Gratefully Australian. Unapologetically anti-fascist.
I don’t know if you know this, but if you want to read a book, and your public library doesn’t have the book, you can ask them to order it and the usually will. Then other people can also read the awesome books after you. How good is that? @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

I mean, I can see a team up happening but I don’t really know how to explain Mr Squiggle and the Magic Pudding to you. The koala is a total mystery but I think he fell on hard times.

I was really please to see Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by @claymcleod.bsky.social on display at the library. This is a suburban library in Melbourne, Australia. Someone at the branch has good taste.

Would you believe Fairy Tale is the 64th @stephenking.bsky.social book I’ve read. I thought it would be in the 40s. Ten to go (and hopefully many more to come).

The US oligarchs currently kowtowing to Trump should really take a closer look at how oligarchs have fared under Putin. www.npr.org/2025/02/04/n...
![The oligarchs didn't take the hint
"Very early on, two of the most prominent of the first generation, Vladimir Gusinsky, who is a real entrepreneur, who had a television station and a prominent newspaper, [was] forced out. Boris Berezovsky, who had helped make Yeltsin and was even involved in picking Putin and had the biggest television station, [was] forced out. And then in 2003, [Putin] had a big roundtable with all the remaining businessmen. And at this roundtable, one of the remaining oligarchs, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, made a comment that suggested that the Kremlin was trying to extract … a big payoff in an oil company sale. And Putin was furious. And this remark was followed by Khodorkovsky's arrest."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:65akhbcndnacc3gsdyeva54a/bafkreichoyrosr65uebunl5pgs7jvrmntq7oeiosqrbrediqdmpz7oq2ra@jpeg)

Well, the internet’s been out for over an hour. Having a giggle that the Bluray of Children of Men warned me that Bluray is a new technology and some features may not work on all player.
At least it works and 🙏🏻 for physical media.

Tesla sales tanking by 60% in Australia is not the good news I want but it’s a silver lining I’ll take.

We are not living in unprecedented times. They are quite precedented.
We are not in uncharted territory. These territories have been extensively charted.
We may be living on the ̶d̶a̶r̶k̶e̶s̶t̶ dumbest timeline though. And I’m not sure what to do with that.

What were your first horror movie and the one that scared you the most?
Mine are The Evil Dead – which scared the pants of me when I was 14 – and Sinster which had no right to be that creepy. #horrorthreads

It says everything when people proclaim diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies as a problem, but nepotism and cronyism are business as usual.
It’s racism, bigotry and exclusion, pure and simple.

I’m genuinely loving the new nicknames for the Nazi’s cars (you know who I mean).
Which do you like more?

B) Trashpanzers (mostly for Cybertrucks)

Outside of the usual suspects, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes has to be the buzziest horror novel of 2025. Sometimes you just gotta listen to the people. You have my money @claymcleod.bsky.social

was checking to see if anyone was setting their Teslas on fire after Elon’s Nazi salute but it seems the cars already do that by design.

It’s worth noting the parallels between Trump’s government and Hitler’s dismantling of German democracy. He’s already shown he’s going to move fast in whatever actions he chooses to take and he’s already wrong footed his opponents. Read How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days archive.md/3Yla4
