Raw.3 fragments from my free archive, autisticaf.me… I'll tell you more at the break.[music]Welcome to the Treatment FunhouseBeing trapped in the medical model of autism for decades?Imagine an elaborate carnival funhouse… the kind that's a maze. You gotta find your way out. But…This one's got a horror theme.The sign outside… “23 Mirrored Rooms That Will Change Your Life… Forever!”Never saw that before.So you stand in the long wait line. That, naturally, doubles back on itself. Many times.Finally, you belly up to the barker's ticket window. Start to scan the price board.“125 bucks?” You cry out.“You wanna change yer life, kid? Whatchya think it would cost?”So you sigh. You think…You need… different. You fork over.First room. Guy in a jumpsuit, “We gotta strap ya in.” He waves at the chair. “Safety,” he says in a bored voice.So you sit. You really want… well, something… different in your miserable life.Suddenly, he snaps manacles on your wrists. Then behind you, he grabs a blowtorch.You see this scene reflected in all the mirrors. In detail. Enhanced by all your grisly memories.You protest. “What the actual fuck.”“Trust me. This is the latest research. Sure as hell gonna change your life.” That smile. Thin. Cold. Professional. “We got paying customers outside. Lined up. Waiting to get inside. You in… or out.”You reflect on your miserable life. You nod.Then he slowly, methodically works you over. A light burn here. Another there. Starting at your feet. Working upwards.You scream. You cry. You plead. You evade. You bargain. Not a word out of Jumpsuit Guy.And… the only way you can block out the terror reflected in those mirrors?Close your eyes…He finishes. He unshackles you. Helps you up as you tremble. Guides you efficiently to the door.“Next room. Room of Knives. Yer gonna love it,” he laughs.“Just 22 to go.” Leans in… conspiratorially. Whispers in my ear…“Wait til the Meds room. Everybody talks about the Meds Room.”Beat.“If you make it there.”musicInterludeOkay, then. A fun little… metaphor. Now… some dark reality. Family… and professionals… tossed off what I was going through in my late teens as “immaturity.” Something I'd age out of. Totally ignoring all the red danger flags of the coming disaster.Quick side note. Some folks wrote you couldn't read articles. Multiple platform problems… demands you subscribe… pestering friends, even if they used a“free” link.I heard ya . So, I built my free personal archive at autisticaf.me. No paywall. No ads to piss ya off. All free & shareable… on me.You'll find more pieces like this next one… there. — The Autistic Treatment Funhouse, Room of ExamsThey Called It Immaturity. They Missed Everything.Content note: This is the tough one I mentioned. With the brutal flowers.Look, first of all… This is not the beginning of a poor-me story.This is a story of how I found moments of joy… and darkness… in my autistic life. Like Leonard Cohen sang in Suzanne, “among the garbage and the flowers.”But I found dark humor... every where.1972 was a hell of a summer… Room 1I first sought a diagnosis at 19. Following suicide attempt #1.I was driving after dark. Which I wasn't supposed to do… new family rule.See, I'd damaged our car the week before, making a hasty turn into our driveway near Jumping Deer Road in Katonah. Hit the damn stone wall on the way in.This was Westchester County, NY. Local code only allowed a nano break between the 18th-Century stones guarding our yard. Colonial heritage or something… masking slave labor.I'm in the doghouse. With parents already skeptical about letting me go to college. Not “mature” enough.Yet, when the hood and fender are finally fixed? They drop me off on a muggy, hazy June night. Out in the boonies at the old Amawak Service Center on Route 202.“Pick it up and bring it home. No side stops.” Then they instruct me, “Be… careful.” Rolling their collective 4 eyes.I pull out, then wait. The light's gotta change at the 4-lane intersection with Route 35 before I can head home.The light turns green. I go into a weird space in my head. There's… there's some reason I shouldn't turn left… yet… But I watch myself shrug, flick my signal switch, and turn. Right into two lanes of accelerating traffic coming right at me.Don't remember much more. Just the red, don't-turn-yet-idiot arrow. Staring at me brightly… through the windshield that used to be there.I survived. That classic, white 1965 Mustang… didn't. Barely street legal, 271-horse V8 under the hood. Maybe the most collectible American car of all time.A hand-me-down gift to our family from my father's father. Who bragged, “I had to jew the dealer down from 5 grand,” back when he bought it new in '65. A lot of money then.Um, things got tense at home.“You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.”Parental meeting time.“Uh, I don't know what happened.” I couldn't stand these “meetings.” So many in my childhood. This was maybe the worst of all.“I don't know. It… it... just happened.”Making my parents even more furious. These were avid Ayn Rand readers. And my grandfather? He slept beside an orderly nightstand. Mein Kampf tucked tightly in its tidy drawer. My dead father's voice echoes coldly in my mind still. “You are responsible for your own actions. You are the cause here.” But, I stumble on. Making things worse… in my way.“Something's wrong. I don't know what. I'm having horrible visions. Hitting people with the car as I drive by. Hitting their bodies… bones…” I trail off. Into stony silence, I say, “And now something weird happened. I think… I think… maybe I should see a doctor…”Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a Westchester County caseworker. Cuz my parents felt a psychologist or private therapist cost too much.I had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.The intake experience was horrific.I felt… badgered.She called it… delicately. “Maybe the accident looked like an attempt to… maybe… harm yourself?” But she continued with a sledgehammer.