Gordon who is Grumpy

The IDU is an international syndicate for far-right authoritarians, and Canada’s Conservative Party is actively aligned with it. Keeping membership in this organization is a direct betrayal of democratic values. An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

A number of reports of snow in Cape Breton this evening!

Mark Carney on Elon Musk throttling Starlink: "I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision or group of people took this decision against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of the citizens against naked aggression."

Dear AI slop companies, No. No to the sponsorship offers. No to the "collab" offers. No to paid ad space. No. No. No. And No. Sincerely, xB PS: Have the day you deserve.

The Nova Scotia NDP scolding MLA Paul Wozney just seems like a perfect example of the "be kind" tropes we see all the time. I always say when people say "be kind" what they really mean is "be quiet." The Nova Scotia NDP want us to "be kind/quiet." Taking to the streets is not violence.

This is indefensible behaviour from Everwind. The research done by this reddit poster on the issue is worth your time. The link to the thread www.reddit.com/r/halifax/co... - The Halifax Examiner is one of the last true resources we have for journalism in Nova Scotia. Disgusting.

I’ll try again then The reason electricity is awesome is because once you plug everything into a grid, it doesn’t *matter* where the power comes from. You have your load and you have your capacity and you have some work to balance them but it’s all “in” and “out”.

If your grid is dirty today because you’ve got a couple coal burning power plants in Cape Breton, good environmental policy still should be “electrify demand” because you can replace those coal plants with solar or wind or nuclear and nothing else changes.

This is NOT normal. I cannot think of anything like it in the 40 years I reported. (Including 30 covering NS politics). No Nova Scotia should be ok with this.

On a certain podcast, a pair of former Paul Martin advisors were chuckling about this advice -- and the inherent irony. Here's the difference: Chretien was on track to win another majority government when Martin and his people took him down. Freeland *saved* her party from oblivion by doing it.

I can’t click through without ruining my algorithm forever but I am dying to know what exactly they want a historian to do at ICE

So I gather they've cleaned up the Nazi Bar lately - it now has cask ale and a great sound system and the Nazis mostly just stay in their corner and don't seig heil as loudly anymore

The stars over Big Bend belong to all Texans, not the Ultra Wealthy. Now data center development in West Texas is raising new concerns about protecting our dark skies, including those surrounding McDonald Observatory. We need to protect our natural treasures before they’re lost to corporate greed.

So much space for cars.

My blue jays may have had a horrible season where they couldn’t get slug to save their life; but at least I still get to enjoy the Jankees make 3 errors in the first inning and have a hilarious 5th inning.

The death penalty is one of those things where I tend to assume everyone normal agrees with me and then it comes up and it’s like, oh! You DO believe the state should kill people!

GEORGE SPRINGER IS CRYING I AM CRYING BASEBALL IS BEAUTIFUL

Thank god they didn’t trade him at the deadline

As a fan of the top team on everyone’s no go list, I can’t overstate how cool it was to watch that happen on my team. See you next year, Max.

#BlueJays win, 5-1. There weren’t many days worth remembering this season, but today was one. They finish 2026 at 79-83, last place in the American League East.

GEORGE SPRINGER LAST DAY MOODBOARD

brazilian president passes executive order that bans all bets companies, casino sites and gambling sites

More crying in baseball.

PM Carney: "I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Leader of the Opposition on his 20th anniversary of the HOC. We will build Canada strong ... they will have an opportunity to join us, and he will have an opportunity to do something for the first time in two decades." 🔥😂

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Reading all the statements from the young, lesser-known artists dropping out of Ed Sheeran's tour, which could have been an incredible and lucrative career opportunity for them, fills me with such admiration.

Free Palestine

When I see a play like this, the bases clearing double it makes one think. In a completely unrelated thought, is anyone else sick and tired of all the betting ads, odds in the broadcasts, etc?

And while we're at it, let's not forget the Epstein Files, all of which have still not been released!
