A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

My fav Buzzfeed podcasters (fired) are doing SO WELL now. They aren't going under.

The mass rollout of AI is a gigantic unregulated experiment that has already had many bad effects. In my view, children should not be interacting with AI toys or chatbots at all.

i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price

electricity water clean air knowledge

they should be treated like the common thieves they are

Adrienne Rich:
My heart is moved by all I cannot save:
so much has been destroyed
I have to cast my lot with those
who age after age, perversely,
with no extraordinary power,
reconstitute the world.

And he does this during a time when everyone is cancelling US travel and seeking destinations elsewhere. He needs to go NOW. If he can’t acknowledge growth opportunities in tourism at this moment in history- it’s clear that he’s been bought out by petrocapitalists.

The premier of Nova Scotia’s ENTIRE plan is based on oil and gas extraction. He just said it on air. That is his only plan. Our biggest industry is tourism and he just cut $$ to tourism, arts & conservation (all reasons why people come here).

He really is a very stupid man and he keeps proving it. I'd be embarrassed to work for him.

Particularly stupid because I heard he was out celebrating with his PC pals just before the budget dropped, like they'd done something GOOD. πŸ™ƒ

Did you just hear Tim Houston's comments?
Remember folks, if you oppose the arts cuts, you don't care about young couples who just bought a house.
Man, I thought politicians were supposed to be good at lying.

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

One inmate claimed he heard that. It reads like bad movie dialogue and though he claimed that everyone on the tier heard her say it, nobody else reported hearing it. Also, what guard says in front of inmates that they're going to do a coverup?

I’ve been trying to use my art to be more visible in the world as a trans person, I hope it helps others know they aren’t alone.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Literally every single day this budget becomes worse and worse and it is so exhausting, infuriating and nonsensical. I don’t even know how to handle it anymore. This province is being dismantled a man who doesn’t care about almost anyone in it.

David W Hillier
I don't like posting about politics but I had an interesting conversation last night with Tim Houston.
He was at the Lismore Wintertime Review in Pictou County where I met him many times at local events. He came up to me with his wife and no security at my audio engineering table and we had a great chat. I told him about our local Music Nova Scotia funding being cut and the broader issues in all of the Arts and Culture. He was aware of the issues but totally pissed off about the retaliation being people screaming FU and FB garbage comments. I suggested starting from scratch but he didn't think that would work and suggested most folks should forget about the Government handouts and get out there finding new ways to make money! What do you think?

This coming from a Premier who overspends our tax dollars, then makes us pay for his mistakes, and then even tried to pass legislature to hide his mistakes from the public.

FamilySOS lost 100% of their provincial funding, funding they used for their Family Support Program. 8/10 families using this program were referred by CPS, the NS justice system, the IWK, or SchoolsPlus. This government seems to have no idea what they’re doing.

Were you the one that pointed me to her YouTube video singing "Before I Met You"? That was 2 years ago I think, and I nearly shot out of my seat when I saw her on SNL.

in the store just now and there was a couple looking at those prepped toddler meals and he was saying β€œeverything’s better if you just cook from scratch” and she goes β€œthey don’t look bad and they’d save me so much time” and he just kept repeating β€œit’s better if you cook”

I did not commit a crime

Any business that guts its R&D for short-term cost control loses its long-term relevance.

Screenplay development is the R&D of the movie industry.
