There

It's a few years old now, but few things amuse me like this interview with Bridget Christie as one of the Taskmaster extras.

You may believe that rhino poaching is a one-sided, cut-and-dried affair, but there's nuance, and you can get it in this excellent podcast: The Invisible Hand.

Georgina Savage returns to South Africa to document her family’s fight in a poaching war, but as she gets more immersed in the lives of those involved, she must confront the colonial past of her country and its implications on a conflict close to home.

Aussie Greg Neville shows and discusses his Penguin Books collection, with an emphasis on Series Design. For instance, here are some from the Modern Classics series, and Neville's thoughts on them.

I somehow missed this sweet video a couple months ago. One swan was injured and removed from Bluffer's Park. When Toronto Wildlife Center returned the swan to the park, this happened:

One Minute Park allows you to visit parks around the world... for one minute. Counter in the top right corner switches to a new park after 60 seconds. Browse button in the bottom left. Hit the question mark to submit your own video.

The 2012 documentary, The Imposter, is up on Youtube in its entirety. It is a truly unbelievable story.

Videos ain't your thing? Here's The Chameleon, the original David Grann New Yorker article from 2008, which is the first time I'd heard of imposter Frédéric Bourdin. If you're unfamiliar with David Grann, he's the author of the Killers of the Flower Moon, which Scorsese filmed in 2023.

Absolutely mind-boggling.

The Telegraph did an interview with Bourdin upon the film's release.

One of the many reasons I'm so down on Toronto is just how oppressively hot it can get. I've lived in some hot places (Los Angeles, Southern Spain, Vanuatu, Cuba, the Dominican, Melbourne...), but Toronto, in my opinion, is the hottest. I don't care what the number on the thermometer reads — I care how I feel. How I sweat. What a slog it is to get from place to place as a pedestrian — and, to me, there is no worse place than Toronto in the summer. (It also has the worst traffic, but that's another post.)

Anyway, there's a great long-form piece by Sam Bloch in Places Journal about Shade.
