Popped into the Halifax Tool Library and got myself a membership. What a fun space! So many tools! This is great.

Thanks @danp.net for the recommendation! First job, fix my kids’ Nintendo DS 😀

Cabot’s third attempt to co-opt land that’s supposed to be protected is both unwelcome and unwarranted, prompted by nothing but unmitigated gall and greed.

We need the provincial government to have the wisdom and integrity to shut this nonsense down, before this terrible trilogy goes any further.

The company behind the Cabot Links and Cliffs golf courses is taking a third swing at a potential development that would include part of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. That land is protected by law...

It's a Pizza Hut that turned into a Pizza Hut
Three Google Maps pictures of a Pizza Hut. 2012 shows the Pizza Hut happily in business. 2014 shows the Pizza Hut unhappily out of business and the building is for sale. 2018 show the Pizza Hut building has been purchased by a Pizza Hut.

I think about all of the awesome Americans that I respect. Like you, Harmit.
You deserve better than these unscrupulous christofascist dimwits currently running the show.
They will overplay their hand, and they will lose.
Looking forward to toasting their failure with you someday soon!

One of the lessons @timothysnyder.bsky.social discussed in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.
Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

Every bold urban transformation asks a question: what will people remember—the controversy or legacy?

Showing great leadership, Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak bet on the latter, replacing a motorway with a waterway.

Two decades later, absolutely no one regrets the decision or remembers the controversy.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Correlation is easy to show and can be spurious eg per capita margarine consumption correlates with divorces in Maine
Spurious Correlations
Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.