“I know you have a secret you want to tell me.” Rinse, repeat… Rinse, repeat…I wanted so badly to please her. But had no idea what I was feeling… much less why.Worse yet? There were things I didn't want to tell her. Darker than the physical or sexual abuse she was probably check-listing. Things a traumatized kid might do… himself.I never went back. I told my parents I was uncomfortable talking to her.My dad rocked back in his dark, maple, Early American dining room chair. “Fine. That's your choice.”He paused. Looking directly at my mother as he said to me, “I can see you won't speak to this counselor. I see no reason to look for another for you to talk to. Your decision.”And that was that.We were all dying for freedom.Finally at 63, a psychologist specializing in autism gave me another name, Alexithymia.He said a lot of autistics can know something is wrong. But not know what. And baptized me, Autism Spectrum Disorder… with a side of ADHD.2016 was a good year. A damn fine year.But 1972 was a summer from hell.The last US troops shipped home, fleeing Viet Nam. Palestinians massacred Israelis at the Olympics. My father died that August. The week after he molested me for the last time.We were all dying for freedom.[music]Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.InterludeOkay. Here's the last frag I toss… today. Let's end with joyful moments. Among the dark. Let's end with survival.See, I'm giving you these fragments of my life…Cuz… if you don't know us… how ya gonna love us.And this is part of me, too…[music]I Don't Think I Had a “Personality” as a KidI was busy finding Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg…This one brings home the stakes.The moments of joy along the way… that drew a line under what could have been. Not if they fixed me. But maybe what all of our children could be.If we just listen to them. And support what they say they need.“What are you doing…?”My mother's voice was sharp.I'm lying spreadeagled on the backyard grass, face down.“I've called you three times.” Annoyed. “WHAT are you doing…?”I don't know it in Second Grade… But I have difficulties shifting attention when I'm lost in thought…I try to focus my ears…Then think back,review my short-term memory,and replay the last few moments.Trying to hear and translate anything she might have said while I'm in my private thought bubble…Already at 7, this process of “rehearsing” or “rewinding the tape” to interpret what's going on? It's an automatic, constant routine when I'm around… well, people.Checking for verbal mistakes, missed cues… Just trying to understand, what's going on…?So I'm still trying to sort it out,choose words carefully to explain,clearing my throat,moving my sleeping tongue,loosening my jaw,getting ready to speak…“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”“Umm… Nothing…?” Close as I come to a lie at that age.I've been lying in the grass for an hour or so, exploring with my new magnifying glass.See, there was this great hobby shop in Johnson City. It had all kinds of cool science “toys.” And I had saved my 50-cent allowance for weeks to buy a “Real, hand-held, magnifying glass  —  made with ALL-METAL handle!!”I was entranced.Examining grass leaves, dew drops, and…Ants.Dozens of ants. One after another.Legs.Antennae.Mandibles.Eyes.Guiltily burning off the occasional leg with focused sunlight…Endless fascination…I was in the flow…“Okay. Whatever you are doing…” I wait for the command I know will end my timeless bliss… “Stop doing it. It's time for lunch.”I sigh. Roll over.And. Trudge. In.Hardly sounds like abuse, right…..??Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed… when you don't have to get up…My autistic joys are hard to explain to another person.Pretty much ANY non-autistic person.And trying to… drags me into Deep Philosophical Waters…Imagine that last, delicious dream you're enjoying as you drowse in a warm snuggly bed on a lazy Saturday morning when you don't have to get up…And someone screams, “GET UP!”Eyes pop open. Instantly. You're so startled, for a minute… you have no idea where you are, what you're doing, the time of day, the season…Now… imagine that… if you can…Every. Damn. Day. Many, many, MANY times a day… Every single day of your childhood.Torture.Being startled out of the flow? It's like that.Capisce? Ya dig? Feel me?That's as close as I can think of to explain my moments of autistic flow.Or, better yet, my autistic joys.That same joy you seeon an autistic kid's faceas he dances endlesslyin a sprinkler in the sun…If I had to guess, this is precisely what Being in the Moment, in the Now, maybe even Zen Satori…Mean.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer…Now, that's all preamble to what I really wanna talk about…Here's the deal on Flow…I think that's where I spent most of my time as a young kid.When I wasn't interacting with family, a few schoolmates, parents, one teacher a year… the few humans I let into my life back then.And that time alone… Endlessly exploring, learning, feeling, being… was…Wordless delight.Gradually as I aged, these blissful moments became fewer and fewer… further and further and further apart… nearly gone…First, I was forced into a school system… That I was clearly not wired for.Rigid.Lockstep.Regimented.Regulated.BORING.No Free Time.To simply… explore.Later, of course, it got MUCH worse. Jobs, relationships, finances… Life in Modern Adult America.Like when I founded Unix World magazine. I was so high on the concept and the joy of process… My inner vision won us awards our first year. Western Publishing Association Best New Publication and Best Issue. Beating out Macworld and PC World.Yeah. We won awards. A couple months after I was fired from my own mag. Fired because… in my autistic mind… the game was Create the Most Amazing Publication… Ever.But the whole time, the world was shouting that it was Make the Most Money You Can… Right Now.Snake eyes. I lost.