If it’s a day that ends in ‘y’, Robert F Kennedy Jr. must be telling a lie in the hopes of killing someone. That’s an evil, evil man.

oh, fun, this one escaped containment and made it into the pro-Israel German parts of Blue Sky. Getting my 'added to an anti-semite blocklist because I think a campaign of starvation, terror, and ethnic cleansing is bad, actually' badge from some who identifies as both Antifa and pro-Israel. huh.

Genocide bad, human decency good. This is not a crossing of the finish line, but it is a step in the right direction. The job isn’t done while Israel is still shooting and starving civilians, and while they’re destroying every bit of history and infrastructure they can. Free Palestine.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

this exists it is called thinking

Okay, y'all - good news and less good news - there's actually a screening of @izball.bsky.social 's film D(e)AD in Halifax! The wrinkle: it's on Hallowe'en and even if I'm in town for it then have to choose between the movie I kickstarted and giving candy to my neighbours' kids. But you should go!

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... - good on Haley Ryan for calling Lohr on his bullshit! The only reason the province needed to override HRM here is that Lohr won’t let HRM change the rules he keeps overriding. 🙄

With every fibre of my being, I urge you to go fuck yourself, Hoekstra. “You’re getting the least worst deal, get back on your knees and watch your goddam mouth” is no olive branch - that’s pure thug behaviour. That’s how a gangster talks when they’re extorting you.

Nothing to add.

"Your mother and I are getting you your own car for graduation!" "Honey, we've talked about that, but we haven't agreed on anything. A lot would have to happen." Doesn't matter, I got to be the 'cool' dad, I said it, I get credit for it, and now if it doesn't happen, it's someone else's fault.

Flashback

Per District 14 councillor John Young’s Facebook page, Costco Middle Sackville is NOT confirmed, goodness me, I don’t know where you all got that wild idea. …I’m guessing Fillmore got an angry call from corporate this morning. Man just keeps stepping in it. cc: @halifaxretales.bsky.social

The can, we have kicked it. …this absolutely would have gone through if he had not spent the last couple of months carefully laying down rakes and stepping on them, mind. We only avoided this because he misplayed his hand.

Political violence is an existential threat to anyone who holds power. Political violence is always a bad thing. The only way to deal w political violence is by carefully addressing the underlying causes. Protecting the ability for elites to say and encourage hateful rhetoric makes violence worse.

Our strong mayor, heavily implying the pro-Palestinian movement are responsible for the absolutely despicable and antisemitic vandalism over the weekend. Couldn’t possibly be the violent anti-immigration white supremacists, better not outwardly condemn that hateful bullshit.

if you've spent any time with the anti-genocide protesters, you know they're multi-generational, multi-faith, and multi-ethnic, with an excellent understanding of colonialism, racism, and the damage hate brings. It's highly unlikely anyone from that group would replicate nazi imagery & rhetoric.

I'm trying to be a good person about all of this, but remember - for all the huffing and puffing about how cruel we're all being in refusing to forget the evil the man did in life - this is how much space he now occupies in the heart and mind of the dear leader. Compassion is not a core competency.

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

How about that.

Can someone ask Rubio why the US needs to "respond" to this thing that appears to be a wholly domestic judicial issue in Brazil?

This explains it better than I can

From Halifax Reddit this morning. This is how you get a child killed.

Louder for the people who miss this FILLMORE RECEIVED DONATIONS FROM THE PEOPLE WANTING TO INFILL DARTMOUTH COVE

‘risk of significant disruption’ = humans with hearts and souls saying “don’t do a fucking genocide, asshats”. There’s no threat to anyone’s safety, you just don’t want deliberate starvation, bombings, and shooting civilians for sport to overshadow the precious little green ball and the grunting.

"May god curse anyone who was able to help and didn't." - the mother of a 17-year old boy who died of starvation.

I admit, I have been intimidated by many of the 4-5 ingredient classic Italian pastas because it’s so simple it kinda feels like a trap, you know? Dear reader - I did not fuck up on this day. Pulled off a very tasty pasta al limone. Follow your dreams, especially if they involve citrus.

they've created this entire delusional bubble cult and they have no choice but to keep setting cash on fire until it all collapses in a glorious fireball these are men without ideas building a simulacrum of innovation, all propped up by grifters cashing in on the front end of the hype cycle

This is a stupid move by greedy, stupid people that will harm young people for years to come. We have mountains of evidence that these tools, at best, are error-prone, at worst - actively encourage harm, and research that shows that using them makes people stupider.

Ottawa's convoy resistance darling that so many of us warned people was actually a scumbag. I've long maintained that professions like doctors, lawyers, cops, etc. should be given stricter sentences because their violations of trust run deeper. Four years for these crimes is far too little time.

TOSS IT ON THE FUCKING PILE. I'm pretty sure we've filled in the punch card, and the next acknowledgement that Israel is committing genocide is free. What is our government going to DO about it!?

My word, he’s not but floof. She doesn’t know what to think. #catsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky

he's taking the piss at this point. busses and bikes cause congestion, he'll tell ya - 'international affairs is not part of the criteria' so let's sportswash genocide, shut down town halls (feel free to send him an email to ignore, he's "easy to reach"). banner week for strong mayor trollmore!

"Ack-tually, TECHnically, tennis isn't genocide, so this is all by the book. End of story. I'm right, you're wrong - so wrong that I'm not even going to pretend to try and understand what you're worked up about. My inbox has tonnes of room for emails I won't read, PEACE OUT!" ...our strong mayor.

When one is handed an incredibly easy opportunity to show some humanity, self-reflection, a chance to show concerned parties they have been heard, with even a performative action - and one chooses instead to dig in their heels, then shut down the meeting and fuck off - oof, dude. Not inspiring.

Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.

Snake oil, gang. The fact that the hucksters are trying to strap this shit on to EVERYTHING is making them look stupid, on top of making those among us with critical thinking skills highly skeptical of even potentially legitimate and appropriate use cases.

THIS IS THE POINT! Council did not have the authority to cancel the entire event, but voting against throwing money at it would have been a symbolic gesture in support of Palestine. Council failed a very easy moral test and kicked the can by begging someone else to be principled, first.

It’s Friday. Look at this idiot. There was a catnip toy the dog tore open (while other story) on this counter not long ago, and he waaaaaaaaaants it, precious.

Goodness me, we must protect the billionaire TERF who actively encourages vigilante violence towards trans people from those who ‘wish her ill’. I’d say that I hope she has the day that she deserves, but they might suspend me, too, for such violent words.

Send help, the little hats are multiplying. Also, having to worry about stripes and multiple colours and tension and jogs is new and vexing, y’all. ..but they’re so wee. 🧶

“In recent years, Tufts said, more airline passengers have opted for carry-on bags as opposed to checked baggage, which increases boarding time. As a result, delays are more common, leading to more hours going unpaid.” What drove this change in behaviour? An additional revenue stream, perhaps? 🤔

The argument against simply not putting $50K in city funds - funds that are too precious to be used to prevent Haligonians from being killed by cars - into an event that legitimizes an apartheid state actively erasing Palestine - is essentially "somebody else should be the one to denounce genocide"
