Alan Swinney release hearing

Loading

The more I think about what happened today, the more I realize that not a whole lot actually happened. But there were some interesting bits that came up.

The view from the 17th floor was amazing though, looking out over Naito Parkway, and the waterfront, and the bridges, it actually reminded me a bit of the first time I ever visited this town, seeing its beauty when it was lit up at night, and I knew eventually I wanted to move here.

At this time, until the investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mike’s death are completed, it’s not appropriate for us to make any additional statements about what has happened.

A background on the theory of press passes and the public space

Loading

Over the last few month and a half (it feels like a year by this point), I’ve been approached by a number of people concerning the concept of citizen/independent journalists and press passes. A large part of it is undoubtedly the fact that I actually produce press passes for independent journalists (shameless plug here for more […]
