My vinyl collection has re-started. I’ve been looking for this album for years. “X: Live at the Whisky A Go-Go on the Fabulous Sunset Strip” is one of the greatest live albums of all time. And now I finally have my own copy. Now I just need a turntable, amp, and speakers. #babysteps #80s #punkrock

Government secrecy and obfuscation was one of the key reasons we chucked out Morrison and his putrid pals. What the hell is the former Minister for Gambling doing now?

Horrific footage circulating of the National Socialist Network attacking the peaceful Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne. We've heard the main targets of their extreme violence were women.

Utilities used to be just power, water, and sewerage. Then comms, first voice then data, then specific flavours of data; music, video, etc. Now machine intelligence is about to become another utility. Just another monthly subscription to add to the pile.

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.
