YouTube video by Dr. Nuno C. Sousa, Psychoanalyst The Cramps at the California State Mental Hospital in Napa - Concert 1978

If through some inexplicable lack of curiosity you have never seen the 20-minute video tape of the Cramps playing live to the inmates of the Napa State Mental Hospital, and you need something to restore your faith in humanity, press play on this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jnk...

I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but the attacks on Iran are patently illegal. It’s galling that rather than standing up in defence of international law, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister have as good as cheered the US and Israel on for this latest illegal action. #auspol #politas

Thank you, this was very clarifying. I’ve been getting caught up in some of the little narratives you mentioned. The big picture is what matters.

The USA/Israel will fail in Iran. Just as they failed in Iraq. Afghanistan.... Vietnam.... Failure is the plan. Once you see the model, you can dismantle it.... USA/Israel Will Fail In Iran. And that is the plan.

The USA/Israel will fail in Iran. Just as they failed in Iraq. Afghanistan.... Vietnam.... This is all explained in the Epstein files.
Failure is the plan.
Humanity must learn the model -- to reclaim the tools of civilization.

Well, true. I am not anti-war in every situation but this is a fairly unambiguous one I think. The reasons are very poor, the decision is a bad one.

1000%. Time to start demanding better because we’ve seen where the old system leads. I was relieved to hear the Greens making anti-war statements… and grateful…. But that does not mean not calling them in on anything they get wrong.

Yes, totally agree. Corruption laws are weak and even if it doesn’t reach that level there’s too much that is accepted as “the way it works.”

Post from the AEU Tas branch on FB. Text reads: AEU members are escalating further industrial action, starting with work bans, in response to the Rockliff Government's shameful refusal to negotiate a fair deal for Tasmanian educators. Bans currently in place: X No administering or supporting NAPLAN assessments X No NAPLAN practice X No identifying, recording or reporting staff participation in industrial action X Principals not to monitor, record, or report on industrial activity X No assisting in creation/distribution of DECYP promotional activities X Union members may wear/display union materials, distribute union materials to school and broader community, and speak to media

AEU members in Lutruwita are escalating further industrial action “in response to the Rockliff Government's shameful refusal to negotiate a fair deal for Tasmanian educators.”

Solidarity with teachers, you deserve better!

Ah I see. Thank you. Of course they would have ways to camouflage their involvement. Perhaps Carlson doesn’t know or perhaps he doesn’t understand the way these things are typically handled by Western media. I guess it will be all revealed one day but sooner would be good.

Fair. I do agree the Greens should be pushed to fight Labor more on their key issues. It's just... you know, unfortunately we have this shitty system where no one but Labor or Lib can form government. It isn't healthy for the Greens either and I hope it can somehow change.

Don't you get it? They do really craaaazy stuff like reading from old books, dressing up, not eating at times, not eating certain meats. Their leaders don't respect human rights at all and they even toruture people. Sure, Israelis and Americans do *some* of those but like... Iranians don't drink!

Yeah...There are companies that I would have once found okay that I now would hesitate to be involved with. It's so confusing that some of the most compromised companies also make a lot of very progressive content (see also Made Up Stories). Don't envy anyone trying to finance film & TV right now.

Probably smart. I always assumed that she was more ethical and trying to use some of her family’s obscene wealth for good. But I didn’t know her father was the largest US donor of the IDF. In retrospect, not sure my assumption was actually based on anything.

They are so gross. I was just wondering where Megan Ellison is in all of this. I assumed that Annapurna was defunct because I don't hear much about it any more... but it's not. She just skates under the radar and therefore filmmakers think she's okay?

Not that it may not be correct, just... you know. Tucker Carlson.

I can only see stories where Tucker Carlson is the source.. is there anything more trustworthy?

The dismantling of the Tasmanian government department State Growth proves one thing: the Rockliff Government lied to Tasmanians.

25% of the State Growth workforce will be slashed.

They repeatedly said no job cuts and no cuts to public services.

Hand drawn cartoon/meme showing a child sleeping happily in bed. The text above them reads: Innocent children. Above them a soldier dressed in camouflage gear is floating in the air, holding his arms wide and raining down daggers, grenades and bombs. This figure is labelled: US military.

With improved alt text.

us military.... innocent children

Yes… and no shade on anyone who finds it helpful for whatever language. I’m just over anything that is presented unasked for. Doesn’t engender trust.

Glad to have never used that. I’m at the point now of turning off all suggestions for word processing. I will turn on spellcheck at the end but I hate the unrequested grammar stuff now. The AI push has pushed me the other way.

I mean, the German Nazis were pretty keen to scapegoat most minority groups. I do agree there’ll be a clash between those two interests at some point though. Let’s hope it’s soon and they mutually destruct.

Iran blames Israel for Saudi Aramco drone attack, calls it ‘false flag’ Iran has accused Israel of carrying out a drone attack on facilities belonging to Saudi oil giant Saudi Aramco, describing it as a “false flag” operation. Iran’s Tasnim News Agency quoted a militar…

Also some of the attacks maybe are not Iran

I think that is under Nazis? Granted it looks a little different than it has in the past but… basically.

Things you won’t see/hear in legacy media.

Well, they have tended to support the most progressive major party. Should they go with the least progressive? They also take stances against said party when necessary, like now. How is that not useful?

THE UGLY STEPSISTER: Body Horror At The Oscars The writer/director of one of the year's best films joins her makeup team to discuss the film's many FX challenges, and its nomination at the Academy Awards.

Ahead of the Oscars, I spoke with director Emilie Blichfeldt and makeup designers Thomas Foldberg and Anne Catherine Saurberg about their excellent film, The Ugly Stepsister, and what that nomination means for a film like this. Read it here:

Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.

What could go wrong?

Here we go again.
You bastard for supporting these monsters.
Attacking hospitals, again.
