Trying to get better at sharing my work online, so here's a piece I wrote for today's edition of the Medicine Hat News about the alleged electoral list security breach. Elections Alberta says Bill 54 slowed them down. The Justice Ministry disagrees: medicinehatnews.com/news/local-n...

In my first for @outrider.org, I got to chat with director Mick Jackson and actor @reecedinsdale.bsky.social about their iconic nuclear apocalypse film Threads - its legacy and possible remake. This was a big deal for a nuclear history nerd like me. Check it out: outrider.org/nuclear-weap...
