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.

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 🧵

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Deepfake fraud taking place on an industrial scale, study finds
AI content for scams can be targeted at individuals and ‘produced by pretty much anybody’, researchers say Deepfake fraud has gone “industrial”, an analysis published by AI experts has said. Tools to create tailored, even personalised, scams – leveraging, for example, deepfake videos of Swedish journalists or the president of Cyprus – are no longer niche, but inexpensive and easy to deploy at scale, said the analysis from the AI Incident Database.
