Video: Brian Wilson Is A.L.I.V.E. (2010) with producers Jason Levangie, Marc Tetreault + director Noah Pink. It won the Prism Prize in 2013. It involved a mini biopic of Beach Boys lead songwriter Brian Wilson which lead to Brian Wilson promoting the video on Twitter in September 2012. (Wikipedia)

It’s good to know Brian Wilson saw and heard this tribute to him and his music.

From an article about these photos by Alejandro Cartagena:
“The artist, who works and lives in Monterrey, Mexico… has been researching and imaging urban sprawl and its impact for the last decade in photographs that mix a luscious kind of composed beauty with deep human interest.”
A short film about an artist whose beautiful detailed work I have admired since I was a kid. I first learned about how wood engraving works by seeing his working process. I was impressed by the detail and interested to find out about another method of printmaking.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.
I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA.

Trump claims DOGE found $8M in wasted spending on "making mice transgender."
It was actually $8M for transgenic mice, used to study gene function or generate models to help cure genetic disease in humans.🤦♂️
Just 1 of Trump's many lies I debunk in my fact check:

“Although Curnoe made other versions of this map, this is the one that has been most exhibited, especially as an example of Conceptual art.”
(4/5)
“Sheila Curnoe recalls her husband coming into their kitchen after he had successfully connected Mexico to the Canadian border: “He was so pleased with himself. He was laughing about it. It was meant to be funny and not to be taken so seriously.” (3/5)

Greg Curnoe, America, 1989, lithograph
“In redrawing the map of North America, Curnoe may well have been aware of the 1929 Surrealist map of the world by an anonymous artist who redrew the continents, eliminating the United States completely.” (1/5)

On the way back from a Saturday afternoon hike in the woods. Fresh tracks in powder snow. The dog was happily running + frolicking, and rolling and sliding in the snow. Loved the cold temperatures and sun, then clear sky with lots of stars later on

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
James Baldwin
When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Good to see this story making the rounds again, but definitely not good to have the catalyst for it.
