Police shooting of Kumanjayi Walker shows Australia needs 'comprehensive reform', UN says www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

🚨 Big news 5 years in the making: some friends and I made a documentary! 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR hits Shudder soon, directed by Donna Davies and inspired by my 2020 book of the same name If you are in Australia, I hope you can make it to the world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival

Last night’s performance with Jane Stark was super fun. In the beautiful BEAUTIFUL Sullivan Hall in White Gum Valley. Thank you WWIM for hosting.

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman. #booksky #bannedbooks #reading #socialjustice #literature #books

Pretty chuffed with how this track turned out.

Album is up. Lovers of synth and haters of fascism get onto it. @synthsky.bsky.social joshuasantospirito.bandcamp.com/album/hope-i...

Happy 90th birthday Terry Riley. May we suggest a lazy afternoon among the crocodiles. Photo for MAGNET by Lenny Gonzalez. Read our classic feature on the Godfather Of Modern Minimalism: magnetmagazine.com/2022/01/27/o...

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Oh sure, fuckhead is on tour.

Moving towards the solstice so had a joyful time in the music room with this maximalist synthesiser meditation. Longer vid on my Insta. @moogsynth.bsky.social @synthsky.bsky.social

My graphic novel is one of Alia Graphic’s notables for 2024! Thanks Alia for all the work you do promoting comics in libraries.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

From Bing/Santospirito’s set on Saturday during Dark Mofo.

Playing at MONA this Friday as part of Dark Mofo. 10am-12pm at the SEX AND DEATH DAY SPA.

Controversial double opinion: ‘Lotus’ is R.E.M.’s best track and Israel is awful.

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.

Imagine if we fired warning shots at visiting diplomats who wandered off the path. Then apologised for any inconvenience.

I have an album coming out July 4. You can preorder now with all $ being donated to PANZMA. Synth pieces created from a range of emotions. @synthsky.bsky.social

Hello!! I'm going to be doing a couple of events in NSW in the coming weeks! First is a comics workshop I'm running in the regional town of Grenfell on May 24th, 10 am--all skill levels are welcome! You can grab tickets by visiting the Bound Pages Bookshop website: www.boundpagesbookshop.com.au

UP THE GUTS TOUR Bing/Santospirito music-ing at you on a brief weekend sojourn North to Oatlands (house gig tonight) and Launceston (Sunday at 4pm @ Sawtooth)

You should all listen to Jenny Hval’s new album … and all of her albums.

did you know i am uploading the first 10% of Bedfellows on Webtoons for free and that I am almost done so you can read almost 28 pages of the book in lovingly reformatted vertical scroll format? www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/st... well now you do.

I love how Nutellex, the vegan margarine spread I use, asks on their packaging for us to follow their instagram as if it might be a very wonderful thing to do.

Teaser track going out into the world NOW! For an upcoming album of synth music coming out later this year. This 19 minute epic covers a lot of sonic territory. @synthsky.bsky.social #synthesiser on.soundcloud.com/tqAqGTs6iLtx...

Kneecap at Coachella with the forbidden graphic

The final scene of season 5 of Fargo was so unexpected, bizarre, refreshing and so moving. It’s still in my head the day after. The season was great, tho definitely uneven in its quality. All of those ten hours of storytelling came down to this one extraordinary scene. Bravo

"Masculine Energy"

Can’t believe less than 24 hours after the salmon farms legislation passed the lower house, Albo sends 4 x f35s around Tasmania for Fish Farm reconnaissance, it’s the Franklin dam all over again!

Just as our national environment laws look set to do the thing they're meant to - protect the Maugean skate - the Government's going to change them But this isn't just about the skate. This is an attack on democracy. @eloise-carr.bsky.social #auspol

Sunday night’s concert in the front room. C’mon world governments! You fkn suck.

I’ll never understand why so many arts/music festivals don’t write back to people who pitch to say that they haven’t been selected. Even a pro-forma reply would suffice. Although not everywhere, it is common in large sections of most application processes in arts

Friday night in Franklin I have some art in a group show called ‘When the Fog Clears’ as part of Ten Days, presented by Constance ARI. Fun show!
