Australian, family man, gamer, atheist, leftist, not necessarily in that order. Hate and greed are bad, so who’s feeding them to you?

Imagine a “meta-media” outlet that only interviews journalists & media execs, whether by appointment or on the street. Faced with having to answer or flee the obvious “why haven’t you reported on this” questions on camera, they might feel the pressure to re-enable actual journalism more acutely.

Karl Popper’s paradox of tolerance stated that tolerating INtolerance could undermine tolerance itself. Similarly, we now see (again) the impact of allowing the bad-faith participation of authoritarians in the democratic process. “Vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again” was a clue.

Normalise having screenshots and sound bites ready to go within seconds during interviews. Enough of, “I never said that.”

Randomly found Queen of the Damned on TV. Stuart Townsend as Lestat looks uncannily like BOTH Edward and Bella, six years before Twilight.

Pretty Russian-American Twitch streamer Mira is now signal boosting speeches by right-wing politicians and pundits, and literally encouraging voters in any country to vote against democracy before they are destroyed by immigrants. The Russian propaganda is literally coming from inside the house.

The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves…and for others.

A statistical take: Gender is not binary but bimodal. “Cis male” and “cis female” are such a majority that it’s possible to pretend it’s just binary. People outside the two ‘modes’ complicate the world merely by existing, but still have a right to exist. Trans and queer rights are human rights.

#language nerds - Song lyrics are starting to use similes without the “like” or any precursor at all: “And now you wanna kick it Jackie Chan” “You still make my heart beat fast Ferrari” “I’ll pop you like a pea, yeah edamame” (only on the second) Right or wrong, is there a name for this?

#musicians is there a high-pitched woodwind instrument that can play an A but not the B just above it? I think the song Guardia Millenial Fair in #chronotrigger omits a high 6th note to simulate this. I heard the note so clearly in my head that it was years before I noticed it wasn’t there.

1886 spoiler: Dr Jekyll was doomed because he remained a normal, conflicted man while Mr Hyde was pure self-interest. That single-mindedness helped Hyde slowly take over while Jekyll fruitlessly searched for a miracle formula to control him. The left cannot afford to fight within itself anymore.
