This should be a great night with amazing authors and human beings @captainamerico.bsky.social, S.R. Underschultz and Ben O’Mara at Gang Gang Cafe 6:30pm Wed 22 October! Come along if you’re in Canberra! 👻 🍷 🥘 📚 More info: lostsouls.net.au/blog-spookys... Tix: events.humanitix.com/spooky-stori...

So, imagine being so racist that you decided to take part in a Nazi party march. Kudos, you’re human trash. But imagine being so astronomically stupid about your understanding of what you claim to be fighting for (white power, you’re marching for white power)

Let me linger in this last human night. Alas, my loves, here comes the ‘morrow’s dawn. Let it not be said that we had no fight. Though the Reaper’s grim score will prove us wrong. Alas, my loves, here comes the ‘morrow’s dawn. Dear friends and foe’d ones have fallen silent.

Worth remembering that Terence Stamp was the son of a ship's stoker. Stamp desperately wanted to act, after falling in love with movies as a kid, and it was a scholarship to Drama School that allowed him to walk that path. Every time arts cuts are made, they rob us of more Terence Stamps.

Jack Kirby story from 1959 ("I Fought the Colossus," Strange Tales # 72) predicts AI would be developed by 2020 and that one major fear would be that it would start giving the wrong answers to questions and "wreck civilization." Gotta love the 1950s giant mainframes.

Turn off AI in search results. I just did this in Chrome and it works. tenbluelinks.org#chrome-windows

Please tell me they’re not using AI.

There’s very little that I boast about or gets me to trash talk. But the fact that I can still pick up a Street Fighter game and straight trounce some random kid that thinks because they learned some long string combo they can beat someone who has been practicing the fundamentals since day one?

Do all these motherfuckers coming out to condemn Israel now the genocide is pretty much accomplished think we don't notice? It's been genocide all along, you disingenuous fucks.

Cannot wait!

A reminder everyone: “This month, we’ve got local comic book legend Brendon Dann to come talk to us! Brendan is the owner of Dee’s Comics, and a local legend in the comic scene here in Canberra.

As someone who grew up with wrestling in the 90s and early 2000s, I’m always happy to be reminded that not all my heroes turned out to be assholes lmao

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

LA seems like, as a whole, a city you shouldn't mess with. Just sayin'

You can see he just aimed and fired on a journalist. There was no question what he was doing.

If the protests aren’t a little out of control nothing will change. Out of control can mean numbers or something not as benign. But if the protests stay small and safe…no one will notice and nothing will change. That’s just the world we live in.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Like Tupac once said, “Where cowards die and the strong ball Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die In L.A.”

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

So, I’ve never properly read a @stephenking.bsky.social book (I know, I know), and I’ve decided to rectify that with 11.22.63 and I have not been able to put it down! Absolutely beautiful character and world building! I knew he was talented, but dude is straight up gifted! An absolute joy to read!

NPR just sued Trump over his unconstitutional executive order gutting federal funding for public media. Kudos to them for standing up for the First Amendment. It reminds me of when Mr. Rogers stood up to Nixon's attempts to gut public broadcasting 56 years ago.

I'd like to propose a reality show where kristi noem gets hunted on a game preserve

The work of the unsung hero is when you choose not to “like” something or respond to a post you feel the need to say your piece in just so you can keep the count at “69”. Truly doing the lord’s work.

It was the second night of heavy bombing, after airstrikes Wednesday on northern and southern Gaza killed dozens of people, including almost two dozen children.

I had things to say about @jamesgunn.bsky.social #Superman trailer. eternalproductions.blogspot.com/2025/05/eyes...

For those failing to get the "copilot" AI off their Microsoft Word -- If you proceed with canceling Microsoft Office, you'll get a "wait wait don't go!" screen where they suddenly offer you "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" -- which *doesn't include AI* and is actually cheaper! Weird workaround.

After much research, I have come to the conclusion that the greatest detriment for writers in today's soceity is the lack of gold stars we used to get when we turned ANYTHING in. And I'm not talking about the crappy stars you would get off the sheets of crap stars that wouldn't stick on anything.

Recording cops is a First Amendment right. Yes, even ICE. Yes, even outside federal buildings. No, they can’t steal your phone or delete your footage — unless they’ve got a warrant signed by an actual judge. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #nokings #FiftyFiftyOne #ImpeachTrump #knowyourrights

MAGA is the American Nazi Party.

This!!!

Look, Aussies. When I left America, America went and lost its natural damn mind; it voted in a dictator, it told people Covid wasn’t real and we lost so many people, and It is currently living out how Hitler got into power.

The CSFG is looking for slush readers for our upcoming anthology, Never Say Die! We’re looking for a strong, diverse group of slush readers to review a handful of pieces each and help determine the fate of the anthology ✨✨✨ If you are interested, please email us below! [email protected]

80 years ago, the first concentration camp built by Nazi Germany was liberated by U.S. soldiers. More than 40,000 individuals, including Jews, LGBT individuals, and political prisoners, died there, and many more suffered greatly. Never again, ever.

I’m ready to Minecraft! #minecraft

It’s honestly getting to be a tired conversation with people I respected.

Every election. Every western country. Same narrative from the right. And somehow* this shit still gets them over the line. *Depressingly low levels of public media literacy, and a complicit commentariat, bound by their employment contracts to billionaire oligarchs...

It’s Superman Day today. Wrote a thing about Superman back when blogs were still around. Feel like with @jamesgunn.bsky.social coming out with Superman. I finally can take my kid to watch a Superman movie. eternalproductions.blogspot.com/2016/02/even...

Passover celebrates the Jews breaking free from the bondage of tyrants, and the worshipping of false, golden idols some 3,200 years ago—so glad we got all that out of the way and don’t have to deal with that kind of shit today.

I’m not surprised about what the Trump administration does. I am surprised at the amount of people who work at places that involve actual history and science that are doing as they’re told.

I like to think about people in history and what their guilty pleasure movies would be. I think Mark Twain would’ve been a fan of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Mahatma Gandhi, big John Wick fan. Jesus would’ve liked The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Beethoven? Beethoven.

Holy hell!

I went to a cafe today that had coffee called “Three Stories”, which I first found humorous being a writer and all. But then quickly found that it was an accurate description of my experience drinking it. The first Act

Working on a new project. I haven’t been this excited about something that has been near and dear to me my whole life in such a long time. Cannot wait to share!

He ain’t wrong.
