A couple of years ago, Eminem and his producer Denaun Porter recreated an EPMD album cover, and it's kind of an amazing image of car bloat since the 80s. Admittedly Eminem's 5'8" and the EPMD guys are both >6', but somehow I don't think that is what makes the difference

The aesthetics of American fascism are so ass.

If that dude doesn't give his remarks to the press in front of the courthouse while casually eating a sandwich, what the actual fuck are we even doing here?

298 full-sized bars gone by 7:30. Now I ate 2, my Dad ate ten or more over the last couple days, and for the first hour parents in costume got bars too until we realized we were going to run out... So our neighbours count of 265 is probably definitive. Actually down a tiny bit from last year's 280.

Power is back on. "Just" 2.5 hours.

Cannot express enough appreciation for the teams *flying through a hurricane* while not being paid.

Heads up Nova Scotia: if you’re in the Waverly area, especially Waverly Rd, get inside and lock your doors.

Double the ad buy. Get that ad running everywhere, all the time. And, the Govt of Canada needs to go to US Court, because not even the conservative Supremes can say tariffing over a TV ad and hurt feelings is about national security. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

That ad REALLY hurt Trump's feelings. Carney needs to take the gloves back off. This is stupid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

U.S. President Donald Trump says Ontario's anti-tariff ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan is "fake." Here's what three experts had to say. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... #cdnpoli #politics

This ad hurt Trump's feelings.

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

Brunswick Street, downtown Halifax – the old painted bike lanes are gone, replaced with a wide, bidirectional protected bikeway that looks not far from completion. 🚲 #BikeHfx

What a great night at the official opening of Progress Place, the new downtown home of @prescottgroup! So proud of everyone who made this possible, but especially Alice Evans who is a tireless champion of this space and its members. AND THE TREATS!

Updating my LEGO White House

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Removing parking minimums leads to more housing construction, and a more affordable housing market.

I'm loving how much of my timeline rn is people simultaneously saying "okay I know we like to fuck around here but for real everybody just block the white house"

Naive me: "White House on bsky can't be that bad, I'm sure it will be fine" Facing reality me: Watches that stupid effing "greatest hits video" for 15 horrified seconds. Blocked.

There are so many people in roles labeled "leadership" but who don't do the work of leadership. It's important to name what the thing is & why when we see it, & to lift up again & again the folks who are truly leading at this time. And to keep calling out those who aren't rising to this moment.

Presidents have federalized a state's own Guard to use over its objection, most famously desegregation. And sometimes regular military has been used. But taking one state's soldiers and putting them in another state? This is a completely unprecedented breakdown of what the Union fundamentally is.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Peacemaker has gone from interesting and fun to must see TV the night it drops and a rewatch the next day. Outstanding work, amazing cast. I love these flawed and messy humans. Please do another season!

It really can not be emphasized enough that "exaggerating the danger of the left" is a key, central tactic of aspiring fascists. Look back at every country that slid into authoritarianism & you'll find a campaign like this preceding it. Every time. It's part of the script.

The climate predictions that were wrong were the ones by the contrarians/deniers during the post-1998 “hiatus”. They said temperatures would start to fall as part of a natural cycle.

Soemthing that is always notable to me about Americans is that they struggle to find the right language to discuss transit or cities at all. You often hear them say things like “build bus lines” or call things light rail when they definitely are not.

APTA today released its 2025 Public Transportation Vehicle Database, an annual report detailing the bus and rail fleet characteristics of U.S. and Canadian transit agencies, representing systems that carry 80 percent of U.S. transit ridership. www.apta.com/news-publica...

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

Good and about time.

One of the weird things that happens to politicians, especially on FB, is waves of weird sovereign man of the land types come out of the woodwork (the woodwork is mostly in rural Ontario + SK _ AB) about "things" & this just happened with my Disney+ post on FB. But since I am not a politician now...
