Every business, government agency, media outlet and human person that continues to post on or go near X is consciously collaborating with the most openly white supremacist public figure since Hitler. There is no excuse.
If anyone on Bluesky uses Amazon - now is time to stop.

Don’t order anything from them.
Dont subscribe to any media they own.
Don’t go see next James Bond films.

Consumer boycotts work if enough people take action.
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
Spending the afternoon with Moby Grape.

Scapegoat by Charlie Campbell.

Explains #Trump agenda.
"we blame as we've always blamed, targeting minority and marginalised groups when things go wrong .. technology makes it easier to spread dangerous ideas .. whatever's wrong with us, there might not be a cure, but there's aways a culprit."
Kinda perverse & sad to make a beer celebrating the deaths of merchant sailors.

The song by Gordon Lightfoot is fittingly haunting; the beer is just crass marketing.
My grandparents fought against fascism.
My parents fled fascism.
My generation is watching the rise of fascism.
My children will face the consequences of US fascism.
Hope the people of #Cuba are safe.

Beautiful country & people - suffering for decades because they repelled America.
When I first had enough $ to buy a 70s Japanese amp, it was between Pioneer & Yamaha. Found the former for sale at good price & had it freighter over.

Then I bought a Luxman amp
And then another as a spare...

Also next generation. These are from your same Yamaha class (and sound suh-weet!):
Hawks & Doves by Neil Young is an underrated album.

Certainly better than many critical reviews at the time.

Note: there were no demonstrations, marches, public rallies, attacks on community groups, calls for boycotts, terrorist attacks or abuse when 150,000 Sudanese were slaughtered and 12 million without homes.

Currently, over 250,000 Sudanese face death from waring factions.

No one cares.
Looked at today’s news … then thought, fu*k it, let’s play jazz.

Her brother was well known for his excellent music taste. Sussan is a vinyl buyer, which shows turntables don’t discriminate.
Susan Braybrooks went to school in Canberra, a year younger than me at Dickson College, her brother and I hosted different shows on public radio 2XX - she was a young punk in the Canberra music scene and would have clearly known about Joy Division, what a completely disingenous hypocrite..
#SussanLey plumbs new depths of pathetic desperation. Who advises the poor woman? #auspol

And gee - going after #JoyDivision. That's the way to get the youth onside.

Dear Neil Young.
Bought the vinyl on release. Then got the CD, cause I’m OCD about #Music.
Now it’s 4 records remastered with extra tracks.

It’s Christmas soon, man; how about just sending be the f-ing box as a loyalty reward?

#MusicSky #NeilYoung
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm.

Got taken to see them years ago without knowing anything about their music (I know!)

Since then I’ve picked up most of their #vinyl releases & seen them a few times.

Not sure their albums capture how impressive they are live.
I played this to a person I was keen on forming a relationship with.

She didn’t like. Asked me to play Supertramp.

End of the affair.

#MusicSky #JerryGarcia
I go back to this one a lot

Jerry Garcia Band - Don’t Let Go
Orpheum Theatre San Francisco
May 21,1976

#vinylcommunity #nowspinning #musicsky #vinylsky
One of the greatest songs ever recorded.

The 7” single sounds way better than album or CD, it’s cut super loud & has a punch like no other version.

This blew my mind as a kid, and still does.
❤️
(May 1970) "Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting, end the war." 👇👇

Dad would watch Daktari every time it was on TV.

I reckon he had a similar crush.
Cheryl Miller, as Paula, in "Daktari", with co-star Clarence The Cross-eyed Lion. I had a crush on one of these two when I was eleven. (Clue: it wasn't Clarence)
Never buy anything from #Amazon.

Not just because they target customers for abuse but because they enable fascism & the destruction of America.

And Bozo’s wife will make a shit Bond girl 😄
Hey folks! For those of you confused, this is antisemitism.

I’ve read all your accounts on the genocidal history of Australia’s First Nations people.

Sorry, I mean your tweets from the couch denying David Marr’s researched history.

#Whitewasher
Great score.

I have the reissue as I’ve never even seen the original.

#Vinyl #Envy
Always wanted a clean original of this 1968 pre-Jefferson Airplane LP by The Great Society, Grace Slick's 1st band. Usually these are beat up so I had a late 70s repress which was ok. This almost perfect "OG" from that garage sale last weekend sounds great. Cover is super nice too. #musicsky #music.
Prime Minister Albanese & Albo the music fan should be separated.

Albo was going to gigs in Sydney since early 80s long before he was elected. You’d see him at Birdman, Rifles, Saints, Sunnyboys shows.

He’s been buying vinyl & supporting Indi bands for decades.
how it feels explaining early 2000s hipster history to young people
Family watching it too, but maybe the result isn’t what we want 😟
Got to say, really enjoying AFLW
It's a truly haunting place to visit.
I've been to the killing fields outside Phnom Penh, so this is today's movie 🤷🏼‍♂️
