January 5, 2026

There has been a lot of bad news around the world already this year, but one good part has been this stirring performance of Bread and Roses by Lucy Dacus during the inauguration of Zohran Mamdani that’s been stuck in my head for days.

Fungus Zone

Fungus Zone is a blog created and run by Mike Horowitz, an artist and animator living in Tiohtià:ke - Mooniyang (Montréal). He hopes to cultivate this site as a place to practice longer form writing, to think more critically about the works he engages with, and to have a little fun. Each new post will also be accompanied by a commissioned work of art or a donation in the hopes that this (arguably) selfish endeavour can simultaneously provide material benefit to others, too.

Press Pause Radio

Here's the thing—Press Pause Radio has the goal of trying to distance ourselves away from any other podcast you may hear about or listen to. We range on a multitude of topics, from current events in the video games industry to many different retrospectives that made our once scoffed upon "juvenile" entertainment into a respected media platform among music and movies. To give you a bit of background on Press Pause Radio, our demographic is any gamer within the age group between 15 and 35. Our podcast and website encompass all different genres and play styles, but we mainly focus on providing insight and exposure to products developed by Independent game companies that provide fresh experiences within a medium that suffers from recycled ones. We cater to a variety of different tastes for the gaming public that's presented in an alternative, but professional manner, emphasizing the importance of an independent and educated voice. So kick back and listen! Feel free to message us with any ideas you may have for the show, or just plain message us.
