Despite the label, "flushable" wipes don't break down like toilet paper. They can clog pipes, cause sewer backups, and lead to wastewater overflows that impact the environment. Protect our wastewater system by flushing only the 3 Ps: pee, poo, and toilet paper. halifaxwater.ca/flushablewipes

NYTimes: "If the New York Times was using the word lie 20 times in an article or multiple times on the front page, don't you think that would sort of change not just people's sort of sense of our own fairness and what we were focusing on, but also like lose the potency of the word itself?"
🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Many congratulations to Anne Carson for the well-deserved Nobel Prize! This is also great news for Translation, Classics, Poetry, the breaking of generic and disciplinary boundaries, and the fact that you don't have to fit a pre-existing mould to have a brilliant, successful career.

Seconded and posted. Everyone else get aboard and let it fly.
The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

To the surprise of no-one, other than MAGA, Greenland remains part of Denmark. Despite Trump claiming the US secured “permanent control,” a security pact mainly preserves military access, basing & overflight rights the US has had since 1951. Denmark retains sovereignty #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

One thing for which I'm certain: Everyone, including the president of the United States, is going to have a completely normal reaction to the Bills playing the Canadian national anthem.
The Buffalo Bills announced that they will play both the American and Canadian national anthem for the first time at the Highmark Stadium opener. They're definitely making a push to expand their fanbase in southern Ontario, and this shows unity as a border city. The Sabres have always done this.

Snowbirds, resist the siren call of U.S. travel "Expressions of affection by tourism operators are not enough to soothe Washington’s latest betrayals of our country, including blatant attacks on our sovereignty and culture," writes Rita Trichur. "Americans are proving to be fair-weather friends."
