I switched to Tidal last year and do not regret it for a second. Its recommendation algorithm actually suggests new music, its daily playlists are better, its daily discover playlist is fantastic, its curated playlists are great. And it doesn't run recruitment ads for ICE!

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

This is a trifle. It’s based on a 26 year old Friends episode where someone ruins a dessert. Audrey made it for Canadian Thanksgiving. Chocolate Rice Krispies, green M&Ms, whipped cream. It’s ridiculous. I ate three servings.

It might seem like a bit much, but you can peg a fly from three feet away. It’s fantastic and runs on table salt.

Buddy, it’s salt in a bucket. That’s as far from cringe as you can get. Toss ‘er in your kitchen and boom, Maritimes on tap. For realz. Drip drip rizz 67.

We’re uniquely qualified to note that Amanda is correct. In fact, depending on the tides the water in the Harbour has more salt in it than the beaches all along the north shore of the province.

Yall.

I'm not a fan of the new branding for our Black Garlic fleur de sel. Umami Tides just ain't it.

As we enter our tenth year of Tidal Salt, I want to rebrand it in honour of the place where we got our start, Dartmouth. Tell me which of the following you prefer:

Canva can do that. Exiftool can also add a metadata watermark.

Firefighters and other first responders are working hard all across Canada to keep us safe.

But ca we take a moment and just make sure to note that they kicked the absolute shit out of that fire in Bayers Lake yesterday?

That fire fucked around and found. out.
