Heads up Dartmouth folks, our neighbour’s cat Egon is missing. He’s very sweet and super friendly—hopefully he’s just out exploring the neighborhood. If you’re in the area, please keep an eye out for him (he will very likely come running right up to you for skritches).

Well let's see here, D has Middle Eastern Food, Indian Food, Chinese Food, Japanese Food, Thai Food and Australia in case I want a steak. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

For the rest of your life, you can only eat food from one of these regions. Which do you choose? For more maps: brilliantmaps.beehiiv.com/s...

In case anyone ever thinks of booking a stay with Sunken Escapes on Sunken Lake in Nova Scotia, I would strongly suggest taking your business elsewhere. Denying a Scout Camp that has been in place for over 100 years the use of a road, what a bunch of scumbags.

Reminder to never travel to the United States ever again for anyone with any functioning brain activity left.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

Never been happier to have left an American owned company (Postmedia) for a locally owned Canadian company (Eastlink) on my own terms back in October. Proud to be a Nova Scotian, proud to be a Canadian. 🍁

Just wanted to shoutout @neilmacfarlane.bsky.social for their updated #HaliSky 2.0 feed, it has a little better UX than the other one out there and I've found lots of local folks worth following on it. Great way to stay updated about the current goings on in #Halifax

They sunk Theodore, that nightmare Oyster mascot is still on the loose and Woody’s appetite for the blood of children grows daily. We need this tank doodad on the streets so when Commissioner Fillmore fires up the Donair Signal, our midnight protector doesn’t roll up in a dented Yaris or some shit.
