Power Grab: Tim Houston is dismantling democracy in the birthplace of responsible government www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file... Morning File by me

I'm always saying this, but not as succinctly.

Well, fuck.

Apropos of nothing, it feels like it's time for my periodic re-reading of Doomsday Morning.

I don't think I regret anything I ever did while blackout drunk, but I regret doing it while I was blackout drunk. It would have been cool to remember how I made those friends.

Well, that's my US citizenship renounced. Once you actually get in for the appointment they've streamlined the process. You basically just say, "Trump," at the bulletproof window, and the clerk nods as sympathetically as he's legally allowed to. It's still a four digit "administrative" fee, though.

My new essay comic, Antisemitism in a Time of Genocide, is now up at Le Monde Diplomatique in France. I’ll thread the 8 panels in English here, and link to the French at the end.

Is there a way to turn off notifications for likes? (On the web interface, I don't do apps.)

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical

I don't know what I expected when I bought chocolate covered chickpeas, but for some reason it wasn't... Well, exactly what you'd expect if someone said they made chocolate covered chickpeas.

@timbousquet.bsky.social Have you heard anything about the student occupation of the Dalhousie admin building? It seems strange that there hasn't been a peep in the news about it even locally.

Repost your profile pic, if you wish. Mine is this painting @liamleroux42.bsky.social did for me, the album cover for the soundtrack of a lost movie I made up, cropped in to focus on the mammoth. (There are a few CD copies floating around, but they sadly predate this wonderful art.)

Apparently the waits for a consular appointment to renounce US citizenship in Canada are so long, I'm being offered the option of flying to Argentina to do it there if I'm in a hurry.

Province screwed up a culvert in my parents' road (left sharp metal sticking up from the road) then cut their phone/internet line digging up the culvert to replace it, evidently so badly that Bell needs them to dig up the culvert AGAIN to fix it - and the road crew's kept them waiting almost a week.
