About fucking time.

Well bugger me I thought they were going to present the downsides

Damn I believe now you have to legally start MAGAing (or do some self reflection but who has time for that between beers)

Indie pop rocks is my go to when I don’t know what I’m in the mood for.

And their Xmas stations are always great

Reread my comment.

WTF even is this?

This looks like a lazy Australian remake of a stupid USian meme.

The fact that voting for the Greens in Australia is actually a meaningful thing, in that it can put candidates in government. Pretty much negates the whole concept of this garbage.

Anyway voting is in itself not the problem. Relying on voting as the only avenue for change is the problem. Expecting inattentive voters to see past the daily propaganda they are exposed to and vote for meaningful change is the problem. Expecting cynical voters to see past both of these issues is the problem.

Shit Governments, with member controlled by vested interests is the symptom, not the cause.

I ran Parabola for a year. Definitely authoritarian

That top left hand corner could be filled with a selection of these: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html

It’s a straight line.

(Assuming it’s statistically accurate)

You can’t just ask them to their faces. Of course they’re going to deny it.

It’s understood that Albanese and Burke were quite upset, but the Israel lobby promised to donate another few thousand to the ALP and they were instantly put at easy

To be fair they were saving it for the book they were going to release after the Trump administration was ousted.

I’d say empathy is more relevant here than intelligence.

Assuming this is true and that the new Ayatollah is also dead. How funny will it be if Iran and Israel have to both bring their dead leaders to peace talks.

I remember how refreshing this album was at the time and going back and finding Nothings Shocking and being just amazed.

Then Perry Farrell opened his mouth, when he wasn’t singing and I completely lost all interest.

The identity behind the mask is irrelevant. The mystery was never the point it is just part of the art.

Banksy might be whoever they’ve uncovered now but like the Dread Pirate Roberts it can be someone else tomorrow.

Brazil was meant to be a fever dream not a fucking premonition of the future

I was never a big fan of Elvis nor Led Zeppelin but I do love Dread Zeppelin.

Peaceful marches are a start. They give a chance for Jill and Joe Suburbanite to do something, not too scary, to show that they aren’t happy. The next time, they bring their friends, who also aren’t happy. The crowd gets bigger. They feel more free to express that they aren’t just not happy. They are angry. They bring more friends and find themselves near the front of the March leading the chants. They feel empowered. They bring more friends. They are now on the stage giving rousing speeches, inspiring others. They bring more friends. They have a balaclava in their back pocket, a burner phone, an umbrella, some milk in a small water bottle. They have no more friends to bring. There is a state sanctioned murder. They take to the streets with their brothers and sisters with whom they’ve been peacefully marching. They return the tear gas canisters. They subdue the overwhelmed security forces, they claim the small victories. A leader takes up their cause. They may win, they may be crushed. It will be bloody, lives will be lost.

No one starts with violence. Even though it’s the only way to win.

That’s completely not true. Look at the register of interests, few properties, many private companies. They are obviously not property investors, just simple business people. Those private companies, of course, make their money from, you guessed it, property investment
