been thinking about this a lot too! the idea of "tinkering" is what grounds my book and I position it as a kind of play.
ICYMI: I put out a story about the data centre industry in Ontario with @rorywh.bsky.social last week πβπ Regulations are being drafted *now* to establish how data centres are approved, determining the future of Ontarioβs energy demand, following the passage of Bill 40.
I Like Movies was so great, I can't wait to see this one
there's only one way to find out
in retrospect the song still slaps musically but lyrically is deeply cruel

i really like when you rhymed hole with hole
AND, in the highlighted section from the above screenshot, the article itself notes sanctions have made normal banking with iran nearly impossible, pushing diaspora communities toward informal financial channels.
article excerpt: "Over the last year and a half, more than $200 million worth of digital currencies has moved through a virtual wallet used by Million Exchange. In two of those transactions last year, the wallet received more than $588,000 worth of crypto from an account allegedly tied to Iranβs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Canada has designated as a terrorist organization. Along Yonge Street, from North York up into Richmond Hill, more than 30 other unauthorized crypto shops have been openly clamouring for crypto customers and blatantly flouting Canadian laws, the Star has found. Crypto wallets used to track transactions Money services have proliferated in Persian community hubs on Yonge since the Canadian governmentβs prohibitions and banking policies targeting the Iranian regime made direct money transfers to that country nearly impossible. With few other options, members of Torontoβs Iranian diaspora have turned to currency exchanges, money transfer shops and, more recently, crypto exchanges to send money to loved ones back home."
the article highlights two transactions, which is hardly a pattern or representative of some network. it also doesn't explain how many steps exist between these wallets and the wallet used by the toronto-based exchanges. crypto transactions often pass through many intermediaries!
article excerpt: "Using blockchain analysis software from Amsterdam-based firm Crystal Intelligence, the Star tracked crypto that moved, via two transactions in February 2025, into the Million Exchange-associated wallet from an account with alleged links to terrorist financing. Israelβs National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing seized that account in September, saying the wallet was connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Before the seizure, the wallet had received the equivalent of nearly $8 million in October and November 2024 from another wallet address that the U.S. alleged was owned by Saβid Ahmad Muhammad Al-Jamal, financier of the Houthis, an Iran-backed armed group operating in Yemen. In December 2024, the U.S. government sanctioned the wallet allegedly tied to Al-Jamal."
the three primary sources for the intelligence in the crypto investigation are two countries currently engaged in an all out assault on iran, plus a blockchain analytics firm that SELLS COMPLIANCE TOOLS to governments and exchanges.
this feels like "convenience stores in canada are a part of a vast network of chinese intelligence" all over again. and i'm saying this as someone who thinks cryptocurrency is not regulated nearly enough.
A country facing multiple credible threats to its sovereignty but that also cares this little about its own history isn't long for this world.
holy shit
Here's me filming NIN on-stage in 2013 for a realtime 3D video effect we created for the song "Satellite" that turned my camera feed into frenetic wireframes and glitchy low-polygon shapes in front of and behind the band.

Bombing oil refineries and desalination plants isnβt what you do when you want to βliberateβ a country.
Theyβre what you do when you want to destroy it.
there is no opposition party in the U.S.
I had no idea! I used to live on Stafford
The catastrophic impact to local health where the air is poisoned, as well as to our global ecosystem as they literally set the planet on fire and fill the atmosphere with pollutants
yeah that perspective feels so counter to what's actually needed in this moment. it is the onus of a candidate to engage their constituency rather than expect their votes are owed to them. trotting out the Cheneys, it was clear Kamala wasn't interested in actually doing that.
i don't think it has anything to do with being smart, i think it has everything to do with wanting to do whatever they want with impunity
Hopefully i get some good coverage and then you can say: "my photos have appeared in... "
Gonna be a published photographer, thanks to @therewasnosound.bsky.social writing a book
