Long weekend just prior, house was empty for the first time in 25yrs. Took the opp to do some multi-track digi recording. Yesterday, inspired by anti-ICE #protests, I put together this #music video visualiser for my cover of Ohio, feat current & #historical resistance footage from around the #world.

My two cents: If a large dog like Kaya were to be constantly shocked & abused she would show obvious signs of that trauma & would be extremely dangerous to have around other people, particularly strangers, such as all the guests that Hasan hosts live in his studio on a regular basis.

I understand #Greta does not want to focus on the torture she and other #Flotilla activists endured as hostages in Israeli prison, but she is correct in saying this example illustrates the attitude of their captors.

#Israel has truly become what they hated most. 😒

Israel used 3D assets from a cyberpunk scifi art project, Scottish maritime museum & elsewhere, to create model animations of tunnels etc. Additionally animation of underground Hamas command centre at Al-Shifa Hospital was the same animation used previous year, saying it was tunnels under UN school.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

They know how to fix it, they just don't want to.

It's all geared towards investors over ordinary Australians who just want a roof over their head.

Real photograph, by Samuel Corum, from an August 2020 article published in the New York Times. 👀

An image of Donald Trump. Behind him are the American flag and a flag of the US Presidential Seal. A spherical light radiates behind him from between the two flags. The light stand creates the illusion of a pair of devil horns coming from his head.

Indeed it should be Buttrose and Anderson that are forced to cough up for this disrepute they brought on our Aunty.

It's just really funny that they trained their LLMs on the entire corpus of human knowledge and they're consistently annoyed with each fresh discovery that reality has a left-wing bias.

Exactly. Especially when the Overton window has shifted so much to the far-right!

The Australia Institute @australiainstitute.org.au · 22d

The "sensible centre" is not the same as evidence-based policy.

With online gambling, junk food advertising or incarcerating children, evidence of harm is clear, but centrist positions are defined by politics rather than evidence.
