- *insert something clever here about bombs*
I actually don’t have many deep, long-winded comments regarding the debacle currently arising around Thorarinn Ingi Jonsson’s bomb hoax at the ROM but do want to be explicit about my choice of link on this subject, the Torontoist being one of a handful of media outlets actually explaining the nature of the art project that […]
