Wisteria year 1: "herbicides are cancer poison so I will use them sparingly" Wisteria year 2:

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

I don't get why some Nova Scotians don't like immigrants. 80 years of everyone you know moving away, I'd think you'd be happy for somebody new to talk to.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

It's funny that for all of the attention and importance given to privately administered polls, there's very little energy around formalizing random surveys as governmental tool. Instead consultation is largely dominated by interest groups.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

that's the point i was (none too subtly lol) making with this: modern fascism can totally be beaten, but you have to fight - & you have to do the groundwork so you can fight effectively www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Rumor going around town that ICE is going to be targeting local schools during drop offs and pick ups. Had to have a serious conversation with other parents about strategies to keep our kids and their parents safe. People are crying, terrified. But at least we’re free from terrorism

I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Are we grinches or can we just no longer afford to subsidize the failure of social programs because too many of us have now been failed by our tattered and often non-existent social safety net?

@katmabu.bsky.social Sighting on CBC!... Oh fuck though, what a nightmare. youtu.be/0zBiGxDTeRM?...

Some pics from what’s under the surface at Dartmouth Cove from today’s bioblitz

Just so y'all know... @katmabu.bsky.social is next.

most of the last decade of my career was a frantic effort to warn as many people as possible about the dangers i saw coming in the near future now that all the stuff i saw coming is here, i dunno what to do other than maybe start a Warhammer 40k podcast

Cutting taxes makes life affordable and you can tell because we've been cutting taxes for 40 years and life has never been more affordable.

The computer has done so much to bring people together from all over who may have had trouble finding their community, but then again the computer has done so much to bring people together from all over who may have had trouble finding their community.

those of us who cannot get out need to find ways to survive. you will not survive by going underground to leave those slowing the tide to fend for themselves. we all go under together or not at all. those who get grabbed, invest your energy in making them feel loved & supported. do not forget them.

wizard frog is insane

In part 2 of this 4-part case against generative AI, @edzitron.com walks you through how NVIDIA funds and pumps money into unprofitable, debt-ridden “neoclouds” all to create vehicles to buy more GPUs - all to cover up the lack of demand for generative AI compute. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...

this is basically portland's version of a haka

The good news is that Halifax's finances are only super fucked if more of this map is pink instead of green.

1/ CBC posted a fantastic report this morning, covering some of the members of far-right active club networks as well as Second Sons Canada, a active club derivative from Diagolon. While they didn't cover BC groups, this is an important read. www.cbc.ca/newsinteract...

The Israeli military is bombing Gaza again, breaching the ceasefire. Hundreds of people are already reported killed. This is not because they could not use diplomacy to achieve the goals that made them agree to the ceasefire. It is because having achieved them, they can now resume the genocide.

Passed by the Macdonald toll area this evening, looks weird without the toll booths. Also, annual bridge toll revenue was higher than Halifax Transit revenue, imagine free buses and ferries instead...

I feel like such a deadbeat when I work these 12-hour days and my cats get so excited and affectionate when I finally get up from my desk for the day. they deserve so much better 😔

this is the same basic dynamic as the way the media refuses to call him fascist or say Musk gave a Nazi salute: the thing that is being done has implications that cannot be faced, so it cannot be said to be happening

8-7 encampments stay listed, RIP Fillmore's stupid motion.
