It's really wholesome to see the youth gathering at Riverdale park to watch the sun set over downtown. Small joys people

In London 2009, Gary Numan made a surprise appearance with NIN to play Numan's "Metal" & "Cars." I filmed it in one unbroken shot from the middle of the stage with a handheld DSLR. Here's the full video, savor the Dudes Rock energy of two legends doing a big mutual respect ("Cars" starts at 6:38):

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Art and artists make cities and neighborhoods great.

This is easily the hardest thing I've ever had to write.

This was an awesome conversation. I thought I knew and appreciated Canadian whisky, but Emily Osborne schooled me. I figured the largest distillers were internationally owned by now, but almost none of serious size that are still independent? Wild. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Unlike the USA, Canada has only one source of federal funding for archives, the DHCP: www.canada.ca/en/library-a... The Carney Liberal government just cut the DHCP permanently. I can't even begin to say how disgusted and angry I am. There is NO OTHER SOURCE of program funding for archives.
