David Fennario

David William Fennario, (born David Wiper, 26 April 1947) is a Canadian playwright best known for Balconville (1979), his bilingual dramatization of life in working-class Montreal, for which he won the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award. A committed Marxist, Fennario was a candidate for the Union des forces progressistes in 2003 and for Québec solidaire in 2007. He has been the subject of two National Film Board of Canada documentaries, David Fennario's Banana Boots and Fennario: His World On Stage.[1]

His pen name, "Fennario," given to him by a former girlfriend, is from a Bob Dylan song, "Pretty Peggy-O."

gollark: ZIP files are, for some odd reason, read backward.
gollark: Thus, python-able image file.
gollark: A fun feature of python is that it actually will run `__main__.py` or something from ZIP files, and ZIP files are weird and backward and can be concatenated onto the end of another file without decoders caring much.
gollark: PNG has some mandatory header parts at the start and I don't think you could make something both a valid PNG and valid in any modern executable format.
gollark: PNG files aren't "run", they're opened and displayed by some sort of image viewer program. And no PNG has no metadata, or it's not actually a valid file. While you can mix hidden data in with the image data, computers will not randomly run that, barring some sort of extremely bad vulnerability.
