Got to spend quality time with @nestruck.bsky.social while he’s visiting Halifax tonight. Cathartic to see family after I missed our late cousin Stephen’s services. Awesome double header evening of a 22 Mins taping + first half of the Jays’ WS Game 3 at Durty Nelly’s together. 💙

Colossal squid filmed in its natural habitat for the first time The enigmatic predator, the heaviest known invertebrate, had never been seen alive in deep water

Never before seen alive, a legend… the colossal squid! A mere bébé ( à la Moira Rose) but the coolest member of my chosen family

Woohoo! #halifax

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Maps: Where Trump Voter Jobs Will Be Hit by Tariffs Nearly 8 million Americans work in industries targeted by the levies and the majority are Trump voters, a New York Times analysis shows

News for any staunch MAGA hatters: your president is undermining you

Why did that make me cry, wtf 😖

Elections Ontario currently has voter turnout at 45.40% - so the second lowest voter turnout in an Ontario provincial election. (The lowest was 2022.)

I really wish I knew whether it would be best to consolidate my federal vote under the Libs or NDP locally… seems we should be comparing notes ahead of that fateful day

The flu shot has saved me from getting the flu twice this year - probably every year. No other way to explain how others in my household caught it but not me! Always proud to get the shot as my mother worked on the team that developed a Canadian version in the 1990s #DrNestruck #famousNestrucks

I had the same impression!

You are just the biggest ray of sunshine tonight - metaphorical of course, cus it’s night time - but thank you for the back to back good news posts in my feed! (Social media survey & this).

Submitted!

Tell HRM to ditch X and join us on Bsky! While you’re at it, tell them to start using their own website with a scrolling marquee to post snow plan, parking bans and detour information 😉 #protectourelections

Every day I thank my luckiest goddamn stars that the Canadian election wasn't held before the US election.

Trump winning, and the threats to our sovereignty, were a massive wake up call for Canadians. Some folks are still stuck in the fascist-disinformation bubble, but the rest of us are ACTIVATED.

To my fellow empaths, over-thinkers, and introverts:

I’m using an AI LLM for the 1st time (January-now) and I’ve used it for a range of things, incl. research for my job. As someone with grad edu, I find the errors aren’t inherently obvious to avg ppl; u have to still dbl check the sources match the info. But it’s been more amazing than I thought!!

If you thought it wasn’t possible—well, here we are. Musk pulled $80 million in funding authorized by Congress straight from NYC’s bank account. The federal government took the funds and called it a “clawback” of taxpayer money. A lot of others would simply call it stealing.

So, is it safe to say @bsky.app is the future of social media yet? Cus I’ve been here for ~3 weeks, my mental health rebounded 5x from constructive discussion as a viable alternative to FB/X, and… well frankly, I had a dream last week that @mcuban.bsky.social and I were hanging out. 🤭

My patriotism is higher than in many recent years. In addition to these things, when I see our flag I’m also reminded that #everychildmatters. We must move forward, together.

Please vote in the upcoming election for a united 🇨🇦 with due consideration for what’s happening to our ex-besties next door.

I’m talking about the stakes of our election, 1933 events, and of willfull ignorance with those who will listen, I’m reading curated news (here, subbed to Wired & NYT), watching documentaries, and distracting myself with Stardew Valley. Oh, and drinking more often - do not recommend that one

Ugh, I’ve been staying logged out of Facebook as much as poss for this reason.

I’m similarly irked by this simplistic thought process, because we would never ‘become’ a state, but if that wasn’t assanine in and of itself, we’d be more like 51st through 63rd.
