sometimes i wonder if Halifax’s council would consider more grandiose and adventurous city-building if our council chambers weren’t made of telemarketer cubicles

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Hey Halifax friends - there's a guy who just showed up to repair the retaining wall outside my house, the one that butts right up to the sidewalk. He claims the city sent him (their responsibility due to sidewalk) and that property owners are rarely told in advance. Have you heard of this?

People think the minions router being baller as a joke. But I have extensively tested it and it is one of the best possible Wifi 6E routers money can buy. Like someone at Illumination Studios was like "idk $80" and the router manufacturer was like gotchu fam.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

We visited Halifax and Dartmouth this summer and were impressed by electric buses, bike shares, and a downtown ferry with bike racks. We also filmed a couple bike lanes and will post the first video on Monday. #BikeHfx #bikesky #Halifax #electricbus

“So we’re trading stickers we can’t see,” Sophie says. “Yes,” Ms. Delgado answers. “And we know we have them because of the list.” “Yes.” “And nobody is in charge of the list.” “That’s correct.” Liam raises his hand. “What if someone takes the stickers?”

"With all due respect" is a devastating Canadian insult. It doesn't even really translate to other languages, though the words may sounds familiar. "Bless you heart" in the US South may be the closest equivalent.
