Jorts: no or fuck no.

I would take this more seriously if we didn't elect the most extreme president in modern history a few months ago over a Dem that almost exclusively campaigned to centrists.

Solidarity has taken a turn in Fitzroy & brought the power down due to local road works instead of capitalism itself

BREAKING | Bitcoin value plunges amid major market worries

Extraordinary evidence from ASIO that they still haven't listed the National Socialist Network as a terror network despite their proclaimed Nazi ideology and threats against police and judges. These guys are so bad even twitter banned them!

If you want to know how concerned to be about climate change, talk to a climate scientist. Very. If you want to know how concerned to be about the rise of fascism, talk to a historian. The ones I’ve spoken to are as concerned about our time as any other time in the last 100 years.

Albo mocking families of radicalised young people on Four Corners tonight: SICKENING. These families are desperate for intervention and community based support. They have NOTHING and no one, except police. The only answer the government has is more laws and mandatory sentences.

Meanwhile the genocide continues as Israel refuses to let even tents into Gaza (while preparing to restart the bombing) and continues shooting youngsters in the West Bank www.aljazeera.com/program/news...

"They offered him boxing lessons, health and fitness, and then slowly haul them in until you find your kid at their monthly gatherings while they're reading from Hitler's delusional Mein Kampf as if it's the Bible." Disturbing work by Avani Dias & team. Watch tonight’s 4 Corners 8.30 ABC TV & iView.

Heartbreaking news from the Alexander Maconochie Centre as we mourn the loss of two Aboriginal men in custody just days apart. Howard Hall, 38 & a 73-year-old, both deserve better. We must demand justice and accountability for those who suffer in our systems #EndInjustice apple.news/AQ0BzVTa8RiK...

My preferred way to wake up w a headache and regret tomorrow

Last of 7 shows in 8 days (all by one travel show / fly dates). Slightly delirious ✔️ body falling apart at every orifice ✔️ coffee not doing anything ✔️

Newly released Palestinian prisoner Ahmed Dababesh learns from his father that Israel killed his wife and daughter while he was in captivity, receiving the heartbreaking news as he returns to Gaza.

Important story from @skirchy.bsky.social - WhatsApp says journalists and civil society members were targets of Israeli spyware www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I cannot get over hearing “Bonjour” in a Sofitel in extreme bogan areas such as The Gold Coast. The should also have to say ouais non check out is at 11

Brisbane: it’s boomer for ‘land of many leaf blowers’

We had Kim Salmon as opener on recent show for The Hard Quartet (Malkmus, Jim White, Emmet Kelly, Matt Sweeny) and he was incredible. I described his tone as “all in the fingers like the blues masters. Intense, powerful yet beautiful” No slouch transcendent gtr himself Malkmus said “you nailed it”

Trans people exist and the military should be banned. Both of these things can be true.

It’s crazy how a popular art form can suddenly stop having any cultural relevance at all, like mime or rock music

The reason “cute winter boots” is taking off isn’t because it’s some secret code (the code has already been revealed and all of MAGA tiktok has made videos on it) it’s bc using product-focused language allows users to circumvent algorithmic downranking. They’re hijacking TikTok’s e-commerce push.

Gotta say the copaganda on the ACAB vehicles is a real own goal. “900 off work sick”, “burnt out” “wouldn’t tell anyone to do this job”. Their words.

I haven’t been on the streets for a while for *reasons* but standing in solidarity with Indigenous Peoples was rejuvenating.

My Hotest 100 takes: defund the police

I dunno man I’m getting influx of fr requests from old mate music industry. On one hand I have little interest in talking abt gigs online & on the other why give energy/time to people who have zero solidarity in anything that actually matters. High five our mutual achievement of being born w a penis

I think a key point that Lynch taught us (like Burroughs) is that there are no coincidences just levels of understanding and meaning.

Can AI help identify depression from the voices of CEOs on financial earnings calls? A new paper I wrote up for @economist.com's Espresso suggests so

@yashalevine.bsky.social has released his doco on the Resnicks ‘Pistachio Wars’. It’s very good. And timely w the fires in LA. open.substack.com/pub/yasha/p/...

Wait till cultural elites find out about current effects of climate change on the global south.

The words “climate change” do not appear anywhere on the front page

World breaches 1.5C warming target in 2024 while 78-yr-old climate activist Gaie Delap languishes in a UK prison for having demonstrated to 'Stop Oil'. And yet there are people who continue to think that we, in the West, live in rational lib democracies www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🚨DECODING SKY NEWS🚨 We don’t want people to be concerned about climate change because that is bad for fossil fuel profits so we’ll blame Californian winter wild fires on - looks around for a scapegoat - the Democrats, diversity and environmentalists.

Which @jasonhickel.bsky.social de-growth book would one start with?

Monash University has today admitted to a fresh round of wage theft from casual teachers. Australia’s largest uni has underpaid teachers a further $7.6m, taking Monash’s total underpayments to $17.6m since 2021

Accused by a whistleblower of covering up an oil spill that killed dolphins and sea snakes, Santos get fined just $10k 🤯 Santos spends up to $US3.3m per year on a private jet for their executives so I don’t think AUD10k is going to hurt them. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...
