Halifax, I don't know if you get Environment Canada alerts but if you have trouble breathing today is not your day. Today winds are coming from the west, which blows the Annapolis Valley wildfire smoke directly at us. The wind will shift direction tonight and blow the smoke south-west.

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

With all sincerity, Elections Canada is a national treasure. - Voting typically takes less than 15 minutes - We make it easy for citizens to vote, without cumbersome registration hurdles - We have every reason to trust that ballots will be counted fairly, and results reported swiftly

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Pleased to report that it is possible to access the drive-through immunization clinic at Dartmouth General on a bicycle. 💉🚲 Slightly baffled that that was the closest place I could book a COVID shot this time around, given that I live in downtown Halifax, near any number of pharmacies. 🤷🏼

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler #skybrary #skybrarians #booksky

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Hi! I just sent out the first batch of "Cat Constellation Chart" prints, so I thought I'd share this little bb again, feat. nine cat characters from the #ALittleToTheLeft Seeing Stars DLC. Limited edition of 100, grab em while you can! #letterpress #cats #catart #spacecats #videogameart

A photo of a letterpress print, showing illustrations of 9 cat characters arranged around a central moon printed in teal, on cream paper. Over top of the teal, there are constellation star charts printed over each cat, with their constellation names printed next to each. The background of the print is filled with stars, galaxies, comets etc. At the bottom middle text is printed that reads "A Little to the Left" Cat Constellation Chart. The print is signed in the bottom right corner, and numbered in the bottom left, reading 10/100.

Key art for the video game A Little to the Left, showing an illustrated cosmic scene, with large gas clouds forming the shapes of four cats in various poses. Stars, galaxies, black holes, comets and nebulae fill the the space, and many objects float in the void, including a red cassette tape, a small potted cactus, ceramic bell, folding pocket knife, a small key, coffee mug and more. A large planed in the background, upon closer inspection is a giant ball of red yarn, with a loose strand flowing into space. In the centre of the image is the text "A Little to the Left" and underneath it in smaller text "Seeing Stars"
