Canada, like all settler colonial projects, is very careful about who it "recognizes" and who it doesn't. Always read the fine print, the conditions mean everything. Remember, this is the country that still has an "Indian Act" which demonstrates how this process works in practice.

On Friday 24 October, we have three classic horrors from the land down under. 🦘LONG WEEKEND (1978) 👻NEXT OF KIN (1982) 🫠BODY MELT (1993) Weekend and Day Passes are selling fast! Individual screening tickets will be put on sale later this week. www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

Come for the giant pig, stay for Harold Bishop with a gun! @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social's The Big Scream: Six Feet Down Under takes over the Bristol Megascreen, 24-25 October 2025.

What a fun Ozploitation lineup, featuring more than enough deep cuts to satisfy the sickest among us. FAIR GAME! THIRST! BODY MELT! NEXT OF KIN!

Bloody excited to be introducing both classics and hidden gems at @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social's The Big Scream: Six Feet Down Under, a two day extravaganza celebrating all things Ozploitation on the 'humungus' Bristol Megascreen. Come witness the sickness on Oct 24-25, ya flamin' galahs!

now is the time for every media personality to stand up and speak out, because what this shows is that nothing will save you they’re coming for all of you, unless you’re a true believer your days are numbered and your bosses are eager to comply do something you can be proud of on your way out

It’s almost as if all of the mergers and conglomeration of media entities was done to make the rich richer and to make it genuinely impossible to peacefully protest by means of boycotts. It’s all obviously on purpose to minimise the volume of dissenting voices and the number of outlets for them.

They are literally canceling culture

I could almost understand pulling Kimmel if he'd said something vaguely offensive, but his comment was so innocuous that it only confirms America's spiral into fascism. Barely veiled FCC FCC + snowflakey broadcast partner is all it took for ABC to capitulate. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Robert Redford talking about how the Algerian War led him to interrogate his own understanding of the United States of America.

It's Tuesday, so time for another Indigenous Geographies thread! This thread will focus on defining settler colonialism. (1/)

President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

I mean, standing tix (presumably in the rear section) are apparently £165. I could go to 5-10 other gigs for that amount, at venues with decent sound where I can actually see the band, rather than watching on screens.

Fkn LOL.

America is violence, my dear. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust

it’s really interesting the right wants people removed from their jobs for saying insensitive things about Kirk’s death but didn’t want that for George Floyd’s death actually it’s not interesting, it’s just racist

Rapidly coming to the conclusion that everyone needs to spend a lot less time on the internet – EXCEPT journalists and cops, who evidently need to spend far more time online.

It is weird that the fbi director said “Valhalla” let’s not skip over that

The scenes on our streets are shameful consequences of decades of austerity - government after government fanning the flames of anti migration instead of tackling inequality. We can & must make different choices. Solidarity to all communities under attack. We stand together.

I cannot stop thinking about the sheer cognitive dissonance of this very specific part of the discourse.

political violence is happening in America literally every single day, round the clock, at scale, but nobody ever says "political violence has absolutely no place in our country" until a white right wing guy gets shot.

A must watch for those of you suddenly so interested in the topic of 'political violence'.

Most of our political class don't see anyone who isn't white as human. That's how they can help child murder in Palestine while being shocked by a far right pundit getting shot in the US. Children are getting shot every single day in Palestine and our government is helping. Be shocked at that!

also on the subject of political violence

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

I dunno seems like demanding trans people mourn for someone who wanted them exterminated is an act of political violence too.

On the off chance there's anyone out there who got a ticket purchase code in the Radiohead ballot for London (any date), and won't be using all four of their potential ticket spots, and feels like grabbing an extra standing ticket for muggins here, I'd be eternally grateful.

Numerous trans people are brutalized and killed every year and it's never once referred to as "political violence" that should be abhorred, despite the fact that every trans person in American is by default considered an "activist" by the media and politicians. "Condemn" that too motherfuckers!

In these trying times, at least there’s one thing we can all get behind… Jerry Seinfeld can get FUCKED (and not in the 17 year-old-girl-when-he’s-38-way, which the prick would clearly prefer).

Now would be a great time to read Loaded: A history of the second ammendment by Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz. Gun laws won't fix the US because the problem isn't the presence of guns. The problem is the ideology behind them, the reason why USians think they need to be constantly ready to defend themselves

Pay attention to this

If you live by America’s bonkers gun culture, you might just die by America’s bonkers gun culture

Oh look, a bad faith rogue state is acting in bad faith. Tolerating international lawlessness like this (and all the international lawlessness that preceded it) is a slippery, slippery slope.

Successfully interviewed Mr Wenham. Managed to slip in a question about his penchant for short shorts.

To paraphrase the @princecharlescinema.com, sod the sunshine, come on down!

In part because the ONLY reason Ohio State exists, like all the other so-called "land grant" universities, is because of colonizers' brutal genocides of our peoples, full-bore murderous campaigns of bloody, burnout extermination in service of land theft and white supremacy.

Just a couple of days until we get to watch David Wenham in nothing but leopard print undies & thongs on a very large screen. Oh, and he'll be there to chat about his beloved comic creation Johnny Spitieri too! Come join the Wenhamfest from 5pm this Sat, Sept 6, at Finsbury Park Picturehouse!

I missed this ad a month or so back, but very glad to have @zackpolanski.bsky.social as Greens leader. Down with divisive rhetoric, down with fascism, and power to the people. Onwards, upwards, always.

Our media really aren’t prepared for actual left wing politics are they

I love it when a plan comes together! But can we sell out a 200-seater in just over a week? We can certainly try. Come see David Wenham talk about his greatest comic creation, Johnny 'Spit' Spiteri + a rare big screen outing for the brilliant GETTIN' SQUARE + the UK premiere of its sequel, SPIT.

"Oh, but it's just an anti-mass immigration march." Fucking scumbags.

Might I suggest dismantling capitalism?

That'll do pig, that'll do.

It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed. It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it. More thoughts (un-paywalled) here: www.lamestream.com.au/how-mainstre...

'The PFA unequivocally condemns the 'March For Australia' rallies, their message, violence, and the harm they caused to Australia’s multicultural communities and our First Nations people.' Not too many football fans at the rallies; This is more than any trade union's done in response.
