It was an absolute joy to write about the Texas Archive of the Moving Image, a nonprofit that works tirelessly to preserve Texas' film history by digitizing tapes and film before they degrade. Their website is a treasure trove of cool state history: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Meet the people preserving Texas history, one home movie at a time.

Your home footage may be more special than you think, the nonprofit says.

another thing about Old Bay is that the McCormick company hounded Mr. Brunn for his entire life to buy the recipe off of him and only succeeded after he died

Frank Miranda, a U.S. citizen, says he was abducted by masked plainclothes agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement when he arrived at his Northeast Portland job last Thursday and was kicked to the floor of a van and taken to an ICE detention center.

Day 1 leg of Poverty Tour 2025 is nearly in the books. Not much between Tulsa OK and my camping spot for the night before leaving the OKC area tomorrow.
Oh, fixed that peaky fan shroud that was rubbing in a BK parking lot.
Got more stickers too.

Le mur "légal" de graffitis entre Hochelaga et Ville-Marie a 50 ans! J'ai passé en dessous en vélo un nombre incalculable de fois, le jour et la nuit. C'est un spot unique et un gros atout pour le street art. Pis ça sent bon la peinture :P

One of Montreal’s few legal graffiti walls turns 50

A tunnel in Montreal’s Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough has helped artists practice their craft for 50 years. It’s one of the only few legal graffiti walls left on the island. Artists came togeth...

Mali has announced that US nationals visiting the West African country will be required to post a bond of up to $10,000 (£7,500) for business and tourist visas, in response to a similar requirement the Trump administration has imposed on its citizens:

Mali imposes $10,000 visa bond on US visitors in reciprocal move

The West African state says it has introduced an "identical visa programme" for US travellers.

Got stuck behind this dude today, of course while driving my boss' shiny little Macan.*
Yes, that was the only strap, nothing up front and no, it wasn't tight.

(*OK, better his Macan than my Marea, I'd rather get hit by a loose side by side in a not-irreplaceable vehicle)

the weather is downright miserable right now, if they pull ten people for a naked bike ride in these conditions it will still be an awe-inspiring tribute to this town's fierce fighting spirit

Organizers of the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride plan to hold the protest despite a steady rain forecast, saying:

“It's going to be very very wet. Our numbers will be lower but a slight bit of discomfort for us is nothing.
Emergency World
Naked Bike Ride. Oct 12th. 2:30pm.”

Portland Mercury @portlandmercury.com · 2d

World Naked Bike Ride organizers and other local groups are getting on bikes in the buff to protest the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. The demonstration is planned for Sunday Oct 12 at 2:30 pm; now we know the starting spot is Oregon Convention Center Plaza.

To the point, ICE is now trying to threaten people who videotape them, because they're probably reeling at how easy it is for who, what, when, how to be disseminated among action networks almost instantaenously.

Speaks to things getting fraught, I would guess.

I had to go find the quote from Csere, ”When Don came to Car and Driver, he was so brimming with enthusiasm that we had no choice but to hire him.”

Yeah seeing that Csaba Csere column afterwards was a gut punch. Don was a trailblazer in many ways and absolutely gone way way way too soon.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
