This is a fun and really well-done triple mashup of Outkast’s B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad), Hitchcok’s The Birds, and Sesame Street. (via @unlikelywords.bsky.social) [youtube.com]

RIP Edwin, birther of Frenchy’s. It’s important that to know there are two (2) Frenchy’s. Edwin’s Frenchy’s is the rainbow font. Guys Frenchy’s is the red. Guy worked for Edwin and opened the first red font in Digby a year after Edwin did in Meteghan. Love, a former red font Frenchy’s employee.

Nothing inspires respect for the law like watching a police car throw on the lights for a few seconds so they can get away with running a light.

Funny that this has been underreported given all the people in politics and the media who claim that they really care about female athletes.

This use of "feasible" by traffic engineers drives me insane. Renovating your kitchen for $1k is not feasible. Building a bicycle-powered helicopter is not feasible. Deciding that safety is more important than delay is not a matter of feasibility, but a policy choice.

Glad the rhinestone cowboy is here to lecture us on warrior culture.

Holy fuck this ref is a joke

Somebody finally listened to tourists complaining about the steep walk to the Town Clock.

"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed," says Commission chair, Justice Srinivasan Muralidhar. At least 5,031 were under five; 1,029 under one and about 420 newborns. Save the Children estimates a further 5,160 children remain buried under rubble.

ICYMI: I interviewed more Nova Scotia mayors today who spoke about how climate change is affecting their towns. It’s not good.

Salt contamination? We live in Canada’s ocean playground!

Or they will paint themselves as climate “pragmatists” who say they *believe* in climate change, but also claim we can’t act on it right now because of Trump/the economy/the oil companies really needing our money/etc.

We need to prime ourselves for whiplash in the coming years. We logically assume that the rapidly spiralling climate will make the deniers think twice, when really they're gonna get much worse, much more stupid, and much more proactive in their denials

The only poll that matters is the one on election day, but it is interesting how much of their record popularity the PC’s have squandered by pointlessly targeting things Nova Scotians care about: arts, culture, schools, libraries, cannabis…

The pipeline announcement begins with Carney acknowledging, without a hint of irony, the “biblical weather” in Ottawa yesterday. Extreme weather huh? Like the kind exacerbated by climate change? You don’t say! Hm!!!!

But we can’t address climate change because it’s too costly.

Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past.

New Episode Alert!! @halifaxdave33.bsky.social and @dartmouthderek.bsky.social attended the two Canadian world cup games in Vancouver. They give us the low down on the experience. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts! Happy Canada Day Everyone! #canadasoccer #worldcup #canadaday

It's hotter in the Arctic circle today than fucking Cuba. But okay mr prime minister sir. More oil and gas.

Counterpoint: an unstable climate won’t be good for global stability or national unity.

What the hell am I doing drinking Port Moody? (Again)

What could possibly go wrong?

Carney appears to feel AI has more right to safe drinking water than First Nations

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Not the result we wanted, but a good time was had. On to the next round!

"Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, an ⁠independent UN inquiry has found."

HRM AG said there were elements to these infractions that “moved past the line of clearly not just compliant and started to make me ask whether they were a little worse than not compliant.” www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

I am begging people to start electing better mayors. www.cbc.ca/lite/story/9...

Removing my 23 year old "Freedom Fries" sign now that France has finally launched an offensive attack on Iraq.

"The Mi'kmaw Grand Council gathered once again earlier this month at Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, N.S., standing on the same ground where their predecessors signed the first Peace and Friendship treaty with the British Crown 300 years ago." The province cut funding for this event.

Last night, Madiha Mughees @mmughees.bsky.social was awarded the silver Atlantic Journalism Award in the sport category for her articles about cricket in Halifax. I could not be more proud of her. A newcomer to Canada, Madiha only started reporting two years ago. short 🧵

Just saw a cybertruck with the personalized plate “Space-Y”

to be clear, this fascist shit is happening because the king told a lie about vandalism and they're retroactively arresting people to try to make it seem like it's true

Thanks again to the folks that provided recommendations for roofers. Now that that’s done, any recommendation for gutter installation?

What a day yesterday was.

Does HRM seriously have nothing better to do than police people’s lawns? www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

I keep coming back to this James Baldwin quote: "The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."

It will be good for the billionaires and that’s all they care about.

Granting bail is the release of a person accused of a crime, before they appear at trial. 2025 bail data indicates that ~1 in 3 people who were denied bail, had all charges against them dropped, so we jail innocent people and now will increase the numbers? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat. The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.

The CAQ has abandoned its controversial Quebec constitution, which Amnesty International previously referred to as a violation of multiple laws and human rights. After invoking the notwithstanding clause to pass legislation like Bills 21 and 96, the CAQ let the constitution die last week. #polqc
