Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

There's no way I'm having my face scanned / credit card info passed on or supplying ID documents for fucking bluesky.
I cannot stress enough to any other Australians to please avoid KWS verification like the plague.
I was checking through what bluesky's verification was and just immediately with this.
If you don't know, KWS had a data breech and it was confirmed user data was stolen that was supposed to be deleted

Rest In Peace, D'Angelo. Man, what a profound loss. A true artist to his core, who seemed to have no limit to his talent. Blessed to exist in a time where I could enjoy his musical gifts and witness his live performances. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. www.npr.org/2025/10/14/n...
D'Angelo, R&B's reluctant icon, has died at 51
The expressive singer made just three albums, including his 1995 debut, Brown Sugar, but retreated from the public after each. He had been battling cancer, according to a statement from his family.

Speaking of upcoming #Prince releases, I totally missed this one - how many versions of Purple Rain does one need? Remasters (let's not mention the 2015 debacle), Deluxe Editions, Dolby Atmos mixes, 180-gram LPs. Now a "One-Step' vinyl for $100 USD. I mean... www.plaidroomrecords.com/products/pre...
[PRE-ORDER] Prince - Purple Rain [One-Step] [Release Date: 10/03/2025]
One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing. Because Sound Matters' meticulous One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of the all-time classic album, Prince ‘Purple Rain’...

I see this news has gone down like a lead balloon among #Prince fans, understandably, due to the lack of unreleased / rare material. I love ATWIAD & will probably pick up the CD (so I can have those mixes in one set), but yeah. Not interested in any vinyl though, my original pressing is just fine.

I've had to use so much restraint after this latest adidas #LFC merch drop. I've only ordered the one item... think I've done alright. 😅

What a start to the season. And what a window (!) #LFC

What sets Dâm apart from his contemporaries is a total reliance on, and mastery of, old gear; that's how some of these tracks swing like the best of Mtume while bouncing, kicking, and squirming like Zapp and early Prince.

The album that turned me from a #Prince fan to a complete devotee. I’ll never tire of Controversy. #nowplaying

I just saw Kamasi Washington and his band in concert on their Fearless Movement tour. To experience these musicians live is always a blessing. Just incredible!

Well, that’s my work week done. I haven’t posted much in quite a while, it’s been a heavy time for a multitude of reasons. I hope everybody is safe and well. Looking forward to the weekend and what it brings. 🏆 #LFC

As far as albums go, "The ArchAndroid" is still my pick, as a concept from top to bottom. If it's one single track - "Dorothy Dandridge Eyes" is one that stands out. Esperanza's involvement just takes it to an entirely different level.

I'm going to pay for the lack of sleep now, but it was worth it! Such a professional performance by #LFC, from front to back. Still a long way to go, but fully deserve the position we currently hold. Simple as that.

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.
We wrote on Saturday about how Meta is going all-out to meet the threat of Bluesky: wapo.st/3OrYxBj
Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.

It is kind of amazing that I've only had an active account on Bluesky for 10 minutes, and I'm already seeing so many familiar names from (what was) twitter. Especially the #LFC friendly ones.

I've just set up a new account here after being absent from that *other* platform (you know which one) for almost two years. Still not sure where I'm heading with social media going forward, hoping for a much better experience here. Let's see how things go. 🙂
