I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean
"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

This is so lucid and helpful from @thomaszimmer.bsky.social. The situation is awful and could get a lot worse obviously but also: the country is vast, the authoritarianism is unpopular, and nothing will be settled anytime soon. So power on.

I usually avoid these, but I thought this might be funny. "Pick up the nearest book. Open to page 42 and post your second sentence. Add #page42 and include this rule as a reply. Don't look for your favorite book. Find the nearest book."
Page 42 of a book. The second sentence is: Unfortunately, because of the chaos in the last hours of the Unity, these pods were scattered at random on Planet's surface.The original game manual for the Mac version of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, a classic turn-based strategy video game.
