Just watched the first episode of Lazarus, a new anime from the director of Cowboy Bebop, featuring music by Floating Points, Bonobo and Kamasi Washington...and action sequences designed by John Wick director Chad Stahelski. So far it's as good as it sounds, by which I mean very. #Anime #adultswim

I miss @arcrup.bsky.social ! Anyone heard from him? @ricrus77.bsky.social @shelleyr.bsky.social @cbortlearts.bsky.social @shlepcar.bsky.social @trollingstones.bsky.social @sherricola.bsky.social @grahamh.bsky.social @charlysometimes.bsky.social @mybloodyvinyltime.bsky.social #art

The Trump regime & GOP are openly supporting European Nazis. Enough of a red line for you, @albomp.bsky.social? Or will you continue to tie Australia's foreign and defence policy even tighter to American fascism? While shutting down any debate on #AUKUS and the US 'alliance'? #FarRight #auspol

Happy holidays, sky friends! Remember, it's OK to listen to good music. Don't let anyone force you to listen to Michael Bublé. <3 Isn't Anything (1988) - My Bloody Valentine #nowspinning #musicsky #vinyl #nowplaying

NSW has passed legislation that positions anti-genocide protesters to blame for the Bondi attack. This unexamined, deceptive, ambiguous groupthink is completely without evidence. Mass, indiscriminate, blatant murder is driving hate. This is why Netanyahu and Ley immediately blamed Albanese.

And then there's this guy... Thelonious Alone In San Francisco (1959) - Thelonious Monk #nowspinning #musicsky #vinyl #nowplaying #jazz

Up next.. You could say this short-lived Olympia band were riot grrrl adjacent, but they allegedly preferred the term "rock band", so I will respect that. They played with Sleater-Kinney, Unwound, The Donnas etc. Tiger Beat (1998) - Bangs #nowspinning #musicsky #vinyl #nowplaying

The Smiths recorded their debut album twice. This unofficial release contains the first version, produced by Troy Tate (The Teardrop Explodes). If you ever thought their music was overproduced, this is for you. The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (rec. 1983) - Smiths #nowspinning #vinyl #nowplaying

The worst ppl in the🌎 opportunistically seize to shove through pre-existing agendas We’re being asked to believe that pro-Palestinian protests caused the shooting. It’s self-evidently moronic. No one sincerely believes it. They’re just pretending to get protests banned & criticism of Israel outlawed

2/ Minns : “I want to make it absolutely clear that anyone who is interested in whipping up racial hatred or violence or disunity in our community will be smashed by NSW police. There is zero tolerance for it right now.” Gotta say: NSW police had YUGE tolerance for it on NOV 8.

#auspol I wonder if the 3 month protest ban (ostensibly brought on by antisemitic attack) applies to actual nazis/white nationalists? #fucknazis

#auspol Meanwhile, on facebook... #slop

Wouldn’t normally repost boxing But Chase fulfilled a dream many of us have

Zionists exploit Bondi killings to attack dem rights, silence criticism of Israel. The premier is further dividing a community that is already trying to heal in an environ filled with misinformation & hateful rhetoric. We cannot have calm & cohesion with a gov eroding our democratic freedoms #Auspol

Thirty minutes left to vote!

#auspol Kind of unsurprising, considering we're dealing with Minns&co here. Still infuriating though. Cowards. The blood on your hands will never wash off. #freepalestine #fuckyourban

Yeah, making it illegal to protest a genocide is going to help 🙄

Diversity of tactics, comrades

Great, long article in Zeit about Neo-Luddism and our Luddite Tribunal in Brooklyn last month. This piece really sets the scene and includes some choice quotes from me and @bcmerchant.bsky.social. Love to see such a sympathetic discussion of Luddism in a major newspaper. www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

#auspol My favourite source of tech news (and critique), with a guest familiar to many of us here in so-called "Australia"! Our home-grown social media ban on the chopping block today. @parismarx.com , @cameronwilson.bsky.social looking forward to this one! #tech #socialmediaban

#auspol Looks like the nazi cowards are focusing their efforts on #Sydney for the upcoming Invasion Day / March 4 WHITE Australia event On that note: has our beloved antisemitism envoy even mentioned the ACTUAL NAZIS yet? Or still too busy vilifying anti-genocide protesters? #fuckNAZIS

In half an hour Trump will come on TV to declare that we have always been at war with eastasia, I mean Venezuela.

42 faith leaders blockaded the entrance to San Francisco’s federal immigration court yesterday in an action that *shut down the courts* for the day.

#auspol Everyone ready for @albomp.bsky.social to do exactly this?

Oh man I didn't even know he'd passed away. A very belated RIP to one of the most innovative post-hardcore artists of all time ❤️

... next, picking up the pace with this face-melter Feed Me Weird Things (1996, [2021 - 25th anniversary edition w/ bonus 10"]) - Squarepusher #nowspinning #musicsky #vinyl #nowplaying

@parismarx.com and @ketanjoshi.co dig into the disastrous climate implications of Ai data centres and the industry's dodgy dealings with the fossil fuel industry. Long story short, we don't stand a chance of combating climate change if we don't stop the data centre roll-out. #auspol #fuckAI

#auspol With regards to the recent public debates about protest tactics and unity on the left, I thought this snippet of the old manifesto seemed poignant. A reminder that we all have a common enemy, and it takes all sorts to bring it down. @tomtanuki.bsky.social
