I just joined #Mastodon #MastodonSocial because the whole Twitter platform is visibly eating itself alive. This used to be conversational. It’s been a steady decline—and Musk buying it is just the capitalistic cherry on top. This place is bad for everyone’s mental health.

Re-sharing this from last night as it will be relevant today and beyond. Be sure to unplug appliances and anything that might have been left on before your power went out.

@HRMFireNews Post Juan we had a plethora of calls once power was restored things like ovens, hair dryers and other items were unknowingly left on. Be sure to unplug items with heating elements if the power is restored so your device won’t be able to cause an issue.

Is your internet slow right now? Maybe it's overloaded cell towers, maybe it's trunk line damage in Canso. Regardless, remember the lightweight CBC news site that still loads instantly

A note to Atlantic Canada as you brace for #HurricaneFiona. If you’re low on power/data on your device, visit our text-only website for updates 👉cbc.ca/lite/news?sort… It loads quickly and uses less data. We will also have full live coverage on Radio, TV and the News App

Hey Super Store and Shopper's Drug Mart, why am I being asked to provide money for charity each time I check out? Maybe Mr. Weston, worth an estimated $7.6 billion, could do a bunch to help the poor? Seeing how you're making record profits, it's the least you could do. 🤷

Cheat The Pattern is out today! So much effort, work and learning went into making this album. My goal is to get better and better each time (singing, playing, mixing etc) and I think it paid off. Huge thanks to anyone who listens: linktr.ee/washingmachine…

Hey @HalifaxWater and @SamAustinD5. Any way to set these up around the city during the summer? The few public fountains we have around don’t often work, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been out with fam & had to buy water In bottles despite having bottles we could fill.

The idea that Canada’s “founding fathers” set on a federation system because they wanted to acknowledge the distinct identities of each province is…it’s…just the most absurd revisionist read of history. It’s gob smacking that this person teaches anything.

Hugh Grant tweeted a request at activists protesting outside Westminster to play the Benny Hill theme on their loudspeakers; when they did it became the soundtrack for street interviews with leading Tories trying explain the situation to the British people

Ever have the feeling things are going *too* well, and you don't deserve it, so something bad's gonna happen? Take that, add some synth and 1990s-Halifax-Pop feelings, and you get 'Too Much Good', the first song on our latest album. Listen here. safeword4.bandcamp.com/track/too-much…
