Regrowth, rewild,
re:vital, no child
left behind,
Before no wild
left behind,
ecosocial not ecocidal
Mutual aid or no survival,
from the egomaniacal,
death drive's revival,
of CEOs and their rivals,
Derive new goals & new means,

AFP investigates Lidia Thorpe’s claim she would ‘burn down’ Parliament House

Senator says her words at Melbourne pro-Gaza rally were ‘a metaphor’ and the reaction to them ‘mock outrage’ that distracts from Palestinian suffering * Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The Australian federal police has said it is investigating whether independent senator Lidia Thorpe’s claim to a pro-Palestinian rally in Melbourne that she would “burn down” Parliament House has breached legislation. Thorpe told the rally on Sunday: “We stand with you every day, and we will fight every day, and we will turn up every day, and if I have to burn down Parliament House to make a point … I am not there to make friends.” Continue reading...

56) Videodrome (1983, dir. David Cronenberg) #Filmsky 📽️

The 4k from Arrow arrived today, so finishing my weekend off with one of Cronenberg's best.

Poster for Videodrome. The poster shows a drawing of a person sitting in a chair, shown from the side. They have an odd shaped box over their head. In the background is a wall of 12 TV screens showing various images of violence. A large red hand holding a gun (which is merged into the flesh) is raised in front of the screens.

The radical left COMMUNISTS and their UPRISING OF THE BARNYARD, is turning cities into a WARZONE. Only I DONALD J TRUMP can DEFEAT this ORWELLIAN TERROR.

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'…

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

Can’t wait for the Albanese government to come out and say loudly how interfering with other nations’ ships on international waters is illegal and to be condemned*

Huge rally for Free Palestine today - I think the biggest ever. South Australian’s want a just, lasting peace, Palestinian statehood and self-determination, hostages free, pursuit of war criminals and an end to any Australian public investment in armaments.

LOL if there's one thing GenZ love, it's AI (citation needed)

At the dinner, attended by about 20 candidates, several told the new leader the party had lost the social media battle during the election campaign. Labor were quicker, savvier, and used more AI to generate content, they told Ley, recounting the event on condition of anonymity.

This was a symptom, they said, of the Liberals failing to reach a critical demographic: gen Z and millennials.

Stop selling us out, ya clown. Future made in Australia means building products out of those minerals, not handing them to America.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

This is a good little entry-level horror of the "broke in to the wrong house" variety, I probably would've enjoy it a lot as a kid.

Although, it has some pretty deep themes about inequality and racialized accumulation by dispossession. 6.8/10

Matt The Irrefutable @irrefutablematt.bsky.social · 1d

Glad to help. Surprised I've never seen it, seems like I probably should've seen it as a kid too.

Matt The Irrefutable @irrefutablematt.bsky.social · 1d

I've actually never seen this before, which is weird. Heard lots about it.
