NSW Police is putting out the story that this powerful event came perilously close to disaster.
NSW Police were the ones who made the mid-event decision to block the northern end of the Bridge, instead of having a plan to funnel protestors safely off it and to train stations on the north shore. 1/

He got the Shishido to try and be taken more seriously… hey, it worked once

#27 MY BLOODY VALENTINE - Only Shallow (1992)

If you made bets with people that this and Deceptacon weren’t singles you’d probably be a millionaire by the end of the day.

They did the meme.

A warning from history here. Jokes that go over your head are so necessary for kids. Pee-Wee to The Simpsons to MST3K make you *curious*. When you're spoon-feeding people "at their level", something they already know and like, you're intentionally just training consumers. And that's all AI will do.

As far as I understand it's a progression of moral panic starting with Enter The Dragon's nunchucks that reached its height with the "video nasty" era (ninjaspoitation's peak). I do think Labour are intentionally echoing Thatcherism as a way to appear tuff + head off Reform, but it's fucking moronic

I have next to nothing good to say about the NYT but if you want an example of how bad journalism is in Canada consider that The Globe And Mail in comparison just posted the editorial opinion “Israel must stop helping Hamas to win”

It is so weird that the most consistent policy of the UK government for my entire lifetime has been “we’re scared of ninjas”

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them.

are you fucking kidding me

Philz is actually one of the only chain coffee places I liked, absolutely fucking blows to see the employees get screwed here so that some private equity dicks can load the company with more debt and exit in 5 years with suitcases full of money

The slogan “Free Palestine from German Guilt” hit the nail on the head and this is why it was so despised by German elites, even more than “From the River…”

#26 The Fall - Bill Is Dead (1990)

As basic bitch as a The Fall track selection could possibly get, Mark E. Smith declining to release it as a single out of, I assume, embarrassment at being so genuine. Well, too bad Mark, you made something vulnerable and beautiful and we all saw it!!!

Dungeon Delving in Ultima Underworld I’ve accidentally put together a syllabus for myself lately with the games I’m playing. What started as a modest desire to replay the Thief series went widely off the rails as my ongoing thoughts...

I've been playing many dungeon games and I want to talk about them!

mooost games (like 96% of them?) are about how players negotiate with the world around them. Ultima Underworld is EXTREMELY about that. Does that make it the MOST GAME ever? let's explore...

Anti-zionism is anti-racism. You cannot carve out support for an apartheid state. It is nonsensical and everyone knows this, to the point that liberals, at best, rely on pretending to be in denial about it.

This view must be what it's like when you are a waiter in a curry house and you walk out into the restaurant just after the Reform meeting next door has finished.

DAIVA Story 6: Imperial of Nirsartia (T&E Soft, 1986) - exp. Not worth going blind over.

Unlocked post: T&E Soft made a seven part space opera and for some reason you can play the sixth part on Switch Online. But should you? On DAIVA Story 6: Imperial of Nirsartia:

I do like the ones mentioned but...

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Like I imagine there are tens of thousands of people listening to music on their computer in roughly similar quality to if they had a rotary telephone attached to their ear with no idea there's anything they can do about it. The audio device settings actually *lie* to you about the audio quality!
