move. www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

👇🏻 THIS is critically important to understand 👇🏻. The VAST majority of mass shooters are CIS WHITE MEN. Trans folk are statistically underrepresented as mass shooters. The people you should be worried about are the people who look like me.

Unfettered social media allowed vile men to find vile audiences and monetize those audiences into careers and worldwide profiles. A few decades ago these people also existed; they were angry drunks on barstools, raging to the other drunks, & widely ignored by the rest of society.

2 days later & I keep thinking about this. I travelled with my kids. I never assured anyone that I still had them with me when I left. The only reason I can think of for saying this is he knew kids were trafficked for sex on that island, and wanted us to know he didn’t let that happen to *his* kids.

Well deserved!

This athlete has won gold for integrity. The IOC should explain why RU flags are allowed but this remembrance is banned.

We are hostile to anyone being less than supportive because we understand where this two step you're doing into transphobia leads. And that place you're softly stepping your way towards is full of the bodies of our dead friends, put there by folks just asking questions about our humanity.

Remembrance is NOT a violation.

Age verification? I'm pre-Sesame Street.

Full points. No notes. I approve of the inclusion of non-human athletes. Put this good boy/girl on the podium!

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych appeared for training on the Olympic track wearing his ‘helmet of memory,’ with photographs of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia’s war, despite a ban from the IOC. ❤️‍🩹

Brandi Carlile's accompaniment for "America the Beautiful" before the game last night was SistaStrings. The duo, Chauntee and Monique Ross, played another American anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing," on the Library's Stradivarius instruments in 2024. Here's a clip of that impromptu performance. ⬇️

Love this idea!

My updated semi-regular reminder. When you bring a "smart" or "AI" enabled anything into your home or onto your person, replace "smart" or "AI" with "surveillance". As in "Hey, look at my new surveillance watch." or "Hi Jean, we just got a suite of surveillance appliances installed in our kitchen."
