Kirsten Drysdale interviews a guy who does "acting" jobs for online companies.

His insights (fully explored in another video - link in this video's description) into the industry are interesting, and worth listening to.

The Mist From the Mountains - Monumental

Finnish atmospheric black metal, steeped in the tales of folklore. Harsh and cold, the way it should be.

Mnemic - The Audio Injected Soul

Danish metalcore band with a good sense of groove. I reckon this was their best album... topped off by an excellent cover of "Wild Boys".

Politicians still trying to suck up to the man even after he's dead.

He was vile, racist, misogynist and divisive - hardly the sort of person who should be eulogised by the State.

And our PM's Tweet about the man... Fuck me...

The Moth Gatherer - The Comfortable Low

I can't argue that this EP is completely representative of the rest of this Swedish band's catalogue, but it's where I started. They're a sludgy, post-hardcore group - this is a touch more melodic.

The previous, Liberal governments have been just *awful* and their excesses, failures, rorts and fuck-ups will be the gold standard for terrible government for a while yet.

However, @australianlabor.bsky.social appears to be vying for the crown.

Be better!

@ettemedia.bsky.social, re: 5.11.25 podcast ep.

I could be wrong, but that listicle in The Economist appears to be an attempt at satire rather than real posts from real people from the Pond of Self-Congratulation that is LinkedIn.

Anthrax - Sound of White Noise

Usually, I pick out bands because I reckon they're worth checking out... this time I pick an album because it is the only one in their catalogue I like. SoWN stands supreme in the prog-groove-thrash.

I wasn't sure I could think less of the AFL than I did.

This may move the needle.

Rewarding more mediocrity to partially fill a hole in the schedule that a previous, stupid rule created.

Idiocy. Pure and simple.

36 Crazyfists - Rest Inside The Flames

Now-defunct, but these guys put out a collection of really strong metalcore albums before calling it quits. I particularly enjoyed the vocal stylings.

Years ago, a neighbour recommended the Knightfall series of Batman comics to me and loaned me the trade paperbacks.

I'm not a big superhero comics fan, but I really enjoyed the series.

As I re-read them (purchased my own copies), I'm reminded of how good they are.

Outlaw - Opus Mortis

Black metal from Brazil. Contains a certain *driving* quality that I appreciate in the genre... a lot of it "sits back", whereas this version "leans forward". I hope that makes sense.

So, the ACCC found that MS had engaged in deceptive practices by forcing people onto the Co-pilot-enabled Office without explaining that they could stay with their non-AI version.

I got this email yesterday.

Note the highlighted part.

You *can* stay with the basic version... but it'll stay basic.

In a country where an individual can amass a billion dollars, it's shameful that people can be sick and uneducated.

Not everyone can afford to buy a house or eat expensive food; that's fine, but government has failed to tap the excesses of capitalism and provide the basics for the rest.