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of… fascination.Now, I have some personal speculation to get off my chest.First… I don't think I had a native personality when I was a kid…At least not as bell-curve average humans understand a personality.My natural state, left alone to my own devices? Wandering from moment to moment of fascination. No motivations. No intentions. No (verbal) thought…So… I was either happy exploring in the fields… or with my chemistry set in the basement… or catching polliwogs in Spring pools…Or I was forced to don my “personality.”In other words,the language,facial expressions,body language,polite responses,social lies,and predictable actionsthat humans think of as “personality”…and that social contact demands.Which is so natural for most humans, they aren't even aware of it.Even though they must have it from me… to feel safe.But, for me, “personality” was likebeing dragged out of my comfy pajamas,forced intothe worst, most cumbersome, restrictive, awkward, embarrassing winter coat,ear muffs,muffler,heavy snow boots,and mittensyour mother ever stuffed you intoto shove you onto that bus to kindergarten…And “personality” still is suffocating. Today. In my 70s. Ten years after diagnosed as autistic and ADHD.Especially, “fun times”… They're the real killers.Parties.Intimate conversations…Shudder... Family holidays? So nightmarish, I wrote the 7-page narrative poem sneaking my mother's creepy g-d on high.These are all times I must adopt my “personality.” You know, to survive. No matter how much “fun” they're supposed to be.What pros call “masking”? Really nothing more than exhausting habits of behavior & speech. That I must shroud myself in. Like an embalmed mummy. Just so it's easy for other humans… to feel “comfortable” around me.Not an essential Self. Just, ya know, “personality.”Certainly not me. Nothing comfortable about it.I'm going to hazard a guess.Which may be narcissistic delusion… Flow seems awfully close to what the Buddha described as experiencing “no-self” vs. the “conditioned mind.”From at least age 2 on, I clearly remember lucid dreaming and long periods of time spent without verbal thought of any kind. Just perceiving, in awe and wonder…EVERYTHING.Until I had to interact with humans. Any humans. Even those I was required… to “love.”And donning the “personality”? The joy collapsed. Fast as a quantum waveform when you try to measure it. Not into pain…Collapsing into an all-absorbing effort.Intellectualizing every word,gesture,tone of voice of my own…Then interpreting all those of each and every human I was with at the time…and THEN determining precisely the right word,tone of voice,facial expression,and body attitude to project back…all at the same timeTo avoid being in trouble.Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second…And even at a young age, a growing sense of the need to protect others…From me.Because I was different. Because I hurt people without understanding. Because I acted as if I were “arrogant”… etc., etc.Like two divorces. Cuz I could be amazing for 3 to 6 months. Caring. Fun as hell. Then fall into deep depressions and work burnouts. Cuz I couldn't handle that much intimacy. Hell, that much time alone with another human…Because I was… Bad.And I had to protect everyone around me from that.Every. Single. Second… That I am with another human.Except very young children. And of course, animals… Since I was… 4 years old.Now since diagnosis, I found a few tricks.In 2019 when I first started writing about my autism, I was all about lists. Trying to “help” others. Took me a year or two to realize we are… every one of us autists… different. Different lives. Different needs and goals. Different survival skills.So I'm only an “expert” on my own life. Even if I am the only expert on that there is.Your mileage certainly will vary.But for me? My autistic life is not about “getting better.” Or fixing me. It's about knowing who I truly am. And what I truly need. Doing what I can to meet those needs.Then being… me.So I moved to the Country…Living in the trailer across the courtyardFrom my third, loving wifeWhere I can reduce sensory overload.Reduce the number of humans I talk with To only folks I feel comfortable around.And stopped failing at jobs I was never built to do.But I… now… can pursue those things that have brought me joy since childhood.Spending unstructured, unmeasured time on any of my passions…walking in the wildest Nature I have access to,baking bread,fermenting pickles,gardening,deep-focus while replaying a favorite movie… that seventh time,illustrating,writing,playing music,researching world events….so, so many others.When I pursue a “special interest”… alone? Sometimes it's nearly orgasmic… In fact, I've redefined my understanding of my passions.They're not a forbidden pleasure. A shameful quirk. Something I “waste time on” when there's nothing more important to do.They are my gateway to Bliss, Satori, Oneness… Maybe even whatever God is… or Isn't…I'm not talking toxic positivity. My autistic joys aren't some advanced spiritual state I've achieved in my 70s. And now, suddenly… I'm here to tell you how to make everything okay. And talk you into buying your 5th NEW self-help system on the way out the door.But my joys are moments of love and happiness sprinkled through most of my days. Between meltdowns and burnouts. And some average life.They are my reason for Being.There are just NOT 7 Easy Things that Successful Autistics Do…That Will Change My Life Forever.There's just living complex… and in the end… wild autistic life.being old & autistic ain't so bad.losing inhibitions.some of which protected me from…Life.freedom turns out to be pain…and joy…in superposition.until maybe they annihilate you.Notes from the bardobefore the bardoI learned a lot that Spring afternoon on the lawn in Johnson City.I saw Infinity in a burnt-off ant leg.And, eventually… I went for it.[music]OutroNow you know.

