Ahhhh, memories! I remember standing in my living room listening to that wind and watching the window glass flex a full six inches off center while I wondered if I should try to brace it with cardboard or just crawl under the covers and wait for the dawn.

There's a lot of layers to this. Franklin is Canadian for starters. The TV show's theme song was written by Bruce Cockburn who also wrote "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" and extending that connection leads to Hegseth as the lyrically mentioned son of a bitch who'd die if Franklin had a rocket launcher.

That picture is from Snowmageddon in 2020. 100cm of snow in 24 hours, 150KpH winds, and drifts 15 feet high. The worst winter storm in St. John's history. Here's some more pictures from my walk to work the morning after the storm finally broke.

One of the weirdest aspects of being a student these days is the disbelief people show when you tell them you categorically refuse to use AI. I was a student for years before it was an option to have a busted terminator with the same water usage as Honduras lie to me and certainly don't need it now

At this point I'm pretty sure hell's blown their budget building new circles cause these bastards keep punching
through the floor

To be fair, the clown he wants to put in power to run it as a puppet petrostate just won the Nobel Peace Prize so the bar's already officially underground.

This is a great thread. So much of Canada's financescape on every level seems to have lost the plot and forgotten that profits should serve people and not vice versa. A reminder of the importance of balance is timely and essential.

Bud, at this point I'm just about to grab a Ouiji board and tell Jack to suit up. A hundred percent dead he's still sixty percent better than anything else on offer. If it's between Pipelines McPherson and Single Issue Santa Clause we could do worse than a ghost.

I'm involved with several of the conservation groups in Nova Scotia. I've been hearing a lot of people say things like this. Would it be helpful if I start forwarding our calls to action to Bluesky?

One of the organizations involved with this was Save Our Old Forests (SOOF). Our organizer, Nina Newington, spoke at the event. We've now camped nearly 500 nights since 2019 at all times of the year along logging roads to protect old growth in Annapolis County and catalogue endangered lichens.

"I'm going to be a lawyer. What do I need to learn how to research books for?"

- The 3rd year pre-law student in the library skills course I TA'd in 2020.

I imagine he's sending a lot of people to prison now. Mostly ones he's supposed to be defending. Twenty to life for jaywalking.

I'd like to think that was the plan from both Davies and May. Though it remains to be seen if Carney will see it that way. They did the right things, but anyone left of center gets to spend yet another night reflecting on how being the adults in the room tends to feel like getting totally screwed.

Oddly Don Davies is right on this one.

“We have decided to put the interests of our country first — to vote against the budget but to help prevent an election.”

This budget missed nearly every mark, but a winter election would benefit nobody. Firing a warning shot over Carney was the only move.

Setting the precedent that international law should be directed by vibes based self evaluation seems like it should be disqualifying for a diplomat.
