Picked up this 2013 slice of nostalgia. Used to love reading Corey Mintz's "Fed" column in the Toronto Star. And bonus, illustrations by Steve Murray aka prolific comic book writer and artist Chip Zdarsky. A little time capsule of nostalgia and discovering favourites in newspapers.

Same. Think it was TURF or Field Trip in Toronto ages ago but yeah, dancing in a crowd in the peak of summer is such a state of good.

The first time you're in a crowd and hear Halluci Nation? It's like a paradigm shift.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. ASCII porn in IRC Channels. I watched hamsters dancing to looping MIDI after eons loading on 14.4k modems. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner
Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

I am fully ready for a healthy Jay White to come back, rally the Bullet Club Gold and go to War with The Dogs.
Or join forces and take a run at DCF and Death Riders.

So the F-15 is the most successful combat aircraft in modern history. 104 air combat engagements with enemy aircraft. 104 victories. Zero losses. A perfect record.
Only 6 F-15s have been lost to ground based fire in all history. 3 of those 6 were friendly fire under this Operation Epstein Fury.🤡

Goodness you should check out Eddie Izzard's one person "Hamlet", playing all 32 roles. Dramatic to be sure really interesting choices in voice and movement choices to differentiate characters without props or costumes. Found wry comedy in how they did the play on the play. Recommended and on tour.
