I appreciate that you'll at least be cross-posting here since some of us did abandon the hellscape.

:) That's why I'm always happy to add "could be wrong" to these lovely things. Tolls was silly, but an accounting adjustment is nothing to make hay about.

My reading (could be wrong) is that the long-term care beds - and bridge toll removal - added to the debt, not the current year deficit.

Still have no clue why I would ever want to leave home over the summer months (some rain would be nice once in a while though) #staycation

Cape Sable Island had lots of plovers when we were there yesterday - not a bad trip to make.

Been reading Superbloom by Nicholas Carr and found this section quite insightful ... (1/5)

The mannequin comes to life late at night?? No wonder you're terrified (they look great though :)

100% agree. And there is no other way this could or should have gone - I just hate it when people who do this sort of thing get exactly what they are looking for. Like you said it all just sucks.

My only concern (I’m overly cynical as I get older) is that this was orchestrated to generate a reaction that feeds the victim narrative they thrive on. That said, even the people in my family who would usually be the most ardent supporters of this crap seem to want to distance themselves from this

I kept my account (so I wouldn't be impersonated because of how popular and well-known I am ;)), but deleted all my past posts and unfollowed everyone. Haven't peeked at the site in months.

Gear Exchange | Municipality of The District of Chester, Nova Scotia Unclutter your gear closets and help someone new love the outdoors like you do!

Outdoor bluesky, check out what the Municipality of Chester Recreation Department is doing this spring! They are collecting gently used outdoor gear, to rehome it among local people, groups and schools and by hosting a sale. We are totally going to look at what we have.

Dear US - a proposal:

Replace tariff threats with naming rights for cities & popular landmarks. Everything is on the table.

Los Angeles = Warner Brothers' City of Angels
Austin, Texas = Tesla, TeXas
Grand Canyon = Grand & Toy Canyon

Pay down your debt, replace income taxes ... the sky's the limit

If having two accounts is just as easy, it would be slightly less clutter on most days. I just scroll past if not looking for the details though so I don’t have strong opinions :)

If it weren’t for the fact that gov/institutional accounts are slow to switch to new platforms, I’d never open that other site …

Because of how bad AI is at most of the tasks it's being used for, we've now reached the point where any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from incompetence.

This was basically word-for-word my feedback on every report card I ever received.

You need to not bring up Fleabag ever again - one of my favourites all time and gone far too soon

The recent influx of users here has been so great to see. I've been reducing my usage of the other place for over a yr & now it feels like I could soon disconnect entirely. The only hold outs appear to be official accounts like NSGov, CBC, HFxTransit, etc ... looking forward to that tipping point!
