"I'm fine." Well I'm not! Are there no limits, no bounaries? www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/char...

And the winner of the best post of the day goes to.......

Walking SGR Halifax looking at restaurant scene. Hit peak treat; can go out every night, never repeat menu. On the Other hand.... I can be so freakin petty & irritated. Clock outside jewelry store still 3 minutes slow. Why does this bother me? Folks in store are better. Is it not a poor ad?

“When 97 percent of the stories are bad about a person, it’s no longer free speech,” (the words of FCC Chair Carr are equally chilling.) I honestly feel very sad for Americans. It's like watching your neighbour's house catch fire and they can't find the hydrant. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Sometimes when I'm trying to write, I think "no one would believe this." And every time I doubt myself, some one comes along and says things more stupid and vile than anything I could ever imagine. Dear Dan Brown, here's a lead character for your next book.

Watched a movie last night where someone walking was struck by a driver & died, my spouse quietly whispered to me "I dread this happening to you every time you ride your bike". Getting from A to B through a healthy & efficient mode of transport should not be something that kills us #SafeStreetsNS

I'm not wanting to add more attention towards him, but considering our Parliament gave him a standing ovation, I thought they might want to know what more can be done. I laughed the first time I read this, and then I cried. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/p...

Oh my @ryansnoddon.bsky.social ya gotta love frontal systems

I love having something with dinner that says "shake well before using." Oh baby, I got that covered! :-)

I just realized @cbctom.bsky.social tomorrow is big derby day for #liverpool vs #everton . I'll be watching that over morning coffee!

And whilst distracted... www.politico.eu/article/russ...

What to do on Friday (geek)? I know, I'll look at deprivation indices and connect to climate change (equity & climate). HRM is interesting because it's so urban and so rural, and it's a coastal zone known for big storms and now more fires. Who is more safe and/or resilient and where do they live?

Good-bye and thanks for all the fish. #Ai #FingAi www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

You slap me in the face and then whine that I'm not grateful?

Fascists in Halifax not taking a hint.

I'm probably culturally isolated which is why I've not seen Andor. A friend sent this "must watch" and suggested I guess when Disney will cancel it for "calling-out the Emperor; telling the truth" Disney loves cancelling truth-tellers. (must watch series :-) ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQd4...

I remember hanging out with dad at CFB Shearwater, and over the course of a year or so I saw 6 types of CDN Forces jets each unique roles/capabilities. And we're going all in on F-35? That's never a smart move. We sure as hell wouldn't do it with the navy. It's not just $$ www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I really can't recall seeing a head line like this, except in one of those weird "Obama was born on Venus" type rags. (While it sounds funny, the who, how and why of it is another example of the rot infecting us). www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It's been a few days (weeks) since I took a pic of the campus from the lab. That's all. :-)

Trump in England: "the language born on these isles and perfected in the pages of Shakespeare and Dickens, Tolkien and Lewis, Orwell and Kipling—incredible people, unbelievable people like we have rarely seen before and probably won’t see again." Safe statement. He doesn't read.

I have a blood pressure cuff here at home. When I start it during "Power and Politics" on CBC the damn things shorts out. Problem is: folks forget Trump tossed a grenade into our political economy. BUT he is holding one in each hand, pins out, and we have no clue what's coming. Start there.

Football spooky trivia: Marcos Llorente (Atletico) in 2020 scores two goals to tie 2-2 against Liverpool, in Liverpool, in the Champions league. Tonight, he just scored two against Liverpool, in Liverpool, to tie 2-2 in the Champions League. That's some crazy football spooky shit!

The dang Rolex street clock still seems to be running a little fast. It's a tiny thing in life, but it's like that itch that won't go away :-)

Via condotti is open looks grande. Another one the list

Bet most folks didn't ponder this. #climate #education www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Transit is. Always doing the two buses of same route arrive same time. It's really not that hard to go at the right time and wait for the right time.

@hfx-fire.bsky.social union has stated they can't keep up with #Halifax population growth. The Middle Sackville Fire is a prime example of this. In a direct follow up post by Halifax Professional Fire Fighters they stated they had not only half the crew required but this was a failure of leadership

Well, another of that generation has passed away. www.independent.ie/style/celebr...

Ah to wake up and hearing "tentative agreement" is an interesting feeling. Crossing fingers 🤞

Lots of activity at Lord Nelson. EHS and HRP???

FFS! So we've repealed hate speech laws? Political violence isn't something to celebrate (some have, ghoulishly). But to frame this as a freedom of speech case ignores the messages & impacts from Kirk. Those messages would certainly end up in our courts as hate speech. I am sickened & disappointed

Thank heavens I have a dentist appointment in a couple of hours. A nice root canal will give me a chance to relax and escape the stupidity pandemic. Distraction is underrated.

Oh goodie! Another #geographyfail to add to my file! thanks Alex

How can so many in "leadership and governance" roles at one university epitomize the "Peter Principle." #keepDalStrong

Here is a detailed and truthful account of what is going on with the Dalhousie labour dispute. @dalhousieu.bsky.social @dalfaculty.bsky.social #keepdalstrong www.reddit.com/r/Dalhousie/...

Ah Halifax, the Atlantic International Film Festival (AIFF), means you can sit in the cafe and see a few famous Canadians. And you sit back and avoid the stereotype selfie. But enjoying things vicariously can be just as much fun.

The first reveal of groom and bride. Little does he know it's my6 foot 7 nephew in a wedding dress. I think the people five km heard the laughs

The wedding brunch for family being held outside Halifax. The bride, my darling niece was so sweet to get a special mug so I could have 🍾 or 🍷 without shaking it all over those gathered. Yes!!!❤️

Holy shite and all that is holy batman. jfc ffs This is the ultimate giving inside voice an audience.

Someone suggested that the positions of Kirk were simply expressed as "contrary views." Am I out of touch for thinking that's simply false?

"Shouting erupts amid moment of silence for Kirk" Along with the proposed House Resolution by Rep. Nancy Mace for him to lie in *Honor in the Capitol*, the marbles have been shook vigorously, right out of some heads. www.politico.com/live-updates...

For my geography, GIS, cartography colleagues. I found this interesting and reminds me of some Arctic resource and climate change mapping via our Marine Affairs Program. doi.org/10.1111/cag....

Things might be shite, but Saturday is my niece's wedding. This uncle will be so happy, over the moon, ecstatic, thrilled, proud. So for at least that day, I'll be ignoring the world and paying attention to the people that matter.

Breaking: Dalhousie union and administration close to an agreement, with legally required "return to work" plan as missing piece. As of Thursday evening the union has proposed one, the administration has not yet done so.

No matter how vile his views were I would never agree with what happened. His family doesn't deserve it. But 2 things can be true Martyr creation. Mirroring of JFK being flown back. Combined with flags at half mast, a moment of silence at Yankee's game and a tragedy becomes fuel for more violence

The news is wacked. It's been an horrific few days (yes, years) and recent events are worrisome to say the least. But I have a Mennonite choir singing in the park below my window. They are as perfect as any choir I've heard. Touching. Reaching into the soul. Talk about perfect timing.

Miss you mate. I recall getting *that call* walking into class. Hardest teaching ever that day; your Navy temperament would have told me to do it. You'd love that there's a women's & men's pro team a block from me. We'd have season tickets. 💙 (p.s. ⚽Stoke City, WHU, England are fine. Canada wow ⚽)

SO... the $50K the city council is not for economic impact but for security costs.

The irony is that the people who fix these things, develop the contracts, do the finances/economics of the agreements are people we taught how to do those things properly and with a view to reputation, recruitment and retention, and fairness with those who carry the load....faculty and staff.