Marcus har fått med seg voksne folk som sier de har behov for en ferie etter ferien, men først nå skjønner han hva de har ment. For nylig dro deler av storfamilien, med besteforeldre, foreldre, Xer og Yer, søsken og stesøsken, kjærester og tanta til Hepstars på storbyferie til København. De skulle høre Lenas yngste sønn disputere.Hvordan gikk det egentlig?Det får du høre i denne episoden. Som vanlig havner de to utpå viddene innimellom og snakker om alt man burde sette pris på, som bare virker veldig slitsomt i det man står i det. Men så er de tilbake i København. Hosted on Acast.

Qlobal iqlim dəyişikliyi bəşəriyyətin böyük problemi, yoxsa böyük dövlətlərin milyardlarla dollar qazanmaq üçün uydurduğu bir layihədir? "İqlim Gündəliyi" verilişinin bu buraxılışında tanınmış coğrafiyaçı alim Ənvər Əliyev ilə birlikdə iqlim sahəsindəki bütün tabuları yıxır, El-Ninyo fenomeninin pərdəarxası sirlərini və Bakı şəhərinin yaxın gələcəkdə qarşılaşacağı real ekoloji fəlakətləri müzakirə edirik. Alimimiz beynəlxalq meteorologiya təşkilatlarının hesabatlarına sərt reaksiya verərək, iqlim dəyişikliyinin elmi əsaslarının olmadığını və bu terminin fırıldaqçılıqdan ibarət olduğunu iddia edir. Söhbətdə həmçinin Xəzər dənizinin səviyyə tərəddüdləri, Bakıda son vaxtlar baş verən sel və daşqınların real səbəbləri, eləcə də paytaxtın ən böyük yarası olan 570 mindən çox sənədsiz evin gələcək taleyi təhlil olunur. Əgər Azərbaycanda su anbarlarının tikilməsinin vacibliyini, quraqlıq dövrlərinin təbii dövriliyini və Bakının niyə yaşayış üçün ən uğursuz şəhərlərdən biri olduğunu öyrənmək istəyirsinizsə, bu səmimi və sensasiyalı müsahibəni mütləq izləyin. Bu epizodda öyrənəcəksiniz: El-Ninyo iqlim hadisəsi nədir və Sakit okeandakı proseslər Azərbaycana necə təsir edir? Niyə coğrafiyaçı alim iqlim dəyişikliyini "pul yığmaq üçün qurulan bir şou" adlandırır? Xəzər dənizinin səviyyəsinin dəyişməsi: Quraqlıq və rütubətli dövrlərin 35 illik qızıl qanunu Bakıda yağan şiddətli yağışlar və sel fəlakətlərinin infrastruktura dağıdıcı təsiri Paytaxtın demoqrafik böhranı: 570 mindən çox sənədsiz ev və daxili miqrasiya təhlükəsi Azərbaycanın su ehtiyatları: Sel sularını toplamaq üçün 44 su anbarının tikilmə zərurəti Günəşdəki partlayışların və dövrülük qanununun Yer kürəsindəki zəlzələlərə birbaşa əlaqəsi

