Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Complex industrial firefighting at Hfx Grain Elevator. The fire is located about 135 feet above ground within the facility’s dust management system, presenting significant access and tactical considerations. Crew are operating deliberately and aggressively, supported by aerial and drone operations.

The Devils is most effective as a broad allegory of power and politics, and the hypocrisy in both institutions when people (mostly men) choose how to interpret (or deny) the doctrine. Carsten's review: buff.ly/G82mSSK #moviereview #lastday #incinemas #moviesky @flawintheiris.bsky.social

Still can't get over how cool this is. The Donaldson Futuro House in Idyllwild, California, USA, is probably the best Futuro out there, as well as a listed property, and up for sale. That interior is so clever and stylish, as well as practical. bit.ly/4sjyOy0

Alberta has sent a message to the world that Canada will not be broken. Canada will not be divided. It wasn't even close. But we need answers as to who in the State Department and the US Embassy in Canada were involved in the meetings to try and break up this beautiful land.

Someone is selling the only LP I appear on, by my junior/senior high school jazz band, on Facebook Marketplace for $500. Marked down from $1,000! Who knew I was a collector's item? #HaliSky

Swap out Moscow Ring Road for Bedford Highway, and you've pretty much got my dream from overnight.

This is indefensible behaviour from Everwind. The research done by this reddit poster on the issue is worth your time. The link to the thread www.reddit.com/r/halifax/co... - The Halifax Examiner is one of the last true resources we have for journalism in Nova Scotia. Disgusting.

Hey #HaliSky folks, this is playing at #Cineplex Park Lane cinemas RIGHT NOW. An incredible film, now restored and uncut; one of those cinematic opportunities that only comes around every once in a while. And it won't be here long, so catch this masterpiece while you can. #TheDevils #HalifaxFilm

Last night I put together some ramblings on THE DEVILS & how it hit me in ways I expected & how it hit me in ways I didn’t expect at all. from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io/i-was-never-... This is open to both free & paid subscribers - shares appreciated! 🖤

I think Firefox's constant updating has pushed it past the enshittification mark, at least for my aging PC.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Can't wait to find out what happens to the first driver who tries this stunt on a rainy day.

Banning journalists and media outlets you don’t like is straight out of MAGA’s playbook. And any politicians there to support EverWind who didn’t object to this or walk out are complicit.

Update: Both Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson were escorted out of the EverWind press conference by security. Both are older women who present no physical threat to anyone. Both behave as reporters do. But we (the Halifax Examiner) write critically about EverWind.

This is NOT normal. I cannot think of anything like it in the 40 years I reported. (Including 30 covering NS politics). No Nova Scotia should be ok with this.
