i wonder how good the case is against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? My feeling is there must be something really solid as evidence. It's so wild.

brilliance!

I can't believe that just in my lifetime we went from the conscious Black Pride hip hop of the 90's to the "Harriet Tubman wasn't real" Tik Toks of today.

Tasmanian Writer being written about here

It’s the 211th anniversary of an editorial in The Times which “deplores the credulity of Londoners”. Apparently, they’d fallen en masse for a rumour that there was a gentlewoman living in the capital who was unremarkable but for the fact she had a pig’s head 🧵

I have never been happier to avoid the Current Movie Discourse and I will continue to not engage in the Current Movie Discourse because, in my opinion, the end goal was not to make a movie but to be the Current Movie Discourse and I would much rather show you the Editing Goat

completely brain fried today. so many connections.

There's too much ambient music. Things would improve if ambient musicians had to produce a symphonic power metal LP, a Carnatic grindcore ballet or a jazz fusion opera in F# Phrygian once every 5 years, just to show they can (cf The Straight Story) before being allowed to fire up the reverb again.

No, I don't have any interest in wrestling. But listening to its Sydney fans shouting "Fuck ICE" on repeat? Music to my ears 😄

A normal person. Very normal.

I hate to say this, but the police violence in NSW was occuring in Tasmania during environmental protests, along with absolutely draconian laws to imprison environmental protestors, for years.

This is serious. Minns describes parayerful men as a 'provocation' to police. I'view with G Krayem, of Muslim Votes Matter, about what happened. Bluntly, the coppers organized it because Minns looks to spearhead anti-Islamism in Australia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEUa...

This is Ali Jaber. Israel killed him with his father in Lebanon two days ago. We truly don’t hate Israel enough.

when you think of vandalism, do you think of it being intrinsically pointless? As in, a significant component of an act of vandalism is that it is not for anything other than destruction or damage, that it is not ideological?

wow, stumbled over this Ballard thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHFu...

Israel, you wanna FAFO by destroying the graves of 10th Light Horsemen? If you're too gutless to assist with arresting him for his role in the mass genocide of Palestinians, arrest Herzog for this, Albo! We just had our faces spat on by the Israelis, who, apparently, are 'bulldozer happy' too.

I remember buying new video games. In the form of BASIC program listings in a magazine that you had to type in yourself.

Yep, if there's one thing I hate it's people giving me money for my work. Makes me furious.

Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner." #auspol #nswpol #PoliceViolence #HerzogNotWelcome

This man was arrested in Australia today for being an ‘agitator’ for yelling ‘shame’ at a passing Israel President Herzog, on the basis it ‘incited fear’ - FFS! This is totally fucked, our draconian & worsening anti-protest laws are what’s shameful. #Auspol #FreePalestine #HerzogNotWelcome ✊🪧✌️💜

Strong content warning: Police assault of protester #auspol From Jared Kimpton @jared_kimpton on Twitter

I'm inclined to review my membership of the ALP. The police brutality at the demonstration in Sydney on 9 February could be the last straw. I would still want to vote strategically, dreaming of preselections yielding Labor parliamentarians prepared to speak out against genocide.

The government is urging people protesting the visit of Israel's president to be respectful after tensions flared at a Sydney rally. Follow live.

this is absolutely disgraceful

damn cool thread.

Late period Glenn Hughes from about 15 years ago. Total killer. Also: I love the fact that The KLF just billed him as ‘Glenn Hughes: The Voice of Rock’ for ‘America: What Time is Love’. People forget about Hughes but he’s up there with Dio. youtu.be/TtZHEhoIP2Y?...

🩷 been feeling this all day. Nothing will happen. I’m so fucking angry.

There has been some absolute bullshit involved with Australian Mardi Gras this year & it really just reinforces the fact that these events/organisations that really rely on corporate money & proximity to politicians are absolute garbage who have no interest in genuine queer liberation

Bezos has killed the Washington Post's books pages. John Williams is a mensch, and a good and loyal friend, to me, to @backlisted.bsky.social and to anyone who loves literature and reading. Now more than ever, you know where not to buy your books, or anything else for that matter.