Tarih 30 Nisan 2026… Yer yine Akdeniz'in uluslararası suları, Girit açıkları... Sahne tanıdık, senaryo ise tam bir İsrail Alçaklığı Klasiği…

Ayet ve hadislerde bildirildiğine göre muhakkak ki kafire ve küfri nifak işleyen kimselere sonsuza dek sürecek azap vardır. Ahmed b. Hanbel'in Bera b. Azib'den rivayet edip Ebu Uvane'nin "Kabir sualleri hakkında" adlı kitabında sahih dediği uzunca hadisin son kısmında: "Sonra onun (kabirde azap gören kişi) için ateşten bir delik açılır. Kıyamete kadar bu delikten o kişiye duman ve azap gelir." Başka bir rivayette de şöyledir: "Sonra onun (kabirde azap gören kişi) için sağır, dilsiz ve kör bir adam gelir. Onda demirden bir çubuk vardır. Onunla bir dağa vursa dağ un ufak olur. Bu çubukla ölüye bir darbe vurulur ve ölü paramparça olur. Sonra kabirdeki adam eski şekline döner, ve azap bu şekilde tekrarlanır." Bu konuda bildirilen ayetler şunlardır: "Onlar (kafirler) ateşten çıkmayacaklardır." (Bakara s. 167) "Deve iğnenin deliğinden geçinceye kadar cennete girmeyecekler." (A'raf s. 40) "Onlar tam olarak ölmezler. Onlardan azap da hafifletilmez. Kafirleri işte böyle cezalandırırız." (Fatır s. 3)" Toprağa sıkıştır denilir. O, ölü üzerine kapanır ve ölünün uzuvları, birbirine geçer. Allâh onu yattığı yerden diriltinceye kadar ona bu şekilde azap edilir. Tirmizi'nin Ebu Said'den rivayet ettiği hadis şöyledir: "Yer onun üzerine kapanır ta ki uzuvları birbirine geçinceye dek. Ona yetmiş tane ejderha hazırlanır. Onlardan her biri yeryüzüne bir üflese ondan hiçbir şey kalmaz. İşte bu ejderhalar o ölüye hesap için tekrar dirilinceye dek ateş püskürtüp tırmalar." Bu haberlerin verdiği ortak mana ise kafirlerin her birine değişik şekilde azap edilmesidir. (İbn Hacer Askalani , Kabir Alemi , s.1)

