Hi, I'm Walt aka Sid, longtime contributor to the #scifi & #fandom convention community in Canada.

I'm currently working on a project called redflagsinfandom.com seeking to increase safety of person & pocketbook.

Some pics of just a few things I've done throughout the years.

Dear America,

If you are outraged by ICE agents handcuffing children (among other human rights violations), you should be out protesting. What Donald Trump and his henchmen are doing is not normal. Fight to save your democracy while you still can.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

If the internet collapses because of regulation, I'm partially blaming the "HoRnY = bAd" crowd.
It was never about porn or "protecting children." It was always, ALWAYS about control.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.
Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs
Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

The White House can go pound sand. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to those possessing courage, empathy, and dignity, none of which Donald Trump possesses.

Turn a farm into parking lots & loading docks?
• Sure, happens all the time — the amount of arable land in Ontario is reduced by 319 acres *every day.*

Turn a parking lot into a farm?
• That never happens. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Ontario: it's big, but the part that grows crops? Small.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
