these naturally spawn around poms

Expressions of Tigris, my little heroine~~ #art #OCart

We also want to get out to parks, beaches, trails, and other green spaces. Budget cuts are destroying everything.

During the COVID lockdowns, what did we all miss the most? Going out to concerts, art galleries, museums, theatre, comedy shows, pubs, restaurants, and getting our hair cut! In emergencies when the power is out we want to get groceries and a double-double! These people all make our lives better.

Another shitty guy just got Chotiner’d

I really enjoyed SailGP when it was last in Halifax. I'm sure there are some economic benefits to having it. But when the province is cutting 12/28 provincial museums, because of the dire financial circumstances we are in, giving a grant to SailGP is ridiculous. Houston is such a capitalist dweeb.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

For those who missed it, my @halifaxexaminer.ca Morning File today. More on the provincial budget and its effects, stories by too many Examiner writers to tag, plus, a book recommendation! (Spoiler: it's @elliottgish.bsky.social's debut novel, Grey Dog.) www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

White ask how we even qualify for this funding if we’re not doing any of our own tree planting? The application is based on the capital spend for new trees, not the operational cost of the labour of planting the trees. Staff calls it “weird” I’d say “sketchy”

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

you kickstarted a harassment campaign against me and then further degraded me when i DMed you confronting you about it by posting it to your thousands of followers. i had to deactivate my account and then i got threatened with revenge porn that got posted on here. you aren't the fucking victim here.

I'm in there somewhere next to a guy with a snare drum and another dude with a trombone. Very noisy. Very fun.

What if you floated upwards 1 ft every second? What the latest What If? video in collaboration with @minuteearth.bsky.social! youtu.be/oTzW-mTQd5w

Like every other conservative politician who’s run out of ideas, François Legault continues to blame immigrants and minorities for his failed economic politicies. #polqc

I had to come back to work but spent a couple of the first hours at the demonstration and it was amazing just how many folks were there and the passion that was present. We're all really fucking pissed at our province house creatures and we're making it known. #nspoli

Whoever made the paper mache head with bozo on it, please know I want to buy you a beer. This made my day. Lol. #nspoli

One of the chants: "Bring back the HST! Don't cut our community!" Reverse that 1% HST cut and the museums and festivals and music and Nova Scotia publishing are secure again

There are hundreds of signs hung to the fence outside Province House. Here's a sampling.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN* *After a lot of initial backlash, a truly despicable mayor and basically kicking the can until you're up against the can eating machine

Hell yeah parking fees are going up

We could post something smart and important about artificially low municipal taxes, austerity budgets, and the economic self-destruction of too many cities — or we could just recommend that you READ AND SHARE this really important THREAD below. #UrbanTruth

Called Brendan Maguire MLA from the demonstration in front of province house cuz it's funny

Department Of Agriculture: Extreme Beach Volleyball

I've had bots giving fake engagement to the mayor's Facebook page, but I don't know how long this will keep him distracted!

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

I aspire to exude as much confidence as this little Kinesin protein strutting along a microtubule while hauling intracellular cargo. Look at that little guy go! 🔬🧪

So why am I working on a weird computer thing when I have other projects I really wanna get done? Well, ADHD plays a significant role here. But also, I see projects like this silly one in the same way an illustrator sees their sketchbook. I'm learning things and growing skills for my main projects.

It's funny that I'm learning FreeCAD again to finally get rid of Windows. If anyone missed my last attempts at this, my verdict so far is that the most recent stable release is just unusable. But the current weeklies are actually usable even if sometimes frustrating.

Because YT's algo tried to suggest a video to me, I am reminded of the great mysteries of the world: 1) What was the 1st life like 2) How did the Egyptians build up the pyramids 3) What was Stonehenge for 4) How is Doug Walker still making YouTube videos 5) Why is he still using that channel name

I love the signs people had at the protest!

Apparently the protests are really getting to the provincial government. They’re pushing budget talks til 10pm tonight and blaming it on today’s protest. In other words, it’s working Nova Scotia. Keep going!

A combat-unit commander told officers at a briefing Monday that President Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth". www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Christ Almighty, it's Jared Leto.

At the risk of turning everything into a Halifax municipal politics conversation. This is also a very strong argument for the rapid implementation of electric bus infrastructure and bus and bike lanes.

Council got a presentation about how past councils made the mistakes to get us into our current disaster: TLDR too much focus on short term things like a low tax rate. Lesson learned? Great! Now onto the main debate entirely about how low we can get this tax rate, just like council requested.

Just watched MULTIPLE cars nearly mow down schoolchildren at the Drysdale/Herring Cove Rd intersection either by cutting them off at a crosswalk on a right turn or 5 FUCKING CARS RUNNING A RED LIGHT WHILE A LESS THAN 10 YEAR OLD WAS TRYING TO CROSS. Jesus fucking Christ.

…I go to ONE WORK MEETING what the absolute fuck is happening

Says with the rise in e-bikes 15km bike commutes are becoming more common CDG has a question. Asks if 100 cyclists hit in 2025 is correct It is.

Peter Polly from Polycorp is up next. He’s also from IPOANS/RHPNS. He’s just doing exactly what Kevin Russell did and reading out comments from who he specifies are “real people” against the tax increase.

The pokopia font generator thing likely isn't AI, especially because of its consistency. Apparently the people behind it are pro AI, so that may temper my use of it going forward, but please stop labelling everything as GenAI that isn't, because it makes GenAI look better than it is.

falling car sales may not kill Tesla, but the legacy automakers deciding to stop subsidizing their alleged "disruptor" definitely will www.electrive.com/2026/03/03/t...

“ #Canada -still clutching its moral rulebook, still preaching to the congregation at #Davos, still holding consultations when it should be deploying countermeasures—is bringing a rulebook to a bulldozer fight.” #trade #US #CUSMA

Lol Killam REIT is now speaking at the budget committee. Make sure to throw eggs when it's safe to do so.

Next up is Eveline VanderKloet. She’s not scared of what will happen if taxes go up, she’s scared of what will happen if they don’t. Rather pay a few hundred a year, than live in a city void of services and accessible infrastructure like transit and bike lanes

Thinking about this every time someone comes at me for putting ketchup on eggs.

One thing that might save Earth from the US empire's collapse is the likelyhood they have zero idea how to maintain nuclear weapons anymore either given the decades of systemic anti-intellectualism so they'd land like a somewhat radioactive wet fart.

Lunar eclipse early today as moon set over Halifax

That one tune in Castlevania III... does it sound like a squeaky hinge, or maybe a plastic straw in a disposable cup?
