I think in some ways the last 3 home games have been some of the best performances the Wanderers have had. If they didn’t have about 10 minutes per game of absolute shambles they might not have lost 2 of them.

The first time I've (knowingly) been blocked on bluesky was when I told someone that this was fake rage-bait and that they should stop feeding the trolls. I feel like I deserve a treat!

The car needs an oil change HRM: what if we just ignore it until the engine seizes and needs an expensive replacement. HRM: We're SOOOOOO!!!!!! good at saving you money also HRM: umm... why has the engine seized????? This is going to be expensive to fix.

I'm mostly agnostic about the Forum but "we're going to build >5000 homes immediately next to this space, which is why it can't be a public space' is insane to me.

What's a more engaging way of saying this is a really good thing for car and truck drivers? Like, that's 18 kilometres of cars you didn't have to sit behind on your Tuesday commute?

Some people don't see the nuance between agreeing with something a bad person has said and giving kudos. A murderer tells you Mondays are hard? Yeah sure, he's on to something. But you don't 'have to give it to him'.

I'm not great at math, so please chime in if this is way off base: For $100m the city gives the Wanderers a 99 year lease which is essentially leasing the property at $1.01m/year. Per Josh’s story in May, the grounds are currently leased to the Wanderers and Tides for a total of $780k/year...

I once applied for a job and was asked the question: What do you think the future of social media is? Applying to be a graphic designer, I wasn’t really expecting it and gave a silly answer about combining video and motion graphics. I’ve thought about it ever since.

I'm old enough to remember when it was considered uncool to outsource creative labour to a region where the going rate was next to nothing and then not acknowledge those contributions in any way. This is a post about AI.

I’m really starting to believe that making bike signals green like car traffic signals, and not white like pedestrian signals, was a big mistake. More than once a week I’ll see a car stopped at Almon and Agricola when the green bike light comes on and they drive through the intersection.

Tavio's scoring a goal every 55 minutes, which is an absolutely unreal pace. Almost 3 times as fast as the next best (133 minutes). He's also scoring more than half of his shots: 5 goals, 2 misses, 2 saved. These are the kind of useless stats that make me think maybe we can turn the season around!

Art and culture are beyond “renewable” resources—the more you ‘extract’ , the more there is. We’re here to open this leadership’s eyes to that. Cuts will do nothing but harm the whole province.

Facebook comments can be such a rollercoaster. This person switches from arguing that apartments aren't homes, to saying that she might someday have to move to one (by her logic, making her homeless), to hoping more apartments will be built soon—all in one sentence.
A response to a comment on Facebook, reading: Disagree, my home is MY home, an apartment building is technically public housing...I like a private home but someday I may have to go to an apartment,I wish there were more apartments for the people living on the streets in the freezing cold of winter and the sweltering heat of summer , ones that are not classed as "affordable" because they are not but ones that low income families can actually afford.

This doesn’t exempt you from trying, though. Like, if you were turning across a bike lane and cut me off—staring and rolling your eyes as I stand beside your car isn’t the move.

There’s no good way to apologize when you make a mistake while driving. I just came too close to a pedestrian and he was (rightly) very angry. He feels shitty, I feel shitty. Driving sucks.

Almon street bike signals continue to spike my blood pressure: Twice in the past week a pickup truck has been stopped at a red, seen a light (shaped like a bicycle) turn green and driven through the intersection.

Wtf, not 6 hours after terrible customer service. @communauto.bsky.social called the driver to move the car, which he did, but their end of the conversation never even hinted at an apology.

I wish Communauto didn’t have a monopoly in Halifax. I like car sharing as a service, but when it fails and then they charge you money for it not working it really feels like a kick in the teeth.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

‘Transgender’ putting  describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

I find the CPL's relationship to Canada incredibly interesting. - The most obvious and least interesting is Canadian born-and-raised commentators and fans occasionally (but not always) referring to soccer as football, I assume to sound more European and therefore knowledgable.

I wish people would stop referring to the work of their colleagues as 'magic'. "Hey, can you work your magic on this?" "I'm going to send you a file—if you could just do your magic that'd be fantastic" Labour. Work. Expertise. Research. Training. None of these are cheap, easy, or 'magic'.
