Some years back my wife made the front page of the Wall St. Journal. They did a piece about how she made up fake data (names, locations, dates, CV, etc) to feed to social media in order to disrupt data linking.
We are one of the few places that has a paper copy of the highly prescient HEW report from 1973 that warned of the dangers of the now ubiquitous practice of data linking.

One of our friends is the daughter of a Chilean refugee who came here as a young child after the fascist coup in 1973.
Under this Labour government she and her family would have been sent back, probably by 1980 when the dictatorship imposed a new constitution. It was still a highly repressive country. Refugees generally didn't deem it safe to return until the late 1980s. Most made lives here, contributing greatly to this country, as migrant communities always do.
added a new hampton grease band date, a new-to-me 1971 music fest in florida, dusserah, also featuring a band called dark star. the ashes of moby grape & iron butterfly didn't show. one site says the amboy dukes, tom petty's mudcrutch, & lynyrd skynyrd played, too. https://jessejarnow.com/2020/05/…

When the sun goes nova
And the world turns ova,
You don't wanna be alone
So honey, come on home.
When you're in a valley
And the dam breaks, pally,
You don't wanna be alone,
So honey, come on home.
If you're on the bum –
And the policemen come –
If you lose your grip –
Or your trousers rip!
I'll be waiting, dear ....

The Holy Mountain (1973) is profoundly bizarre, some would probably find much of this disturbing, and I'm glad I'm finally watching it 😂

Good Morning #Canada
If you are a vintage Canadian, you will remember a 1973 commercial comparing the health of a 30-year-old Canadian to a 60-year-old Swede or taking a #BodyBreak with Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. The nonprofit organization #ParticipACTION has either motivated you to start an exercise program or caused you to feel guilty about being a couch potato. From 1971 to 2001, ParticipACTION operated independently, with government support, and focused on improving the health of Canadians through physical activity. It disappeared for a few years but was relaunched in 2007 as a nonprofit with guaranteed support from the federal government (funding and administrative).
Every year, they release the ParticipACTION Report Card, and for 2025, the data shows a failing grade in most categories. I acknowledge my contribution, or lack thereof. Despite the well documented positive impact of exercise, we are falling short.
