All humans are comprised of collections of sex characteristics that TEND to group together in 2 different ways that are erroneously referred to by the ignorant as just "sex"
"Appreciate their sex," in addition to being willfully condescending and cruel, is a nonsense statement
Not that it matters
"Houston told reporters the government must also turn to the "revenue side of the equation," working to improve the economy through opportunities in natural gas and oil, natural resources and defence."
Ok, so arts, culture, heritage cuts are revenue generators now, not a decade down the road.
. @edzitron.com I don't think that it's getting enough air that the girls school in Iran was very likely targeted by AI directed weaponry
If I donโt print this anywhere, Iโll scream, and this is the most safe space. I am a music teacher in NS public school, the last time I received ANY funding from the government was 2016. I fund raise every cent. I get grants (gone). My kidโs summer job (gone), my kids internship(gone).
Don't be kink shaming.

Take your pick, there are so many to choose from:

by @hcrichardson.bsky.social โEisenhower recognized that economically dispossessed people were natural targets for political and religious extremists. They could easily be manipulated to back any causeโthat promised to resurrect a world in which they had enjoyed prosperity and cultural significanceโ
As Liberal governments go, very disappointing, but still better than the Conservatives. Current libs are too far to the right, but the cons have also moved right. If cons had a red tory leader, things might be different.
So, this is a horrible situation, and I'm more concerned about people than pets, but good to see cat feeding stations. Not mentioned in the article is that the food is dispensed when cans and bottles turned in for recycling. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

WHO warns escalating Middle East conflict is worsening:
> 1,300 deaths and 9,000 injuries in Iran, 570 deaths and 1,400 injuries in Lebanon, 15 deaths and > 2,100 injuries in Israel.
+ attacks on health facilities, displacement, shortages of med supplies, disrupted aid deliveries.
Makes sense, but stock markets themselves are essentially betting for rich folks.
I wouldn't expect an honest answer. Probable response is that economic conditions and external factors changed circumstances in a way that no one could have predicted. Also, HST drop boosted economy, but arts and culture revealed to be a drag, so arts cuts unrelated to tax cuts.
When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.
Yet more evidence that it's a cult.

Floresheim hasn't been a recognizable name in shoes since 1986 and I am 99% sure it is now a house brand at JC Penney, which perfectly captures the headspace of someone who is rich, cheap, and whose worldview hasn't materially changed since the last Reagan Administration
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

A Golf club firm owned by Trumpโs sons is merging with a drone manufacturer.
But nothing to see here, right? Cause a golf club manufacturing company and drone manufacturer with Israeli ties merger is perfectly fucking normal.

This should be a campaign ad.
leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

Map of Canada with the province of Nova Scotia highlighted. Text that reads "Recent data shows 66% of Nova Scotia students and their families have difficulty paying tuition fees. Canadian average: 48%"
Nova Scotia is planning millions of dollars in cuts that would be devastating to students.
48% of Canadian students report struggling with the cost of tuition. In Nova Scotia, that jumps to 66%.
Federal grants are also on the chopping block.
Student support should be increasing, not decreasing.
Lucifer has a point
Drivers pay little attention to turn restrictions. There's no left turn from Albemarle to Cogswell (terrible visibility), but I see drivers make that turn almost every day. Mind you, I've only seen one crash there. Also, no right on red at Cogswell/ Brunswick often ignored, including by bus drivers.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. Itโs the root of all evil in Washington.
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.
