I just have to share this because I have no idea what to do with it now I've seen it. "The US Army Chorus sang and performed the Epilogue Finale from Les Miserables at the White House Governors Ball hosted by Donald and Melania Trump on February 22, 2025." Um... I don't think this means what […]

[#DisabilitySupport #Disability #NZPol #AUSPol] If you think neoliberal capitalism doesn't also have eugenics based policies designed to diminish the "financial burden" of those unable to contribute labour value, if not their actual numbers, you'd be mistaken […]

No adaptation of any Anne Rice novel prepares you for the complete unhingedness of an Anne Rice novel. I'm almost finished 'Interview With The Vampire' audiobook, and- wow. Just wow. I'm not saying it's not wonderfully written, compelling, and thematically rich, I'm saying that I need a string […]

[#AncientApocalypse #GrahamHancock #Racism #AntiIntellectualism #KeanuReeves #Pseudoarcheology #Pseudoscience] I follow a number of awesome science communicators on YT. And I know several are gearing up to release their analysis of Graham Hancock's latest season of Anceint Apocalypse. So I […]

The house I'm currently living in is beyond repare and needs to be knocked down, imo. But all of its problems are well beyond my purview. My only real job is to try and get out of it, and manage to stumble through livability whilst I'm here. One thing is the mice. And besides keeping all my […]

True! Woody Guthrie 'All You Fascists Bound To Lose'. https://youtu.be/VwcKwGS7OSQ?si=kcbbYwpw3E-9EhG1

[#TrumpAdministralion #USPol #TransRights #TravelBan #Fascism] By reclassifying sex identification classes via executive order, Trump has effectively enacted a travel ban on trans people. Individuals trying to apply for/update passports have found their applications stalled and supporting […]

[#StarTrek #Section31 #MichelleYeoh] So, it turns out that Star Trek Section 31 is a bit of a lot shit. Pity. But why? When you have Michelle Yeoh in a fight scene, you do your due cinematographic diligence, or you offend me personally. Even if she's not doing her own fighting and stunts, I […]

This. This, this, and more this. It's amazing and devastating to me how much beauty of experience humanity is being alienated from. Handwriting is an old, maybe even first love of mine that continues to survive and thrive. My earliest, pre-school memories are of wanting it, trying to do it. My […]

When I first came here, I did this all the time, and I appreciated the practice. More recently, I've been lax. It is a timely reminder to always enter public discourse with a bit of grave and respect. https://aus.social/@AusSocialMods/113886296617956860

On the eve of "Australia Day" it's time to remember the real significance of the date. The truth is, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are the revolutionary vanguard in this racist, colonial state. Anyone on the left who doesn't recognise this will fail in any resistence action, from […]

A very good general overview of the politics of crises in the context of the colonial, neoliberal conditions of so-called Australia. Applicable, I think, to most similar nations. Though a bit older now, it's fair to draw many coloraries in the LA Fires, the, new national emergency at the […]

Hmm... no lies detected. "The horrifying violence and abuse that Scarlett Pavlovich describes is not the result of an individual man’s monstrosity. It isn’t even the result of some innate, absolving, universal “human nature”. Scarlett Pavlovich endured what she endured because capitalism in […]

Nosferatu is a wonderful movie! Every time Robert Eggers completes a film, a new go-to classic emerges. Just loved it, and I'm really surprised Lily-Rose Depp didn't irritate me. At all. And "May the Holy Mind of God bugger you!" goes straight into rotation.

This is a really great point that's been forming in my mind for some time. As I've been going through my online presence and locking down my shit, I, like so many, are hitting up against the wall of "yeah, I'm not going to do that / no more apps / I don't have a privacy issue / I doesn't […]

I finally gave Facebook and the whole Meta suite the flick. And I feel lighter! I've been working through 'The Cyber-Cleanse' by Janet Vertesi @cyberlyra. https://www.optoutproject.net/tags/cleanse/ I started ahead in some regards, am behind in others, and some things either don't apply to me […]