Hey there! It's Michael here — and welcome back to Speak Naturally in a Minute from Happy English. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point lesson to help you improve your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation.Today, let's talk about something that confuses a lot of learners. Why do “your” like, your pen and “you're” like you are nice sound exactly the same in American English? The reason is, in natural speech, both words usually reduce to “yer.”So instead of saying:  “your phone”   Americans say:  “yer phone.” And instead of:   “you're late”       We say:  “yer late.”Listen to these examples:“Is that your car?” → “Is that yer car?” “You're early today.” → “Yer early today.” “Your idea is great.” → “Yer idea is great.”This is part of American rhythm — small words often get weaker, and the important words get the stress.Try using this pronunciation in your English conversations this week. Let me know in the comments how that goes. And remember to follow and subscribe so you won't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's Speak Naturally in a Minute.Hey, thanks for listening!  Until next time, keep learning and keep it cool.Happy English Podcast – Speak English Naturally I'm Michael from Happy English, and I help people speak English more naturally, confidently, and clearly.

Hello friends. I went on a bit of a tirade here, but the mental health battery seems depleted for so many, so I thought it was fitting. Thought I would send one out to the universe before the busyness of the Holidaze craze gets our goats. There are so many digital voices online vying for your attention so don't be afraid to shut certain ones out. Be in the moment as much as you can, because there are so many forces that are trying to take you out of the moment. All the time. Take care of you.Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing.

"Yer man's in the pits, boss!" Joseph Kosinski's crowd-pleasingly kinetic F1 was one of the success stories of the year at the box office, displaying impressive legs (or wheels) to take the chequered flag with over $600 million in the global bank, making it the biggest hit of Brad Pitt's career. And now that the film is making its debut on Apple TV, our Chris Hewitt sat down with the film's producer, the legendary Jerry Bruckheimer, and stars Damson Idris and Kerry Condon for a fun, frank and fascinating look back at the movie. It's not a spoiler special, per se, but familiarity with F1 (the movie, not the sport, although that might help too) couldn't hurt. However you're listening to this, we hope you enjoy.

Seasons eatings, my friends. Thank you for the clicks and upticks here in my tiny corner of Graventown. After the recent rad interviews of George Stromboulopoulos and Toronto Mike, it's nice to send out an old school solo mind-massager into the multiverse. I took a few minutes to pause and reflect and look a bit inward in this - the coldest and darkest part of the year. May you find your flow state where you don't have to push so hard. I hope it hits you in the heart cockles.

From the approved desk files of Lorne Honickman and from the top shelf blue plate specials at Palma Pasta, I was very happy to welcome Toronto Mike to the Graventown. I'm happy to be in the FOTM (Friends Of Toronto Mike'd) Universe. He's actually an incredibly and prolifically busy human being with very little windows outside of his own work, as he not only runs and produces his own popular podcast called Toronto Mike'd (that has already surpassed WTF w Marc Maron into the 1800 episode space), but produces many others - so he was a hard man to pin down. Nevertheless, we made it work and had a wondrous and whimsical chat about a swath of topics (as we always do) and I even got Mike to open up about his beginnings into the art of the interview. We yakked about Marc Maron, Joel Plaskett, Alan Doyle, Strombo, TSN's Dave Hodge, and so much more. Enjoy. (Please note; due to technical problems in the Graventown studio, Mike was kind enough to record this over zoom from the swanky Toronto Mike'd Corporate Studios - I'm still waiting for the bill. Kidding, Mike. Love you.)Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing.

Friends. Howdy. I sure haven't been around these parts but I've appreciated the clicks and upticks. Thank you! I'm entering hibernation station for this part of the season so please excuse my slow podcast delivery system, but I wanted to fire one off into the universe, regardless. I used to have a supervisor who would say "irregardless of that" all the time to try and sound smart, and it always irked me (because that's not even really a word - well, it sort of is - anyways, let's not get too deep into the word-weeds). I have some shows upcoming and some thoughts I wanted to share and I hope you all enjoy the auditory rollercoaster ramblings of my current state.

Friends with no love ends; it's been a few seconds. I hope you're all well and raising some kindness and love-based hell. Thank you as always for being along on my podcastical odyssey. Here are some thick thoughts post Canadian east-coast traveling and unraveling after spending a week recording a new album. I talk about my last podcast with Strombo (George Stroumboulopoulos) and hitting the 100 mark, the stirring of the sonic sauce of the new album with Charles Austin and Melissa Payne and all of their beautiful and bountiful work out at Ocean Floor, and just re-regulating after the deregulating of travel and a truly immersive experience.

