2 unhoused community members have died this week while trying to survive outside, unsheltered. Two. In just few days. One in Amherst and one in Halifax.

Oh god yes this too

Our lives right now are like “I bought a new rug, it’s so pretty!” And then 2 months later: “This rug will now listen to your conversations and charge you when you step on it.”

Ugh goddamit it. I just starting using Discord. :(

screenshot of Facebook Marketplace listing showing a bottle of Star Trek themed perfume called "Pon Farr"

Close up shot of the cover, with Spock looking lustful. The tagline on the box is "Drive him crazy" in an old sci-fi font.

A bit of the back of the box. The text says: "Pon Farr. Leave logic behind. Because having is not always so pleasing a thing as wanting."

Seen on Marketplace, Pon Farr perfume. "Leave Logic Behind."

Is the U.S. on a slow march to civil war? - Halifax Examiner I grew up with stories of the Greek civil war; now I think of them when I look at news out of the U.S.

On the plus side, it was an excellent article. I enjoy Moscovitch's clear, honest, and present style of writing. I think it says something about how much Halifax has grown that we have him as a journalist, rather than always losing our best to Toronto.

An article I just read explained what a payphone was and I crumbled into dust and died.

Also, the indirect benefit is that more folks in buses means a quieter, calmer street that is more pleasant to walk on, thereby increasing foot traffic and business.

Yes. But sadly nobody's been able to convince Quinpool store owners of this.

From what I've heard, there's strong opposition from the store owners. And, to be fair, I've known a few suburbanites who've told me that, if they can't park right out front, they're not going. That said, most customers on Quinpool probably are locals who walked.

He’s so out of touch he thinks Billie Eilish is a movie about a kid who likes to dance.

He’s so out of touch he thinks Ariana Grande is something you order at Starbucks.

It might be less stupid than that. Trump can claim we signed a free trade deal (a lie), which opens the US to the dumping of cheap Chinese goods via Canada. That would be a national emergency which would give him one more murky justification for invasion.

Hey @globalnews.ca, this is an irresponsible and dangerous headline choice. Have you watched the video? If so, why would you platform a quote containing clear disinformation, without context? Fix it.

When this shit comes to Canada, I guess we can count on Global News being firmly on the side of the boot.

Are there fireworks?? Or did the Americans invade?

Leftists have been saying for decades that what we let happen in Palestine will come to be used on us.

The International Rules Based Order was always a myth.
As long as the countries being swallowed were “over there” we were happy to ride along.
Now that the crocodile is eyeing the little birds on its back, we’re all crying out.

What the world needs now is a time traveller with good aim.

The image is of the Earth, seen from space. A label saying “Bluesky” is on it. Falling from space is the Tor Books logo (like a little spaceship with green jets coming out) and a bunch of their books (also with green jets) flying behind. :)

Not yet.

No idea. We’re in Canada.

Glitter Pickles? That sounds like my new drag name, not something I’d wanna eat.

Some, but mostly touchscreens, if I'm remembering it correctly.

The internal controls were so incredible. It felt like being 10 years in the future.

That James Gilleard cover is gorgeous.
