Just wrapped my first real #shortfilm! So excited to share 'Eventually' with everyone here. It's been quite the process: my Nikon D3300 the only camera, and my brother the only actor.
It'll be on my YouTube channel once it's out:

Hey! I'm a reporter for The Leaf and Streets. You're correct in thinking that the two papers are run by the same people — and they largely share the same articles. A mix of articles from both papers is published to the site, though they're not categorized once they're online.
Just spent 5 days at #NDP events, and 2 days writing/researching. The story of Avi Lewis's leadership election win is an interesting one, and it's all broken down in this article I wrote:
A couple of my most recent articles:
Fatal fires in Winnipeg ‘predictable and preventable,’ says union president
theleafnews.ca/2026/fatal-f...
Multimodal transportation, explained
theleafnews.ca/2026/multimo...
Stylized text: "The Leaf" on a beige background.
The newspaper I write for has a Bluesky account! Follow them at @theleafnews.ca, especially if you're in #Winnipeg :)
Excellent visualization of the true distance between the Earth and our moon: #artemis #AGoodPlace

Researching this explainer was eye-opening. Worth a read if you're interested in more affordable transportation:

Canada has ties to ICE. Please take 20 seconds to sign this petition to parliament, telling them to cut those ties:

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

#filmsky what do we think of the new The Drama trailer?
1: Wayward, 4.5 stars 2: Rocky, 3 stars 3: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 3.5 stars 4: TRON: Ares, 3 stars

1) Masterful.
2) Good cinematography, but terrible boxing.
3) Visually amazing. Not very interesting otherwise.
4) Exciting, but not creative or thoughtful.

Fight ICE and support Chilli by downloading their app and going to the "Abolish ICE" section:

Or take action in your browser:

This is a testament to censorship in the US, and the government's influence in the media. As a Canadian, it's terrifying to see a country formerly respected as "free" and "democratic," especially as my own government passes increasingly un-democratic bills.
Most of their videos were collaborations with individual activists, so they still exist on those activists' profiles. ...except the videos about ICE, which are gone without a trace.
Today, their Instagram account vanished. To see for yourself, go to instagram.com/chilli.app/.
I'm one of their video editors, and I'm proud to say that many of their (well-researched) videos about ICE were gaining significant traction on Instagram. One was reposted by @markruffalo.bsky.social, and had well over half a million views.
The organization is called Chilli (chilli.club), and they used to focus on climate activism. Recently, they shifted some of their efforts to social issues, like ICE and Iran.
About a week after starting to post anti-ICE videos, the activism organization I work with was banned from Instagram. (thread)

Yes, I can see them!
What should I ask politicians I interview? Comment your ideas.
Community driven journalism holds reporters accountable — while we’re holding power to account.

Anyone know if this stat has a secondary source? I've been doing some digging for a video about Bluesky, and couldn't find this ~30% replicated anywhere. @jay.bsky.team, if you see this, I'd love to do an interview!
Currently, it's just me - Cohen Berg, aka velichor online. I've been writing "we" or "us" when writing from Spira's perspective - in anticipation of working with others - but... maybe I shouldn't be? Learning every day about launching a business, haha.
Any press is good press.
This case is an important one to watch if you care about your own right to know. If the police are free to arrest, detain and block journalists while acting on industry's behalf, our whole information ecosystem gets eroded.
This is a new project of mine. Would really appreciate if you took a minute to check it out, and I'd love to hear what you think :)
