Hey @globalnews.ca, hire me instead! Unlike Ben, I don't even pretend to be a journalist, so when I post clips from Left 4 Dead and fear-monger about the zombie apocalypse starting, at least your channel won't get blamed for misinformation (oh and also I'm not a zionist asshole, that too)

A pedestrianised street with a branch of popular heated foodlike product purveyor Greggs, and a dragon.

Sometimes when I am having difficulty with the universe I remember that in Dundee there is a dragon guarding a branch of Greggs, and this cheers me up.

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

The perfect juxtaposition of posts! @alexvont.bsky.social

Fun fact: bridge toll removal and 1% HST reduction cost us appx $300 million.

All of the devastating cuts in the current budget?

$300 million.

Is your 1% HST cut worth the loss of tourism, arts & culture, educational quality and wildlife conservation in NS?

I would happily pay one more percentage point on the HST, for bridge tolls, and for parking to help fund grants, museums, bus passes for students, and more #taxmedaddy.

if they were courageous they would quit. there's nothing brave about killing kids at the whim of an irrational old pedophile

Carney's statement with the middle paras blacked out, so it reads "The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow advice and take all necessary precautions. The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

He could've just done this, a de minimus statement that does not include the word "supports"

Norman MacCaig February – not everywhere Such days, when trees run downwind, their arms stretched before them. Such days, when the sun’s in a drawer and the drawer locked. When the meadow is dead, is a carpet, thin and shabby, with no pattern and at bus stops people retract into collars their faces like fists. – And when, in a firelit room, a mother looks at her four seasons, at her little boy, in the centre of everything, with still pools of shadows and a fire throwing flowers.

Such days, when trees run downwind,
their arms stretched before them.

Such days, when the sun’s in a drawer
and the drawer locked…

Very crash-y

It's increasingly obvious that those with the power to do so just want to blow it all up, then burn down what's left.

It's way past simple looting and wealth extraction; we've gone right to nihilism and collective suicide.

Daniel Perry Sampson was the last man hanged in Halifax. Recently, evidence has been discovered that Sampson was FRAMED. A legal battle is underway to clear his name. You can learn more and contribute here:

The balls outside Orkney Library & Archive. The sky is very blue and the sun is shining on the building.

It's a bright, sunny, spring-like Saturday morning in #Orkney and the sun is shining on our balls. 🌞

How's your day going?

A challenging climb on a bike, but what a wild decent down the other side.

Highly recommend all Nova Scotians read this article by @timbousquet.bsky.social @halifaxexaminer.ca for a clear-eyed analysis of what’s happening here. Link in next post.

YOU WAKE UP COLD IN YOUR $3000/MONTH BACHELOR APARTMENT. IT'S LIGHTLY RAINING SO YOUR POWER IS OUT. YOU'RE SICK BUT WILL NEVER HAVE A FAMILY DOCTOR. YOU SKIP BREAKFAST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES. YOU PUT HIKING BOOTS ON SO YOU DON'T FALL ON THE UNPAVED SIDEWALKS. YOU MOVE PAST THE 30 MINUTE WAIT FOR THE 15 MINUTE BUS AS STUDENTS WALK BY WHO CAN NO LONGER TAKE IT. IN FRONT OF THE CLOSED MUSEUM IS A PARKED CAR DESTROYED BY A POTHOLE. A TENT CITY WHERE UNHOUSED PEOPLE ARE GETTING READY FOR WORK IS BEING HARASSED BY POLICE. YOU ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL AND PREPARE FOR YOUR 27 HOUR WAIT, THINKING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS YOU MISS IN HALIFAX.

i’m tired, boss

Houston just wants to keep telling people to "pick themselves up by their bootstraps" or "work harder" to get "real jobs," which is just a way to keep people in line to work to help the rich get richer.

#hfxws Be careful out there this morning #HaliSky. The sidewalks are quite icy and @hfxgov.bsky.social crews haven’t treated them yet (at least not on our Northend priority one street.)

Halifax noise reshared his video diary lol

The Houston gov’t lost more than $300 million in revenue annually by cutting bridge tolls and 1% from HST. They also spent more than $6 billion outside of budget processes over the last few years. Now they cut two of our biggest economic sectors (tourism and arts and culture) to deal with deficit?

All of this

Discussing Scots fans wearing kilts at the world cup, a BBC newsreader just referred to the sporran as a "Highland pouch". FFs, kilt wearers are not tartan marsupials, you culturally ignorant shagwit.