G-towners and nonfrowners; hello. Well I did tell you that I did indeed have something epic planned for the century mark episode - and I feel pretty confident to say that I delivered on that promise of Epic-iosity. My guest for episode 100 is none other Canadian and American media personality, ex CBC and Muchmusic television host, podcaster, Apple Music showrunner and all around renaissance man George Stroumboulopoulos. George and I started chatting way back during the early days of the pandemic lockdowns, when he would have me pop on his livestreams (as just some random music guy from Ottawa) and when I was doing the graventown livestream basement shows, he would kindly boost my signal and say nice things in the chat. So as you can imagine, I was thrilled to the gills to have such a busy, massively well known and loved high-octane mind in the graventown studio with me. We talked about a metric tonne of topics; music, film, comedy, the arts in general, Norm Macdonald, Kevin Hearn, Marc Maron, Tom Green, David Letterman, The Misfits, long form conversations, human connection and all kinds of golden goose dropping shiznit. I hope you enjoyed our hang. Good things, friends.

Friends. I'm incredibly close to episode 100 and I do have something special planned, and as a lead up event - I was lucky enough to pin down the unpinnable Stephen Stanley for a great return to G-town conversation about all things music, our upcoming tour, making albums in the current age, our upcoming tour, living room shows and so much more. Oh - and did I mention that we have an upcoming tour?! In September?!? Buy tickets at graven dot can or stephenstanleyband dot com and come see our cosmic comic stylings in a town near you! Stephen has become a huge mentor-like hawk-friend of my musical journey for so many reasons, and I hope you chuckle as much as we did while recording this beauty.Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing.

Hello friends. I admittedly don't even remember what this episode was about as I was between Guelph and Uxbridge - and post gig criscrossing and careening through Central Ontarian byways at the time.

Friends, Countryfolk and city dwellers; lend me your digital devices. Welcome back to another regularly scheduled closed circuit television program called Graventown. I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with an insanely busy Ottawa celebrity, radio and tv broadcaster, comedy advocate, philanthropic community connector and all around lovely dude and dad - Dylan Black. Dylan is someone whose interview path I happily crossed many times on Rogers Daytime TV when promoting a local Ottawa show or an album release. We had a great convo about the changing landscape of journalism and print media, online landmines, music, comedy and all things fatherhood.

Friendoes. I'm on the coast and I don't have my good keyboard so this will be a quick descriptor; I had a beautiful walk home from the pub I ate at last night to my tiny room in the mountains and wanted to share my thoughts and my walk-view with all of you lovelies.

Well hello, friendoes. I hope your summers are sizzling and your drinks are fizzling. Nothing like dropping an ice cube into anything carbonated.

Howdy Graventowners - I hope you're drinking up the summer months with a thirsty fury and an existential slurp. This weather is golden and we get so little of it - so may you take the time to get off the screens and just drool on your porch or lie on a park bench. Today, I was lucky to have a very cool Canadian and specifcially Ontarian-famous guest; Gisele Corinthios. Gisele is a creator, writer and performer in Toronto, Canada and for 18 years, Gisele was the host and producer for TVO/TV Ontario's top-rated educational preschool morning show called "Gisele's Big Backyard" (formerly "The Nook"). Gisele is a livewire of energy and creativity and basically built a massively watched childrens television show from the ground up and was (and still is) a household name in broadcasting. We had a lovely emotional and vivacious chat and I hope you have a listen while you light up a "dog-walker" and take a stroll. Much love, get outside and chat soon. Catch me in a town near you in 2025 alongside Melissa Payne, Stephen Stanley (Lowest of the Low) and many other rad artists by visiting my website to see where I'm playing.

There’s some doubt… basically they said that what they showed, which is a microscopic H-shaped aluminum wire on top of indium arsenide – a superconductor at ultra-cold temperatures, and the devices are designed to harness majoranas, previously undiscovered quasi-particles that are essential for topological qubits to work, and the goals for majoranas to appear at the four tips of the H-shaped wire emerging from reflective-behavior electrons, and these majorans in theory could be used to perform quantum computing that are resistant to information loss, but no proof, no evidence, and they think Microsoft’s full of it.” General News  04:12 Google + Wiz: Strengthening Multicloud Security Google has announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Wiz. This will allow them to better provide business and governments with more choice in how they protect themselves.  Google answers why now… and that they have seen their
