It is great to see the broad history of college radio and its connection to public media getting robust coverage (even if resulting from defunding and its ripple effects), and I'm happy to contribute to the historical perspective in this piece. www.cjr.org/feature/all-...

“All they’re going to hear is capitulation.”

The Trump administration’s ideological attacks on public media and education converge at university-based radio stations. Some are breaking free.

A couple of years back, the Hookland Tourist Board did a promotion about how many haunted lighthouses the county has. Of course our lighthouses are haunted, so would you be if you'd seen the things they've seen. Not just ghost ships, but the dark mysteries the sea holds. – Ray Salter #VOH

I think perhaps it would be easier if you avoided the situation you mention for your book, unless you are intending a psychological novel, & a fairly warped lot of people.

"The methodological requirement to articulate a text's fundamental contradiction may be seen as a test of the completeness of the analysis: which is why the conventional sociology of literature or culture, which limits itself to the identification of class motifs, is utterly unacceptable." Jameson

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

Not all music releases come out on Fridays. Two new albums out today, both very much worthy of attention. Or at least, they've piqued my interest: Luke Stewart Exposure Quintet, In the Air And On the Ground (RogueArt) and Håvard Wiik Trio, Hic sunt Leones! (Sonic Transmissions Records).

Jazz OTD: Joe Henderson's "So Near, So Far: Musings for Miles" (recorded October 12-14, 1992) is very much one of his late-period Verve records: tasteful perhaps to a fault. But this spare version of a Miles Davis composition is a gem. W/John Scofield (g), Dave Holland (b), Al Foster (d). #jazzsky

Three things that concern me, on a scale that I won’t divulge: 1. the thing where adults won’t watch or read things about “bad” people 2. All the first person genre fiction marketed as adult fiction. sorry. 3. The way that the people who we need to win don’t seem to want to win

To celebrate the @femmediahist.bsky.social "Women of IMAX" issue, scholars Janine Marchessault, Jessica Mulvogue, Allison Whitney + artist Oliver Husain are leading a virtual panel discussion with Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar on October 24. I'm excited to listen in! rmg.on.ca/events/imax-...

TALKS & TOURS

IMAX Panel Discussion with Canadian Astronaut Roberta Bondar
Oct 24, 2026, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Join us for a virtual panel discussion on the history and future of IMAX cinema with special guest, astronaut Dr. Roberta Bondar. Dr Bondar will share her experiences with IMAX filmmaking in space, and how it continues to influence her work as a photographer and environmental advocate. Our panel will consist of scholars Janine Marchessault, Jessica Mulvogue, Allison Whitney, and artist Oliver Husain, whose exhibition I <3 Snail, on display at the gallery, draws on similar themes to the panel.

This event will also mark the publication of a special issue of the journal Feminist Media Histories on “Women of IMAX,” which investigates the transformative work of women as film directors, producers, museum managers, technical writers, and computing experts in the medium’s nearly fifty-year history.

This event is free and open to everyone. If there are ways we can support your participation, please contact Hannah at hkeating@rmg.on.ca.

Registration is required.
