Can someone tell the CFIA that a cookie that tastes like chewing on white dude dreads after a week at a music festival is not a cookie, calling it a cookie should be a literal crime. That wasn’t a cookie. That dirt puck ruined my morning.

Eagles live alone, Geese flock together.

But yeah, property taxes are the problem. Andy Filmore is leaving HRM to the wolves

Comment section filled with people claiming that the “mystery” respiratory bug going around is infecting anti-vaxxers because the vax is “designed” to attack them… “I’m not vaxxed and I got sick so the vax caused it” is something like -4 reading level stupid.

Was looking at some nonfiction science books to read to my kid and oh man the sheer amount of AI Generated “science” books being marketed at kids on Amazon. When the cover of the book screams zero effort, I can’t imagine the nonsense in the pages.

1) IV 2) Rogue One 3) V 4) III 5) Andor 5) VII 6) Rebels 7) VIII 8) The Mandalorian 9) Bad Batch 10) Ahsoka Everything after that is fine, it’s all got its pros and cons.

Social connection leads to better health, both physical and mental. Programs like the Memory Cafe in the Antigonish Library provide opportunities for connection. Did you know? The cost of public library service is $21.62 per person, per year in provincial funding. Learn more here buff.ly/IAvhw3o

Attempting to rewatch Lost for the first time since the finale aired.. pleased to report that I'm midway through the first episode and all I can think about is the series finale and how it makes much of the show... pointless? Oh and the whole Evie Lilly anti-vax thing. I may bail on the rewatch.

Welcome to “after decades of insisting in austerity, Boomers point out the results of their greed by making it some sort of moral failure instead of taking any responsibility” season. Wonderful to see them use Christmas as a weapon to whine about the world they destroyed.

Changes are coming. Your local public library needs sustainable funding from the Province of Nova Scotia, otherwise it will have to cut hours, services and programs in 2026 To learn more, please visit www.parl.ns.ca/news/letstal... or drop by to speak to us, November 25-27, 2025 #LetsTalkLibraries

Trump looks just so happy. Mamdani looks like he’s barely holding down his lunch but Trump doesn’t notice and is just excited to do a little BFF photoshoot with him.

By all means, make yourself comfortable.

“Depict the history of Nova Scotia using legos” Just that produced this, and while it’s imperfect it’s insane the technical jump that Gemini took this week:

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mamdani look this miserable.

Luckily the Conservatives aren’t in government.

Not sure who made this, but probably the most accurate representation of the current state of tech to date

We were worried that the older cat would not handle the kitten very well (she’s super territorial). Well, it took two weeks but I think we have a friendship brewing.

“We could just take that ice cream cake downstairs, cover it in meringue and light it on fire, boom Baked Alaska” Mornings in a chef household

This is beyond cowardice. Fillmore knows damned well that he’s ignoring actual solutions and instead doubling down on outdated, nonsense policy designed to redirect frustrated voters at someone else.

As a lapsed Catholic, there's no love lost for the church in my heart. BUT between this and the Catholic churches largely passing the "my baby is starving" test, it's a good day for Catholics. www.cbc.ca/news/world/p...

We need to elect politicians who have enough brains to understand that keeping taxes as low as possible is bad for society. They also need to have the spine to understand that it's their fucking job to convince constituents of the value of their contributions to the public good.

Fillmore is up and going to propose an alternative that's a hybrid of staff's two recommendations. He wants to keep the tax rate flat but makeup the difference with cuts *and* fees.

They’re launching a rocket over our heads today and it’s next to impossible to get actual details about it, the only small town source of info are a series of poorly moderated Facebook groups so any real info is buried in a quagmire of rumours and gossip

Do you know what doesn't go offline when Cloudfare or AWS have "issues"? A home based cloud/media server acting as host for your website, media and work files.

Re-upping this for, uh, reasons cyberscoop.com/with-each-cl...

I mean, Americans have demonstrated that they'd rather step back and let the Republicans run amok than take a stand and fight, so why not?

AWS goes down one day, Cloudfare not soon after. It'd sure be great if the United States hadn't decided that cybersecurity was lame ten months ago. That way instead of dissecting his crime emails, the President could be focused on why the global internet is now incredibly unstable.

Ok so budget passed, how long before the media starts looking for the next confidence vote so they can keep the “is there going to be an election” cycle going? (Bonus points if the reporting also includes speculation on the likelihood of a recession)

Ok, who’s crashing here the night before so we can head to Canso on launch day

Is it normal to stan a star while also wishing for its demise? Sorry Betelgeuse, you’re wonderful but I really want to see how people handle the change to our sky when the light from your eventual supernova reaches us.

I’d like to think that the coming new year will be a little better than the current year. You know, just for the sake of hope. But with the US midterms and plenty of major events (Olympics, World Cup, 250th), Trump is going to be busy making 2025 look like a kitten.

Btw, this was caused by Tylenol as well

Sexual assault, femicide, domestic violence, etc. stories are all over the news these days and it can make us feel really overwhelmed and powerless. Might I suggest signing up to learn bystander intervention? It'll give you concrete tools to feel empowered. And it's free! Join me:

So yeah, fuck it. Let's have an election. Dear NDP/CPC, I double dog dare you.

20:10: Emergency services are currently responding to a multi-vehicle collision on Highway 104 near distance marker 202 in the community of Marshy Hope. Initial reports indicating a vehicle struck a deer, now up to four vehicles may be involved — and a pedestrian. Exercise caution in the area.

Is there such a thing as getting so (justifiably) angry that you fall asleep?

If you see this, post a bird.

If Epstein-Trump evidence comes out that may actually have an effect on anything, you all realize that all they have to do is claim that it’s fake to mobilize their bubble to ignore it, right?

“Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned fascism will take it away”

Just a reminder that an MBA is not a qualification to design or try and fix a public health care system.

Failed state says what?

The kitten may have figured out that we’re using a camera to keep an eye on him in his little isolation base camp…

This is the best article on Canada and the US that I’ve read in a decade, a must read, must bookmark.

Please watch

Not even a year since a CPC government seemed inevitable, Pierre Poilievre has nearly managed to talk and mismanage himself out of a job. I wouldn’t be shocked if Jenni Byrne throws him entirely under the bus by Christmas. (Meanwhile seems like Justin is living a happy life, which is even better)

I’m genuinely excited for the new episodes of Scrubs. I’m even more excited because it’s fun to watch them do backflips to try and keep people from realizing what a snit Zach Braff is, easy to do before social media, much harder now.

The CBC coverage of the CFIA ostrich cull seems designed to undermine public health, the conditions of the flock and the refusal of the owners to comply with basic regulations should be highlighted each time. Instead the coverage is going to spread paranoia and anti-science nonsense.
