In case you're not aware, to get a entertainment / performance visa to the US requires being able to show you're bringing something into the US that rhe country can't produce by itself.

Mull that around. You may be a respected European metal band, yet, some ICE brown shirt gets to decide your worth
Numerous metal / rock festivals in the US have had to be cancelled over the last 9 months due to it becoming increasingly difficult for European bands to get entertainment visas.

Now, that's surely not an issue for an act as big as Queen, but, to hear Sir Brian saying "nope" is also quite a thing.

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26:

• Alex Pretti
• Renee Good
• Keith Porter
• Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
• Victor Manuel Diaz
• Parady La
• Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
• Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
• Geraldo Lunas Campos

They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

ALSO it cannot be stated enough that whenever the Greens have spoken/do speak about the environment, we're called tree-hugging loonies who can't be taken seriously! It's almost like the rich and powerful just want to shut down any critique of the status quo ...
Another trope I've heard a couple of times recently is that "the Greens used to be the party of environmentalism ...and they should go back to being just that"

...despite the fact we've more than doubled our number of MPs in that time 🤔
Literally thinking about this in the NZ context today, why is it always "the Greens should try to appeal to dairy farmers and people who drive Humvees" and not "NZ First should try to appeal to people who went to university and believe in human rights"

Pascal's wager is the dumbest shit.

You think an allegedly omnipotent god isn't gonna see through the fact that the full extent of your apparent belief is just hedging bets?

I just got an email from LiveJournal (it's still around) wishing me a 21st LiveJournal birthday.

Guess I'll start investigating rest homes in the morning.

This blue-check account on Twitter posted the "first ever colourisation" of one of the oldest photographs of Nintendo's headquarters, which they did with Grok AI. As a result the image includes several distortions.

Meanwhile, I did my own colourisation by hand of this image five years ago.
