Hey Toronto folks: do you have a favourite restaurant that needs some love or a little spruce up?

I'm assisting on a project that helps struggling eateries (sorry, super vague at the moment) and I need recommendations for businesses to reach out to.

If you are on makerworld, please go boost this model just to give our comrade what he deserves. Even if you're not printing whistles.

I've boosted it all I can.
I just want everyone to know that the creator of one of our favorite whistles (the micro bitonal) is a very nice man in Italy who has been messaging me asking if there are things he can tweak in the next version he is designing mostly to help us mass produce these more efficiently to fight ICE.

I've seen some discourse about how it seems like everyone in the elite circles knew about Epstein. I'm reminded of the piece of information about the Tuskegee Syphillis Study that I end classes with: Congress had hearings about the study and re-confirmed funding Every. Year. For. Forty. Years.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

A GOOD THING!!! Look!!
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

I'm spending a lot of time editing a documentary about the month I spent in the woods with 30 strangers via Outward Bound and it is the best escape I can imagine.

It will be too long and I don't care.
