According to Russians Putin told Trump if US sends Tomahawks, Russia will declare formal war and unleash hardliners.

The "full scale invasion" propaganda sludge we're fed is designed to distract from this reality.

Russia is only going at about 30% and there's way worse than Putin in Russia's ranks

Nursery Crimes were a Melbourne band back in the early 90s and last night I listened to their album Fun Hurts. Forgot how good it is. This is kind of a cover of a cover (remember Zoot?) and it’s a fantastic version.

No counter protest to the far right lunatics in Sydney.

It's why the Nazis focus on Melbourne. They're welcome everywhere else.

Completely agree. And the emergence of festivals like the Big Day Out that exposed people to these acts live.

jamieleftpeg.bsky.social @jamieleftpeg.bsky.social · 1d

Before that those acts were tribunes for very clear genres that had clearly defined cultural markers and boundaries.

Sometimes even genuine enmity ... metal types fighting "homies", ravers reviled as "druggies" etc.

People would affect repulsion at certain music - "turn that doof doof shit off".

Being Gen X means remembering the Before Time that flourished before the Stuck Culture shock.

And key to Stuck Culture's emergence was the dissolution between alternative and mainstream

Happened across 94-97 when Nirvana, Pantera, Snoop, Prodigy and Smashing Pumpkins albums all debuted at number 1

This is so English Green. Sir, you can convey very simply that there is not a single "Green Party in Britain" through saying "Green Parties", have you met anyone Scottish never mind a Scottish Green, do you understand how annoyed they get when you don't recognise they are their own party?

Where does he go in winter?

Perhaps he enters a fugue state curled up inside a nest of chewed up newspapers he constructs in early March
