I’m once again fundraising for Coldest Night of the Year, supporting St. Felix Centre, a registered charity organization in downtown Toronto that provides compassionate and safe services to marginalized communities. I’m targeting $250 this year, which hopefully isn't too modest. I plan on bundling up and walking the 5 km on February 28th. Please consider donating at the following link: https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx?registrationID=5564926&langPref=en-CA

AI was a nuclear bomb that we shouldn't have invented, much less given to everybody.

Who can tell me when and where to join the celebration to honour the anniversary 2003 blackout in Toronto this year? Will it be at King and Bathurst like it was last year? That’s a hop, skip and a jump from my place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

The @classicweb@indieweb.social account has been posting more screenshots of 2010s-era websites lately. That has so far been my favourite era of the web.

Did Hot Docs ever consider issuing a community bond to buy their building? Are we going to learn the name of the anonymous Annex resident who did buy the building? Could it be…? #Toronto https://hotdocs.ca/news/Hot-Docs-Sells-Hot-Docs-Ted-Rogers-Cinema

If you want to see clips of the film The Day Iceland Stood Still, about about how women went on a one-day strike and changed the course of history in the island nation and refused to do any work, even (especially!) domestic work, register at the following link to do so: https://inlus.org/the-day-iceland-stood-still-inlus-webinar/

Any chance of a community bond being created so that we, the people of Toronto, can collectively own the building that hosts a unique documentary festival and has year-round documentary programming?

I’m deciding against using AI to generate anything. No, I won't be able to tell if something is generated by AI, but you tell me it is, I won't be interested. I haven't been so far.
