This is quite the "thank you" for all the work DNR did during the wildfires and the summer of drought. Holy fuck.

Between this and the austerity at city hall it's nihilism only from here on out.

Somehow my house key got caught in the sewing on the end of my bomber jacket, slid off the keyhoop attached to the carabiner and its been there the whole time

So now im sitting in my apartment stairwell waiting on my roommate to get home, while the person downstair makes some nice smelling food that is a little too smokey and its agitating my lungs 🫠

So I walk a little quicker up the hill and get home and take my carabiner off my belt loop and discover my key is missing 🙃

Grumble I am just not having any luck at all

Called purple cow, they'll send one of their own to look around but they are thinking its the new splitter eastlink put in, also supposed to get a callback to troubleshoot the modem...

Tony Mancini: I don't think we've ever given an organization five million dollars.

Me, looking at a paving tender awarded to one company valued at tens of millions of dollars:

YouTube video by HalifaxChamber 2025 Annual state of the Municipality with Mayor Andy Fillmore

Some fun facts about Fillmore's speech $13,000 speech is that it is equivalent to:

1) $2.65 a word

2) $460 a minute

3) 787 hours of work at minimum wage

4) 6 years of my personal property taxes

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

i read that stupid blog about the left "missing out" on AI and got big mad aftermath.site/anthropic-cl...

~$430 per minute for the Mayor's state of the municipality address. paid to an outside consultant and speechwriter (no shade on them, get that bag).

can't stop talking about wasteful spending but it's all projection. this man never met a dollar of someone else's money he couldn't fritter away.

Checking in on council budget meeting again and the CAO's office under the glare of councillors now. Seems like a lot of noticing that the mayor gets to grandstand with contrarian and harmful politic on the public dime when councillors can't expense anything to social media.

So fillmore wants cuts that will negatively impact our growing population but believes that a population growth justifies his budget going up lol

Andy Fillmore at Halifax City Hall. Follow Mar 26, 2025 Good news HRM: In the election ... campaign I committed to fight to keep the tax rate flat, and today our budget committee delivered. The recommendation to full Council is for no increase in the tax rate for this year's budget. Big thanks to my Council colleagues for the thoughtful discussions that achieved a win for HRM citizens. Mayor Andy Fillmore Halifax Regional Municipality

Might not have said it recently but he ran his election on that exact wording

Like a revolving door?

Council is discussing the mayors budget

The guy who said "we must all tighten our belts" is now saying "we should be reinforcing success" while trying to gut our city of essential services and the arts

Imo Halifax would be better off without a mayor

N.S. politicians prepare for the legislature's spring session — and an opening day budget | CBC News MLAs are scheduled to return to the Nova Scotia Legislature for the spring session on Monday and sources tell CBC News that Finance Minister John Lohr is expected to table his budget that same day.

« There’s no reason to think that transparency is a value for this government. »
NS budget being tabled Monday PM. Speculation that there will be cuts to programs and services. The austerity playbook will hurt those already hurting. Especially if HRM does similar. #nspoli

Idk if anyone was aware but last month eastlink tried to get the CRTC to let them discontinue 100mb and 300mb sharing to third party access, luckily it didn't happen but the these monopolies are doing everything to charge people more

X is absolutely cooking the brains of the entire political class that remains on there. The ones who think they're immune are probably the most affected.

In reality if I have to lose hours of work to hang around to listen to a eastlink tech gaslight me again about how its the modem and I should just join eastlink I might lose it lol

Did some googling and the only thing I could gather is its probably the drop cable from the apartment to the line, ill probably call purple cow again to talk about it but I don't think its an urgent thing atm

My roommate let me know that the internet was wonky yesterday, didn't let her connect, she restarted it and its fine

I look in the modem today and see were still get T3 timeout errors but not as frequently and download and upload is good

Literally like 12 hours after I posted this DE launched it globally lol

You cannot express any interest in Marathon without 100 dumb fucks with AI pfps going "ERM CONCORD 3.0!!"

That’s what these social media bans are all about: parents who are livid that their child went online and found a loving and supportive community outside of their abusive home environment

Nothing is surer to generate goodwill around the world than the US curating its very own state-sponsored 4chan board

Austerity for thee, not for me

Surprised Andy doesn't hire a ragebait officer

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
